Hello my love and welcome to this experience designed to turn on the electricity within the heart space.
So I want you first to just take a moment,
Whether you're seated,
Lying down,
Standing up,
To place one hand over the heart center.
And the other hand over that one,
Without really doing anything,
Just bringing your awareness.
To the heart center by physically touching it.
You're welcome to find a bit of movement.
It might feel really nice to just be still,
Whatever you need.
Take a moment to close down your eyes.
Relaxing the shoulders.
Relaxing the jaw.
Coming deeper inward now to the breath.
Just take a moment to feel your body breathe.
And just as you're breathing here and touching the center of your heart.
Knowing that this is an opportunity.
A practice to come back to time and time again.
Anytime in our lives that we need to reconnect to the heart center.
Any time in our lives when we feel like we're operating out of our minds only.
Any time that we need to remember and reconnect to what truly matters most to us.
And it's one thing to think about the heart.
It's another thing.
To go in to the heart.
And so I want you to think about first.
How your own house,
Your own home.
Has wires,
Has electricity running through it.
But in order to turn the lights on,
You must flip the switch.
And similarly,
Your heart center has the same technology.
There's electricity,
There's life force,
There's energy constantly flowing through the heart center.
The center of love.
And compassion.
The center of healing and forgiveness.
Center for Understanding.
There's electricity and energy flowing through this center at all times no matter what.
We just have to know when we need to remember to turn the light switch on.
To plug in to the heart center.
To activate that energy to activate.
That electricity.
Inviting ourselves to begin to operate.
And live and act.
And communicate.
Through this space.
I wonder what life would be like.
If we activated the heart center so much.
That we were also eventually thinking.
From this space.
Believing.
From this space.
When we understand that our thoughts create our beliefs and our beliefs create our reality,
Imagine a life.
Where you're literally thinking and believing from the heart center.
Imagine what that reality would be like.
Still breathing.
Naturally and effortlessly here.
But we will begin to animate the breath just a little bit more.
By deepening the inhale.
And lengthening the exhale.
Deepen the breath in.
Lengthen the breath out.
One more breath together,
Deeply inhale.
Completely exhale.
And I want you to begin to visualize right here and now your heart center.
You might even visualize it like an actual room or a color.
Place.
And I want you to visualize at the front of your heart,
A front door.
And at the back of your heart,
A back door.
Be in the shape of an actual rectangular door could be a circle could be more of a portal,
Does it matter just visualize a door in the front of the heart center.
And experience a door in the back of the heart center.
And it doesn't matter which.
But eventually I want you to experience and visualize one of the doors opening.
Maybe it starts by cracking open.
Maybe it's halfway open.
Maybe it swings open.
Not right or wrong,
Just visualize one of the doors opening.
You might even visualize the entire door just kind of flying off and away.
There's not even the possibility for it to close again.
And then when you're ready,
We'll visualize the other door opening.
Maybe this one slings open.
And maybe it eases its way open.
You And again,
Like the other door,
Maybe this one completely flies off its hinges.
So that it couldn't possibly close again.
And it's okay if it doesn't.
Let yourself be where you are today.
Now just allow yourself to be with now both the front and the back door open.
Hands are still over your heart center.
And just feeling into the space.
Keeping your eyes soft,
Your jaw relaxed,
The shoulders relaxed.
As you just begin to bring your fingertips now to the center of the heart and just start tapping like raindrops on the center of your heart.
And they don't have to be hard taps.
It's just gentle taps at the center of the heart with both hands.
And then you can move it around a little bit and you can start to tap,
Tap,
Tap all around the collarbones from shoulder to shoulder.
Over the breast,
Around the breast,
Down toward the ribcage and back up and just tap,
Tap,
Tapping,
Maybe even under the armpits,
The shoulders themselves.
Just tap,
Tap,
Tapping here.
You can reach up and back and tap,
Tap,
Tap.
The shoulder blades,
Just wherever you can reach on the back body as well.
Let it be what it is.
And just continue to tap here.
Still breathing in and out through the nose,
Tap,
Tap,
Tapping the entirety of the heart center,
The heart chakra,
Shoulders,
Collarbones,
Breastbones,
Top of the rib cage,
Shoulder blades.
