Heart Breathing - Pause And Connect With Love

This mindfulness practice is ideal for any time you want to connect more deeply with the energy of love. Connecting with love helps us to move away from anxiety and fear, so that we act from and cultivate love and trust in our relationships.

Sit somewhere quiet - or if you can, lie down - visualise and feel the warm glow of love from within your heart, sending it throughout your body and out into the space around you to nurture self-love, self-compassion and feelings of love for others. Relax into the warm glow of love.

This practice is useful whenever you want to increase the flow of love that you bring into your relationships.

Transcript

This mindfulness practice is ideally suited to a time when you can lie down,

Although it can also be done in a seated position.

It will take up to five minutes.

Lie down on your back in a comfortable position,

Close your eyes and relax.

Open your belly and take a slow breath in and a long breath out.

Notice the gentle rise and fall of your belly as you breathe.

Now bring attention to your nostrils,

Notice the breath as it goes in and out.

Now with your imagination,

Follow your breath as it travels in and out of your body.

Notice your breath finding its way to your heart.

Follow the path of your breath to the center of your heart and find a small warm light glowing at its core.

As each in-breath reaches the center of your heart,

Watch that light glow brighter and brighter as if you were blowing on an ember.

As you breathe out,

Watch the light spread from the center of your heart in all directions.

Allow the light to glow brighter each time you breathe in.

With each out-breath,

Transport the light beyond your heart in all directions so that it spreads across your body,

Soothing and relaxing each part of your body as it spreads.

Feel the warm light move across your chest and into your shoulders,

Up your neck and into your head.

Follow the glow down your back and arms all the way to your fingertips.

As the light spreads,

Notice the warmth bathing those areas like a soothing balm,

Each part of you feeling soft and relaxed.

With your next few out-breaths,

Watch the light pour from your heart to your belly,

Your hips,

Down your legs and all the way to your feet and toes.

Now extending the scope of this warm light beyond your body and into the room where you are,

Imagining that this warm light is flowing from you out into the room and then to all the rooms,

Filling the space with light and warmth and energy.

Imagining that this energy includes and warms all who share the space with you.

Imagining their faces and beyond them,

The faces of all you love and care for.

Your whole body is relaxed and glowing from within,

Bask in this warm light and relax.

You may choose to stay here for a while or gradually bring your attention back into the room.

When you are ready,

Bring your attention back to your breathing,

Breathing in and out.

Beginning to wiggle your fingers and toes as you come back into the room.

You are now ready to continue your day.
