How to open a relationship channel. How to open chakras yourself at home

For many, the teaching of chakras is more than a metaphor. Recently, not only adherents of Eastern philosophy and esotericism have been talking about them, but also, among others, psychologists, spa therapists, fitness yoga teachers and homeopaths. Many of my friends have recently been “training their chakras” - actively attending relevant trainings - and are not overjoyed with the results. One fell in love, the other stopped having conflicts at work, the third became pregnant.

The most interesting thing for me is how to communicate with the opposite sex at the chakra level. It is believed that the first chakra, muladhara (the one located just below the tailbone, it is also called the “root chakra” and is associated with the color red, the energy of the earth and the planet Mars) is responsible for our stability, connection with the earth, with our roots, ancestors. This chakra circulates the energy of survival, procreation, the ability to take risks and solve problems. If it is blocked, then the ground under your feet disappears, you feel like a victim of circumstances, your lower back hurts, problems with your legs, joints, and endless injuries begin. Fortunately, it is not so difficult for a woman to unblock this chakra - just learn to let a man take care of you. This chakra is male, the energy in it moves clockwise (this is the yang direction), and in men it should be active, and in women it should be passive. Muladhara is, first of all, the satisfaction of basic material needs, and according to the principle of energy exchange, it is better if the responsibility for this lies with the man. According to the teachings of the chakras, a man's mission is to provide his woman with basic safety, comfort and protection. Then it will be able to be successfully implemented in other areas. And the woman’s task is to charge it with energy at the level of the next, second chakra - svadhisthana. It is located approximately 5 cm below the navel (in women - at the level of the uterus) and, conversely, ideally should be active in girls and passive in boys. This chakra (it is associated with the energy of water, which is the feminine element, and the color orange, and is ruled by Venus) is responsible for pleasure, sensuality and sensitivity, tenderness, the ability to receive pleasure, for beauty, for accepting oneself (primarily one’s body ) and for creativity.

When the second chakra is blocked, we experience guilt, cannot “let go” of ourselves during sex, doubt our own attractiveness and solve endless problems with the female organs and kidneys. And if energy flows freely there, a woman is able to endlessly give a man pleasure - through touch, sex, delicious food, a warm home, care and tenderness.

At the level of the third chakra - manipura (yellow color, fire energy, the Sun) - energy is transformed and returns from man to woman. This center, responsible for social status, money, willpower, control and perseverance in achieving goals, should be active in men and passive in women. Many modern women (and me, as it turns out, too) have problems with this. We want, as they say in America, to have it all - to take an active position in life and control the situation. There is nothing wrong with this if... the desire to control does not go off scale and we know how to switch in time. Back pain, especially in the center of the spine or in the diaphragm area, constipation, gastritis and other problems with the stomach and intestines, as well as anxiety and worry about the future are all signs that the third chakra is blocked. According to energy laws, being afraid of losing money and work is very harmful - especially for a woman. This is how we lose strength and, most likely, sooner or later we may actually be left without funds. Money and status will come - on their own or through your man. You just need to trust the world more.

One of the most important “female” chakras is the fourth, anahata (emerald color, air energy, planet Moon), which is located at the level of the heart. Anahata is responsible for the ability to experience compassion and love - unconditionally and limitlessly, as well as to charge a man with emotions, inspiration, while accepting him as he is. It is believed that when a relationship is built on the fourth chakra, that is, you are connected not only by sex (this is a union on the first chakra, such relationships are the most fleeting), not by the desire for comfort and pleasure (relationships on the second chakra) and not by social status (connection on the third chakra) - they have a chance to be truly harmonious. It is also believed that this chakra is associated with our relationship with our parents - the left side of the heart is connected with the mother, and the right with the father. If you are able to experience a state of causeless childish joy, regardless of the weather and other circumstances, most likely your heart chakra is open. Dejection, aggression, the desire to please everyone, a feeling of “emptiness” in the heart, the need for self-affirmation, psychological insufficiency, and on the physical level, problems with the lungs and upper parts of the spine are signs that there is not enough energy in this center.

The fifth chakra, “vishuddha” (blue color, etheric energy, planet Mercury) is again masculine. This center controls self-expression, the ability to persuade and lead, generate and implement ideas, and achieve success in society. If this area is blocked, there is a lump in the throat, difficulty expressing an opinion, runny nose, sore throat, problems with teeth, thyroid gland, chronic tension in the shoulders and neck.

