The Ultimate Guide to Heart Chakra Healing For Complete Beginners 💗

  The  heart chakra  for thousands of years has been known as the center of love, unity, and balance. When was the last time you felt open, receptive, forgiving, accepting, generous, and connected to both yourself and other people? This was most likely when your heart chakra was healthy and balanced. However,  if you chronically experience a sense of social isolation, loneliness, resentment, bitterness or fear, you likely have a blocked heart chakra. There are many causes of a blocked, suppressed or stagnant heart chakra. Some of the most common life experiences that impair the heart chakra include experiencing physical or emotional abuse as a child, being raised by an emotionally cold or narcissistic parent, being denied affection and love growing up, adopting unhealthy societal beliefs surrounding love, and developing self-destructive habits that block the giving and receiving of love. This guide will help you initiate your own unique process of heart chakra healin...

3 Exercises to Do at Your Desk Every Day

With all the time we spend driving, typing, scrolling, and swiping, we hold lots of tension in our bodies. To relieve the stress of daily activity, try doing these exercises for five to 10 minutes several times a day, especially if you sit at a desk most of the time. Regular practice can greatly improve your energy level, increase your sense of calm and relaxation, and enhance your overall well-being.

  1. Squeeze your shoulder blades gently together. This will release the tension in the muscles known as the rhomboids. Hold for at least one minute.
  2. Put both hands on the back of your head and pull your head forward until you feel a slight stretch. Gently push backward into your hands for five or six seconds; then pull your head forward into a deeper stretch. Do the same from side to side, pulling your head to one side using the palm of the hand on that side.
  3. Gently twist your palm, using the other hand to help, so that your thumb faces down. Hold for at least one minute. This will release tension in the elbow and wrist.

Here are three more tips for keeping your body healthy and posture aligned at work:

  1. Sit with your feet slightly turned in. This will take strain off the low back and the knees.
  2. Sit with a pillow placed in the lumbar curve. This is just above your hip bones. The pillow should be thick enough to bring your head back over your shoulders and open the chest. This position should feel comfortable. This will contribute to overall good posture and alleviate neck and back pain.
  3. When sitting at your desk, keep your elbows by your side. Arms should be bent about 90 degrees. This will also help alleviate neck and shoulder pain.

Ayurveda for Moving into Spring 🌺

     According to Ayurveda, one of the keys to maintaining health is to practice ritucharya—seasonal routines.

Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise . One of the best practices to minimize the heavy quality of kapha in the mind and body is to wake with the sun (around 5:30 am this time of year). Dawn is ruled by vata and is light, clear, and subtle. Get moving. When kapha is dominant in the day, the muscles are strongest between 6:00 and 10:00 am. Get outside for a brisk walk or do some vigorous yoga to melt away excess kapha. Kapalabhati pranayama is a great way to stoke the fires of digestion. Eat lighter foods. In the winter months, we naturally gravitate to...
