Heart Chakra Meditation: Awakening to Suffering
Heart Chakra Meditation : Awakening to Suffering
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position
Close your eyes or soften your gaze
Draw a deep cleansing breath into your heart
And exhale out through your mouth
Now allow gentle, easy breaths through your nose
As you are breathing, notice the rise and fall of your chest
Begin to breathe full and complete breaths through your nose, into your heart center
Exhale out slowly through your nose
Full and complete breaths into your heart center
Exhale all the way out
Notice your own suffering
Notice how it manifests in your body and emotions
Hold compassion in your heart
Return to awareness of full and complete breaths
Release suffering with each breath
Notice suffering of marginalized and oppressed people
Feel the suffering in your body and emotions
Hold compassion in your heart
Release suffering with each breath
Notice suffering of privileged people
Feel the guilt, defensiveness, and disconnection
Feel this energy in your body and emotions
Hold compassion in your heart
Release suffering with each breath
Go deeper into the body
Into the heart
As you breathe
Imagine pure light radiating from your heart
Fills you with glowing love
Infinite love
Spreads throughout your entire body
Into the Universe
Know you are an Infinite Being of Light
You are Divine Love
Sense your body and your breath
Sense pure light at your heart center
Return to easy gentle breaths through the nose
When you are ready open your eyes
Namaste, And so it is