The sixth chakra, ajna (blue color, planet Saturn), is another energy center that women primarily need to develop. It is located between the eyebrows, at the level of the “third eye”, and is responsible for intuition, wisdom, insight, the ability to trust yourself, listen to your inner voice, feel other people - first of all, your man, adapting to him and gently controlling him, more precisely , directing. Energy deficiency here includes headaches, vision problems, depression, a feeling of being lost and lacking a purpose in life, or when we live too much in our heads.

Finally, there is the seventh, “genderless” chakra called sarashara. It is located in the crown area and is responsible for communication with the cosmos, highest spiritual realization and unity with God. True, mystics say that for most modern people this zone is closed.

How to “pump up” chakras?

Natalya Ignatova, presenter of women's trainings

I have my own center where, among other things, I teach classes on the “Orgasm Reflex,” which helps to “pump up” primarily the first and second chakras. This practice was invented by the Austrian psychotherapist, Freud's student Wilhelm Reich, who believed that by unblocking the muscle clamps in the intimate organs that arise as a result of parental prohibitions, we release orgasmic energy. The more of this energy you have and the more freely it circulates in your body, the more intense the sex, the higher your creativity, and the more successful you are in life. I watch all the time how, after the “Orgasm Reflex,” girls’ gait, gaze, and complexion change; they become a magnet for men. If you don’t like training, try a simple chakra breathing exercise at home. Sit back, close your eyes, tune in to your breathing. Spend two minutes on each chakra. If you find it difficult to mentally “fill” your chakra with its inherent color, it may be weakened or blocked.

Sit back, close your eyes, listen to your breathing. Bring your attention to the first chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. Feel your tailbone, sacrum, pelvic floor, relax your perineum and breathe, directing your attention to these areas, filling this space with red color through your breath.
Mentally move to the second chakra, which is located in the lower abdomen and in the center of the pelvis, begin to breathe into this place, filling it with orange - about two minutes.
Bring your attention to the solar plexus area. Concentrate not only on the front of the body, but also listen to the sensations at the back, in the center of the spine, filling this space with the color yellow using your breath.
Bring your attention to the chest area, to its center. This is the heart chakra, slowly fill it with green.
Go to the throat, the area of the fifth chakra. Feel the back of your neck, while relaxing the cervical vertebrae, filling this area with blue.
Bring your attention to the sixth chakra, which is located between the eyebrows. Fill the brain area with blue.
Focus on the seventh chakra, it is at the crown and above your head. Fill this area with purple.

Chakras are our energy vortexes, which synchronize in accordance with our consciousness and experience everything that happens around us. At a time when any emotion wears you down from the inside, this state does not allow you to enjoy life, which means that you yourself are blocking certain chakras to yourself. The energy center, the chakra, collects, stores and distributes all human energy, from physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

People's chakras are different, and in each person they are developed, relative to each other, differently. But there is one rule for everyone: without the incoming flows of energy from the Cosmos and the Earth, the human body simply cannot exist and develop. An emotional state can cause a blockage in the chakras, which in turn disrupts the circulation of energy, which manifests itself in troubles and deterioration in health.

Negative human emotions - feelings of fear, guilt, grief, lies, shame - can block a person’s chakras. Various attachments and illusions are also a factor blocking the center of power and consciousness. There are various options for removing blocks and freeing the way to open the chakras.

How to quickly open blocked chakras

Let's take a closer look at the chakras.

First root chakra

Located in the coccyx area, cherry-colored, associated with the earth element.

Responsible for life safety, strength, survival and procreation.

Most often, the first chakra can be blocked by the feeling of fear. Fear can be anything. Fear of heights, fear of interviews, fear of relationships, etc. The chakra is blocked by those fears that appear regularly. If you have constant fear, do not let your fears take over you, boldly look them in the eyes. Having understood the reasons for their occurrence, sort out your fears, thereby removing the negativity.

The mood for unblocking and activating the first chakra:

I let life manifest itself and accept it. There are events happening in my life that are positive. I see positive aspects in everything that happens to me. I perceive reality only positively. I can't hold back my fear of anything. The decisions I made were ideal in the current situation. Moving forward, I draw conclusions from the lessons life has given me. I accept myself with all my shortcomings. I am me.

Second sacral chakra

It is located deep in the body, in the area of the genital organs, has an orange color and a water element.

Responsible for a person’s emotional needs, cheerfulness, sexual energy, creativity, and life’s pleasures. Often the second chakra is blocked due to guilt. Guilt can have destructive properties throughout the entire energy system, especially the second chakra. As if entangled in a web from which there is no way to extricate oneself, one feels a dead end situation.

