Waking Energy 7 Timeless Practices Designed to Reboot Your Body and Unleash Your Potential

your highest good.
9. Now repeat this same sequence in its entirety with the next five chakras, sending your breath into
each one in turn, seeing its brilliant color, and then watching your breath as it becomes infused
with the color and emotional resonance of the chakra.
The orange of the Sacral Chakra and its inherent creativity, joy, and enthusiasm.
The yellow of the Solar Plexus Chakra and its personal power, expansiveness, and seeds of
spirituality.
The green of the Heart Chakra and its devotion, passion, and unconditional love for the self
and others.
The blue of the Throat Chakra and its independence, fluid thought, and clear, empowered
communication.
The indigo purple of the Third-Eye Chakra and its intuitive visioning and cosmic
consciousness.
Follow the same course with each chakra, cleansing it, releasing stagnant prana from it
through the spine and sending it into the earth, setting it into harmonious action, and then
drawing its energy, color, and higher resonance of corresponding emotions up through the
sushumna nadi and out through the crown.
Continue in this manner until you have awakened and worked through the first six chakras,
raising the energy of each up through the spine, so that they start to communicate with one
another and work as a team to bring balance and harmony to your entire body.
10. After you have brought awareness to the six chakras, see the white light of the Crown Chakra, the
culmination of all seven colors, rising from your root up through the sushumna nadi and coming
to radiate through the crown, exiting in a shimmering explosion of energy and light that showers
you in waves of harmonious rainbow energy that surrounds you in a glowing cocoon of light and
love.
11. Rest in your radiant cocoon of light, in your own radiance. Breathe this light and love into your
heart center and third eye. Relax into its soothing sea of loving energy and know that you are
supported by the earth below and heaven above, divinely protected and guided at all times.
12. Bring your palms into anjali mudra (Prayer Position), the hand gesture for union and peace, in
front of your heart.
Surrender and Receive
Surrender and Receive inspires you to open your heart to what is—life exactly as it is—and is
perhaps most representative of what we are trying to achieve with meditation in the first place. Even
if you’re someone who loves to clear the clutter in your home or routinely empty your closets, it’s
still not easy to let go of things—especially our intangible emotions. This meditation makes the notion
of letting go a friendlier one, because as you clear your inner space and cultivate the courage to let go
on your meditation cushion, you can then manifest the same in your life.
Just as we’re not especially good at letting go, so we also don’t really know how to receive. That
means receiving everything from compliments and praise to love. Surrender and Receive will teach
you to release what you no longer need and give yourself permission to receive your heart’s desire.
