Meditation is nothing but withdrawing all the barriers; thoughts, emotions, sentiments,

everything that builds a wall between you and existence. The moment they drop, you
suddenly find yourself in tune with the whole; not only in tune, you really find you are the
whole. Osho
Remember you dont meditate to get anything, but to get rid of things. We do it, not with
desire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it. You wont be able to find it.
Opening the Earth Chakra:
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones courage. Anais Nin
This chakra, also known as the root chakra, deals with survival and is blocked by fear. In
order to open this chakra we must be able to let go of fear so that it can go through the
alchemical transformation into courage. The earth chakra doesnt just ground us physically it
also grounds us temporally by keeping us in the present moment. Those with open earth
chakras tend to be healthier and more balanced than others. They tend to be less fearful
and more centered. Those with closed earth chakras are often imbalanced and
disconnected, and they tend to be fearful and lack in focus.
To open the earth chakra, focus meditation on the base of your spine. Imagine a bright red
energy moving down your spine and branching down into the earth like the roots of a tree.
Visualize yourself receiving the full bounty of the earths primordial energy. Relish in this
most ancient of connections. Embrace your fear. Let go of your fear. Breathe the sacred
breath of survival.
