DING DING The Heart Chakra or Anahata in Sanskrit is our energy point for love and compassion.
It is where the physical and spiritual come together.
It is our link to love and our higher self.
By meditating on the Heart Chakra,
We are bringing our awareness not only to personal and physical forms of love,
But universal love and the acceptance of the true self.
The Heart Chakra embraces all facets of love.
Anyone can benefit from exploring this energy center.
Opening and balancing your Heart Chakra allows past grievances to be released and allows you to open yourself up to love,
Forgiveness,
Kindness and compassion.
When the Heart Chakra is out of balance or closed,
You tend to feel anger,
Grief or hatred.
Learning how to open the Heart Chakra can be a beautiful experience and a great way to start on the path to healing and self-love.
Now remember,
When you meditate,
It's okay to have thoughts.
They will come.
Welcome them.
Meditation should not be a strain.
Don't try too hard.
Just bring your gentle,
Non-judgmental attention back to this meditation when you find your thoughts have taken you somewhere else.
Let go of expectations.
You have come to your chair or cushion.
Let yourself settle into this practice to benefit from this time of calm and silence.
Once you begin this meditation,
Stick with it until the end.
Close your eyes or kept them halfway with a soft and focused gaze.
Bring your awareness to the breath.
Notice the rise and fall of the chest,
The natural rhythm of breathing.
Sit with the breath for a few moments.
If you find your thoughts wandering,
Gently come back to this Heart Chakra meditation.
Thoughts are okay.
Let them come.
Welcome them.
Gently let them go by coming back to this meditation.
Be kind to yourself.
Now,
I want you to bring your attention to the heart,
The area in the center of your chest.
A tiny green light spins there.
This light is unconditional love.
On your next inhale,
Grow this light to the size of your heart.
This green light fills your heart.
And on your next exhale,
Breathe out this light into the space around you,
Filling it with unconditional love.
This light grows to surround your entire body.
On your next inhale,
Focus on this light of love.
As it fills your heart and your chest,
It infuses your whole being with the light of compassion,
Empathy and connection.
Continue to breathe in and out with this green light in and all around you for several breaths.
As you do this,
Notice how your self-love increases.
Your love for others increases.
Your appreciation for all that is good infuses you with more loving energy.
Through this green light,
You see the world as a beautiful place and you see the beauty within yourself.
The green light still surrounds you.
All the areas in and around the heart are full with this beautiful green light.
Each breath you take is love.
Now you can repeat each of the following affirmations silently or aloud.
I am connected to others and to the earth.
I am love.
I give love and receive love.
My heart is open.
I feel grateful.
I love myself and others.
I see beauty in all people and all around me.
I am compassionate.
I feel profound joy in my life.
I accept myself just as I am.
I am surrounded by love.
As you breathe,
Streams of the beautiful green light of love weave in and around your heart,
In the space around you,
And it grows to surround your home,
Your neighbourhood,
Your city,
Your province,
Your country,
The world,
The universe,
And all that is.
As we near the end of this meditation,
Keep your eyes closed.
It's important to come out of meditation slowly.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Allow yourself to feel the in and out rhythm of the rise and fall of your breath.
On your next inhale,
Allow the fingers and toes to wiggle if you wish.
Gently shift your arms or legs as needed.
And when you are ready,
You can slowly start to flatter your eyes open.
Keep your focus inward.
When you are ready,
You can return to your day.
When you are ready,
You can return to your place.
When you are ready,
You can return to your place.
When you are ready,
You can return to your place.
When you are ready,
You can return to your place.
