Heart Resonance

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. – Buddha Pure consciousness, which is the heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate truth. – Ramana Maharshi

“The most common denominator in all religions is that the heart is the seat of wisdom,” said Rollin McCraty Ph.d, director of research at the groundbreaking HeartMath Institute in Santa Cruz, CA. Twelfth century Christian mystic, Hildegard of Bingen, would agree. She wrote, “The soul sits at the centre of the heart, as though in a house.”

The human heart, in addition to its other functions, actually possesses a heart-brain composed of about 40,000 neurons that can sense, feel, learn and remember… Research has shown that the heart communicates to the brain in several major ways and acts independently of the cranial brain. The energy of the heart can be measured and modern scientific instruments can pick up the field of the brain about an inch (25.4mm) away from the skull and the field of the heart can be detected almost a metre away from the body.

A blockage in the heart chakra can also lead to physical symptoms like poor circulation, heart troubles, and respiratory illness like asthma. If you have an issue with these conditions in your life, clearing your heart chakra may help you recover from them and lead a healthy life, both emotionally and physically.

The heart chakra is located, of course, by your heart and translates to ‘Anahata’ in Sanskrit. ‘Anahata’ means: unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten. This beautiful translation truly represents the power of resilience we all hold in our hearts.

So! How do we heal our hearts to take advantage of the power of the heart.

Every morning upon waking, activate your heart chakra. An easy way to do this is to imagine a beautiful 1000-petal Lotus slowly opening in your heart chakra. This is a quick heart coherence technique recommended by the HeartMath Institute.

Using the power of your heart to balance thoughts and emotions, you can achieve energy, mental clarity and feel better fast anywhere. Use Quick Coherence especially when you begin feeling a draining emotion such as frustration, irritation, anxiety or anger. Find a feeling of ease and inner harmony that’s reflected in more balanced heart rhythms, facilitating brain function and more access to higher intelligence.

Step 1: Focus your attention in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a little slower and deeper than usual.

Suggestion: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm is comfortable).

Step 2: Make a sincere attempt to experience a regenerative feeling such as appreciation or care for someone or something in your life.

Suggestion: Try to re-experience the feeling you have for someone you love, a pet, a special place, an accomplishment, etc, or focus on a feeling of calm or ease.
