Open Your Heart Chakra

We have seven chakras, or energy centers, located along the axis of our spines.

Each of the seven chakras is associated with a sound vibration and a color.

In this exercise, we will focus on opening our heart or Anahata chakra, located in the center of the chest.

This is the chakra of love, compassion, peace, and acceptance.

The sound vibration associated with the heart chakra is "yum" and the color is a vibrant emerald green.

Begin by closing your eyes and focusing on your heart.

Visualize a beautiful green light that nurtures and bathes your heart in pure love.

Take a deep breath, and on the exhalation, say "yuummmmm" aloud in one long syllable.
Feel the sound vibration in your body and notice the energy flowing effortlessly from the base of your spine through your heart chakra.

Continue breathing deeply and repeat the sound yum on each exhalation until you feel infused with a feeling of peace and safety.
