To know thyself is to follow your inner wisdom in alignment with your ultimate truth thereby creating one harmonious you.
With this in mind, understand that you have a core of pure, vibrant, self-contained energy that radiates outwards through your physical body to surround your being with your own personal energy field called your aura.  This energy field determines, in a significant way, how you feel about the outside world and therefore, how the outside world will react and interact with you.  This very important process of energy flowing through our bodies is largely governed by the functioning of what is called the chakra system.
The Human Chakra System of Energy Explained: 

     The human chakra system is comprised of seven disc-shaped energy centers located throughout the spine and on into the head, each having its own color and representing a specific set of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual characteristics.  The chakras act like your body's energy filter system by continually processing and redistributing influxed energy.  Unresolved issues and misconceptions, whether conscious or unconscious create blockages in your aura or energy field and can be directly attributed to the health of a chakra's energy transmuting ability.  Blockages in your aura create an imbalance throughout the energy system thus causing you to radiate energy that is less than optimal giving you results from the world that are less than optimal.  Tending to your chakras to make sure they are operating properly can have very profound effects, not just on your life, but on those around you as well.  By having a properly functioning chakra system you will be able to exude healthy, self-contained energy out into the world which will inevitably cause you to attract, in return, healthier and more positive results.  Through the inward focus of meditation, chakras can be cleared and energized to keep them in the best shape possible.  A simple yet very effective chakra clearing and energizing meditation is outlined below to help you maintain the health of your chakra energy system and thus exude your most optimum energy.

Chakra Clearing Meditation:  Below is a chakra clearing meditation that is designed to greatly enhance the healthy flow of energy that passes through your chakras. 

     Chakra clearing allows you to more freely radiate your energy into your aura without blockages.  We are going to clear and activate each chakra in succession from one through seven by simply using mental focus and by breathing through them one at a time.  Below you will find a description of each chakra and its location on the body, followed by a meditation that will help you clear and energize it.  Start by finding a quiet, peaceful environment either inside or out in nature and assume a seated position with your back straight and began to quietly observe this environment with the use of all five of your senses.  When you are ready to start, gently close your eyes and begin to take long, cleansing breaths that originate deep in your stomach and extend upwards to completely expand your ribcage, allowing for no separation between inhales and exhales.  Once you get started spend approximately 3-5 minutes on each chakra, while continuing your deep breathing.  Take a minute's rest in between each section to turn your attention fully back to your breathing before you move on to clear the next. To enhance the effectiveness of your chakra clearing you may want to peacefully chant the sound associated with each chakra.


NOTE:
  With any chakra clearing meditation always begin at the root chakra and work your way up to the crown chakra.
Root Chakra Clearing:  Located at the base of the spine and red in color, the root chakra is associated with basic survival issues and our inevitable connection to the Earth.  Associated Sound:  OH  Meditation:  After creating a meditative focus through deep breathing, turn your focus to the base of your spine and envision a glowing red disc spinning there freely.  Imagine this disc strengthening in energy as you focus on it.  Continue giving this chakra all your mental focus as you start to imagine the seat of your consciousness transmit from the center of this chakra and begin to breathe through it.  As you continue to breathe through this chakra you should begin to feel a strong sense of being grounded and a better appreciation of nature.

Sacral Chakra Clearing:  Located in the lower abdomen below the navel and orange in color the sacral chakra is associated with sexual health and creativity.  Associated Sound:  OO  Meditation:  Begin this mediation by moving your attention to the area of the sacral chakra and imagine it glowing a beautiful shade of orange.  Give this chakra all of your focus and attention and imagine it increasing greatly in energy.  Now imagine that your consciousness is now centered in the middle of your sacral chakra and begin breathing confidently through it imagining it radiating with greater pureness with every breath.  Clearinging this chakra will allow you to be more creative as well as to have a healthier sexual outlook.

Solar Plexus Chakra Clearing:  Located in between the navel and the ribcage and yellow in color the solar plexus chakra is asociated with will power and contentment.  Associated Sound:  AH  Meditation:  Begin this chakra meditation by once again moving your focus to the center of this chakra.  This chakra burns a bright shade of yellow.  Imagine it burning brighter as you turn all of your mental attention to it.  Continue your deep breathing as you allow your consciousness to occupy the very center of it and begin your breathing through the solar plexus chakra.  You may begin to feel energy bursts up and down your spine as you begin to feel the fluidity that is caused by clearing this chakra.  The clearing of this chakra will also illicit a feeling of being better connected to others.

Heart Chakra Clearing:  Located in the middle of the upper chest and green in color the heart chakra is associated with unconditional love, not only for others but also for the self.  Associated Sound:  AY  Meditation:  Now turn your attention to your heart chakra.  Imagine it a shiny emerald green and increasing in energy brought about by your continued focus.  As you shift your consciousness to the center of this chakra and begin breathing through it, you will be overwhelmed by feelings of joy as you realize your connection to true love.  Clearing this
chakra will also increase thoughts of emotional healing.

Throat Chakra Clearing:  Located in the middle of the throat and blue in color the throat chakra is associated with the ability to effectively communicate in your own unique voice without diminishing anyone else.  Associated Sound:  EE  Meditation:  Begin this meditation by turning your full mental focus to your throat chakra.  Imagine it beaming a lustrey shade of blue and building in fortitude.  As you shift your consciousness to this chakra and begin your breath clearing you will begin to feel an inner affirmation that says YES to life at every moment and that you are a noble and fearless being.

Third Eye Chakra Clearing:  Located in between the eyes in the middle of the forehead and indigo in color the third eye chakra is associated with mental clarity and intuitive abilities.  Associated Sound:  OM  Meditation:  Begin again by energizing this chakra with your solemn focus, picturing it a brilliant shade of indigo.  As you propel your consciousness to the center of this chakra and start your deep breathing through it, you become aware that this is one of only two chakras located in the head and therefore the beginning of the mental realm.  This chakra will signify the unification of you in all your different roles and therefore the beginning of oneness and spiritual integration.

Crown Chakra Clearing:  Located on the top of the head and violet in color the crown chakra is associated with our connection to the Great Spirit of the universe.  Associated Sound:  NG  Meditation:  You have reached the final destination of your chakra energy where the crystallization of human wholeness is automatically achieved.  At this point the energy flow you have created in the other six chakras flows freely into the crown chakra fully connecting you to the Great Spirit of the universe. Your crown chakra now becomes balanced with your root chakra, integrating your entire chakra system, clearing out all energy blockages and creating full spiritual integration.

NOTE:  Maintaining your chakra system in this way is actually quite simple but involves a daily committment in order to see the desired results.
