Heart Chakra Healing with Yoga Nidra

Use this meditation to awaken the feeling of love and forgiveness. In today’s practice, we will focus on the 4th chakra, the heart center. Any time we feel lonely, sad or disconnected we need to check in with our heart center. When the heart center is blocked we may feel jealous, hold grudges and have a fear of intimacy. But as we awaken this center, we will tap into our resilience, our ability to overcome all of life’s challenges and allow them to help us grow stronger. We will find compassion for ourselves and others and tune back into unconditional love. A few signs that we need to heal the 4th chakra would be: Physically, we may experience a lowered immune system such as colds, flu, infections, heart and lung issues, poor circulation, high/low blood pressure as well as breathing difficulties. Emotionally, when Anahata is blocked, we may experience: Shyness Loneliness Depression/Anxiety Find it hard to forgive Lack empathy On the other hand, if our heart chakra is overactive, we may notice: Dependence on others for fulfillment Jealousy High expectations of others Harsh judgement of self and others Needing the acceptance of others The chakras are energy centers that correspond to nerve bundles and major organs. Each chakra is like a spinning wheel, collecting the energy from below it and raising it higher until it is caught by the next chakra and circulated. When all chakras are open and flowing we experience health and well being. But our emotions, stress and tension from everyday life can block this natural flow of energy. Just like we need to clean our external world, our house, our body. We also need to attend to our internal cleanliness, meaning our emotions and our energy. So today’s practice is like a spring clean for our inner world, beginning at our root chakra. If you are enjoying this podcast, please tell all your friends.
