Chakra Meditation- Anahata (Heart Chakra)

Colour-Breathing Meditation for

 Anahata/Heart Chakra

Get comfortable.. if you`re lying down let your whole body relax and become comfy. If you`re sitting, then relax your hands on your lap or at your side, whatever way feels comfy.

And close your eyes. This is your time now, so leave all your worries at the door. Allow yourself to relax into the flow of the moment. Whatever comes easily for you is just right. There is only right here, right now, the future and the past do not exist right now.

Notice any sounds outside of the room, acknowledge them and let them go. Notice any sounds inside of the room, acknowledge them and let them go.

Tell your body to relax. Let your feet & legs soften into position. Drop your shoulders. Relax your hands. Allow your full body to soften down and relax into a natural position. Now tell your head and face to relax. Your scalp and hair. Your ears, your jaw and chin, your cheeks, your nose, your eyes, and your eyebrows..your forehead, all soft and relaxed. 

 Take a cleansing breath in…and breathe out the tension in your body.

Allow your breathing to fall into its own natural rhythm, not trying to control it in any way. Just observing as you breathe in relaxation, and breathe out tension. Breathing in, breathing out. Just watching the natural rhythm of your breathing.

If thoughts intrude, allow them to flow on past, and return your attention to your breathing. Breathing in, breathing out (repeat).

Bring your attention to your chest area. Imagine a lovely little green light there…swirling around like a little whirlpool. Try to notice how it feels, how it looks. Try to get a sense of how it is functioning, can you feel any tingling? What thoughts are popping into your head? Is it swirling and moving, what speed is it, does it feel fast or slow, a little small light or a big enlarged light. Can you see any colour in your minds eye?  Visualise again the little green light around your chest area, watch as the green glow starts to gently spread out and get bigger as it spins.

Now bring your attention to your breathing- breathing in and breathing out. (repeat) As you  breathe in, visualise yourself breathing in emerald green light down into your chest area. With every in-breath you pull in more fresh green light, allowing it to fill your Heart Chakra and your chest area, spreading out through your whole body. Breathing in green light, down into your arms and hands. Down into your pelvis, your legs and toes. Breathing in green light up into your chest, your head,  filling your entire body, connecting with all other chakras.

Focus again on your chest area, on the swirling green light chakra centre, visualise in the centre a little pink rosebud. Allow this pink rosebud to unfurl slowly, petal by petal, opening out into a beautiful pink flower surrounded by glowing green light, with a golden yellow centre. Know that you are safe as you open out your heart centre to give and receive love. 

As you breathe in this green light it brings you love, compassion, forgiveness, an open heart.  As you breathe out, the green light heals your heart and dissolves all fear. Feel the lovely green glow as it gently spins and envelops you. Breathing in green light, breathing out tension. Tell yourself you are loving, you are loveable, you are loved. Breathing in green light, breathing out tension (repeat). 

(Closing down the Chakra): Bring your attention back to your chest area, to the green light of the Heart Chakra. Visualise the swirling green light getting smaller, bringing it down to around the size of a fairy light, bringing it back down to normal function. Repeat to yourself “My Heart Chakra is working at normal function”.  

Bring your awareness back to the flow of your breathing, in and out, in and out. Notice the cool breath as it comes in through your nose and down the back of your throat and into your lungs. Notice the natural movement of your tummy as you breathe, in and out. Be aware of your full body again as it rests against the floor. Bring your attention to your toes, and give them a little wiggle. Then to your fingers and give them a little wiggle. Give your shoulders a little shrug. Let yourself be aware of the room again, of all the sounds close by. And when you feel ready to, you can open your eyes.
