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.

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, 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.
