During the meditation preparation phase, you can sit
on the floor or on a chair in a comfortable position with your spine straight,
relaxing your shoulders. Bring your hands to the level of your heart and press
lightly against the joints of the thumbs. Take slow and deep breaths. Get your
thoughts and distractions out of your mind and focus only on the breath you
take into your body.
Meditation Phase
When you feel calmed down, focus on the slight
pressure of the thumbs, which puts pressure on your chest and feels the
heartbeat, for 1 to 5 minutes.
Then gently release your hands and rub the palms
together with gentle movements. This movement will allow your hands to warm up,
allowing energy to flow.
Then close your eyes by placing your right palm in the
middle of your chest and your left hand on top of the right hand. Imagine that
the center of your chest, where you put your hands in this way, is filled with
warm and radiant energy. Revive this energy as an emerald green light that
radiates from the center of your heart to the rest of your body.
Focus on feeling this radiant energy flowing into the
arms and hands and then back into the heart. Try to maintain this dream image
by repeating it for 1 to 5 minutes. Feel the heart chakra energy spread
throughout your entire body.
Then turn your palms on your chest outwards. Imagine the green light of love that you have been dreaming of flowing out of your palms. Feel this energy radiating to yourself and your surroundings.
