Happiness from your Thinking Heart.

​Dear All,

Below is a chart of the heart chakra showing it's related points on hands, feet and head. A mantra is also given for opening the heart chakra that you can experiment with now.

The practical importance of your heart chakra to leading a happy and fulfilled life can be summed up in the following quote, which is taken from Steve Jobs (former Apple CEO) commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005:

"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." (*)

Fine words. But how do you apply this?

Easy.

Here's the chart:

Here's the mantra:

First go into meditation: mentally raise your kundalini and put on a bandhan, close your eyes and focus your attention at the crown of the head. Sit still like this for about a minute or two. Then place your right hand over the centre of the chest (heart chakra) while repeating the sound made by the sanskrit word 'jaga-damba'​ . Feel the effect of the repetition both in the centre of your chest and crown of head.

Science is revealing this connection between head and heart (see here: Thinking from the Heart - Heart Brain Science)

In this 5 minute video clip the 'mental activity' of the heart is further explained: Have faith in yourself.

With the use of the mantra and meditation on the heart chakra, the chakra begins to open out more, which causes the chakra at the top of the head(sahasrara) to open out and strengthen your connection (Yoga). Then don't be surprised when an urge or desire arising from the heart begins to actualise.

See you at group meditation on Tuesday.

Regards
