This is a Heart Chakra guided meditation.
The Anahata Chakra is the fourth chakra and it is our seat of unconditional love,
Compassion and forgiveness.
The element for this chakra is air.
Like air,
Love is everywhere.
It is all pervasive.
We just need to be open to seeing it.
Find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down.
Gently invite the eyes to close,
The mind to settle and the body to relax.
As you begin to find stillness,
Bring your awareness to your breath,
Noticing the gentle rise and fall of your inhales and exhales.
As you follow your natural breath,
Allow your shoulders to gently fall away from your ears,
Softly resting down your back.
Feel your collarbones wide and heart open.
Take a few moments here to connect to your breath,
Following its natural rhythm in and out of the body.
We will begin to bring more length and depth to the breath,
Inhaling on a count of four,
Holding for a count of two and exhaling for a count of four.
Take a big breath in through your nose,
Open the mouth and let it go.
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
Hold two,
Exhale two,

Gently release the control over the breath,
Allowing it to return to its natural rhythm.
Begin to visualize a bright emerald green glow right at the center of your chest,
At the location of the spiritual heart.
See this bright green glow illuminating your chest from shoulder to shoulder.
Keep this green glow in your mind's eye as we begin to go through a few affirmations together.
You may choose to repeat them silently or out loud to yourself,
Or simply focus all of your attention inward.
If you'd like,
You may visualize planting these affirmations like seeds in the fertile,
Loving,
Supportive soil of your heart,
Placing them with care in the emerald glow radiating from heart center.
I open my heart to all goodness.
I look for the joy in myself and see it in all things.
I am worth loving.
There is love all around me.
I forgive past hurt with ease and grace.
I am love.
I am peace.
I am light.
Now that you have planted a garden of loving thoughts in the mind and heart,
I invite you to set an intention.
You may wish to set an intention for connection,
Spiritual expansion,
Or mindfulness.
Perhaps you will set an intention of bliss,
Inner peace,
Forgiveness,
Or love.
Set this intention in the emerald glow at the center of your heart.
As you breathe in,
See this light becoming brighter,
More full of love,
Energizing your intention.
As you breathe out,
This green love energy radiates outwards through your entire body,
Filling every cell in your body with unconditional love,
Compassion,
And the power of your intention.
Allow this green glow to extend past your body now to the space around you,
To fill the room,
The building you are in,
With each breath spreading farther out to your community,
The city,
The state,
The country you are in,
Eventually reaching out to encompass the entire planet.
This loving and healing green light carries your intention with it.
Send it out now to those who need it most in our world.
Now,
Gradually begin to visualize that green love light coming back to you.
Gradually getting smaller until it is just encompassing your body,
Bringing back all the love,
Forgiveness,
And compassion that you have sent out,
Bringing your intention back into your heart.
See as the light gradually grows smaller,
Moving back up through your arms and legs until it is just a small sphere right at the center of your heart,
Rooting your intention deep within you.
Take a moment here to enjoy and feel gratitude for the way that you feel right now.
Know that you can always come back to this place at any time and is always within you.
Namaste.
