HEART SOFTENING RITUAL

We are living in rapidly changing times. The challenge to process new energy takes its toll on even the most loving and forgiving heart. Whatever is happening in the outer world, it is important to maintain a loving and open personal space.

This is a ritual you can perform weekly to prevent blockage and hardening of the heart chakra.

ITEMS NEEDED

  • Singing bowls or other sound healing music

  • White, pink, green, or yellow candle

  • Palo Santo spray, stick, or oil (optional)

  • Mirror (optional)

  • Photo of someone you love (optional)

  • Soothing music (optional)

WHAT TO DO

  • Sit comfortably at your altar, in a sanctuary, or some other safe and sacred space.

  • Light candle and start the music. Burn, diffuse or spray the area with Palo Santo.

  • Take a few deep cleansing breaths for grounding.

  • If you have one, look in the mirror and say aloud or to yourself:

I am happy. I am healthy. I am peaceful. I live with ease and grace. I love you.

  • Repeat several times until your heart feels full. If you have no mirror, simply repeat this affirmation.

  • Next, look at a photo of someone you love, or visualize them in your mind's eye. Repeat this aloud or to yourself and send energy their way:

May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be peaceful and live with ease. I love you.

  • Next, imagine someone who who is familiar, but whom you do not have a close relationship. Your favorite grocery checker. The barista who takes your order every morning. The man or woman with whom you exchange smiles and nods on your morning commute.

  • Repeat this aloud or to yourself and send energy their way:

May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be peaceful and live with ease.

  • This next step is very difficult. Do not misunderstand the purpose and power of herein. Remember, this is a heart opening and forgiveness exercise, not necessarily a love exercise. Visualize someone you hate or for whom you hold a great deal of animosity. You may or may not know this personally.

  • Repeat aloud or to yourself

May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be peaceful and live with ease.

  • As a last step, visualize all four people, including yourself, and emit the highest vibrations you can muster.

  • Allow the candle to burn completely.
