Welcome to this guided practice where we tune in to your heart chakra.
To begin,
We're going to do a little bit of reflexology.
And so I invite you to use your left hand,
Left is the side of the heart and the reflexology of the body.
And here we're going to find the heart reflex point.
So between the fourth and pinky finger,
And down just about an inch.
And so this is our heart point,
And so I just want you to do some small circles,
You can try and relax your hand,
Your hand doesn't have to be up in the air like this,
Just nice and relaxed.
And you can close your eyes.
Notice if it feels good to have a light pressure or a deeper pressure,
These small circles inviting our heart energy to open up,
The gateway of the heart to open that door.
And then you can pause and just hold with a little direct pressure there on the heart point,
Taking some deep breaths,
Noticing if you can feel a connection to your heart right now.
Simply observing whatever's arising within you,
Whatever you feel in your palm.
With each inhale,
We invite expansion.
With each exhale,
We invite release.
Inhaling,
Expanding the heart to the body,
Exhaling a sigh of release,
Letting it all go.
Beautiful.
So if ever you're having heavy emotions in your day,
Know that you have this point to go to,
To tend to your heart,
Help you with anxiety,
With worry,
With fear,
And just be here with your heart,
Give it a touch of love.
All right,
We are going to give a little love directly to the heart centers,
This is where the heart chakra is.
So placing your fingers in the center of your chest on the sternum,
Very gently at first,
And again,
Let's do these small circles,
Inviting your heart center to open,
Knowing that you are in a safe space now in this moment,
In the temple of your body,
Letting the heart peel back its layers,
Welcoming you into yourself.
You can apply a little bit more pressure and see if there are any tender spots.
If you find a little bit of tenderness,
Pause there,
Hold your fingertips on that spot as we gently invite your heart to soften,
Letting go of the shields of armor,
Of this rib cage of protection,
Feeling your breath and the movement of the ribs,
Can we let the ribs feel more liquid and fluid if they feel tense or rigid,
Simply observing this connection for you to your own heart,
Beautiful,
And we can sense the Reiki,
The energy from your heart,
So just hovering your hand in front of your chest,
Slowly moving back and forth,
You can close your eyes as you do this,
And we're sensing the point of resistance or friction,
A point where the sensation in your hand changes or the sensation in your heart reveals something to you,
Maybe it feels heavy,
Dense,
Strong,
Painful,
Finding that spot for you and with that relaxed hand just hovering it there,
And we're going to beam some loving universal light into your heart now through your palm chakra,
It's like your hand has a light,
A flashlight within it,
And it's carrying the light from the entire universe,
So a lot of light is beaming directly into your hand and lasering lovingly in,
Around,
And through your heart,
Helping you observe and sense the energy of your heart chakra,
Beautiful,
And I'm going to invite you to just rest your palms on your sides,
Closing your eyes,
And we'll let the light give you a massage now,
So with this open heart,
From the front side of your body,
You can visualize,
Sense,
Or feel this infinite field of love that fills the universe,
That creates form,
That creates matter.
That is constantly expanding,
Letting that light flow into your heart now,
Massaging and bringing light to every corner,
Every crevasse,
Every nook and cranny,
Washing it with this light,
Gently massaging your chest,
Relaxing your chest,
Relaxing your heart,
Bringing it to a greater sense of stillness,
Of ease,
Of rest,
And letting this come to the backside now of the heart,
So the middle back receiving this light of the universe,
Letting it fill your heart from the backside of the body.
Here's where we receive love from oneness,
From all,
Not just the individual love,
The greater love,
So opening your back chakra to the universe,
Receiving that divine loving support.
Feeling held,
Trusting that you are not alone,
Surrendering any tension into the earth.
Now we're going to release this visualization and simply place your awareness in your heart center.
Often our awareness feels like it's at the level of our eyes or within our brain.
