This week’s challenge was to use the heart opening postures of yoga to balance the anahata chakra. Anahata literally means “unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten”. I equate this to having a fire within your heart.
If the heart pathway is made clear and energy is allowed to flow freely, you become a more passionate person. Once you feed yourself, you find it easier to instill the qualities of harmony, peace and love in others. Remember, deep within we are all inherently seeking love. Love is all you need, love cures all, love is the answer.
Here are some ways that you can nourish your anahata chakra:
- Connect with nature – get outside and find a source of inspiration
- Hug more
- Do a good deed
- Spend time with animals
- Use the essential oil Rose – smelling it actually brings a smile to your face
- Surround yourself with what makes you happiest – flowers, music and photos can trigger positive emotions
- Live by this quote from the poet Rumi, “Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love”
