Heart Chakra

Self Care Class

Welcome To The Heart Chakra Self Care Class!

Oh our hearts.

They are the center of our being. They hold all that our life has experienced, just like a book.

The volumes we have learned about love, and the crazy places it’s abundance or the lack therof, have taken us.

The absence can feel crushing & oh that glorious feeling of receiving it!

Our hearts carry so much, everything the mind blots out, the heart always knows.

So powerful are our hearts, that many empaths use this chakra for one of their connection to others in body, as well as the spiritual world. This chakra is tied to clairsentience, or “clear feeling'‘, meaning you are a good reader of the emotions and energy of people around you and which can be extended to feeling the energy of those in spirit.

Self care for our hearts is soooo important, yet we forget to pay attention to what they are saying, we forget to clear them out, & regularly fill them up!

We sometimes fail to realize that emotions weave themselves into our body, our muscles and overall health.

As a massage therapist, I saw countless people hold emotional grief or burdens, manifesting as upper back pain & a tight chest.

We are body, mind and Soul, along with the energy that intertwines these facets of ourselves together.

This Heart Chakra Class will be a series of short videos breaking down self care:

  • Taking inventory & clearing out our emotional energy & baggage.

  • Caring for ourselves physically, by stretching, reflexology & self massage tricks to help upper back & pec tightness & carpel tunnel, or thoracic outlet syndrome.

  • Strengthening our mind and self talk with mantras and reprogramming our thinking.

  • A guided meditation to release, bless and honor our hearts.

Each of us have been through mountains and valleys, especially when it comes to loving ourselves and others.

Let’s break any chains of hurts that are holding our heart shut & release old emotional patterns you are so dang sick of!

Release that burdensome energy you’ve been dragging around, as you love on all that you are, and all that you have been through!

You are an amazing being & the world needs the brightest You, one who is empowered in the face of any hardships or trials your hearts has endured.

Come and love on one of your most sacred & precious jewels of energy within you, your heart.

 
 

Welcome to Class, Introduction

~ Video 01 ~

Ok, are you ready to dive into your heart, the memory keeper of your Soul?

The Heart chakra, in sanskrit known as the  Anahata, resonates with the color green and is one of the biggest teachers.

In life one of our greatest of Soul lessons, that we are continually learning in every phase our life, is the practice of giving and receiving love.

That is the energy of what our Heart chakras hold.

We can tend to store emotional energy, especially heavier emotions in our chest area, for years.

In this class we’ll be talking about how emotions are energy & what they can mean for our heart chakra.

Are you ready to take a little inventory and honor all that your heart has experienced?

Go at your own pace. Grab a piece of paper and let's dive into our hearts!

 
 
 

Emotions Explained As Energy & All That

Baggage Baby.

~ Video 02 ~

Ok, let’s go right to the "heart of the issue" and talk about our emotions!

Google chakras and you can dive deep into the world of your energetic body, it’s a fun world to explore and a practice that can walk with you through out your life.

Everyone has different perspectives and also a lot of the same language and approaches, bu the major thing I like to take away from this type of healing most, is the emotional & physical connection.

You can’t explain our feelings tied to our body, without first discussing energy.

I'll explain how emotions are energy and how they can get stuck in our body, energetic systems & in our mental cycles.

We’ll be covering healthy emotions resonating in a vibrant Heart Chakra, as well as lower emotions such as resentment, grief and loneliness and how they can weigh our hearts down.

This is a great section for healers, caregivers & deep feeling types.

We tend to take on the pain of the world!

Seriously, if you are a big feeler like me (such a crier I am) this is one of the most protective and nurturing ways you can fill your cup back up and release your clients, patients, and the people you care for in the world.

Don’t forget, even through things like news, you can heap on energy from every where, not just people who cross our physical path. Anywhere your heart “goes out to”.

So yeah Sister feelers- chakra healing is a wonderful tool to support you and a great way to release & fill your heart back up.

Believe me, I have worked in home health care & hospice, I’ve worked with animals, was a massage therapist for over 10 years and now women’s Spiritual healing.

All careers revolved around caring for others, let alone my personal life. I have felt the energetic burden in my body, have felt a lot of “sympathy pain” in my life.

The enormity of caring for others has definitely affected me when I was not as conscious as I am now, or times I was working on creating personal boundaries.

Don’t forget too, that when we haven’t felt the love we’ve needed in life, that can be just as heavy!

I'll also be sharing our first self care tool, essential oils.

They are fascinating, in how they work with our physical chemistry, via our emotions!

These plant Spirits are PURE energy!

Mama Earth so knows her shit!

Oils are great energy shifters and help lift and release the heavier emotions we hold on to.

They help to honor our Spirit, can help to teach our mind to speak kindly to ourselves, help to release emotions AND they also integrate within our bodies, to physiologically move the emotion out!

