Welcome.
This is your journey into your heart chakra,
Anahata,
The center of compassion,
Balance and unconditional love.
Here love flows freely,
Giving and receiving become one rhythm.
Your heart is the bridge between body and spirit,
Earth and sky,
Self and other.
Take a soft steady breath in through your nose and a long gentle exhale.
Just allow yourself to settle into the warmth of your own presence.
Let this sanctuary be of softness.
The heart has its own language.
The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.
A beautiful quote by Rumi.
And just let that line echo through you.
Your heart always knows the way,
Even when your mind does not.
So affirm quietly to yourself,
I open my heart to life.
Love flows freely through me.
And just let those words echo through your heart.
Now settle into your comfy space,
Warm and cozy.
Softly close your eyes and just feel your body soften.
Shoulders and neck release.
Back,
Chest,
Arms,
Hands,
Fingers,
Letting go.
Belly,
Hips,
Legs,
Feet,
Toes.
Just let them rest.
And now just begin to bring your awareness into the center of your chest.
Just breathe as though you could draw air directly into your heart space.
Inhale,
Feel your chest expand softly.
And exhale,
Releasing tension,
Fear,
Stress.
And with each breath,
Just imagine there is a soft emerald green light.
It's beginning to glow in your heart chakra.
And this is the color of your heart chakra.
Anahata.
The color of balance,
Peace,
And renewal.
With each inhale you take,
This brightens the light.
And with each exhale you spread it outward into your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your hands.
This green emerald light is flowing outward so that everything you touch is touched with love.
Affirm with your breath.
I am safe to love and be loved.
I give and receive with ease.
Breathe those words deep into your being.
Beautiful.
So your heart chakra radiates qualities that really can heal and uplift all life.
It's the chakra associated with compassion,
Forgiveness,
Kindness,
Empathy,
Gratitude,
Harmony,
And love.
So when it is balanced,
The heart is open yet protected.
Soft yet strong.
It doesn't close when wounded.
It lands,
Forgives,
And continues to love.
So affirm gently.
I am love in motion.
My compassion is my strength.
Let these beautiful truths ripple through your energy field,
Balancing the dance between giving and receiving.
Now visualize yourself standing before a vast garden of light.
This is your sacred heart garden.
It's a living reflection of your emotional energy.
The air feels warm,
Fragrant,
And filled with birdsong.
Everything here glows with shades of green,
Pink,
And gold.
You walk barefoot along a path of soft moss,
And each step you take opens your heart a little more.
Every breath feels like a gentle act of forgiveness.
Now ahead of you,
A tree stands at the center of your garden.
It's tall and radiant.
Its roots reach deep into the earth,
And its branches stretch towards the sky.
Its trunk glues with a golden green light.
This is the tree of compassion.
It's the living symbol of your heart chakra.
You place a hand upon its trunk and feel a pulse,
The heartbeat of the earth.
Steady,
Strong,
Eternal.
As you breathe,
You feel your heart synchronize with that pulse.
Your breath and the tree's rhythm become one.
Your light mingles with its light.
Affirm softly now,
My heart beats in harmony with all of life.
Now the tree begins to shimmer.
From its leaves fall petals of light.
Each one is a blessing.
They land on your skin,
Dissolving into warmth and peace.
One petal glows brighter than the rest.
You reach out and catch it,
And inside it is a symbol.
Perhaps it's a rose,
A dove,
An infinity sign,
Or a key.
Whatever you see,
It carries meaning for your journey of love and healing.
Bring this symbol into your heart and let it merge with your green emerald light.
Let it become part of your energy forever.
Let's affirm now,
Love is my true essence.
My heart is open and free.
Now simply rest here,
Breathing with the tree and surrounded by the garden of your soul.
Feel your heart gently expand beyond your body.
And just imagine its light connecting with the hearts of others,
Family,
Friends,
All beings you love.
Send them light,
No words,
Just radiant,
Unconditional compassion.
Affirm quietly as you breathe,
May all hearts be healed.
May I meet the world with love.
I am love,
And I am loved.
Now begin to draw that beautiful light gently back into your own body.
It's like a wave returning to the sea,
And it settles peacefully in your chest.
It's a glowing heart of green and gold.
So take one deep,
Slow breath and whisper inwardly,
Thank you heart for your wisdom and your endless grace.
Now as your heart grows brighter,
We'll awaken it further through sound.
It's the sacred vibration of your heart chakra.
And the seed mantra for Anahata is yam.
It's pronounced Y-A-H-M,
Yam.
It's the sound of love,
Balance and emotional release.
And this vibration softens resistance and restores harmony.
So let's do this together,
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Just let the sound flow gently from your heart,
Yam.
Feel the resonance in your chest as though the sound itself were opening invisible doors.
So once more,
Inhale.
And yam.
And yam.
Each vibration will expand your heart chakra space,
Clearing,
Balancing and freeing.
So continue in your own time now,
And if you would like to affirm softly between chants,
Inhale.
With each breath I open to love,
Exhale,
Yam.
Inhale,
With each sound I heal,
Exhale,
Yam.
And yam.
One final round in your own time,
Inhale.
Beautiful,
Let's do one more round together now.
Deep inhale,
Yam.
And yam.
Let the sound fade into silence,
But keep its echo and vibration alive inside your beautiful heart.
Slowly bring your awareness back to your physical body.
Feel your breath move through your ribs,
The ground beneath you,
The rhythm of life pulsing in your chest.
Carry this feeling of love and balance into your day.
Now gently come back to your physical surroundings.
Roll your shoulders if that feels good and gently stretch,
Slowly open your eyes.
And remember as Rumi said,
Your task is not to seek for love,
But merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that are built against it.
Let these words from Rumi settle as a final whisper of truth.
Affirm softly one last time,
I live with an open and loving heart.
And so it is.
Namaste,
My friend.
