Based on the assessment of your energy wheels, you can get a good indication of whether your chakras are in balance, underactive or overactive.
In Balance - colors are vibrant, and energy centers are spinning fluidly.
Overactive - colors are too bright, overbearing or painful; energy centers are spinning too fast or spinning erratically.
Underactive - colors are pale or washed out; energy centers are spinning slowly, are stagnant, or stop & start.
How to practice Sivasana:
Lie on a flat surface and let your body sink into the pull of gravity. Scan your legs and arms. Scan your front and back torso. Scan your neck and head. Notice where you hold tension. If there is strong tension in your low back, support the legs by placing a cushion or rolled blanket under your knees. If there is strong tension in your head neck or shoulders, you may feel better by slightly elevating your head with a small cushion or folded towel. You will probably be most comfortable with your head and neck in line with your spine.
Stay for as little as two minutes, or as long as ten minutes or more, keeping a meditative focus on breath, sensation and detaching from the stream of thoughts.
