2nd Chakra Meditation with Food

Chocolate is one of the foods that can be used in the creation of spiritual energy. Chocolate is associated with the second chakra.

This week I am focusing my meditation efforts on creating energy with the second chakra. There are many different methods to create spiritual energy. You can combine many of the methods in a ritual (which I described in a prior post), or just select a few, select one a day, or even just focus on one method all together. The process is very individual and knowing what to do is based on your desire and how you feel.

Today I used hot chocolate in my basic meditation.

MY MEDITATION PROCESS
I sat down in the place I usually meditate. The room was dark with a lit candle. I sipped the cup of hot chocolate, relaxing and preparing my mind and body for a meditation while I drank. When I felt relaxed and ready to begin the meditation, I put the cup of chocolate down, closed my eyes, took some deep breaths, and began the meditation.

My mind focused on the sensation of drinking the hot chocolate and how I felt. I could feel the warmth in my mouth, down my throat, and in my stomach. I visualized how that food was now being used by my physical body. I then sensed my spiritual body and my physical body sharing the nourishment and pleasure from that hot chocolate.

I then focused on the second chakra and felt and saw (in my mind) the color orange expand and grow. It was a clear vibrant color and very energized. I felt that color expand beyond my physical body, as if it was a light radiating outward from me. I felt that second chakra energy continuing to light around me and was available to the universe to help expand truth, creativity, sexuality, integrity, and hope.

I stayed in this center of orange radiant light for several minutes. I ended the meditation and opened my eyes. I took the remaining hot chocolate and drank it, completing the renewal of my physical body with the food associated with the second chakra.
