This technique is by no means impossible, but it does require a large amount of concentration and visualization. Like any other meditation this can either be done seated on the floor or a chair, or lying down. Just be sure that you don't fall asleep.
Starting with the Base or Root chakra; you must first "open" up the chakra. This can either be done through visualization or through the use of stones. (The corresponding stones can be found at the Chakras Page). Place the stone where the chakra would be, or hold it in your hand as you visualize. Picture the chakra as a flower opening up to blossom. Once it is open, it should look like a glowing, spinning ball of light. You will notice that some of your chakras will be dimmer than others, or perhaps have dark spots on them. This is because you are not as strong in this energy area, or maybe you are ill. Spend more time focusing your energies on these particular chakras.
Once you are done "playing" with the first chakra, you must close it before moving onto the next one. You can either remove the stone from your hand or picture it closing up like a flower, just as you did when you opened it. You can then move onto the next chakra and repeat the same procedure.
As humans we all have areas that we would like to improve. Chakras can be very handy tools for aiding in this improvement. For example, let's say that you want to improve your divination abilities. Divination correspondes with your third eye chakra... so spend a little extra time focusing and pouring all your energy into this chakra. This will help to strength (or brighten) this area of your energy.
