This can be done in any chakra (energy-center), but is usually done in the root chakra (the preineum), the heart chakra (middle of the chest ) or in the ajna chakra (between the eyebrows).

Or if you want to do a nice and very powerful systematic method, you can go through all the chakras in order beginning at the bottom and moving up one at a time (this is Chakra Kriya Meditation).
I have done this for a period of some years, twice daily for about an hour or so in each sitting, and had wonderful results from it. It has three steps to be performed in each chakra.
1. Pulsating. On the in-breath sense energy going forward from the spine and to the front of the body and on the out-breath moving back into the spine.
Do this for about ten breaths. (If working with the root chakra or crown chakra, sense the energy moving up on the in-breath and down on the out-breath)
2. Expanding. On the in-breath sense it expanding and on the out-breath sense it contracting. Do this for about ten breaths.
3. Radiating. On both the in- and out-breath, sense it radiating from the chakra. Do this for about ten breaths.
4. Reciving (void). On both the in- and out-breath sense energy flowing into the chakra and radiating from the chakra at the same time. Or just flowing in. Do this for about ten breaths.
5. If you want to do a systematic practice for awakening the entire chakra system, then this is how to shift from one chakra to the next:
On the in-breath feel energy rising up the spine from the chakra you are leaving and reaching the next chakra; on the out-breath feel the new chakra expanding.
Do this for about ten breaths, then proceed as descibed above.
Do this for about ten breaths, then proceed as descibed above.
Note : As you do this practice, you may feel pressure in the body in the chakra area. Also hidden emotions may arise. Please allow what ever comes up to arise, be what it is and leave.
Remember the goal is not catharsis, but to generate a pulse of shakti (spiritual energy), on which you can surf into bliss and Self.
