I suppose we needed this thread.
Here are some exercises/visualizations I use. There's a fine difference between visualization and imagination, because everything you visualize is actually real. To hold to the idea that things are of imagination disempowers them.
Red: The chakra I know most about, and the easiest to open (for me). This is Gaia herself and your body, and all things around you. All things are gifts from Gaia, and to be thankful for that is to begin to heal this energy center. To connect with all things that are 3D and physical. For they are also part of you.
Many a seeker does the mistake in trying to forget the fundamentals, and simply aim for the higher intellectual/spiritual concepts. They -really- want to forget all about this world. This gives much instability, because that's what the Red ray is about: To ground yourself. Think of it as sticking roots deep into Gaia, and giving her energy while she empowers you in return.
Hugging a tree works great, or visualizing that you have roots of energy always in connection with Gaia. Lying on the bare ground. Visualizing lying on the bare ground.
When you feel satisfied and at peace with all 'worldly' business then this chakra is feeling great.
Not having a good red chakra can be likened to having a great computer with super efficiency, fantastic software and hardware. Yet, there's one problem: There is no electricity, so you can't use it! You can meditate, yoga, exercise, find great spiritual truths and revelations, have all you ever need, but without a strong fundament this all becomes of no meaning quite soon.
Currently I have trouble with blue ray where I have a low self-esteem in communicating and showing myself, being very quiet and reflective most of the time. My blue chakra is then under activated.
There is also a great hunger for power/information, which I feel stressful. This is yellow ray being over activated, because it desires more and more things to balance and "consume". I want to dominate myself, as it were...
These are life-long balances I must learn, my greatest opposition. They came before my incarnation and/or in my childhood. It's hard to know.
Feel free to add/discuss as you wish!
