Does anyone out there have any suggestions for opening up Chakras? I have been a lot of research and really want to balance my energies so that I might reach my higher being. Any help I could get along the way would be great appreciated. I have begun with my root chakra and look to my chakra reading cards each day for insight and inspiration. I have also done a lot of reasearch on chakra and yoga poses that benifit each. I practiced yoga for over fifteen years. So each morning I open my root chakra with intention, complete my yoga and finish with my meditation. This morning, I was lying in my meditation, then all of a sudden I felt a wave of sensation begin at my heart center and wave up my chest into my throat into my mouth. it was such a shock of sensation that I snapped out of my meditation and my mouth and eyes flew open. Then my music just stopped. I checked out my music source and there was nothing that could have made it stop. I said the affirmation only the greatest good for myself, and only the greates good for those I love for protection. I felt lights and carefare. I then started to hear a faint high pitch noise in my right ear, sort of like you hear when having a hearing test done. Can anyone tell me what this was. Was I doing somethings wrong, is there something that I should be aware of that i am missing. HELP 
Most of mine was closed except for the naval chakra, which makes sense because I have a good sense of self. The rest of them needed some work. I have been working on my root chakra because that is the grounding. And as I understand it you can only work one at a time. And each one balances the other. Such as when the root chakra is balanced the sacral becomes more balanced ect. I do a yoga routine eveyday that focuses on the chakras. Before I begin I open my root chakra and now I am going to do what Violet (thanks violet!!!) suggests and visualize each chakra as a closed lotus flower in that color and visualize it opening. I have to say, that since I have begun, I feel happier, more open, more peaceful, less frusturated. All around I feel great!!! I can't wait to see when I finished. I have discovered that working your chakras is like working your muscles you have to continue to do it or else they will close back up. Chakras are energies therefore they absorb the energies around this, at least that is my thought. Anyone have any other ideas? I would love to hear them.
