Yoga Nidra For Heart Chakra

This is a yoga nidra for your heart chakra, or anahata, the fourth chakra located in your heart center. It’s the bridge between your 3 lower chakras, root, sacral and solar plexus, and your 3 upper chakras, throat, third eye, and crown. This chakra directly affects the heart, chest, lungs, arms and hands. It’s associated with the air element and is home to unconditional love, empathy, trust, forgiveness, compassion and joy. A blocked heart chakra can leave you feeling unworthy, easily jealous, overly defensive, feeling like a victim, and having a difficult time trusting others and yourself. You might also notice physical symptoms in the body such as respiratory issues, poor circulation, or high or low blood pressure.  Sink deep into relaxation as you're guided through breath awareness, a body scan, and a visualization to cultivate peace, love, joy, trust and compassion for yourself and others. Namaste.

weight of your body Laying still The weight of your blood flowing through your veins Laying still The weight of your blanket Close against your skin As I move through the steps of bringing your awareness back to this moment Know that if you prefer to simmer in this loving joyful energy you've created within You can now remove your headphones or press pause on this recording It's time to ever so slowly and lovingly wake the body This is something to be done with ease and deep respect for the energy you've created and lingered in Please do not rush this process Let your body come back to full awareness gently and in its own time You might begin to slightly deepen your breathing Listen within Let your body tell you what it requires right now Does it feel like a stretch? Perhaps your head wants to move slowly from side to side Maybe your body would like to roll onto one side and lay for a little while longer It's all good Be mindful And let your body move intuitively for the next few moments All you have to do is listen and respond with love My name is Amanda and it has been my absolute honor to guide you through this yoga nidra today There will be new yoga nidra recordings coming soon for each of the three remaining chakras Please subscribe and follow so you don't miss any of them As always, Please leave a comment letting me know if you benefited from this practice It brings me so much joy to hear from you May you move through the day feeling a deep sense of unconditional peace Love Joy Trust And compassion For yourself And for others Namaste
