Hi there...

Meditating aka quieting the mind so that you can connect with your higher self would be a good activity to start with. If you are interested in working with your chakras, you could meditate on them. When I was about your age, I came across some music by Stephen Halpern. He had put out an album called "Spectrum Suite". The album was a set of songs on different keys associated with each chakra. I would play the tape (that's how old I am), and as each song played visualize that chakra's color in my mind's eye for the length of the song. Someone has posted it to youtube, you can take a listen to see if it resonates with you.

And you might want to take a look at this old book (still in print) by Joseph Weed "Wisdom of the Mystic Masters". I still return to this book again and again, even after all this time.

How to open your chakras?

First, become aware of the seven major chakras from the root to the crown. Plenty of information online regarding their location. Become familiar with where they are and what they mean. For example, the solar plexus chakra relates to personality and personal power, while the throat chakra relates to self-expression.

Focus your attention on each chakra in turn, moving upwards from the root to the crown. How strong is the energy at each centre? Do any of them feel blocked?

There are various practices you can do to become more aware of the chakras and to move the energy. For example chakra dhyana, which has its origins in yoga. Or the microcosmic orbit which has its origins in Chinese practices. Again, lots of youtube videos on both.

Really it depends on how serious you are and how much time and energy you are willing to put into this.

Peace
