Open the Root Chakra: These chakra meditations use mudras, which are special hand positions, to open chakras. The mudras have the power to send more energy to particular chakras. To enhance the effect, sounds are chanted. These sounds are from Sanskrit letters. When chanted, they cause a resonation in your body that you can feel at the chakra they are meant for. For pronunciation, keep in mind that: the "A" is pronounced as in "ah, "the "M" is pronounced as "mng."Do a meditation for 7 - 10 breaths. Chant the sound several times each breath (for example three times).
