Moving Into The Heart

Moving Into Your Heart is a short meditation to bring you back to your heart. Training our nervous systems daily with heart-centered breathing and tapping into an elevated emotion empowers you to respond rather than react from habitual patterns. Use this meditation to reset after an upset, or to move into your heart to prepare for your day, a meeting, or anytime you need to come back to center. Heart coherence, like a muscle, is a skill that develops through practice and repetition. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the Moving Into the Heart Meditation.

The intention of this meditation is to bring you back to your heart center and into heart coherence.

By practicing heart-centered breathing for just a few minutes,

Several times a day,

You will begin to feel the benefits of heart coherence.

As you continue to practice,

You will be able to do this anywhere,

Anytime you need,

And even with your eyes open,

And you'll be able to stay in your heart for more of the day.

To help turn this into a daily habit,

You might pick a daily routine like brushing your teeth or washing your hands and pair it with your heart-centered breathing.

So let's begin.

Find a comfortable position.

This can be seated in a chair or lying down.

Close your eyes.

Now bring your awareness to your breath.

Begin to slow your breath down.

And now on your next inhale,

Bring your awareness to the area of your heart center in the center of your chest.

Just focus your attention there and begin to breathe right into your heart center,

A little slower and a little deeper than normal.

Feel the breath.

Surely feel your breath moving in and out of your heart center,

Slowing down your breath and deepening your breath and keeping a comfortable pace.

And on your next inhale,

Begin to connect with an elevated emotion.

It could be gratitude or love.

Or if that feels like too big a stretch for you right now,

You can start with calm or even neutral.

And then you can shift to something more elevated like gratitude,

Compassion or love.

If it's helpful,

You can bring to mind a person,

A pet or a place that you love.

The key is to not just think about the elevated emotion,

But truly feel this emotion.

Feel this elevated emotion,

Filling your heart and expanding from your heart to the rest of you.

Feel and sense this elevated emotion.

Really experience how this emotion feels in your body,

In your heart.

Keep focusing on your breath a little deeper,

A little slower than normal.

Stay connected to the elevated emotion,

Focusing on your heart center and that emotion.

Stay there for another moment.

And when you're ready,

Slowly bring your awareness back to the room you're in.

Begin to open your eyes,

Keeping a soft gaze and check in with yourself and notice how you were feeling now.

How are you feeling compared to when you first started?

And notice if there's a shift and notice what you notice.
