How to use these in your practice:
- Visualize the Color: Sit comfortably with a straight spine. Close your eyes and focus on the physical location of the chakra. Visualize the specific meditation color filling that space.
- Chant the Mantra: Take deep, calm breaths. Recite the corresponding Dhyan Mantra either out loud or internally. It is recommended to chant the verse 11, 21, or 108 times to settle the mind.
- Rest in the Energy: After chanting, sit in absolute silence for 5–10 minutes, feeling the qualities of the avatar (like grounding, focus, or peace) grounding into that energy point.
