Opening the Pathway to Love: A Guided Meditation for the Heart Chakra
Shaina Tranquilino
August 4, 2023
It is essential to find ways to nurture our emotional well-being and cultivate love and compassion within ourselves. The heart chakra, also known as Anahata, is the energy centre responsible for connecting us with these feelings. Located at the centre of our chest, this powerful chakra governs our capacity to give and receive love, forgiveness, empathy, and gratitude. By meditating on our heart chakra, we can create a harmonious balance in our lives and foster healthy relationships with others. Join me on a transformative journey through a guided meditation dedicated to opening and healing your heart chakra.
Step 1: Find a Serene Space
Begin by finding a quiet space where you won't be disturbed for the duration of your meditation practice. Ensure that the environment is calm, comfortable, and free from distractions. You may choose to light some candles or play gentle background music to enhance the ambiance.
Step 2: Get Comfortable
Sit in a relaxed position - either cross-legged on the floor or on a chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Straighten your spine while keeping your body relaxed; gently close your eyes.
Step 3: Deep Breathing
Take several deep breaths in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. With each inhale, imagine drawing in positive energy into your heart space; with each exhale, release any tension or negativity.
Step 4: Visualize Green Light
Visualize a vibrant green light radiating from the centre of your chest, representing your heart chakra. As you inhale deeply, imagine this green light growing brighter and more expansive with every breath.
Step 5: Focus on Loving Affirmations
Repeat loving affirmations silently or aloud such as "I am worthy of love," "I forgive myself and others," and "I am open to receiving and giving love." Allow these affirmations to resonate within your heart space, filling it with warmth and compassion.
Step 6: Release Emotional Blockages
As you continue breathing deeply, visualize any emotional blockages or past hurts dissolving away. Imagine them being gently released from your heart chakra as the green light expands further, purifying and healing this energy centre.
Step 7: Cultivate Love and Compassion
Direct your focus towards yourself, acknowledging that self-love is the foundation of all relationships. Visualize a radiant pink light enveloping your entire being, emanating pure love and compassion. Feel this love permeate every cell of your body, uplifting and nurturing you.
Step 8: Extend Love Outwards
Now, expand your loving energy beyond yourself. Visualize sending waves of unconditional love and compassion to those around you - family, friends, colleagues, even strangers. Envision this beautiful energy connecting hearts across distances and fostering harmony in the world.
By dedicating time to meditate on our heart chakra regularly, we can create profound shifts in our lives. Opening ourselves up to love and compassion not only benefits us personally but also has a ripple effect on those we encounter daily. Through this guided meditation for the heart chakra, may we all cultivate a deep sense of connection, forge healthier relationships, and contribute to a world filled with more love and understanding.

I know the bi-generation was silly and goofy and all but like also
The Doctor getting to the point where they couldn't bear the weight of it all, Eleven and Twelve and Thirteen's guilt and grief on top of all that Ten already carried, and the only way to survive it was splitting in two?
Where one Doctor takes most of the trauma and has to stop and process it so the other Doctor is free enough of it that he can keep doing what they always have to do, keep running because what will the universe do without them? What will they do without the universe?
The self destruction combined with the most radical self love where they share the burden and the responsibility and the grief and the joy between them-
(x x)
They couldn't survive it alone any more, but between them they can
