The heart is the seat of the soul where our eternal self resides.
The heart is also a place many of us protect,
Many open,
Many close,
And feel gets broken on occasion.
However you view the heart,
You've more than likely seen it as both a physical and symbolic part of yourself.
A place taken for granted,
A place to hold sacred,
And a place to listen to when it counts the most.
This is the space that acts as a bridge from our physical and earthly selves to our higher spiritual selves.
This energy center,
The Anahata Chakra,
Houses many things.
It's when we can allow ourselves to live from the heart that we can begin to ascend and become who we are meant to be.
Sit or lie down.
If you feel called to,
Place your hands over your heart to connect with this sacred space within yourself.
Draw the breath in and out through the heart space and begin to imagine love flowing into the chest.
The heart and heart chakra is a place for self-forgiveness.
Allow this space to offer solace and acceptance for all you've experienced and for all that you are in this moment in time.
Remove any obstacles around grief,
That which makes your heart heavy and aching.
Bring compassion to yourself with each breath you take and let that compassion begin to fill you up.
Imagine a green glowing light with a soft pink center within the chest and surrounding your heart.
And allow your heart to wrap its arms around you with pure love,
Holding you with kindness.
Sit and embrace this love and peaceful support all around you.
Each breath pouring more love within and washing away any dis-ease you may feel.
As you continue to focus on your breath,
Begin to pay attention to each exhale you release.
As you draw the breath and love into yourself as you inhale,
Now begin to imagine you are sending all of that love and compassion out as you exhale.
A vehicle for pure love and universal kindness.
Send that energy out to everyone you know.
Begin with friends and family.
Then extend that love to everyone in the world and all living beings on the planet.
Like a warm blanket,
Let that loving energy wash over all you meet.
And may you see them with the eyes of compassion and not judgment.
As you offer yourself the acceptance for all you've experienced and for who you are,
Extend the same to others.
Wish for the genuine happiness and success of others as you would for yourself.
Spend as much time as you would like surrounding yourself with this loving energy and carry it with you to shower others with the same.
Begin to connect with the deep,
Sacred space where your soul resides.
If you allow yourself to listen,
What does it say?
Can you feel that divine place within yourself that is more than just your physical body?
Fall into pure bliss as you feel the love and give your soul a peaceful place to dwell.
Mantras for the heart chakra.
I am love.
I allow myself to love and be loved.
I hold compassion within my heart.
May all living beings be happy and free.
I forgive myself.
The seat of my soul is sacred.
I listen to my soul speak.
Allow for a few more breaths to fill up that heart space.
Becoming aware once again of your connection to the floor and the earth beneath you.
Enclose your meditation with a cleansing breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Musings for your meditation today.
Imagine an entire world where everyone holds love,
Respect and compassion for one another.
What would that world look like?
What do you hold onto that makes your heart heavy?
What are some tools or options you have to begin to release that which binds your ability to love,
Be loved or show compassion to others?
How does it feel to offer yourself unconditional love for all that you are and acceptance and support for all you've experienced?
And could you connect with your soul space?
Were you able to observe when you gave permission to connect with and listen to that space?
Carry and share that love in your heart today and every day.
Namaste.
