The question ‘how to open a chakra’ is an extremely important and crucial one since the seven chakras in a human body, located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head are powerful life force energy centers which needs to be opened so that the energy meridians can be balanced for smooth energy flow for the ultimate physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of man. These chakras can be opened with the technique of Chakra meditation which uses specific mudras or hand movements and Sanskrit sound vibrations.

Remember that the pronunciation of ‘A’ should be ‘Ah’ and sound the ending ‘M’ with ‘Mng’ or a slightly vibrating sound.

Remember to concentrate on the sacral portion of your body or the lower back region while you’re doing this.
The Soar Plexus or the Manipura chakra is symbolized by a yellow lotus with ten petals.