We also have a heart consciousness,
So by bringing your awareness there,
It may feel like I am aware of the physical sensations in my chest,
In my heart,
I am aware of the emotions here,
That this space holds and carries,
I'm aware of the past,
That my heart may also choose to carry forward into my present and future.
Simply being aware for you,
Whatever is here in your heart center,
If it is a sensation,
A knowing,
A feeling,
A message,
Just be here now with your heart,
Just tending to it like a child or best friend,
Lovingly,
Enthusiastically,
Listening to your heart.
Whatever arises,
This is a space of non-judgment,
True,
Unconditional love means.
There are no exceptions,
There are no conditions in which love is not held here.
Hold yourself fully in love with whatever is here.
Whatever arises in your heart,
Be the eyes of love that gaze upon it,
Being with it in the field of love.
We do not need to change anything here or consciously try to heal it,
Simply by being aware,
We are giving it the space it needs to unfold,
Unfurl,
Unbound itself,
Release in its own divine time,
All we need to do is be here with it.
Letting go of the need to understand,
To calculate or figure anything out,
And trust that being in a space of love is enough,
Is all that's needed.
To hold ourself in that sanctuary of love,
Noticing how your heart is responding,
Whatever is arising or speaking,
Giving it full permission and allowing,
As long as you can hold this safe space of love.
And if ever we can't hold that safe space of love,
That's okay,
Then we need to tend to ourselves until we can.
Asking your heart,
My dear heart,
Is there anything you need to share with me at this time?
Any message I need to receive so that I can tend to you and support you?
Staying out of the head and remaining in the heart,
Notice what arises,
Trusting whatever has come through for you.
As you reflect on the love that you give to yourself,
On the love that you receive for yourself,
Your relationship to self,
Notice what arises here.
Are you being so loving and kind to yourself?
Or have you been harsh,
Critical,
Maybe even mean at times?
Be that quality of loving kindness to yourself right now that you wish to hold yourself in and accountable for every day.
Let this be the standard,
The baseline of love for which you embody for which your mind is responsible to listen to and follow through its thoughts and words.
Now,
What about your relationship to others?
Of course,
We have dynamic relationships full of love and some full of resistance or fear.
What is your baseline,
The quality of love that you want to hold yourself accountable for in all relationships?
What quality of love do you want to show up holding within your heart space?
Emanating from your being no matter who or what is in front of you,
Who is within you is what really matters.
What quality of love do you want to radiate?
Do you want to shine?
Feel that within you now.
How are you at receiving love?
Receiving support and help when it's offered to you?
Maybe guidance and wisdom?
Let this backside of your body relax.
You lean into your support.
Lean into the love constantly flowing to you from the universe,
From loved ones,
From nature.
You are not alone.
Love to give.
So when we resist the act of giving from someone else we're shutting love down.
We're not letting it flow freely.
Can you be an open receiver allowing others to receive their joy as they give love to you?
And knowing your worthiness in receiving it.
Beautiful.
I would love for you to bring up one loving memory from your past.
It can be small or large.
I love thinking of connecting with a dog and petting it and feeling this endless love in that moment.
See what arises for you.
What happy loving memory.
And what hopeful moment of love do you wish for in your future?
Maybe it's in relationship to another.
Maybe it's in relationship to yourself.
Envision and sense that as if it's happening right now.
In your heart that moment of love has come to fruition.
And finally arriving in this present moment here and now calling on the love within you sensing it deep within the heart.
Maybe the light is small like the flickering flame of a candle.
Maybe it's big like a bonfire or the sun.
No judgment where that love is at.
Simply have your awareness on it and let it grow with each inhale just like oxygen feeds the flames,
It feeds the love.
With each exhale it expands gently,
Softly letting go of this focus awareness of the heart and extending your view to your whole body now in this temple of love.
Letting that heart shine into your whole body letting the love move through every part of you touching your organs your bones,
Your blood your brain your fingertips your pelvis your toes grounding this love in your body feeling that quality of softness of allowing whenever you're ready you can open your eyes sensing the love within you still Thank you so much for joining May love shine through your day
