Expanding the Heart Chakra Through Heart Chakra Meditation
For your general well-being, it’s important that the seven main chakras be balanced and harmonious. However, you can take your chakra meditation to a new level of effectiveness through heart chakra meditation. The heart chakra is the sum of our emotional and feeling self. It also serves as the midpoint of our chakra system and is like a bridge between the three lower chakras that govern our physical existence and the upper three chakras that govern our spiritual existence. For true balance you can expand your heart chakra to include not just the six other chakras of our physical body, but also to encompass our spiritual body in its entirety.
Expansion of the heart chakra means that love and compassion will be the guiding forces for both our physical and spiritual selves. It removes the want or tendency to be completely self-centered. An expanded heart chakra does not recognize the limitation of “me” and “not me” or “mine” and “theirs”. Someone with a properly balanced heart chakra will be able to move past the limitations faced in reality and become open to and aware of higher existence and oneness.

You may not be able to get all the way through this meditation on the first few go rounds. Do not become frustrated with this. Simply go as far as you can and practice getting to this point until you feel you are able to move on further – if your heart chakra has even a small blockage, you will come up against that ‘wall’ of resistance that is blocked energy. Be persistent and ‘chip away’ at that wall with frequent heart chakra meditation. This is a more efficient task than trying to just get through the whole thing and risk doing it in a way that does not help you.
The Setting:
The best pose for this meditation is a sitting pose with your spine upright and unsupported. Sitting in an open room or open space is recommended. You are using this meditation to expand your aura. Being in a cramped space will hinder your progress.
You can listen to music, but be sure it is at a volume that is just above your range of hearing. You want it to be soft and in the background. It should be used to help you concentrate, not detract from your focus.
Close your eyes.
Take several deep, cleansing breaths and focus on your breathing until your heart rate, breathing and mental chatter slow down.
The Meditation:
Use your imagination to expand your heart chakra. Physically you are only breathing into your lungs for this mediation. However, use your mind to imagine that each breath you draw in is expanding your heart chakra, allowing it to be less constricted and closed off.
This meditation will expand the heart chakra.Breathe deeply into your heart chakra and focus on quieting the busy mind. This is a deep breathing meditation practice that will help you clear your mind and also release any stresses or bad thoughts from the day or previous experiences. In order to expand the heart chakra you must be clear and open. Deep breathing meditation helps you to do that.
Feel yourself connecting with your heart chakra as you breathe in and out. When you have completely connected with your heart chakra breathe into your solar plexus and throat chakras. These are the two closest chakras to your heart chakra. Concentrate on the feeling and sensation of your breath’s expansion, but be mindful to keep your heart chakra at the center of this expansion. Every breath rejuvenates this area of the body between your throat and solar plexus. Feel the energy of the heart chakra expanding outward, healing the adjoining chakras.
Next, start expanding your breath even further into your sacral and third-eye chakras. Focus on the sensation of the spiritual strength that resides in you between these two chakras. As you did for the throat and solar plexus chakras, concentrate on the expansion of your breath and heart chakra energy into the sacral and third-eye chakras.
Finally, take a deep breath in and envision it traveling all the way to your root chakra and your crown chakra. Feel the calm and tranquility that comes from encompassing all of your main chakras in healing energy and light. Feel that healing energy as it flows from your heart chakra.
Now imagine the colors of each chakra becoming more vibrant. Imagine them pulsing with renewed energy and life. Imagine the ‘wheels’ of energy spinning fast and free.
Once all of your chakras are in balance with each other, continue the breath expansion past your physical body. Breathe downward into the ground below you. Send breath into the air just above your crown chakra as well. Focus on the same energizing and balancing experience here as in the other breathing expansions – radiating the heart chakra energy in both directions.
Let in healing energy and light...Then expand on that. Focus on allowing your breath to reach even higher and lower. Moving towards the sky and the center of the earth at the same time. Feel yourself connected to ground and the earth while also connecting to the air and sky.
Visualize all that surrounds you and all that resides in you connecting and becoming one through the love and compassion that flows from the heart chakra. When you can feel a connection to all things and feel that you encompass all that there is, you have expanded your heart chakra.
When you have finished this exercise take care to gently bring yourself back into the present. Do not, however, leave behind the revelations and connections you have just made through your meditation. Open your eyes and look around with love. Feel the connection your heart chakra provides in the here and the now.
