Meditation for the Heart Chakra

Sit upright with a straight spine, shoulders back, and with your chest up and open. To relax your body, first inhale and tense the whole body, then exhale and relax completely. Do this three times. Now, inhale slowly and feel that you’re filling your whole body with air, from the feet up to the top of the head. Exhale, and feel that you’re expelling all tension, all impurity, and all worldly attachment. Inhale, filling the body with lightness and air, from the feet up to the top of the head. Exhale impurities and tension. Do this again, one final time.

Think of your heart, and visualize strings of attachment—cables, in some cases, threads in others—going out in all directions towards various objects. You don’t need to think of the objects; just think of all those cords going out, attaching yourself to the things of the world. Imagine taking an ax, a saw, or some scissors (whatever you need) and cutting them away.

Mentally affirm: “With the sword of devotion I sever the heart-strings that tie me to delusion. With the deepest love, I lay my heart at the feet of Omnipresence.”

Polish the heart till it shines and reflects back to the world only light and love. Then go inside the heart, and whatever little seeds of desire may still be there, pull them out with your fingers and cast them up into the air, allowing the wind to take them away. Your heart becomes as light as a balloon and can soar upward, free from the trammels of earth. Feel your heart soaring upward. All its rays of aspiration are turned toward freedom, toward the sky, toward the Infinite.

Now feel and meditate on the thought of the air element of your body. Your body is made of air; it is as light as air. Think of the freedom of the vast blue sky. Then visualize a balloon filled with helium, so it can fly upward. Think of this balloon as symbolizing all your likes and dislikes, all your worldly desires and attachments. Release the string of ego by which you hold this balloon in your grasp. Watch the balloon soar upward, growing smaller and smaller with distance, until it finally disappears into the air and only the vast blue sky is left. Your whole concentration is on being in the air, and having nothing left to concentrate on but air. You become the air itself.

Affirm quietly but joyfully: “Nothing on earth can hold me! My soul, like a weightless balloon, soars upward through skies of eternal freedom!”
