OPENING THE HEART CHAKRA
The heart chakra is the gateway to connecting the lower
three "Earth" chakras with the upper three "Spirit" chakras.
It is through the heart chakra that Spirit
is grounded on Earth. When the heart chakra begins to open,
then the spiritual quadrant begins to open as well.
How can the heart chakra be opened? Music and singing are
one of the fastest ways to open and align the heart chakra.
Singing or chanting for twenty
minutes a day can do wonders. This is what bhakti yoga is
all about. Loving someone or something (animal or garden)
also develops the heart center.
Focusing the giving and receiving of unconditional love
allows the heart to open and expand. Love can take many
forms, such as caring, understanding,
forgiving, patience, or compassion.
When the heart chakra is opening, often energy blockages are
felt. It could take the form of pain in the back or chest.
We are all suffering from broken
hearts, and as we allow ourselves to open and become
vulnerable, we begin to get in touch with our heart pain.
There will often be deep sadness and grief
to be felt and cried as we begin to heal our hearts. We may
have insights into why the sadness and the tears, but it is
not important to know where the
sadness is coming from - only to allow ourselves to feel it
and let it come up for expression. As we begin to heal and
align our four lower chakras, we
often become aware of our fears, which can move into anger
and then into sadness and grief, which can be transformed
into love through our heart chakra.
When we open our hearts, we begin to feel the love and joy
and peace. We will also feel the pain; that is all part of
an open and vulnerable heart. We need
to learn to detach from the pain and not attach to it
personally. We allow it as just another natural emotion - no
better, no worse than our other emotions.
ALL of our emotions need to flow in expression and not be
blocked or repressed. There is really nothing to fear from
any of our emotions. If we accept
and allow our feelings, they will quickly move through us.
However, all blocked emotions, without exception, will
ground out in some other way, such as
through physical illness or violent outbursts.
So part of learning to open our hearts is learning to accept
and allow all of who we are. To do this with grace, we need
to be kind to ourselves. We need to
be gentle and nurturing with our feelings and emotions. We
need to treat ourselves as we feel a small child would want
to be treated - with no judgement,
just love and compassion. As we open our hearts, we begin to
find out who we truly are. Our true essence emerges. And our
true essence is LOVE.
