The Solar Descent: A 9-Chakra Sun Meditation

Quick Practice Guide
Active Time15 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Materials

  • Solar Noon
  • Sunscreen
  • Direct Sunlight

Instructions

Prepare for meditation:

  • Put on sunscreen. Step outside and stand in direct sunlight, facing east.
  • Close your eyes or rest them in a soft downward gaze. Never look directly at the sun.
  • Take 3 slow breaths. Set your intention: "I open myself to the highest solar energy available to me."

Learn the movement; you'll repeat it 9 times, once for each energy center:

  • Reach both arms up, palms open to the sun
  • Hold softly: feel warmth gather in your hands
  • Pull the light down into the energy center you're working with, moving your hands to that location.

Repeat the movement for each chakra, moving downward:

  • Soul star (above your head)
  • Crown
  • Third eye
  • Throat
  • Heart
  • Solar plexus: linger here; when the warmth feels strong, say: "This is where the sun lives in me."
  • Sacral
  • Root
  • Earth star (Visualize this chakra, deep in the earth, beneath your feet)

Seal in your meditation:

  • Rest both palms over your solar plexus, take one more breath, and thank the sun.
  • Feeling wired afterward? Place your palms on the earth and let the extra energy drain down.