In our next video, we will continue on the emotional train and dive into specific emotions & how we can start to reframe & nurture our Spirit, as we put these concepts into practice.

Let’s hone one of the most powerful things you can teach yourself->

Improving our self talk & thus loving ourselves ourselves more fully.

So juicy & so proud of you Sister, for being on this journey!

I encourage you to wrap your arms around yourself, & hug your heart right now!

 
 
 

Emotional Reframing & Nourishing Our Hearts With Essential Oils

~ Video 03 ~

This part of class will be challenging us to take LOVING inventory of what our heart is feeling, or has felt in the past.

Reflect on your life and write down some of what your heart has been through.

What major experiences have given love to, and also hurt your heart?

What baggage do you think you are holding within you, my friend?

How is your self talk?

All great questions while gauging where our heart chakra is.

Maybe you can also close your eyes and imagine what your heart chakra looks like.

The color of the heart chakra is a vibrant green. What color of green do you think yours is? A bright and brilliant green, of dull, dark and brown and or a mixture?

Maybe you’re like me, as in this video I mention my own heart chakra as this last year I was processing a lot of grief.

There’s a pin point in my heart chakra, that I literally can feel my emotional pain and wounding when I cry. I almost see my heart chakra as a brighter green, but it has a dark spot right in the center of me as I lost my Grandma, my dog and my Dad in 2019!

Moving down my arms, which our hearts chakra extends down into our hands, and out our palms. My energy gets more constricted as it moves through my shouders and down.

(Emotional baggage tends to slump us forward in posture and we can tend to hold tight energy in the front of our shoulders). In our next video we will talk more about the physical nature of the chakra.

At this point, just take some emotional inventory, and imagine what your chakra might look like in your minds eye.

In regards to emotional inventory, also think of ways we catch ourselves speaking in dis-empowering ways, or feeling triggered, like we will never get over our traumas.

Write it down, sweet pea.

And take heart, dear Sister! There is light at the end of the tunnel, let's find a new way to love on our hearts and all she's been through, I will help to teach you ways to get your power back in this class.

Grab your oils if you have them, if you don't no problem- this class will continue to help hold you in many ways, because you have our greatest tool, our mind!

So let's talk which oils we can use, along with some powerful mantras, to lovingly nourish these lower emotions.

Be brave, it’s ok to take a bit of time to be vulnerable and hold space for yourself.

We’ll love on those emotional triggers, begin reframing them & calling our power back!

So glad you are here, Your heart is so worth of this, my friend!

 
 
 

Self Massage Tips For Upper Back Pain

~ Video 04 ~

In Video 4 of our series, we shift perspective and look at our physical body, posture our muscles & how they can create patterns that trap old energy.

We'll talk about how emotional energy can cause upper back pain. As well as how our posture and daily habits can restrict the flow.

As I was saying earlier, we'll talk about how heart chakra energy moves down through our arms and into our hands.

If you have carpel tunnel or thoracic outlet syndrome, in this video & video 5, I will show you stretching techniques and tools to help loosen your arms and hands, the muscles in your chest & back. As we learn to balance out our posture, and help to relieve upper back pain.

I'm happy to be sharing one of my favorite self care tools, massage therapy!

You'll also be learning a lil’ anatomy along the way.

So let's get off our booties and open up the musculature, around these heart chakras!

 
 
 

Heart Chakra Energy & Our Hands

~ Video 05 ~

In most of our chakra series, we had one video focusing on the physical nature of our chakras, but our heart chakra is such a biggie for most, and the concept that the energy flows down to our hands, I decided to dive deeper and cover more on this area.

Literally and symbolically, our hands serve our heart!

However we work with our hands, whether coming into direct contact with touching other people, say if you are a hairdresser or massage therapist. Or if you use your hands in computer work and tedious handwork, the energy flow going down into our hands can be restricted.

Sometimes in a physical musculature type way, and other times from picking up on other people’s energy & it sticking to our hands & then refluxing back up to our heart chakra center. It happens, when we touch people.

Hand Care, and the muscles leading down from our hearts-- to our wrists and hands is so important.

In these video classes, I like to show massage techniques, because massage helps to manually push some of the energy out of our physical bodies!

Many energy healing practices use just meditation, yoga or tools like crystals, smudging etc.. I also love including massage for this reason.

Also, during and after massage, use that beautiful mind to envision light going out of that heart, flowing into your hands and shining out your palms!

You can also do this if you are putting your hands literally on others in your career or in life. (Again, you hairdressers, nurses and people in service type careers).

I'll also touch more on envisioning energy, and tying all these parts of us together, body, mind, Soul & energy, with a powerful guided meditation—

Coming up next!
