Freeing...
It’s understandable that we want to protect our heart. But, too much protection can lead us living with our heart blocked off from others. In this healing meditation, we begin by letting go of anything that no longer serves us and then through shamanic journeying, we find, explore and heal the wall around our heart.
Getting comfortable, I began shaping my breath to a 7:7:7 ratio, where I inhaled to a count of 7, paused for a count of 7 and exhaled to a count of 7. Letting go of anything that no longer served me, I became a blank slate ready to be filled and illuminated. Visualizing this purifying white light at my crown and then flowing throughout my body, I felt cleansed of any and all negative energy. Visualizing earth’s energy moving on up and through my feet all the way to the my crown, I felt wrapped in love.
Grounded, cleansed and wrapped in love, my chakras began beating to my own heartbeat, their light getting bigger and bigger until it expanded beyond this body of mine. Finding myself surrounded by this chakra bubble of sorts, I felt safe and protected to go on a little journey.
Bringing awareness to my heart chakra, I saw a green flame glowing in the shape of a door. Eager to see what was on the other side, I decided to walk through. Entering my beautiful inner sanctuary, I felt at home. Out of nowhere, a rabbit showed up and led me to my heart. Seeing a stone wall around my heart, I knew that it had been sheltered from others for far too long. Listening to the rabbit, I grabbed a stone out of the wall and read the inscription on it. It said the word, hurt. Reliving the first time I was introduced to this emotion, my stomach felt in knots. Placing this inscription in a fire, I watched as the flames became bigger and then withered down to ashes. Placing these ashes onto the surface of a nearby river, I watched the current take them downstream. Feeling the knots in my stomach unravel, the rabbit and I walked back to the wall. Noticing that a huge portion of it had crumbled from taking out that one stone earlier, my heart was no longer blocked. Going back to that time in which I felt hurt for the first time, I noticed that emotion gone from that experience. Free from that trapped emotion, my heart is open, shining with light. What a beautiful experience! Thank you!
Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️