If you find a spot that feels a bit tender,
You might stop there for a moment or pause there rather,
Just lightly tap it.
Maybe rub it a little bit and then come back to the tapping.
And then eventually.
.
.
You'll move your way to the left hand,
Tapping the right arm.
Our arms and hands are an extension of the heart chakra.
So you'll tap the right arm first and get the whole thing,
The bicep,
The tricep,
The part that jiggles,
The elbow,
The inner elbow,
The forearm,
The front and the back,
The wrist,
All the way to the right hand.
You'll tap,
Tap,
Tap the back of the hand,
The palm.
The fingers.
And then you'll bring the tapping back up the arm.
To the shoulder,
Back to the center of the heart,
And switch sides.
So now the right hand is doing the tapping.
You're moving it over toward the left shoulder.
Down the left arm,
Getting the bicep,
The tricep,
The part that jiggles.
The elbow,
The inside of the elbow.
The forearm,
Front and back.
The wrists.
The back of the hand,
The inside of the palm.
The fingers.
And eventually you'll carry the taps back up the left arm and back to the center of the chest where you tap,
Tap,
Tap with both hands now right at the center of the chest for five,
Tap,
Tap for four.
Breathing three.
Two.
And one,
Release the arms.
And again,
You can be standing up or sitting.
You can be lying down even now.
Take a deep inhale.
Fully exhale.
Feel the heart space activated as you deeply inhale.
Completely exhale.
Feel even more breath enter the heart center as you inhale.
And exhale,
Release any leftover stagnation.
And now I want you to bring your fingertips back to the heart center.
This time you're going to rake.
So I want you to think fingertips at the middle of the heart space and you're going to rake from the center of the heart out to the sides.
So toward your shoulders and you're just raking almost like you're splitting your heart center open in this beautiful and graceful way.
Just cleansing any stickiness.
Any stagnation and just raking it.
And eventually these rakes kind of turn into where you're raking from the center out to the shoulder and then you might even kind of flick any excess energy off your hands,
Just almost like you were getting your hands clean or dry after washing them.
So you'll rake from the center all the way out and then just flick off,
Wring out,
Shake off any excess,
Any dirt,
Any gunk,
Any stickiness.
Good,
And you can do this really slowly,
And you can also do this really quickly,
Whatever feels right to you.
And we'll just rake the heart center right here,
And now for five.
Still breathing.
For four.
For three,
Don't underestimate the power of the simplicity of this.
For two,
And one flick off the last little bit of gunk and once again you pause.
Taking a full breath in,
Fill up the heart center.
Completely breathe out.
Feel the whole heart center expand as you inhale 360 degrees.
And exhale fully release.
One more slow and deep inhale filling up 360 degrees in the heart center.
And exhale,
Let it all go.
Just pause for a moment wherever you are still.
Seated,
Lying down,
Standing.
To feel your heart center and just experience this sweet and sacred space.
Without feeling the need to name what you're feeling or to label it,
You're just feeling your heart center.
Just feeling the electricity.
Feeling the energy.
Without labeling it or trying to figure out what it is that you feel or should you be feeling something different you just.
Feel it.
In our lives,
If we want to genuinely follow our hearts,
Which the truth of all of us is,
When we remove the layers and the conditioning,
That is our deepest desire.
Our deepest desire as human beings,
Having this beautiful spiritual experience on planet is to follow the truth of the heart.
That is the path home.
That is the path home to who you are.
And why you're here.
But in order for us to follow the heart.
We have to know the heart.
We must be in communion with the heart center.
We must know how to turn on the electricity and open the portals of the heart center.
So that we can walk home,
So that we can follow the path.
And so with that in mind.
If you haven't already,
Go ahead and come into either a seat or come to stand up.
And we're just going to begin to move the heart now.
So I want you to imagine cat and cow pose in yoga if you've never done yoga before.
As you inhale,
You'll expand the heart and stick the chest out.
And as you exhale,
You'll contract and stick the shoulder blades out.
So it's just an inhale to puff up the chest.
And exhale round and puff up the back.
Inhale,
Extend the heart.
Exhale round it out so you'll just continue moving in this way and you might decide you want to add your arms so you inhale spread your wings out and exhale round the back maybe sweep your arms forward all the way into a hug And then you inhale,
Open the arms and the heart.
