DESCRIPTION
In Sanskrit, the Heart Chakra is known as Anahata, which means "Unhurt, unstruck, unbeaten".
Mantra: Yam. I love...
Color: Green.
Location: Center of the spine at heart level.
Function: Compassion, empathy, love, and forgiveness. Letting things pass through without damaging you, "it's not about me, it's about them".
Balanced: A balanced heart chakra is connected to all life. It recognizes what emotions are authentic to them and which belong to others. Centered, feel worthy, and open to love.
Overactive: An overactive Heart Chakra has indiscriminate love, promiscuity, and no boundaries. They are over tolerating others. Co-dependant has no self-regard, and can not say no.
Blocked: A blocked Heart Chakra feels lonely, shy, and socially anxious. Suspicious, paranoid, afraid, and untrusting. Can not give or receive freely.
Anatomy: Cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and immune systems. Upper back, ribs, shoulders, arms, hands, diaphragm, and breasts.

TODAYS' MEDITATION:
I prefer to meditate as soon as I wake up. First, drink a nice glass of water and blow your nose. Then sit in the Sukhasana pose, which is Indian style making sure your spine is straight (Head over heart, heart over hips). We are now going to do Nadi Sodhana (opposite nostrils breathing). Take your thumb and plug your left nostril, breathe in, switch your pinky to cover your right nostril while releasing your thumb from your left nostril, breathe out, and repeat for a total of four rounds.
Next, we go to YouTube and put on our favorite guided Heart Chakra meditation. My personal favorite is called Chants for Heart Chakra Healing by Meditative Mind. If you can find it they have one for each of the seven Chakras, find all seven and save them.
TODAYS' YOGA POSES:
The very first thing I recommend is talking to your doctor to be sure that you are healthy enough for this or for any exercise regimen before you start.
The second step is to look up the exact correct ways to do each pose. I recommend a site called Yoga Journal.
Each week I will pick three poses per Chakra. Try to hold each pose as long as you can and do not forget to breathe. For today
Sukhasana with anjali mudra
Supta Virasana
Shavasana
If you want to do an entire yoga sequence I recommend YouTubing "Yoga with Adrienne". She is amazing.
CHAKRA CARD:
I use the set called Chakra Oracle Wisdom Cards by Tori Hartman. I continuously recommend that each of you get your own set with the book. There are legends in the book that go with each card that will help you better understand the lesson behind each card. I use a basic sentence of hers to get to the basic point. But trust me, these cards go much deeper and you will thank yourself later for the investment.
