Recommended Practice

Using things around the house create focus table to help balance this chakra.  Remember the correspondences.  Use orange pieces, and crystals if you have them handy, otherwise pieces of clothing, towels, scarves, pictures, candles all have a place on the table.  Use whatever reminds you of the areas that you are working on.  You may want to use just a little TV tray, night stand or patio table for this.  This will allow you to stop on the way by and just do a quick visualization exercise.

 
It is time to do a quick 5 minute meditation on the chakra, using an object on the table as a focus.  Visualize the chakra, the flow of the orange through your groin and pelvic area, feel the tingle of this energy in this area.  Visualize pleasure and joy stemming from this area.  Feel that orange energy and pleasure fill this area.  Feel the shiver of pleasure as the energy fills this area.  See the energy flow up through the sushumna, pass through the crown and flows over your body in an aura of the orange the color of the chakra.  No chanting, no need to focus on breathing, just feel the orange energy enveloping the area of the pelvis.  Feel the pleasure of the energy.  Hold the visualization as long as you like.
