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.

A consultation with your health care professional is the proper method to address your health concerns.

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.

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.
