Points to consider before the Lotus Blossom meditation:
	The Crown chakra encompasses our spirituality, our faith in ourselves and the Great Creator. When we have faith, we trust ourselves, feel serene, calm in the knowledge that all will turn out as it is supposed to happen. Perhaps not as we expected, but for our highest good.
	The Third Eye or Brow chakra helps us to see into the past or the future, or upwards. Learn to visualize with your third eye.
	The Throat chakra deals with communication issues. What do you need to say and to whom? The Throat is tied to creativity and communication. When you are not communicating your emotions properly, you may feel pressure there.
	Heart chakra blockages can manifest as immune system or heart problems, or a lack of compassion. If we can learn to love ourselves, we can love others more fully. The more we share our love, the more open we are to receiving it. It's a beautiful cycle.
	Yellow is the receptor, the gut feeling that we get when we walk into a roomful of people. It is the seat of Emotions. It gives us a sense of personal power in the world. Blockages manifest as anger or a sense of victimization. We often have the solar plexus chakra open wider than the others. Learn to open and close it according to the amount of energy you are willing to allow entry.
	Orange is the color of relationships. What relationships do you want to work on? Is there anyone for whom you grieve? Blockages manifest as emotional problems or sexual guilt.
	Red is the color of survival. What survival issues do you need to deal with? The Root chakra contains the primary 8 cells that have all of the knowledge of creation and remain the only cells in your body that do not change in your lifetime.
	Black is a grounding color. It grounds us in the physical world, hence the saying "Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground."
In your journal, write down any issues - emotional, physical or spiritual that you would like to work on. You always have choices. Looking at the options beforehand allows us to make informed decisions. Looking at the options after the fact often causes regret. A cautionary note - wandering around with your chakras wide open may cause you to feel overwhelmed because you are receiving too much input. Learn to control how open your chakras are when around other people otherwise you may become too receptive and pick up other peoples' "issues". If you feel that you are too receptive, simply tell the chakras to close to the appropriate level. This is a relaxing meditation to do before going to bed so you don't become overwhelmed.

Visualize yourself walking alongside a river. Up ahead there is a shallow muddy area. Focus your energy at your feet…
Walk thru the mud. Play with it - push it around with your feet. It's brown and squishy and cool as it squeezes between your toes. Reach down with your hand and play with it - molding it into a round ball, the way you might have done as a child. Savor it…

The color BROWN is grounding us to PachaMama, Mother Earth. The Earth is our Mother, Timeless, Graceful, Dignified, Pure. Feel this Heartbeat (drums) from PachaMama - Mother Earth… Let her energies fill you … rejuvenate you … heal you …
Now focus the energy you received from PachaMama upwards. Bring the energy up your legs to your tailbone, at the end of your spine.

Up ahead, the earth turns a brick RED color - it's red clay, thick, strong, good for baking into a solid adobe home. Let the color red surround you. Let it fill every pore, every cell.
Bring the color RED forward through your body, from back to front. See a RED Lotus bud appear and slowly let the petals open until they are fully unfurled. Beathe in the color RED. Know what it feels like to have your ROOT chakra fully open. Experience it…
Now slowly close the petals until it is a bud again. Pull the energy back toward your spine. Move the energy up your spine, behind your belly button. See the color ORANGE, perhaps the color of a pumpkin or trees with orange leaves, rustling in the wind, on a beautiful Fall day.

Bring the color YELLOW forward through your body, from back to front. See a YELLOW Lotus bud and slowly let the petals open until they are fully unfurled. Breathe in the color YELLOW. Know what it feels like to have your SOLAR PLEXIS chakra fully open. Experience it… Let the anger dissipate. Blow it away, like a puff of air. Or forcefully expel it like a flower throwing seeds.
Now slowly close the petals until it is a bud again. Know how it feels to consciously close it…
Pull the energy back toward your spine. Move the energy up your spine, behind your HEART. See the colors PINK or GREEN.
There is a PINK rose in the path. Pick it up and hold it if you need to love yourself more.

There is also a GREEN fern with soft leaves extending outward, like fingers reaching out. Touch the GREEN fern if you need to be able to share your love with others.
