Mars Chakra: Action Energy

Your Mars chakra is located behind your navel.  It is the seat of action energy.  Sitting comfortably, close your eyes and focus your attention on your Mars chakra.  Breathe deeply, and with each breath, imagine that energy is flowing from the air around you and from the Earth below into to your Mars chakra, where the energy accumulates.  Imagine it stirring and swirling and sparking.  Consciously release this energy into the rest of your body.  Feel it flowing down your legs and into your feet.  Feel it flowing down your legs and into your feet.  Feel it flooding your chest and streaming down your arms.  Feel your hands and fingers tingling.  Imagine it flowing into your head and awakening your brain.  Imagine your hair standing on end, energy streaming out of your scalp.  Feel the energy straightening your spine, activating your muscles, and awakening your mind.  Now, open your eyes slowly and feel how energized you are.  The rest of your day should be a breeze!
