Introduction to the Chakras – Heart Chakra

The Heart Chakra may be the one you have heard the most about in class. I often use the Lotus Mudra to help you open up your heart space. In Sanskrit it is known as Anahata. It is located at the centre of the chest and is imagined as a glowing ball of green. It relates to the Air element.

The other day I had a few difficulties in my family situation and my heart was a bit torn. I started to do some chakra work and chanted the sound for each of the Chakras and my voice was breaking and wasn’t able to carry the sound. Something felt like there was a blockage or disruption with the energies in the heart space.

To help you release and clear this chakra you can:

*use rose essential oils.

*work with rose quartz, jade or green calcite.

*repeat to yourself ‘I am kind to myself, I am loved, I am enough’.

*Imagine a great leaf or ball of green energy at your heart centre, glowing and spinning.

*Chant ‘Yam’

*Create the Heart Chakra mudra by placing your thumb and index finger tips together gently allowing the other fingers to fall naturally at your heart space. Create the same shape with your left hand and place it in your lap.
