The heart chakra, or Anahata in Sanskrit, is located in the center of the chest and is associated with love, compassion, and self-acceptance.

This ritual is a simple but powerful tool to help you connect with your Heart Chakra and cultivate self-love:

• Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.

• Begin by taking a few deep breaths and focusing on your breath.

• Place one hand on your chest, above your heart, and the other hand on your stomach.

• Close your eyes and visualize a bright green emerald light emanating from your heart. Imagine this light growing brighter and brighter as you breathe in and out.

• Repeat the following affirmation to yourself: I love and accept myself fully and completely, I open my heart to receive love and give love

• Continue to focus on your breath and the green emerald light for a few minutes, allowing yourself to feel love surrounding you.

• When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes.

Remember to be kind to yourself, be patient and compassionate with yourself during the process.
