How can i open my heart chakra?

You can open your heart chakra with yoga and/or meditation. To do this with yoga, follow these steps:

1. Get on your knees on the floor. Your feet should be about the width of your hips apart, with your toes extended.

2. Tilt your head backwards so that you are looking up at the ceiling.

3. Press back your elbows so that you are pushing forward with your hips and expanding your chest.

4. Drop your hands back and grab hold of your heels. Hold this pose for a minimum of 30 seconds.

If you'd rather open the heart chakra with meditation, try this visualization exercise:

1. Sit erect in a chair. Make sure your breathing is normal, but deep.

2. Close your eyes and turn your attention toward your heart. In your imagination, enter your heart.

3. Imagine that you are now standing on a green plain in the countryside. The sky above you is bright pink. In front of you is a green, grassy hill, and on top of the hill is a temple. This temple is your heart. Hold this visualization.

4. Now climb the hill. You walk up the grassy slope to the temple. You climb the steps of the temple and enter the center doorway. Observe the appearance of the temple. Is it swept clean? Or is it covered with dust?

5. Walk into the dimly lit interior and approach the central adytum. As you near, you can see a flickering light within. The flame grows brighter as you approach. It swells and recedes rhythmically with your own heart beat in the bowl-like depression in the center of the room.

6. Gaze upon this flame. Send it your energies. See it respond to your energies, watch it grow bright and strong as it reaches up to touch the ceiling 40 feet above. You are feeding the flame of your heart. You are stimulating it to growth. Breathe deeply and realize in the depth of your being that your heart center is coming alive.

7. Open your eyes and sit in quiet meditation for 5 minutes before rising and terminating the exercises.
