Learn How to Use Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls to Balance the Heart Chakra
The chakra system is the main energy system of the body, and our chakras are like the organs of our spiritual body, much like our physical body has organs that are vital to our health and physical well-being. It is important to keep our chakras healthy, balanced and flowing, and we do this by using tools such as quartz crystal singing bowls, which have special properties of healing and regeneration. The heart chakra is an important chakra in its own right and it is essential that we keep it flowing freely, especially when it comes to improving the areas of love and relationships in our lives. Read on to learn more about what the heart chakra is for and how to use quartz crystal singing bowls to balance this important energy center.
What Is the Heart Chakra?
The heart chakra is the fourth chakra in the chakra system, and is located just about where it sounds - in the center of our chest, near our heart. It governs the heart, circulatory system, blood, lungs, breasts, diaphragm and rib cage. This chakra is the center for love, and from it we learn the lessons of forgiveness, compassion, trust, generosity, and of course, unconditional love. If this important center is imbalanced, you may be overcome with feelings of self-pity, fear of getting hurt, and may have trouble releasing old emotional wounds and heartbreaks. A person with a healthy, open, and flowing heart chakra will be especially compassionate, nurturing, optimistic, and will have an easy time being loved by and loving other people.
Balancing Your Heart Chakra With Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation
The note associated with the heart chakra is F, and its color is green or pink. Balancing this chakra can be accomplished easily with a simple meditation and your crystal singing bowl. Since crystal singing bowls are tuned to a specific note, make sure you have one tuned to the note of F. Set aside a special time and place for your meditation where you will be undisturbed for about 15 minutes. Take some deep relaxing breaths until you feel calm and centered. When you are ready, strike your singing bowl on its rim three times, and then begin playing it by running the striker around the rim. As you play, inhale deeply and direct your attention and your awareness to your heart area. Feel yourself filling up with love and compassion for yourself. To help this process along, you may repeat some affirmations to yourself. Examples of heart chakra affirmations are:
I deeply and truly love and approve of myself.
I trust in love.
I open my heart to love.
I follow the path of the heart.
I forgive those who need forgiving for not being what I wanted them to be.
When you feel filled up with well-being, visualize this feeling radiating outwards towards those you are close to, like friends, lovers, and family members. Imagine that they are also being surrounded and filled up with love and compassion. After visualizing the people close to you, extend this love and compassion out to others that you do know, then people you don't know and outwards until you feel yourself send out love to all inhabitants of the world.
When you are finished with this meditation, you may stop playing your crystal singing bowl and then strike it three times to signal the end of your heart chakra meditation.
