4 Minute Heart Check-In

In this micro-practice, we will pause exactly where you are to gently drop our awareness into the heart space. Using a soothing somatic hand placement and permission-based cues, we will invite the protective armor around your chest to soften, even just five percent. A quick, potent reset to release emotional tension, connect with your felt sense, and remind your body that it is safe to breathe, soften, and be held in this exact moment.

Hi and welcome to this heart check-in. Finding yourself in a comfortable position. And see if you can notice the rhythm of your breath. Follow it right at the beginning at your nostrils. Let your awareness trickle down into the heart. And feel if there is any protection around your heart. Safely stored behind your ribcage. That holds your heart safe and secure. Notice the gentle movement of your chest as you breathe. Place a hand or both hands on your heart if that feels comfortable for you and accessible for you. And see if you can notice the rhythm of your heart. Beating. The soft pulse. Take a soft inhale into your heart space. Exhale anything you'd like to release here. Inhale to the heart. Exhale out. Ask your heart the question what it truly longs for in this moment. And whatever answer arises through whichever way. See if you can draw it in with the breath and bring it to your heart. Dear heart, What would make you feel safe and nourished in this moment? Inhale. Let your heart drink in this healing. And exhale fully let go. Bring your awareness back to the physical. Rising and falling of your chest. Rhythm of your breath and your heart together. Whenever you feel ready, Gently blink open your eyes. And fully come back into your space. I send you and your heart my love. An overflow of love. Thank you for meditating with me.