The state of hopelessness, limitation, gives the experience of guilt. There is always a way out; it is important not to bring the feeling of guilt to a state of “internal self-consuming.” Understand that it is not the situation or the person that is actually gnawing at you inside. And your attitude towards this situation or person. Looking at the situation, as if from the outside, will help you understand this.

The chakra opens with cheerfulness and the realization of sexual energy.

Setup to unblock and activate the second chakra:

Fears are detected, I turn them into a convincing positive attitude, clear in front of my immediate environment. I cast aside negative attitudes with doubt, swimming in a sea of positive deeds. My thoughts are directed towards creativity, growth and strengthening from within. I search, find and release my fears without holding on to negative sexual experiences.

Third chakra solar plexus

Located in the navel area, yellow in color, fire element.

It is considered a central part of the human energy system. Brings mental and career abilities, confidence, success in society, strength of plans, power.

Disappointment and shame significantly block the third chakra. The blockage is especially strong from childhood, from kindergarten and school we were shamed: “Aren’t you ashamed?”, thereby blocking two chakras at once, the second and third.

You can start the unblocking process in the same way, find the source of the negative, divide it into small parts and “sort it out” in your mind.

The chakra opens with freedom, social fulfillment, confidence, and insight.

Mindset for unblocking and activating the third chakra:

My strength and life harmony are at the gates of fears and blockages that teach everything unknown in the Universe. I boldly let in new life knowledge. I enter my blocks of fears and concerns and no longer hold them. I discard different assessments of my status, listening, listening, delving into what is happening.

I have a lot of time to think about the feelings of self-deficiency that I am letting go of. Life lessons bring new knowledge. I have been given the strength to cope with the circumstances that existed previously, which means I have the strength to act now and in the future. Death is just a life addition. I trust the flow of life.

I am full of health and love. I have complete freedom of choice. I am me, no worse and no better than other people. I am a whole part and a part of the big one. I can rejoice in other people's successes as if they were my own. A natural manifestation of a harmonious union in love, in the physical plane, is physiological intimacy, sex. A real Divine manifestation of the masculine and feminine principles, combining them together.

Fourth Heart Chakra

Located in the center of the body, in the solar plexus area it is green in color, subordinate to the air element.

The heart chakra actively takes part in the processes of human life: love, joy, kindness, compassion. It is the connecting link of the upper and lower chakras, the strength of spirituality and earthliness, the sublime and the base, health and prosperity.

Internal isolation and the experience of grief blocks the heart chakra. The first case is internal isolation. This is when a person does not give vent to his emotions, experiences, and sensations.

Another option for blocking is unpleasant heart pain. The destructiveness and danger of the feeling of grief due to the difficulty of removing a blocked channel. You need to have enormous willpower to get out of the state of overwhelming apathy. Grief is always accompanied by apathy, indifference and hopelessness. Only with great desire can you independently discern what this situation teaches, what spiritual tasks should be completed, life lessons to go through, in order to receive strong heart energy.

The chakra opens with love, compassion, openness, joy, happiness.

The mood for unblocking and activating the first chakra:

I love the whole world and all its people. The very fact of my existence makes me happy! God's beginning is in every person. I allow my inner divine beginning to manifest itself, my soul’s dictates. No matter what happens, I remain merciful. My heart is open to the whole world, the world shows care by giving all its benefits. Love always rules the world!

Fifth Throat Chakra

Located on the surface of the neck, blue color, element of air, ether. Promotes metabolism, initiates creativity, harmony, communication, sociability, truthfulness of speech.

The reason for the blockage may be not allowing oneself to manifest itself outwardly, including verbally, or the path of lies. Often a person suppresses himself, not allowing himself to express his opinion. This could be an opinion about one’s desires, an opinion about a person’s behavior, an opinion about a situation. If you don't allow yourself to speak up, the throat chakra becomes blocked.

About lies. This takes into account not only lies in relation to other people, but also to oneself, first of all. It's hard to never lie when everyone around you is doing just that. It is very difficult to resist lies; it is contagious, like a virus, and when transmitted from one person to another, it increases even more. To be able to resist lies, train yourself to be honest, do not reciprocate the liar's feelings. Be honest with yourself, as well as with other people. This way you can use the most effective and powerful option for clearing the energy of the fifth chakra.

Communication, truth, self-expression, and the realization of creative potential opens the chakra.

Mindset for unblocking and activating the fifth chakra:

I love change. The highest good gives me only good things in every situation in life. Every turn of fate is a new chance for me. My thoughts are easy and logical.

My self-love is inexhaustible, I approve of all my actions. My thoughts always help me cope with myself. I exist peacefully as a gifted, creative person, unique in my own way, finding ideal ways to express myself. I allow myself to express myself the way I want.

