Yoga Asanas for Activating the Heart Chakra

I find that the most effective way to balance your energy centres is to do targeted yoga poses such as:

  • Ustrasana (camel pose)
  • Bhujangasana (cobra pose)
  • Spinal flex with hands on the knees
  • Heart openers (yin)
  • Camatkarasana (Wild Thing)

When the Heart Chakra opens, you’ll feel an abundance of empathy, compassion, and love. This applies not only to others but also to oneself. A balanced chakra allows people to be who they are, instead of attempting to live up to external expectations. A person with an open Heart Chakra develops trust in themselves and respects others.

Here are some of the ways to unblock the Heart Chakra.

A Seed Mantra Meditation for Love

Meditation can help to restore proper energy flow to the Heart Chakra. Meditation is a deeply personal experience that clears the path to experiencing peace within. It resolves the various anxious thoughts that bring imbalance in life.

The mantra associated with Anahata Chakra is YAM. It is considered to be the seed or beej of the heart depicted with the Heart Chakra symbolism. Chanting this mantra heals both the physical and the spiritual heart centre. It also makes a person more open to experiencing unconditional love and compassion.

Sit cross-legged and take deep breaths. Focus on the Heart Chakra and start changing YAM. Imagine the chakra opening with the energy flowing throughout the body. The vibrations of chanting YAM produce an overflow of positive feelings.

Daily Affirmations to Build Confidence & Love

Affirmations – can help to increase the positive energy associated with the Heart Chakra. Keeping a journal of gratitude helps in acknowledging the gifts of the present moment.

Some examples of positive heart affirmations include:

  • I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
  • I am wanted and loved.
  • My heart is open to love.
  • I forgive myself.
  • I live in a state of grace and gratefulness.
  • I value love above attachment.
  • I am worthy of love.
  • I love all beings equally.
  • I am in harmony with myself and others.

Pranayama – Breathing Exercises for the Heart Chakra

The fourth chakra element is air so breathwork is a gateway to opening your Heart Chakra. One of the most beneficial breathwork techniques that not only balances the right and left brain hemispheres but also opens the heart is Anulom Vilom. Practising Anulom Vilom frequently brings calmness to both body and mind.

A Green Diet for Balancing the Anahata Chakra Energy

The predominant colour of the Anahata Chakra is green. Eating foods of the same colour as the chakra you are trying to heal can balance the energy flow around that area. The foods that help restore the balance are- spinach, kale, broccoli, matcha, green apples, green tea, cucumbers, etc. Green vegetables are also recommended by expert nutritionists for a healthy body and mind.

Practising Forgiveness to Open the Heart Chakra

When we have experienced loss and isolation, it can make us judgmental and jealous. Making an effort to practice forgiveness might seem a very difficult task. Not being able to forget the past resentments and anger only stops us from moving forward into future happiness. Talking to a close friend or meeting a professional counsellor clears the mind and guides you through inner growth and peace.

Conclusion

The energy of the Heart Chakra has a deep impact on our personality. A meaningful and balanced life can be achieved when our Heart Chakra is in balance. Maintaining a balanced Heart Chakra brings knowledge of the Self, which helps develop a strong relationship with others.

Yoga Asanas for Activating the Crown Chakra

Yoga poses where your forehead touches the ground as well as seated postures are beneficial in awakening the Crown Chakra.

Here are three yoga asana that can be easily performed to balance the Crown Chakra:

Headstand | Shirshasana – This yoga asana is considered an ideal posture for stimulating the energy in the Crown Chakra. While engaging the core muscles, this asana also develops strength, steadiness, and energy. Try to maintain this posture for at least five easy breaths. Regular practice of Shirshasana gives clarity of mind and balance.

Rabbit Pose | Sasangasana – Rabbit Pose is a wonderful way to find a deep connection with the Crown Chakra. This yoga pose relaxes your head, spine, and shoulders.

  • Kneel and bow forward, bring the crown of your head toward the floor.
  • Cup your heels with your hands by reaching the back with your arms.
  • Lightly touch the floor with your head instead of a firm pressure down into the ground.
  • After several breaths, lower your hips toward your heels, release your grip on the heels, and roll up through your spine to a seated position.

Corpse Pose | Savasana – This is the simplest and the most effective yoga asana to practice detachment. It teaches you to fully let go of your desires, expectations, efforts, and judgments. Increase the benefits to the Crown Chakra while in this pose by visualizing white light entering from the crown of your head and descending the length of your spine as you inhale. As you exhale, visualize the light rising back up the length of your spine to the crown of your head.

Affirmations for Crown Chakra Balance

Affirmations are the best technique for balancing the chakras. All of them aim to boost confidence and faith in oneself without any judgments or Ego. These affirmations promote an open Crown Chakra.

  • Divinity resides within.
  • I am open to new ideas.
  • Information I need comes to me.
  • The world is my teacher.
  • I am guided by a higher power.
  • I am guided by inner wisdom.

Foods for Crown Chakra Balance

The Crown Chakra foods are natural, wholesome foods that promote general well-being. Foods that are fresh and organic, vegetables, fruits, brown rice, brown bread, and hearty broths help to bring energy centers into alignment. Violet foods like eggplant and red grapes are great as they are the colors of the Crown Chakra. Ginger spice has cleansing benefits and promotes spiritual clarity. Herbal teas reduce blockages by promoting health in your digestive system.

Conclusion

Each chakra represents spiritual energy that helps us understand ourselves better. Sahasrara Chakra energy residing at the crown of the head is a realization of completeness. By bringing balance and peace to the body and mind, we can overcome obstacles, let go of emotional blockages, and walk the path towards spiritual consciousness.
