Healing Your Heart Chakra With Quan Yin

green heart in nature
Honest emotions and feeling such as love, joy, compassion and respect all originate form the Heart chakra. The heart is considered the seat of the soul in many cultures and some believe the Heart is the center of one’s true beliefs and ideals.  

It is through the Heart chakra that we feel a connection to others and the world around us. When we are emotionally or spiritually wounded we experience pain that is often referred to as heartache.

For spiritual and emotional healing and wholeness to take place and be maintained the Heart chakra must be given attention and cared for.

Parts of the body influenced by the Heart chakra are the heart, the circulatory system, the lungs and the immune system.

Emerald green and pink are colors associated with the Heart chakra and these colors are used in color therapy for assisting the Heart chakra in healing.

To begin healing your Heart chakra with Quan Yin, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Lift your right hand up at face level and bring your right elbow out to your side.  Make a fist leaving your index finger pointing up towards the sky. Place your left hand on your chest above your left breast; your elbow is parallel to the ground. Hold this position and feel the energy shifting in you body. Hold your elbows high and in a comfortable position. Continue breathing and holding this position for three minutes while visualizing Quan Yin behind you supporting and assisting you in healing your heart chakra and bringing you back into wholeness and balance.

The Importance of Uplifting Your Heart With Quan Yin


So much of our attitude about life and our capacity to meet life’s challenges depends on the quality of the relationships we have, especially our relationship with our inner self.  When this relationship goes sour, life tends to feel bleak. The quality of our inner relationship has a powerful effect on our physical and mental balance, as well as our sense of satisfaction in life. It is important to maintain a healthy relationship with our inner self.

Uplifting our hearts is very beneficial for our body, mind and relationships.  Laughter is a great way to lift our hearts. Laughing is free and is highly contagious.

Establishing and restoring positive emotions and a sense of connection with our inner self and others can occur through laughter. Laughing can defuse anxiety and anger.

Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine (adrenaline), dopamine and growth hormone. It increases the level of health enhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. Laughing increases the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T cells, which translates to a stronger and healthier immune system as well as fewer physical effects of stress. Through laughter physical and emotional releases occur.

A good hearty laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs and even works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed. Laughing even provides a good workout for your heart.

To begin uplifting your heart with Quan Yin, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Lift your elbows up to shoulder level with your elbows bent and forearms are parallel to the ground. Place your thumbs under your arm pits, keep your finders straight and slide your thumbs towards your heart chakra until the tips of your middle fingers touch each other in the center of your heart chakra. Your hands are above your breasts with palms facing down. As you inhale your middle fingers will move away from each other and as you exhale your middle fingers will meet each other again.  With each inhalation permit the healing energy and Quan Yin to expand your heart and entire chest. Continue breathing and mentally repeat Quan Yin’s name for 3 minutes, then relax.

Please don’t forget to laugh often throughout your day.

Opening Your Heart With Quan YIn

Quan Yin in red lotus
There are seven chakras in our energy body. Each chakra has a specific purpose and is essential for proper balance of our physical, emotional and spiritual health. Our heart chakra is the fourth chakra and it determines our ability to express love to our self and others as well as to forgive, have compassion and empathy, and to build positive relationships.

Our heart chakra is located in the middle of our chest. The heart chakra is the energetic center for all feelings of love. When our heart chakra is open, we experience the healing benefits of unconditional love. Love is true healing.

Some benefits of opening the heart chakra include:
·      A positive outlook on life
·      Allowing love to flow into you and your life
·      Increased self-respect
·      Heightened feelings of compassion
·      Emotional healing from previous negative experiences
·      Healing anxiety and depression
·      Greater appreciation for your loved ones and the world around you
·      Strengthened relationships with family, friends, and co-workers

When our heart chakra is balanced and strong, we possess the qualities of easily letting go of grudges and reaching out to others with compassion from a place of peace and harmony within our self. We are loving, warm, affectionate, accepting, tolerant and equally loving of our self and others.

True healing of emotional wounds comes from our heart chakra. When we open our heart chakra, our true nature will realize we have been holding onto negative feelings that harm our self and others. With this realization, we can begin healing and letting go of unhealthy experiences.

Here are some questions to ask our self to determine if our heart chakra is strong, open and balanced:
·      Are we distrusting without discernment?
·      Are we cold and perhaps aloof?
·      Are we reserved?
·      Do we lack compassion?
·      Do we act heartless?
·      Are we self-centered or selfish?
·      Is our immune system weak?

If you have responded yes to any of the above questions, it is time to open, balance and strengthen your heart chakra.

Even if you currently have a strong, open and balanced heart chakra, it is important not to neglect it. If we do not properly maintain our heart chakra on a regular basis, we will find ourselves acquiring unhealthy negative traits that will not only affect our health, but our relationships with everything.

Lift your hands up in front of your heart center, palms facing up towards the sky with fingers spread apart. The palms and fingers are not touching. Visualize your heart center opening and filling up with a radiant green light and Quan Yin sitting behind you. Continue breathing and hold this position for three minutes. Keep your fingers stretched as antennas that bring healing energy into your heart.

Evoking Your Sacred Scent of Perfume With Quan Yin

Quan Yin above forest



Why would we want to evoke our sacred scent of perfume?

As we go through life we collect fragrance memories, aromas that remind us of special events, of people, of places – smells that are unique to our life story and us.

Often it is difficult to describe or even adequately remember those fragments of fragrances, but just a whiff of one of them will reignite those synapses.

