The heart chakra is the area that connects your energy to your center and gives you the ability to love and get love. If you have been emotionally wounded throughout your life, you have energy that has impacted you and you have learned how to manage your heart energy.
Even if you are an adult and you have learned to have love, you need to energize your heart chakra to expand your ability to give and receive love. This is a healing gift for all of us. Here are some ways to do this.
Push-Ups
If you think I am not being serious, I am. Even though I don’t like push-ups either, doing three or four of them can help you to focus on the center movement of your heart and can help you to get back to the connection with your planet. Straighten your body and with your weight on your arms, take a deep breath, exhale and then when you breath back in, bend your elbows and lower yourself as far as you can. You don’t have to go far, but while you do it, focus on your heart area and imagine a green light coming into your chakra from the center of the earth.
Hug
Give yourself love and appreciation. This can add to your heart chakra. Tell yourself that you love you and that you appreciate yourself. Give yourself a big hug and know that you are really appreciated.
Up to the Heavens
Everyday, stretch your arms up to the sky like you are lifting your whole body to heaven. Take a deep breath and say, “I open my heart up to the Divine Power.” Di this even when you feel too much ego or if you don’t feel like you can surrender your heart. This is important so that you can let love come through.
Breath in Your Heart
Use conscious breathing so that you can notice how deep your awareness is. This can help you to know what your heart is feeling. Take a deep breath and close your eyes and mediate. Imagine energy going downward each time you take a breath in and bring it in from the heart space. Imagine the energy coming form heaven into your heart. Imagine the color green and white or golden. With each breath, let your heart take in the energy. Exhale through the entire being.
Heart Chant
Do a chant that helps you to not feel overwhelmed in your life. Say “I open my Heart to surrender to love.” Sing it over and over again until you feel the energy going back into your heart.
