Chakra meditation can help you stay positive and peaceful by aligning your seven chakras. Even though you might not be able to see or feel these chakras, you can focus on these points while meditating. The chakras are discs or vortices which are aligned with the nerve centres along your spinal cord. 

Here are some of the seven chakras in your body and the colours they are associated with:

1. Muladhara or root chakra (red) 
2. Swadhisthana or sacral chakra (orange)
3. Manipura chakra or solar plexus (bright yellow) 
4. Anahata or heart chakra (green)
5. Vishuddha or throat chakra (blue)
6. Ajna or third eye chakra (indigo blue)
7. Sahasrara or crown chakra (violet) 

• Here’s how you can try chakra meditation

While doing chakra meditation you can sit in a chair with your feet touching the floor. However, it is ideal if you sit in the lotus position before you begin your breathing exercise. Place your palms on your knees and keep your body loose. Watch the video above to understand how you can use breathing exercises to align your chakras. 

• Benefits of chakra meditation 

Chakra meditation can be done to align the chakras or cleanse the chakras. When your chakras are aligned you will find yourself at peace.