The process of evoking our sacred scent of perfume can bring memories flooding back to us and allow us to combine elements of our life that can assist us in living whole unto our self, permitting us to be fully present and engaged in creating a life of empowerment and fulfillment.

We all love to feel good and when we feel good we attract the good life has to offer us.

Evoking our sacred scent of perfume will guide us in a journey that will bring us greater joy than we can ever imagine.

To begin evoking your sacred scent of perfume with Quan Yin, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Lift your right and left hand between your heart and throat. Keep your palms flat and facing each other. Now make a fist with your left hand and press the top of your left fingers against the palm of your right hand (index finger is resting at the top of the right palm and small finger is at the heal of the right palm). Apply gentle pressure and hold for at least 3 minutes. Continue breathing and mentally repeat Quan Yin’s name.

Living From Within With Quan Yin

Quan Yin in pink lotus flower

Our five physical senses are so powerful; that by observing the world around us with them, we become so convinced our external reality is the only reality that exists. This misleading belief causes us to relentlessly push ourselves to do more and have more, and this is why our physical environment is overflowing with more things than we really need. As a result our inner BEING is left unfulfilled. The inner emptiness that we experience drives us to double up our efforts to do and have more. Less obvious, our inner world is also a true reality. Our inner BEING seeks the deeper fulfillment of peace, ease and calmness. When we are fulfilled within our inner BEING, we want less and need to do less, and ironically attract and have more in our physical world. We develop the presence of mind to more richly enjoy all of what we do and have.

Now let’s slow down and take a moment to be mindful of the following principle. If you are attracted to living this principle, do not try to implement it. Trying causes stress and sets us up to fail, which is counter-productive. Simply put your attention on this principle every day. This principle already resides within each of us. We only have to gently place our attention on this truth to evoke it from within our heart and become aware of it in our daily living.

Current scientific theory supports the idea that our essential nature is non-material and composed of vibrating energy. An example: if there are two pianos in a room and we strike a chord on one, it will cause the other to vibrate the same cord. Our thoughts and actions carry this truth. If we carry love within us, we will attract love to us and if we choose to carry anger or resentment we will attract that as well. When we commit to loving our self and others unconditionally, we will experience over time a life completely void of disturbing relationships and filled with loving ones. This has a great impact on the quality of our personal and business relationships.

To open your heart center with Quan Yin, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Lift your hands up in front of your heart center and create a bowl with your palms facing up. Now spread your fingers apart with the upper parts of your thumbs, upper parts of your little fingers and the base of your palms touching. Visualize holding a blooming lotus flower and open your heart to the fragrance of the imaginary lotus flower and to Quan Yin. Continue breathing and hold this position for three minutes. Keep your fingers stretched as antennas that bring healing energy into your heart.

Divine Worship With Quan Yin

Blue Sky Quan Yin
Worship is usually an act of religious devotion directed towards someone or something resembling the divine essence of life as a Goddess or God.

A designated person can perform an act of worship individually or in an informal or formal group.

Religious worship can occur in a wide variety of locations: at home or out in the open, such as on the beach, in a park, in a forest, or on private land.

Many religious traditions place an emphasis upon regular worship at frequent intervals, whether daily or weekly.

Expressions of worship vary, but typically include one or more of the following: Prayer, meditation, ritual, chanting, music, dance, religious holidays, festivals, pilgrimage, feasting, temples, shrines, idols or simply private individual acts of devotion.

To begin turning within to practice Divine Worship with Quan Yin, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Place your palms together in front of your chest. While continuing to breathe, sit still and focus on your third eye asking Quan Yin to guide you into your practice of Divine Worship. Practice for at least 3 minutes.

A mantra that can be used to enhance the practice of Divine Worship: Ek Ong Kar (One Creatrix/Creator, Goddess/God is One). Repeat mantra mentally with each exhaling breath.

Living In Accord With Our Impeccable Truth And Quan Yin

Peaceful Quan Yin
Being true to our self, means we must act in accordance with who we really are.

When we know and love our self, we find it effortless to be true to our self. As the old saying goes…until we love ourselves, we cannot love anyone else. Just as we cannot be true to anyone else until we are true to ourselves.

Pretending to be something we are not for the sake of gaining acceptance by others can have severe repercussions. It takes courage to accept and be our true self and not what others think we should be.  

When we are genuine and reflect our real self by acting in accordance with our fundamental nature, we respect others and ourselves and others also respect us in return because we demonstrate our strength and competence for standing up for our self and our beliefs. We also find happiness within ourselves.

Our individuality and uniqueness is permitted to shine through when we are true to ourselves. We have the ability to respect the opinions of others, but do not conform to their expectations or become stereotypes. Being true to ourselves requires us to be introspective, sincere, open-minded and fair.

Living in accord with our true self means we are not only considerate and respectful of others, but we are selfless and selfish in a healthy manner.

Also, in being true to ourselves we are not defined by what others may or may not think of us and we make decisions for ourselves that are ours to make. It is always best for us to live our life in congruency with our highest values and intention.

To begin seeking your impeccable truth with Quan Yin’s guidance, find a quiet and comfortable place to sit with a straight spine. Place both hands on your knees, palms facing up towards the sky and lightly cupped while holding your fingers together. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Hold this comfortable pose and focus your attention on your third eye and Quan Yin, while enjoying the stillness and peace. Hold this position as long as your wish or time will permit and continuing to breathe.