I express my opinion freely. My internal resources are inexhaustible, my virtues and abilities are fueled by an inexhaustible energy flow. The endless stream of intellect reveals new abilities in me. I freely express my will and accept my desires. All my actions bring positive effects and emotions at the moment.

Everything that happens to me gives me joy and brings me positive experience, leading to further success. I appreciate even small success by doing my best. I don’t judge anyone in this life, neither myself nor the environment. It is with great pleasure that I take life into my own hands.

Sixth chakra of the third eye

The chakra is located between the eyebrows, in the center of the head. Indigo colors, air element.

Provides the opportunity to strengthen spiritual will through bodily contact with the subconscious. Develops extrasensory abilities and intuition.

The sixth chakra can be blocked due to excessive expectations and illusions in life. The inability to separate illusions and reality leads to blocking. If a person does not accept the reality of the situation that happened and the actual assessment of what is happening, a block is placed. There is no need to try to be better than your neighbor and take on more than you should.

Spiritual knowledge cannot break through if a person is obsessed with star fever or pride closes his feelings. The most common case is constant excessive expectations. We constantly draw pictures of the future as it should be.

How everything should happen, how I should behave, how others should behave. The main rule in life: “Expectations are never met.” Accept reality without exaggeration and dreams will come true, becoming reality.

The use of intuition, awareness, and flexibility opens the chakra.

Mindset for unblocking and activating the sixth chakra:

I allow myself to express myself the way I want. I express my opinion freely. I see everything that is happening clearly and understand what exactly is happening, realizing why this is so. I have the courage to want more. For this purpose, desires provide an incentive to believe in oneself. I have the necessary knowledge. Everything I do, I do with love for this activity. My intuition never lets me down. I have wisdom and power.

I become a generator of useful ideas and plans that I can easily implement. Obstacles in my path only make my life stronger. I quickly and easily overcome obstacles that stand in my way with the help of intuition. The very process of overcoming difficulties brings me pleasure. I trust everything that happens and accept it without tension.

My integrity is guaranteed! I have the right to choose, which is always mine. The words must (must) are leaving my life. I work easily, playfully. Freedom of choice and action is the basis of my strength. The path to my dream is completely open, and I am taking the first steps.

Seventh upper chakra

It is also called crown. This chakra is purple in color, but it is possible to change the color to the color of the predominant chakra. Located above the crown.

It is the link between man and the energy of the universe. Attachment to earthly and material goods blocks the crown chakra. There is nothing wrong with material things. Everything that is created in this world is a manifestation of divine energy.

Problems arise when a person becomes overly attached to material values. Everything earthly: home, work, people can have earthly attachments, you need to be able to let it go. Don't be possessive. Don’t put your “this is mine” stamp on people or material possessions.

The development of the inner world and the complete release of subtle energy opens the chakra.

The mindset for unblocking and activating the seventh chakra:

Thanks to the higher powers for everything they have given! I am the whole infinite Universe. To achieve success, everything is enough for me, I just have to want it. Trust is very important, especially in yourself.

I enjoy every moment in life, enjoying the process. Success and prosperity are my constant companions. Whatever you wish will soon come true, dreams will come true. Satisfaction of life's needs occurs without much effort. The forces of the Universe are rushing to my aid, because I am the property of the world and God’s gift.

Good afternoon dear friends! Have you ever felt a sudden, urgent need for love? For no apparent reason. Everything is there, but something is missing. Sound familiar? Such sensations are a sign of a blocked heart chakra. If energy cannot circulate freely throughout the body, stagnation occurs. Due to the resulting imbalance, the entire body suffers. Chronic illnesses, failures in your personal life, financial problems... I think it’s not worth continuing: it’s already clear that something needs to be done about this. How to open a woman's heart chakra? First things first.

Symptoms of the block

The most noticeable manifestation is pessimism and passivity. Normally, a person perceives the world optimistically and copes with difficulties, even if it is not easy. When there is a block, the desire to give up becomes more and more frequent. With dysfunction, a person does not look for opportunities, but for excuses and justifications. When he is offered options, he reluctantly agrees, but then finds a thousand “buts”. I don’t want to move forward; I have to get stuck in the “swamp.”

There is a feeling of defenselessness. People around you seem to be negative. “I’m not worthy of love, no one will ever love me,” is one of the typical thoughts. In fact, only increased suspicion, resentment and constant pain interfere with relationships. Women with dysfunction are prone to jealousy and revenge, even small things cause them to burst into anger.

First of all, the block distorts the perception of the world. We cannot correctly assess the situation, so false emotions arise.

