Day 4 of Ground, Grow & Glow: The Heart Chakra

Woohoo! We are on Day 4 of Ground, Grow, and Glow, and today, we are stepping into love, connection, and deep healing. 💚✨

The Heart Chakra : The Anahatha Chakra is the bridge between the physical and spiritual, the space where we give and receive love, not just to others but also to ourselves. When this chakra is in balance, we feel compassion, joy, and a deep sense of peace. When blocked, we may feel loneliness, depression, disconnected, closed off, or even carry emotional wounds that prevent us from fully opening up to life’s beauty. But today, we shift! Today, we reclaim our ability to love freely and fully! 🌿💖

What most people think when it comes to heart chakra is love that is only in relationship of the significant other, but yoga is beyond that. it is one that reminds you, you are the source of love, that pours into your relationship with others, mom, dad, lover, wife, husband, kids, co-workers, anyone you come in contact with. So even when you think I'm not looking for a significant partner, when you embrace the love expansion through Heart Chakra, you will radiate so much love that you become the light that attracts bees, because of the over-pouring love, that has such a healing power.

Love as Your Superpower: Are You Open to Receiving?

Your Heart Chakra is the center of emotional balance. It allows you to love without fear, trust without hesitation, and experience the world with an open heart. But let me ask you—do you let love flow into your life, or do you keep your guard up?

Today, we soften. We surrender. We expand. 🌱

When your Heart Chakra is open, you:

• Feel deeply connected to yourself and others.

• Experience more joy, gratitude, and inner peace.

• Forgive and let go of past hurts.

• Set boundaries with love instead of fear.

• Attract relationships that nurture and energizes you.

  
  

Signs of a Blocked Heart Chakra

If you’ve been feeling distant, disconnected, or emotionally numb, your Heart Chakra might be asking for attention. Watch out for these signs:

• Fear of intimacy or vulnerability.

• Holding onto past grudges or emotional pain.

• Difficulty trusting others (or yourself!).

• Feeling lonely, even in the presence of loved ones.

• Physical tightness in the chest, shoulders, or upper back.

  
  

Unlocking the Heart: Practices for Expansion

It’s time to soften and open. Here’s how:

• Heart-Opening Yoga Poses – Try Cobra Pose, Camel Pose, or Bridge Pose to physically expand your chest and release stored tension.

• Breathwork for Compassion – Practice Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) to balance emotions and bring harmony to the heart.

• Affirmations for Love & Healing – Say these out loud:

  • I give and receive love freely.

  • My heart is open to deep healing.

  • I am worthy of love, just as I am.

• Journaling for Emotional Release – Reflect on:

  • Where am I holding onto resentment or pain?

  • How can I invite more love into my daily life?

  • What does self-love mean to me?

• Nature & Connection – Spend time in nature, hug a tree, or simply place your hand over your heart and breathe deeply. Feel the love within you. 💚

  
  

A Ripple Effect: The Power of Heart Expansion

One of our beautiful participants shared this today:

"I’ve had a heavy heart for months, but today’s practice felt like a weight lifted. I didn’t realize how much I needed this."

THIS. 💖 When we heal, we create space for others to heal too. Love is contagious, and it starts with YOU.
