• Set a timer for how long you wish to meditate, recommended time 10-20 minutes. If you're new to meditating, I advise you to start with shorter mediations and successively lengthen the time.
  

• If comfortable, sit on the heels for this meditation. Option to sit crosslegged if sitting on the heels bothers the ankles or knees.
  
  
• Lengthen the spine, slightly lower the chin towards the cheast and lower down the shoulders away from the ears.
  
  
• Place the hands on top of eachother in your lap, palms facing up. Left hand under the right with the tips of the thumbs touching eachother gently.
  

• Close the eyes and allow yourself to turn inwards, and take a couple of deep breaths to anchor yourself in this moment.
  
  
• Begin to visualize a bright orange spinning wheel bellow the belly button at your lower abdomen, the location for the sacral chakra.
  
  
• Chant the mantra VAM silently to yourself to activate the sacral chakra.
  
  
• Whenever you notice yourself being caught up in a thought or feeling, practice observing whatever arises without labeling it as "good" or "bad", "pleasant" or "unpleasant", it simply IS. 
  
  
• Instead of trying to get rid of a thought or feeling, be the observer and awareness behind it. If you need to, you can breathe with the feeling or observe a thought for a while before you gently bring your awareness back to silently repeating your mantra, Vam, Vam, Vam as you visualize the spinning wheel of orange energy at your lower abdomen.