Often, when blocked, the following symptoms or diseases develop:

oncology
heart attack
chronic fatigue
insomnia
hypertension
tachycardia
panic attacks, anxiety or anger attacks
breathing problems.

If you notice something like this happening to you, it’s time to take drastic measures!

Ways to Open the Heart Chakra

How to remove a “clog” from a canal? There are many methods. They are based on the exclusion of negativity. Throw out of your head resentment, melancholy and anger. This is energy garbage! What will help you achieve your goal? Let's consider the most effective methods.

1. Tactile contact.

Sometimes the only thing a person needs is a big hug. Have you ever been hugged during an argument? Surprisingly, such a simple action quickly overcomes anger. Having a pet also helps open the chakra. When we pet a pet, happiness hormones are released. As a last resort, try a massage.

2. Goodbye.

If someone has treated you badly, it is their fault, not yours. Resentment is an emotional burden that the offender is trying to shift from himself to you. Don't accept negativity. Why do you need it? Remember that a happy person cannot offend. The right decision is to feel sorry for the “attacker”, continue on your way and continue to enjoy life.

3. Open your soul.

Often we close ourselves off. We don’t let anyone in, and then we sincerely don’t understand: why are we alone? This comes from fear. Most people are afraid of negative experiences. Many have already been burned and do not want a repeat. Get rid of your phobia! Remember that a bad experience is also an experience. It is needed in order not to repeat mistakes, and not to escape reality.

4. Get used to thinking positively!

Have you caught yourself making excuses or being negative? Find 2 solutions to the problem or 2 advantages in the current situation. There should always be more good than bad. Gradually, you will stop seeing the negative and being afraid of obstacles altogether.

5. Get real.

We are so accustomed to the Internet that we rarely communicate with people in person. Letters and brackets replaced facial expressions, intonation, and emotions. This is “dead” communication that brings almost no benefit. Try giving up social networks for a week, talk your friends into it, and organize a small joint event. You will see how your life will change during this time. Surely you will have time to find several common hobbies and get to know each other better.

6. Play sports.

Exercise helps keep not only the body, but also the soul in good shape. There is no need to work until exhaustion. 15-30 minutes a day is enough. Be sure to choose exactly what you like. Maybe your element is the pool? A morning run helps you clear your mind and get ready for work. While cycling you notice the beauty of the world around you. If you want to improve your health, prefer a course to strengthen your back muscles or a set of exercises “5 Tibetans”. I talked about them in other posts.

7. Listen or repeat affirmations.

It has long been proven that self-hypnosis works. A person can tune himself to any wave. If you constantly reproach and blame yourself, you will not be able to get out of the vicious circle. The simplest affirmation: “I love and am loved.” However, we are all individual and you may need a different one.

8. Read mantras.

We have already talked about how sound can heal. Vibrations passing through our body affect energy channels. The mantra for the heart is the sound “yam”. You need to not just repeat it, but tune in to the ritual. Imagine how a flow of energy passes through you, clear your thoughts. Not only the mantra itself is of great importance, but also your emotions.

9. Love yourself.

How often do you sacrifice your desires or health for the sake of others? Stop “beating” yourself! If you have health problems, take care of them. No excuses or fears. Just go to the doctor and start treatment. If you don't love yourself, you won't be able to love others. Allow yourself little whims. Look for a middle ground.

10. Compassion is love.

Sometimes it's good to watch a heartbreaking movie and just cry. Don't keep your emotions inside, let compassion come out. Tears, concern, a desire to help are completely normal. Literally translated from Armenian, “I love you” means “I will take your pain.” Very true! If you want to help someone, help. Don't be afraid to seem intrusive once again. It's better to be annoying than heartless.

Don't stop at just one method! Ideally, all methods should become your personal rules. They will help not only open the heart chakra, but also deal with other issues.

The block of energy channels hits on all fronts. First problems arise inside, and then outside. You involuntarily close yourself in an imaginary comfort zone, which in reality turns out to be a trap. Don't fall into the trap! Try to prevent the formation of a block, and if trouble has already struck, fight. You just have to start.

How do you “open” your heart? Essential oils help me. I love the scents of rose, mint and lemon. They allow you to relax and get back on track. The smell of citrus fruits generally has a strong effect on your mood. See you again!

How to open the heart chakra?

The energy center, called Anahata, is located in the center of the chest and is called the heart center. about this chakra.

This post is about exercises, poses, asanas, meditations and pranayama techniques that can be used to work with the anahata chakra, to activate and open it.

