Book Quotes
Meditation is a form of mental exercise that trains the mind to stay focused on a particular subject, goal, or feeling, such as breathing. By maintaining focus through methods like breathing, mantras, or other tools, the mind can stop wandering and getting lost in thoughts, emotions, or other mental distractions.
The first step to breaking old habits is to create awareness about the bad habit, as well as awareness of the subject or issue that we have held in a specific chakra.
Food is not only a way to nourish your body or physical aspect but also a means to support your energetic dimension. The foods you eat can help improve the energy of the chakras.
You are already familiar with your physical body. You know what it feels like to bend or stretch a part of your body. Your muscles are connected to your bones. Your nerves send signals to your limbs, torso, and head, and what you eat and drink affects your health. In this way, you can see how aspects of your physical self are interconnected, and how your perceptions communicate with each other through touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing to create your life experiences.
However, your physical body is not the only part you possess. Whether you are reading about chakras or quantum physics, you understand that everything is energy, with its own specific vibrational frequency. From the most basic atoms that create our cells, organs, bones, muscles, and bodily systems to the largest planets in the solar system, everything is made of energy. This energy has many names, such as Chi, Ki, Kai, Prana, Mana, Adik Force, Bioplasm, Life Force Energy, and many others.
The energetic dimension of the body is the human energy field that extends beyond the physical body. Just as your physical body consists of many layers—nervous system, muscles, and skeletal system—with complex and overlapping functions, your energy dimension is also composed of many interrelated layers. Like your physical body, each layer serves a specific purpose and the layers work together holistically. The layers of your energy body are collectively referred to as the aura. Your aura interacts with your physical body as well as with energy centers or chakras.
The heart chakra is all about connecting with oneself and nurturing joy, self-love, and compassion. The following meditations, stone techniques, essential oil applications, and yoga poses will help you connect with what you may hold in this chakra. Most importantly, they should assist you in connecting with this whirlpool of energy within yourself so that you may be open to the wisdom it holds.
While sitting comfortably or lying down, take three deep breaths. Each time you inhale, imagine that your breath is energizing the center of your chest. Each time you exhale, release anything that you may be holding in that area—any fears, pain, or even expectations about how you should feel during this meditation.
