Chakra Clearing for Kids
Teach kids chakra maintenance early.It might seem like kids don’t have much to worry about in the chakra department – they are not under the kinds of stress that adults cope with daily and they haven’t yet developed the self-limiting beliefs that mess up our chakras. With that said, it’s never too early to teach kids basic chakra maintenance, so that they can avoid problems down the road!
Help kids feel safe, enjoy life, be self-confident, be loving and compassionate, speak their truth, be intuitive and connect to their higher selves with a lifelong chakra balancing practice.
The following chakra practice is great for kids ages 7 and up, although you can modify it to be age-appropriate for younger kids too.
The most important thing to remember is that kid-centered chakra clearing has a different focus. Their subtle bodies are not yet fully developed, their hormonal systems aren’t fully developed and kids may find intense exercises like pranayama (a root chakra breathing exercise) overly stimulating.
Tips for chakra clearing for kids:
1. Kids need to move their bodies so if you’re doing a seated meditation, keep it short (5 minutes tops for kids younger than teens, or teens just starting out with this practice!) and incorporate movement into part of the exercise.
2. Work a lot more with the lower chakras than you do with the higher chakras. Kids are already very attuned to the universal energy (even if they can’t express it in words), but their are developing their sense of self and belonging in the world. The first chakra is related to their physical development, the second to their emotional development, and the third to their sense of self – the ego.
3. Incorporate the physical world and engage their senses and imagination. Keep it fun!
Here is a simple chakra balancing practice you can do alongside your kids:
Root chakra: stand barefoot, feet firmly on the ground and visualize yourself as a tree. Your roots are deep and broad, giving you support in any kind of weather. Look around you but do not turn your head. Stretch your arms outward and upward, feeling the air.
Use kid-friendly exercises to balance their chakras.Sacral chakra: you’re still a tree. Put your hands on your lower belly and way your body gently as on a windy day, feeling your ‘roots’ anchor you in the ‘soil’. Imagine rain quenching your thirst, imagine birds landing on you and nesting on you, imagine people and animals walking by. Savor the life within you and around you.
Solar plexus chakra: you’re still a tree. Put your hands over your belly button and imagine the light and the heat from the sun warm you all the way through. Imagine your branches growing and your leaves soaking up the sun, giving you energy while at the same time providing shade to people, animals and smaller plants.
Heart chakra: Sit down. Pleace your hands over your heart, and imagine a beautiful flower blooming in your heart – starting with a tiny bud, all the way to its full and glorious bloom. Imagine the fragrance of this flower, and how people appreciate it. Offer them your beauty and fragrance, just for the joy of doing so.
Throat chakra: Still sitting, place your fingers on your throat, and hum. Feel the vibration. Imagine yourself sitting on a mountaintop, singing at the top of your lungs, for the whole world to hear. Imagine everybody enjoying your special song.
Third eye chakra: Stand up and be a tree again. Imagine your favorite place where you would like to be ‘planted’ as a tree. Take in all of the sights, sounds, smells, etc. around you – the temperature, any living things moving around, sun, moon, stars, weather… look closely at the tiny things around you as well as looking as far as you can on the horizon.
Crown chakra: Imagine a bright, warm light shining into your head. Imagine this light moving down through your body all the way to your feet and down into the earth. Give thanks for being alive and for all of the wonderful things in your life.