With the help of this set of exercises, lung volume increases and breathing deepens, which increases the circulation of energy in the body, eliminates fatigue, and improves blood circulation. Organs become healthier, the nervous system is balanced.

We start from the top and go in a circle, smoothly moving from one asana to another

These complexes contain a set of asanas, each of which affects one or more energy centers.

How to open the heart chakra? Asanas.

Now let's look directly at the asanas that strengthen our heart center.

Before we begin listing and describing them, I would like to note one very important point.

Strengthening and developing the heart center can be practiced using both asanas, physical exercises, and through meditation and pranayama. .

And whatever you are practicing at this moment in time, you should concentrate your attention on anahata, at your heart center.

The main thing is concentration.

Meditation is essentially concentration. Meditation without concentration is not meditation, but simply relaxation. In relaxation you can fall asleep, in meditation you cannot. Also pranayama and asanas should occur with concentration of attention in anahata.

Anahata is the heart center. This is the heart. What do we think about when we talk about the heart? About love. If you work with anahata, then everything should be done with a feeling of love.

Imagine that you are breathing love into your heart, although sometimes it is very difficult to immediately tune into this frequency. Try it.

So, asanas.

What do all asanas have in common to open the heart center? What is their main meaning?

The main thing is expansion, stretching of the chest for a large amount of blood to flow to your chest. Therefore, when performing exercises to strengthen the heart center, many body deflections are performed.

1. Ushtrasana (camel pose)

Taken from yoga.ru

This pose is quite difficult and it is simply dangerous for an unprepared person to perform it. There is a simpler option to start with, below.

In the meantime full version of Ushtrasana.

Kneel on the floor so that your legs touch each other along the entire length. Ankles are on the floor, toes are pointed out.
Place your palms on your buttocks, lean forward a little and begin to tilt your torso back, bending your spine inward. There should be no arching in the lower back
Relax your head back, open your chest, stretch your shoulders, and place your hands alternately over your shoulders on your feet.

Direct your attention to the chest area, feel how it has expanded, how you have opened it towards the light. Breathe evenly and calmly through your nose into full lungs.

In order to avoid spinal injury, you need to exit this asana correctly.

Slowly lower your buttocks as low as possible and raise your arms one at a time. I repeat once again, to perform this asana you must be ready.

It is better for an unprepared person, a beginner, to refuse to perform it. Learn the safety precautions and rules when performing this asana.

Ushtrasana (camel pose) stretches the muscles of the chest, abdomen, and thighs. This improves digestion, opens the lungs, improving the quality and depth of your breathing. The heart center opens.

For beginners there is a simple version of this asana.

Place your hands on the upper part of the buttocks, point your fingers down, bring your elbows closer to each other. Bend over, open your chest as much as possible in this pose.

Over time, when you feel that you can freely be in this asana, when the tension goes away, you can move forward.

If you are not confident and feel tension, then it is better to refuse to perform and leave the pose.

2. Dhanurasana (archery pose)

Lie on your stomach, bend your knees, put your hands behind your back and grab your ankles with them as in the picture, at the base of your feet.
Take a deep breath, as you exhale, lift your chest and pelvis from the floor, pull your head back.
Stay in the pose for a short time, half a minute will be just right.
At the end of the exercise, exhale and release your legs, lie down on the floor and relax.

The legs stretch the arms, thereby stretching the shoulders and opening the chest.

Try not to raise your shoulders to your ears, and do not spread your knees to the sides. Also try to avoid putting too much strain on your lower back to avoid lower back injury. Direct your efforts and attention to the deflection of the thoracic region.

3. Chakrasana. Bridge pose. A well-known asana.

Lie on the floor on your back, move your legs towards your hips, bending your knees. Place your palms behind your head at shoulder level, pointing your fingers towards your feet. Exhale and push yourself up, straightening your arms and lifting your pelvis up.

4. Stand in a prone position.

Of the well-known and common physical exercises, you can remember push-ups and a standing position while lying down, when you fix your body position at the lowest or intermediate point during push-ups.

There is a lot of stress on the pectoral muscles. These exercises do not open the chest, but also affect our heart center in their own way.

I give only the basic elements of implementation. In case you want to go deeper into yoga techniques, there are many yoga schools. Here I am simply introducing you to those asanas and exercises that will help you open your heart center. How deep you want to go into this is your choice.

In addition to physical exercises and asanas, you can influence the heart center through meditation and pranayamas.

One of the tools when answering the question of how to open the heart chakra is meditation. Sit in a comfortable meditation position. Relax completely and close your eyes. ()

You will constantly have thoughts, images, feelings, Emotions. Don't judge anything, just watch what happens. Just step back and look from the outside.

