One thing I learned from an old Reiki Master (coincedently, lol), was this: The more you try, the less you find. The less you try, the more you find. The hidden key to that is to just Do.
By Doing, use your imagination. See each seperate Chakra, See the negative energy flow from your coil. When you put a visual to it, it doesn't mean it's just a figment of your imagination, your actually triggering that exact response through your will and focus. The mind is the most powerful tool given to you, utlize it as much as you can. A simple daydream can have very profound affects if the "required" amount of focus and will are directed into it.
You can also use Chakra stones to help you out. To make them more effective, you can program them, by holding the stone in your power hand (your dominate hand) and holding it up to your Third Eye, projecting it's intent (ex: Open Solar Plexus) through the visualizing the words, and the act of opening the chakra, into the stone. You don't need to do this very long, it usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute to fully program a stone. Then once it's programed, place the stone on the corresponding Chakra location, and visualize some more. It's all in the mind, essentially. Pay attention to your body, and you'd be greatly surprised how powerful your own mind is in controlling certain situations, especially when it comes to self.
Here's a list of corresponding stones in case you don't know.
Crown - Clear Quartz, White Howlite, White Marble, Moonstone, Amethyst. Clear, White and Purple stones
Third Eye - Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite, Iolite, Selenite, Moonstone. Clear, White, Purple Stones
Throat - Blue Lace Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Turquoise, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Iolite, Blue Topaz. Blue, Blue-Green and Blue-Purple stones
Heart - Green Aventurine, Jade, Amazonite, Moldavite, Pink Quartz, Rhodonite, Rhodachrosite, Kunzite. Pink and Green Stones
Solar Plexus - Citrine, Yellow Jasper, Yellow Calcite, Sunstone, Tiger’s Eye, Golden Topaz, Peridot, Serpentine. Yellow and Yellow-Green stones
Navel - Red and Orange Carnelian, Red Jasper, Orange Jasper.Red and Orange Stones
Root - Red and Orange Carnelian, Red Jasper, Orange Jasper. Red and Orange Stones
Alot of these stones are very cheap to come by, and can be ordered online. The more expensive ones would be Turquoise, Sapphire, and Kunzite. But they are the most powerful from my experiences.
Also good to have would be some clear Quartz specifically for grounding and purifying. When you have opened the chakra, I would suggest that you immediatly take the quartz and use it to cleanse, again, through visualization. You don't need to program a quartz for that, because it's naturally a clearing stone, and very powerful.
And a last bit of advice, your Root chakra is actually located in the spot between your genitals and anus. It's the most intense one to open, and usually recommended to leave for last. Even after years of chakra work, that one always hits the hardest, not in a bad way mind you, it just gets very overwhelming. It's your direct connection to Gaia, and opening it opens you up for all her power and glory. Also, some people will notice that their sex drive gets Very sparked, and if you want a good orgasm, that's the time to acheive it. I recommend doing that too, because a good healthy orgasm will send that energy from the Root throughout the rest of your body. It's not just physical, but deeply spiritual (Tantric at it's finest).
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask. No question is a stupid question.
Namaste
