Let the Earths energy move up to the third eye chakra feel it tingle as the energy revitalises this chakra, picture the blossoming in deepest indigo .
Finally let the Earth energy rise to your crown chakra, feel the tingling sensation and picture the chakra blossoming in beautiful purples and violets, now draw in the pure white light from the universe, you are at one with the universe the environment and yourself, draw the universal energy, the attunement energy, draw it down through your chakras, intensifying their colours, Basque in the energy feel the loving light and revitalizing energy
