The following exercises are designed to help cleanse and open your Heart Chakra

Learning to clear and cleanse your chakras could prove to be one of the single best investments that you’ve ever made for yourself. Chakras hold the key allowing you to tap into your higher-self and connect with energy from the Universe. Working directly with your chakras will help you become a more conscious person, making you more aware of your body’s energy centers and how they can affect your entire life.

Meditation:

1. Sit erect in a straight-back chair. Shut out all sound as best as you can and prevent interruption.
2. Close your eyes and turn your attention toward your heart.
3. In your imagination, enter your heart.
4. To your surprised, you are now standing on a green plain in the countryside. The sky above you is bright pink. In front of you is a green, grassy hill, and on top of the hill is a temple. This temple is your heart. Hold this visualization.
5. Now climb the hill. You walk up the grassy slope to the temple. You climb the steps of the temple and enter the center doorway. Observe the appearance of the temple. Is it swept clean? Or is it covered with dust?
6. Walk into the dimly lit interior and approach the central adytum. As you near, you can see a flickering light within. The flame grows brighter as you approach. It swells and recedes rhythmically with your own heart beat in the bowl-like depression in the center of the room.
7. Gaze upon this flame. Send it your energies. See it respond to your energies, watch it grow bright and strong as it reaches up to touch the ceiling 40 feet above. You are feeding the flame of your heart. You are stimulating it to growth. Breathe deeply and realize in the depth of your being that your heart center is coming alive.
8. Open your eyes and sit in quiet meditation for 5 minutes before rising and terminating the exercises.

Sound has always played an important part in psychic development. Any uttered sound designed to achieve a human response is a mantram. Important among these are “tho,” “ehm,” “meh,” and “err.”

• “Tho” is pronounced like “throw” without the “r.” Emphasis is placed on the “th” sound. It effects the Throat Chakra and its corresponding gland, the thyroid gland.

• “Ehm” is pronounced like “aim.” It effects the thymus gland and is a beneficial influence upon the Heart Chakra.

• “Meh” is pronounced like “met” but with an “h” ending instead of the “t.” This has a soothing effect on the physical nervous system and a stirring influence on the Heart Chakra.

• “Err” is pronounced “urr” and the “rr” sound is sustained at the end. This mantram is particularly helpful in clearing an upset or chaotic condition in the mind or emotions and should be used for that purpose.

More Heart Chakra Exercises:

• Turn your attention to your heart. Visualize energy flowing into and surrounding the heart by seeing that energy vibrating as a shining PINK cloud and intone the various mantra that stimulate the Heart Chakra - “ehm” and “meh.” Practice this exercise 2X per week, preferably in the morning upon waking.

On the other days of the week, perform one or more of the following exercises:

1. Mantram. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, your spine straight and your head erect. Intone softly but quite audibly the following mantram 7X consecutively without pausing. Do NOT vary the tone.

RA-MEH-RA-MA-RA-MEH

2. Color plus mantram. Sit as indicated before. Visualize a PINK cloud around your body at the level of the heart. See the cloud pulsate in rhythm with your heart’s beat. Intone softly:

U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-UMM

The “U” is pronounced “ooh.” Do this three times. The intonations should coincide with the visualization of the PINK cloud.

3. Energy Flow. Sit as indicated. Visualize a WHITE cloud of vibrant energy over your head. The cloud should be VERY white, like sunlight on newly fallen snow. Know that this cloud is composed of VITAL PRIMARY ENERGY OF THE HIGHEST SORT. Then, by an act of your WILL, bring this cloud down into your heart, entering the body at the left of the spinal column between the shoulder blades.
