Heart Space Connection

In this session we practiced 'Heart Space Connection' followed by 10 minutes of silence. Start with your hand upon the hear space.
Visualizing it as a light, flame, or energy (whatever color manifests). Allow yourself to embody, embrace, and become the heart space. We often feel like 'we' are located in the head, that consciousness sits somewhere behind the eyes. But with this practice we can explore shifting that center, allowing for softening and release.