Imagine that there is something inside your heart a small point source of light and slowly it began to grow. This happens slowly and gradually. Allow it to expand until it fills your entire inner space and begins to shine outward.

Imagine that there is darkness around you, and you are the light, which illuminates it.

Now direct your attention inside your heart, imagine that you are going deep into it. Observe everything you see there.

Perhaps these will be some images, paintings, just spots, signs. Anything. Observe and dive deeper. In addition to visual images, you may begin to feel something new, or it will just be a feeling of warmth and love.

You are inside your own inner world - everything you feel is you.

Open up to this, try to identify with these feelings.

Don't get lost in the sea of feelings and emotions. Be aware of yourself while in the space of your heart (otherwise known as hridayakasha). This is the home of your soul. There is always a lot of light and love here. They are always there, even when you are angry. You can always draw love from within your heart.

There may be a variety of emotions and feelings inside you, and sometimes not the best, but there is always love and light there. Feel the presence of God within the space of your heart. Ask Him for help and support.

Share the beautiful and kind that is inside you. Share with everyone, even those you don’t like. Share the best you have with them. To receive, you must first give.

If you don't feel anything, it's okay. Let it be as it is. This is meditation. There is no bad or good here. It happens as it happens.

Bring your attention to your breathing, breathe easily and freely. Feel how the air passes through with each inhalation and exhalation through your heart.

Try to feel confident that you can love and forgive, that you can give freely without demanding anything in return. And then you will be able to realize the strong desire to develop this in yourself.

Now just relax. Without any expectations or evaluations, stay in the space of the heart.. Sit like this for a few minutes. Think about God, about prayer.

To open your heart, you don't have to gain or give anything, everything is already inside you. You need to realize your inner Self and become one with it. Live in unity with the soul.

Think about something beautiful. Decide that all the best that you have found in yourself today will definitely be expressed and will find application in the outside world.

Once again, feel the love within your heart, let the light flow from you, illuminating everyone around you. Don't be afraid to give love and light. The more you give, the larger and stronger the source within you will become.

Notice all the experiences and images that arise in your mind.

Thank God for the boundless love he endlessly bestows on you.

Slowly, slowly come out of your heart space and return to the outside world. Feel your body, feel the position in which you are sitting, your arms, legs. Be aware of where you are. Thank yourself for the practice. And now slowly open your eyes.

Pranayama for working with the heart center.

You can also perform “pranayama square” breathing exercises to open the anahata chakra (post coming soon, stay tuned). As you perform, feel your heart beat. They must be slow and strong.

If the heartbeat quickens, and the beats become superficial and frequent, then the breath holds are too long and you should reduce their duration. ()

Over time, by feeling the heartbeats, feeling the area of the heart where they come from, you will be able to feel how the heart pulsations make your whole body shake.

You can also use other simple pranayamas with concentration on the chest area. When you inhale, you draw in life force - prana. Imagine that prana fills all the space in your chest, enters your heart, fills it.

Location

Anahata is located in the center of the body in the solar plexus area. The spiritual and physical principles are combined here. It's called the heart chakra. Translated from Sanskrit, “anahata” is a spiritual place where there is no suffering or resentment. The fourth chakra is indicated by the color green. It was not chosen by chance, since it is associated with spiritual transformation.

Chacoan anahata

You can understand the state of the green chakra by looking at a person’s behavior and mood. People with an open channel of love behave kindly: they are ready to forgive, have compassion, and help those in need. A blocked chakra provokes anger, hatred, jealousy, envy. The accumulation of a large amount of negativity affects the physical condition.

For some people, the anahata chakra has been closed since childhood, for others it is blocked due to traumatic events. At the physical level, the lack of love energy is expressed in poor circulation. The functioning of the heart and lungs deteriorates.

Chakra blocking on a spiritual level:

detachment;
indifference;
emotional cold;
distrust of oneself and the world;
fear;
feeling of insecurity.

At the behavioral level, blocking is reflected in manipulative actions, lies, and tyranny. You can heal anahata by changing your attitude towards the world. A person who strives for harmony in the soul must feel love for others, stop looking for and absorbing negativity.

Feeling grateful for what you already have helps you be happy.

What is he responsible for?

Will is the main lever that determines a person’s achievements. The choice is made not by the head and logic, but by the heart. If there is no energy in the chakra, then the person lacks motivation to succeed.

Inner voice, intuition is the second property of Anahata. The ability to see signs, listen, be able to analyze and draw conclusions allows you to take the right steps. Honest, fair people who are not afraid of change have a powerful chakra.

