In Sanskrit,
Anahata means unhurt,
Unstruck and unbeaten.
It is the fourth primary chakra and serves as our center for ourself and for others.
Compassion,
Empathy and forgiveness.
The Anahata chakra is associated with unconditional love and joy.
It is the source of deep and profound truths that cannot be expressed in words.
Anahata is a bridge between the lower and upper chakras,
Integrating the manifest with the spiritual.
Anahata is associated with the element of air.
Air disperses and integrates spiritual understanding of love,
Compassion and connection to everything you encounter.
An air like love is within and around us.
We can embody this element by keeping our heart center open and our love free flowing.
The color of this chakra is associated with the color green,
Which represents transformation and love energy.
I invite you now to find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.
Just be with your body and breathe.
I invite you to close your eyes or bring your gaze low until a crease of light shines through.
Spread your collarbones wide,
Opening up the space that holds your heart.
If it's comfortable for you,
You can bring one hand to your heart and the other on top of your belly.
Bring your awareness to the space that surrounds your heart.
Notice the space rise and fall with your breath.
As you inhale,
Feel your belly expand and fill your lungs with fresh air.
And as you exhale,
Feel your belly contract,
Emptying out,
Creating space for new awareness.
Now imagine you're breathing in a large emerald light through your nostrils,
Settling down and into your heart space.
It brings with it warmth,
Making the entire upper body feel cozy,
Feel toasty.
As you breathe,
Allow this light and warmth to grow,
Feeling warmer.
Only by opening our hearts can we allow love to come in.
If you have felt pain,
Perhaps a broken heart,
You've opened yourself up enough to expose yourself to vulnerability.
This is a courageous move.
By doing so,
You can extend light onto those who need love.
Take a moment here to call to mind someone,
Someone whom you love.
Bring their faces very clearly into your mind's eye.
Now allow love to radiate from your heart space out and into this person.
Now call to someone that you have a tough relationship with.
Bring them to your mind.
Bring their face very clearly into your mind's eye.
Now allow love to radiate from your heart space out and into this person.
Breathing in slowly,
You can do it.
Now call to mind yourself.
Picture yourself here in this room.
Bring your face very clearly into your mind's eye.
Now using all of this love,
Compassion and openness cultivated here in this space,
Begin to wrap yourself up in love,
Sending it out from this space that holds your heart.
Now either silently to yourself or out loud,
Just repeat after me.
Inhaling,
I am worthy of love.
I am loving to others and to myself.
There is an infinite supply of love.
I live in balance with others.
I forgive myself.
I also forgive others.
Love is my guiding truth in life and I give and receive love effortlessly and unconditionally.
I live in balance in a state of gracefulness and gratitude.
I accept things as they are.
I am peaceful.
I choose to be united with all beings visible and invisible in the realm of love and light.
Breathing here,
Letting this settle.
Just take a moment in silence to rest in this embodied awareness.
Breathing here.
Just breathing Just feeling As we end this meditation,
Take a moment to express gratitude toward yourself for taking time to cultivate this practice.
Know that today you have done very powerful work in cleansing,
Healing,
And activating your heart chakra.
You can slowly open your eyes.
Begin to move your hands and feet.
Let yourself reconnect to your surroundings as we finish this meditation.
Namaste you you you you
