The Heart Chakra

“The fourth wheel of energy, the heart or air center, corresponds to the heart and lungs in the body. Opening this center implies the awakening of love and compassion. The heart and chest area are where we breathe and feel love, spirit, and compassion. This chakra is considered the first of the higher centers-with love, everything in life resonates at a higher level.”

“The heart chakra serves as a fulcrum for all the other centers-the three higher and the three lower. This center lies midway along the chakra system, where it can resonate equally above and below and balance the higher and lower. It instructs us to make the heart and love the center of our being.”

“Meditation is usually viewed as a solitary practice, a movement within. A yogi I met said, You know, we’re all saints when we’re alone. It is much easier to be saintly when you’re by yourself, when there is no one to rub up against. We need relationship to discover our true selves and to see how we’re doing. We can not see all of ourselves without a mirror, a reflection. Relationship and daily life offer that reflection. The mirror of relationship reflects and reveals parts of us to ourselves. Relationship is the dance of control and surrender in the balance and discovery of love, cooperation, creation, and mutual reflection.”
