Psychic Tantra Breathing Meditation
(Heart Chakra Meditation)
Heart Chakra Meditation has been advised by several traditions and religions. As we know that heart chakra is in the middle of all the chakras, it is the link between those in the upper level as well as in the lower level. It is the seat of love, understanding, affection, caring and all the qualities of human nature.
The meaning of the Sanskrit word “Anahata” is unstuck. The heart chakra is associated with unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness. Purity, caring and affection is manifested at this chakra. As this chakra becomes purified, a greater sensitivity and emotional balance radiates across the body. This chakra is considered the beginning point of divinity in man. The heart chakra is the bridge that connects and elevates the lower chakras (associated with animal instincts) with, the higher chakras (associated with spiritual growth). The real transformation in the spiritual life starts with the heart chakra; moving towards a serene and calm mind without any violence. It is here that one gets the wisdom of the true self. If consciousness is in this state, one’s creativity and talent are fully manifested. “Sankalpa,” the determined desire, is fulfilled by visualization, meditation, and concentration on one’s Sankalpa and heart.
Objective:
• Compassionate attitude
• Acceptance of one’s own masculine and feminine emotions
• A forgiving attitude
• Self approval
• Heartfelt love and affection
This meditation technique energizes the heart chakra by opening it and allowing the energy to manifest the characteristics of this chakra. One starts understanding people through the heart with a positive attitude, and there is a component of love and affection in that approach. It creates a harmony not only within you, but also among with your fellow beings. It helps one to grow spiritually, by all the negative thoughts. When you feel that you too are one among others, there is no room for the hatred, worries, tensions, anxieties, etc. Heart chakra has the power to accept everything with correct and matured understanding.
