8th Chakra Meditation

The 8th Chakra meditation will open your consciousness to Eagle awareness.

Sit in a quiet place either cross legged or kneeling on the floor 

If you must sit on a chair use a chair without arms 

Breath deeply and pay attention to the top and bottom of the breath

Let the mind rest there

Breathe through a few cycles and let the flow of thoughts calm

Raise your arms above the head as straight as possible

Raising your hands above the head you can feel a ball of energy above you, hold your hands there and see the ball of energy radiating light (I see it as a golden light, but the color you see isn’t important) 

Turn the palms out and down as though you are unfurling a cloth that starts above your head in a circle behind you. 

Fold your hands back on your lap. 

Continue to follow the breath with special attention to the change from inhale to exhale, and from exhale to inhale. 

In your mind’s eye see the light of the 8th chakra radiating around your whole body and enveloping the body like a sphere of energy encircling you. 

Sit in the timelessness. This is an experience of non-duality which is accessible to everyone. Experiencing the timelessness of the 8th chakra which is a direct experience of the soul (Eagle) level of awareness. You can, once you are grounded in that awareness, open your eyes. You may see energy swirling around, you may see orbs of light and other energetic phenomenon moving around you. Remember how you feel so you can call on this level at will in the future. This is Eagle awareness. Close your eyes again and feel yourself soaring through a brilliant blue sky. The air moving beneath your wings. Allow yourself to fully experience flight. Circling, climbing, diving, look out across the world and see the vastness of all creation beneath you. 

When you are ready to return, bring your hands to your sides and grab the bottom of the energy, as though you were taking hold of a piece of cloth. Fold the light sphere of the chakra back up above your head, like you are folding up a large shawl of material. 

Hold your hands there, above your head, on either side of the ball of energy, and slowly draw the ball down into the top of your head, down through the third eye area between the eye brows, down through the throat, the heart, continue to draw the sphere of light through the body, then down through the floor and down to the center of the earth, returning the energy to Pachamama. Our mother earth will then transmute the energy, purifying it, and recycle any negativity back to positive energy to be sent back out into the Universe.  

Allow a few moments for your breathing to return to normal, bring your attention to the surface of your skin and the weight of your body on the floor, or chair. 

You may open your eyes, slowly stand up, the meditation is now complete.