A failure in the energy system gives rise to negative properties of the mind:

lack of remorse;
anxiety and restlessness;
hopelessness;
vanity;
arrogance;
greed;
selfishness;
hypocrisy.

Behind many of these manifestations is the desire to be loved and accepted for communication.

Chakra blockage: causes and manifestations

Since the main flows pass through anahata, a malfunction is fraught with consequences ranging from physical illness to mental disorders.

Negative life circumstances and feelings that arise in connection with this take away energy:

guilt (“I don’t pay enough attention to my parents”);
indifference (lack of gratitude for flowers, help);
attempts to evoke pity in others;
cruelty towards loved ones, breaking ties;
demanding gratitude for your services.

A blocked love chakra often occurs due to irrational attitudes. Some people receive as an “inheritance” from their parents, others they produce themselves.

The main reason for energy retention is unlived grief. Physiologically, this is expressed in pressing pain in the chest. Getting out of depression and apathy on your own is not always possible. Often, the help of a specialist - a psychologist or psychotherapist - is required.

The point of working on opening the love chakra is to accept loss and consciously experience the full spectrum of negative emotions.

Opening the Heart Chakra

Anahata connects a person with. This is the main source of love and inspiration. A person feels love for the world around him when the energies are in balance. There are many ways to normalize the functioning of the heart chakra: color therapy, music therapy.

Meditation

The obvious benefits of exercise have been scientifically proven. The more time a person spends meditating, the better his mental health. During the sessions, a subjective experience is created that affects the functioning of the brain.

Opening the heart chakra can be done through many techniques. Each person chooses what suits him. Regular exercise restores a stable energy flow.

It is important to be in a quiet, calm environment during sessions. 15 minutes is enough to come into balance.

Color therapy

Anahata is the chakra of love, which is associated with the color green. In the spectrum line it is between yellow and blue. The first helps to bring peace into life, the second helps to bring wisdom. The symbiosis of shades allows you to comprehend the harmonies of life.

Affirmations

– one of the types of auto-training. A person pronounces certain beliefs that are deposited in the subconscious. Problems with the functioning of the heart chakra are often associated with a poor emotional state, the presence of complexes, and low self-esteem.

Affirmations are said several times a day, preferably before. You can take notes or view slides on your computer. Examples of affirmations: “I trust myself and the world!”, “Other people’s criticism does not bother me,” “I forgive myself!”

Mantras

- these are sounds, words, phrases or sentences charged with a certain meaning and beliefs. They can be combined with meditation. The mantra of the heart chakra is “YAM”. This syllable is pronounced in difficult life situations and chanted loudly. Systematic exercises stabilize the work of anahata.

Music therapy

The method is actively used not only in esotericism, but also in psychotherapy. It has been scientifically proven that sounds affect brain structures. Even the ancient Greeks used the flute to restore mental balance.

There are 3 types of music therapy on how to open the love chakra:

passive (a person listens to sounds);
active (creates music himself, plays an instrument);
integration (listening is accompanied by watching a video sequence).

Sessions are carried out immediately after waking up or before bedtime.

Listening time to songs is 20-30 minutes.

Features of the chakra in men and women

The 4th chakra for representatives of the stronger sex distributes energy to all areas of life. A person can enjoy and be successful in several activities at once. The heart chakra in men, as in women, is responsible for manifestations of love.

Energy comes from different sources simultaneously and spreads in the same way. Based on the energy-informational nature, men are polygamous. For this reason, harems are allowed in Muslim countries.

The female chakra has a strict vector orientation. It is very important to know how to open a woman’s heart chakra - to prove love on a material level: giving gifts, flowers, courtship.

The lack of “evidence” is a sign of fading feelings on the part of a man. The vector direction of energy suggests that a woman can realize herself only in one area: love, career, motherhood. It’s difficult for her to be torn about everything and be happy at the same time.

If a man is absent from a woman’s life, a large amount of energy accumulates. The most reasonable way out is to direct it in a constructive direction (play sports, gain new knowledge, improve in your profession).

Amplitude-frequency response

This indicator is important when. It characterizes the dynamic state of absorption and emission of energy. Energy information scanning helps to see a detailed picture of the state of health and emotional background.

The fourth chakra is in a positive balance when a person enjoys life, is open to everything new, and experiences delight in anticipation of future events. A negative balance indicates an energy leak. It goes into negative thoughts: envy, jealousy, or flows to another person.

Anxiety due to everyday troubles also takes away energy. A strong shift of the heart chakra in a negative direction can manifest itself in serious diseases: angina pectoris, tachycardia, heart attacks, oncology.
