The reason this is titled for beginners is because I am going to only tell you what you need to know to get started right away. I do of course recommend a more indepth study of the chakra system and each of the major chakras and the foot chakra.
Everything you do from chakra work, to clearing yourself and even using healing modalities requires some visualization on your part. Don’t worry if you are not good at visualizing because visualizing, similar to developing abilities, improves the more you use it. So today you may have a hard time visualizing but two weeks from now you will be amazed at how much your skill to visualize has improved. Also, if you are thinking about developing clairvoyance this is a skill you will be using so no better time than the present to get started.
You can visualize with your eyes open or closed. Try both to see which you prefer. Some find it easier to visualize their own selves with their eyes closed.
First just try visualizing yourself as a vague figure (doesn’t have to be detailed) and visualize that there is a bright light emanating from the middle of your chest. See the light growing big and brighter until it is big and bright like the sun. Imagine feeling energy pouring from this light and spreading slowly over your whole body. Try to feel it.
That is an example of visualizing. You do want to try to involve as many of your senses as possible and if you do you will notice, for example, that doing that serves other purposes such as increasing your clairsentience (clear feeling abilities) making you more sensitive to feeling energy. If you are a healer this will be of great help to you as a healer.
So, it is really that simple. Although I am just speaking of chakra work here, remember that you will want to ground and protect…always be grounded and protected.
When you visualize the chakra you may want to visualize them as flowers opening up and spinning fast clockwise. You can get creative and visualize your hand (or a hand) scrubbing the chakra clean and then rinsing it off followed by seeing the chakra become cleaner and brighter. This is all a matter of using your imagination. There is no need to worry about if your visualizing well enough…your intent will go a long way.

Opening and Clearing the Charkas
To work the chakras you need to focus on one chakra at a time starting from the bottom up, foot chakra up to crown chakra. You can either stand or sit with feet flat on the floor as long as your spine is straight.

- Begin with purposeful breathing. Exhale slowly expelling all air from your lungs. Hold your breath for a count of four or five and then inhaleslowly. Hold your breath for a count of four or five. Continue this purposeful controlled breathing as you are opening and clearing your chakras.
- Ground down through to the core of the earth before you begin to open and clear your chakras. See roots similar to a tree trucks growing out of your root chakra and growing down your legs. Once the roots reach your feet see root also growing out of your feet as well and all roots growing down through the earth. See the roots growing deeper and deeper through the earth until finally reaching the core of the earth. Take your time. See the roots merge into the core of the earth. You can also see your roots merge into a crystal that is at the core of the earth such as a citrine, clear quartz, rose quartz, or hematite crystal. Visualize that energy is now coming up your roots from the core of the earth or from the crystal at the core if you chose to visualize grounding into a crystal. See the energy as a bright white ball of energy that is cleansing. See the energy from the core of the earth traveling up until it reaches your feet.
- Visualize the bright white ball of light surrounding your foot chakra at a point between your feet at the level of the soles of your feet. See your hands prying it open like the petals of a flower. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter golden brown. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your foot chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. It is important to see all your chakras spinning clockwise because if they are spinning counter-clockwise that means they are blocked. Try to feel the energy that is at your foot chakra as it clears.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your foot chakra. See it traveling up your legs as a ball of bright white light until it reaches your root chakra located at the base of your spine. See it as a closed red flower or a red ball. See your hands prying the root chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter red. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your root chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your root chakra to your sacral chakra which is a couple of finger widths below your belly button. See it as a closed orange flower or an orange ball. See your hands prying the sacral chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter orange. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your sacral chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your sacral chakra to your solar plexus chakra which is about three finger widths above your belly button. See it as a closed yellow flower or a yellow ball. See your hands prying the solar plexus chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter yellow. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your solar plexus chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your solar plexus chakra to your heart chakra which is located in the middle of your chest. See it as a closed green flower or a green ball. See your hands prying the heart chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter green. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your heart chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your heart chakra to your throat chakra which is located at the base of your neck. See it as a closed sky blue flower or a sky blue ball. See your hands prying the throat chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter sky blue. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your throat chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your throat chakra to your brow chakra/third eye which is located between and about a fingers width above your eyebrows. See it as a closed indigo flower or an indigo ball. See your hands prying the brow chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter indigo. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your brow chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
- Visualize the energy that is from the core of the earth continuing its travel upwards from your brow chakra to your crown chakra which is located just above the top of your head. See it as a closed white/gold flower or a white/gold ball. See your hands prying the crown chakra open. Imagine the bright white light is cleansing it and it becoming a clearer brighter white/gold. Spend 10 to 15 minutes visualizing your solar plexus chakra as a disc shape spinning very fast clockwise. As you move up from chakra to chakra visualize that you see all the chakras below spinning fast, clockwise, and at the same speed.
As you work the chakras daily you will realize that you can feel the flow of energy through them. One of your goals is to make all the chakras spin fast but also to get them to all spin the same speed and all clockwise. Sometimes what happens is that before a person starts working on opening and clearing their chakras they are spinning the wrong direction. Of course if one of them is spinning the wrong way you can consider that chakra to be blocked and out of balance. By working them everyday, visualizing them spinning clockwise, being bright and clear, and as a last goal see them as being large and extended out from the body you will open them further and balance them more. It is not something that happens over night. On a scale of 1-100% as you continue working on your chakras they are open a greater and greater percentage. They do not immediately become 100% open after clearing and balancing them one time.
