Healing Your Heart Chakra With Quan Yin

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.