Exhale,
Round it out,
Maybe coming all the way into a hug and just continue exploring this energy on your own.
And for you today,
It might feel really slow and graceful as if you're a ballerina or like moving through water.
You might feel the need to pick it up and really activate some passionate energy in your heart.
And so you'll find more of the pace and the rhythm of an inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale.
And it can be a bit more fiery.
It's not right or wrong.
You can't do this incorrectly.
This is just you communing with your heart center,
Forming a deeper and more intimate relationship with the center of your being.
And just allowing yourself to continue on your own journey here.
Moving freely.
And this inhaling and exhaling,
This extension and contraction of the heart center,
I want you to start to feel almost like pulsations.
Like we're pumping.
Like we're really activating,
Even if it's slow and graceful.
And then your movement could continue just as it is,
Or you might start to find circles in the heart center.
And you're still following your breath,
But maybe now your chest and your shoulders,
Your heart space are moving in circles.
Good,
You're still breathing in and out fully and completely.
And feel free to give your arms and your hands freedom to move as well.
In any way that feels yummy or even interesting or maybe even a little bit weird and uncomfortable,
Like something you maybe would never do,
But let's just try it on today and see what happens.
And maybe swirling the arms around,
Moving the wrists around as you're circling.
You could also still just be going forward and back.
If you are circling,
Start to reverse the direction of the circles in the heart space.
It's still adding movement with the arms if you'd like.
So breathing out and breathing in,
Breathing in and breathing out wholly and fully.
And eventually.
We wiggle our way back to neutrality,
Back to center.
And we'll once again just pause and feel the heart space.
Without physically touching it with your hand this time,
Just allowing your body.
Be still.
As you deepen the inhale.
And lengthen the exhale.
Breathing in,
Fill up 360 degrees in your heart center.
And exhale,
Let it all go.
One more inhale,
Fill up 360 degrees in the heart center.
And exhale,
Let it all go.
And then eventually,
We're going to activate even more if you can believe it.
And so first I want you to,
Whether you're seated or standing,
Either is fine.
I want you to take a deep inhale and lift your shoulders up to your ears.
As you exhale,
Roll them back and down.
Two more times.
Inhale,
Lift the shoulders up.
Exhale,
Roll them back and down.
One more inhale,
Lift the shoulders up.
Exhale,
Roll back and down.
This time,
Inhale,
Lift the shoulders up to the ears.
Hold the breath in.
Activate your insides.
Pull the navel in and up.
Keep holding the breath.
Shoulders up.
Three,
Hold.
Two,
One.
Shrug and release.
Exhale.
Then inhale,
Lift.
Shrug and release.
Exhale.
Here we go a little faster.
In,
Out.
Up and down,
Up,
Down,
Up,
Down,
Up,
Down.
Inhale,
Exhale.
10,
Nine,
Eight,
Seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Big inhale,
Lift,
Hold the breath in.
And exhale,
Let it all go.
Pause to feel.
You might find a few head and neck circles here.
Relaxing the jaw,
Reverse the circles of the head and neck if you're taking them.
Feel free to stretch the mouth out,
Opening the mouth to really relax the jaw.
Maybe you stick your tongue out.
Sigh.
Feel your heart center.
Feel your heart space coming online.
Your heart,
The energy of love.
Compassion,
Healing,
Forgiveness.
Understanding.
You're activating.
All of this energy within you right now.
And now the last little bit.
I want you to start just shaking the hands.
Just shake shake shake the hands the arms the shoulders just bouncing the whole heart center hands arms shoulders chest just shake shake shake however you see fit it might be like a shimmy like you used to do in jazz class Just shaking,
Shaking.
Maybe it feels like you're getting something off your skin and like shaking a bug off of you or something.
Just shake,
Shake,
Shake,
Shimmy,
Shimmy,
Wiggle,
Jiggle the whole entire heart center.
This might even turn into some jumping.
So the rest of the body gets involved as well.
Doesn't matter.
Just really shaking up and vibrating the heart center and just continuing here.
Shake,
Shake,
Release and jiggle.
We're breathing.
Into the heart center and activating the heart center.
