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.

Opening Your Heart With Quan YIn

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.
