Greetings,
Friends,
And welcome to this beautiful meditation around the heart chakra.
In this practice today,
We will draw in elements and energy of a theme of green.
Now the heart chakra is often represented as being the color green.
We'll draw on elements of green witch magic,
So a little bit of connection with the natural world,
All through the medium of a beautiful yoga nidra practice.
But before we think about any of that,
I'll invite you to settle into a place of rest,
Make yourself comfortable and warm.
Begin to let the body relax and allow your eyes to close.
Throughout this practice,
As we draw our focus inwards towards the heart,
Feel free at any time to place or rest your hands upon your heart if that feels comfortable for you.
Allow yourself to take deep,
Easeful breaths.
Letting this area of the lungs and ribs to expand and rise with the inhale and fall with the exhale.
Along with this rhythm of the breath,
Somewhere within that space within your chest is also your heart,
A gentle beating rhythm.
So two gentle rhythms work in harmony,
The breath and the beat of the heart.
Just allow these rhythms to be your focus as you begin to let go of busy thoughts of the day,
Begin to let go of tensions or tightness within the body.
Allow yourself to focus inwards.
Let the outside world fall away.
As we relax and feel restful in this place,
We will begin to bring our awareness to our heart center,
Anahata,
Our heart chakra.
This chakra is often represented as a beautiful green light and also as a lotus flower with two interlocking triangles.
Now this image represents the fact that the heart is the meeting point,
The meeting point between all the chakras below the heart,
All the ones that connect us to the earth,
Our root chakra and sacral chakra.
And then above the heart we move up into the realms of connection with the universe,
Our crown chakra and third eye chakra.
So between the universe and the heavens and the earth is us and at the center of us is our heart.
In this beautiful heart chakra,
It glows gently with a green light.
You may imagine that light within your heart now.
As you draw your energy and attention inwards towards this lovely green light of the heart space,
The light begins to grow and glow a little brighter.
The light shines out from your heart space over your shoulders and arms and all the way to your fingertips,
Through your tummy,
Hips and legs to the tips of your toes and shines up through your neck and face to the top of your head.
You are filled with this beautiful green light,
The light of your heart chakra,
The light of love.
And as you continue to bring your energy,
Your attention to this light,
As you nurture this light of love,
Your body is so full with this green light that it begins to shine out from you like a beautiful glow,
An aura.
You are surrounded with green light.
And fully immersed in this green light,
There is a shift,
A transformation of green light into green space.
And you find yourself in your mind's eye in a beautiful green space,
A place of nature,
Nurture and nourishment.
Perhaps beneath you,
You are resting on soft green grass and beautiful lush trees and ferns sway in the breezes around you.
This sanctuary is the garden of your heart,
Trees and flowers grown with love,
Compassion and patience.
Allow yourself to rest fully in this special place,
A place where love blooms and grows.
You are filled with this beautiful green light,
The light of your heart chakra,
The light of yourself around.
ν You You You Feel nourished and comforted in this beautiful place As the time comes however to leave Once more the green space around you begins to draw inwards Transforming once more to a green light a green glow around you Drawing back within your body back Into that little heart chakra your heart center Which may be a small space but encapsulates everything you have experienced here The love of your body and the beautiful space you can rest within Is all within your heart When you feel ready to do so you can gently wiggle fingers and toes maybe stretch and move as you bring your awareness back to your body Take some nice deep breaths and whenever you feel ready we'll gently open the eyes and Get ready to move on with our day or evening With love and light Namaste You You You