We're really turning it on now.
Remember,
It's the energy of love,
Compassion,
Healing,
Forgiveness,
Understanding.
We're bringing all of that online so that we can live our lives from this space,
From a space that makes us connected to unconditional love.
So that not only we're living and vibrating in love with our words and with our actions,
But also with our thoughts,
With our beliefs.
And we know that what we think is what we believe and what we believe is our reality.
So the more that we can turn on the heart center,
Keep shaking and jiggling,
The more that we can activate the space,
The easier it is to follow the heart.
The easier it is to make heart-centered living.
Our reality,
Love,
Compassion,
Healing,
Forgiveness,
Understanding,
Shake it to wake it,
Breathe five Breathe and shake,
Wiggle and jiggle for four.
Really turn on that electricity now for three.
Breathing too.
One slow it all down.
Slow it all down.
Until eventually you sway your way back through center,
Whether you're standing or seated.
Oh,
Come back to the breath.
And back to the breath.
Feel the heart center online.
Hmm.
Start to make some sound with the breath,
Specifically with the exhale.
And you can decide to hum it out.
To chant it out.
To moan it out,
To yell it out,
To scream it out,
Whatever you need,
But as you exhale,
Make noise now.
So as you are,
Just empty out all of your air.
Take a deep breath in,
Fill up completely,
360 degrees.
A verbal exhale to let it all go and feel that vibration as you make sound in the heart center.
And another deep inhale when you're ready,
Filling up 360 degrees.
A verbal exhale making sound or humming as you release and let it all go.
And one more deep inhale,
360 degrees,
Filling up the heart center.
Verbal exhale to let it all go.
From here,
You bring your left hand to your right shoulder.
And then your right hand to your left shoulder.
So you'll notice now you've just created a hug around the heart.
Around yourself.
But also where the arms are crossing now.
That's the axis point.
The entrance point to the center of the heart space.
And just take a moment to physically squeeze yourself.
To give yourself a great big hug.
To breathe into the embrace.
Deeply inhale.
Completely exhale.
Deeply inhale.
Completely exhale.
And from here,
You release the embrace and just open your arms out wide to the sides.
Feel the expression of the heart.
Take another deep inhale.
Stay expressed,
Just relax as you exhale.
Let the arms slowly drift down if you're seated into your lap,
If you're standing just alongside the body.
This time without touching the heart,
Because now you know where it is.
You know what it feels like.
Just bringing your awareness back to the center of the heart.
Coming back to this space.
May this day be guided and directed solely by the center of my heart.
May this day be guided and directed solely by the center of my heart.
May this day be guided and directed solely by the center of my heart.
Me my every thought,
Word,
And action.
May all of my beliefs.
.
.
Be governed and fueled.
By the truth of love.
May I radiate love,
The purest love,
The most unconditional love.
In all that I think.
In all that I believe.
And all that I say and all that I do.
May I radiate the frequency of love.
And now we really open ourselves up in prayer.
So you're welcome to bring your hands back over the heart.
Maybe you flip the palms open toward the sky as your act of reception.
Maybe the hands to prayer at the center of the heart.
Dear God,
Sweet universe,
All that is.
Please guide me.
Into the direction of my heart.
Please carry me deeper inward to the truth of my heart center.
And I am ready and willing on this day.
To release the smallness of my ego.
That's fueled by worry,
Fear,
Confusion and doubt and instead on this day I embrace the truth of my heart.
That is fueled by love.
Compassion.
Healing,
And forgiveness.
I am willing to share.
I am ready to change in any way,
Shape,
Or form.
So that my every thought,
Belief,
Word,
And action radiates the frequency of love.
Please help me,
Strengthen me,
And guide me So that I may follow my heart with my every choice,
Every decision I make.
May it come from the center of my heart space.
Show me the way.
And so it is.
Take your time to transition from this space to the rest of your day or whatever is waiting for you on the other side of this heart-centered experience.
But I do pray that the portals of your heart remain open.
We're continuing to follow the center of the heart and allow that to be our guiding force with our every thought,
Word,
Action,
Belief.
With every choice that we make,
With every step that we take.
May we be guided and directed solely by the truth of our hearts.
Sending you so much love now and always.
Namaste.
