Chakra Focus 4: A Posture For Strength And Confidence

As you listen, you may experience a gentle opening through the front of the body as the heart space softens and expands. Cobra pose can evoke a feeling of uplift and spaciousness in the chest, often accompanied by a sense of emotional release or ease. Bringing awareness to the heart chakra may cultivate warmth, compassion and a deeper connection to yourself. Repeating the affirmation can leave you feeling open, supported and more receptive to love and self-acceptance.

Today's chakra practice is Anahata at the heart centre. It's colour is green, The colour of balance, Compassion and renewal. Lie on your belly and come into a gentle Cobra, Bhujangasana. Press lightly through the hands, Use the strength of the back to gently lift the chest. Roll the shoulders down away from the ears, Pull the elbows in. You don't have to come high, Just enough to feel some space in the heart area. The heart chakra sits between effort and surrender. Notice how the breath moves across the chest, In through the chest and around the collarbones. Avoid pushing for height, Instead allow the openness to come from gentle, Compassionate awareness. Visualise a soft green light spreading across the heart space, Steady and calm. Let the shoulders soften and the jaw release. Silently repeat the mantra, My heart is open and steady. My heart is open and steady. My heart is open and steady. Lower down slowly, Perhaps rest the head on the backs of the hands, Maybe rock the hips. Stay here for as long as you need to, Allowing any effects to linger. Enjoy the rest of your day.
