Heart Chakra

Heart Chakra

The heart chakra is the center or mid-point of our energy body. It is our electromagnetic core that is both grounding and expansive. Similar in concept to the electromagnetic core of earth it provides stability and protection. The heart chakra releases 60% more electromagnetic energy than the brain. This energy creates our energetic/auric field, just as earth generates the gravitational layer of our atmosphere.

The Sanskrit word Anahata means, “unhurt, unstuck, unbeaten”. Our heart chakra is a resilient and invisible force that is interconnected to all. This is the energetic home of our infinite soul, encouraging us to evolve as humans on earth, by practicing compassion, hope and unconditional love for all.

Flower of Life

11_Heart Chakra - Flower of Life

The flower of life blossoms within our heart chakra, where the Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets are interwoven into one harmonic story. The flower of life is formed by adding a ring of twelve circles to the seed of life. 

These 12 circles represent 12 “moons”, based on an idealized 30-day lunar month in Sumerian astronomy. Twelve 30-day lunar months, equaled a 360-day solar year. Inspired by these 12-moons, the Babylonians divided the night sky into 12, 30-degree sections along the ecliptic, which is defined by the motion of the sun as seen from earth. These 12 “star” sections defined the constellations, and were associated with the 12-moons in a solar year. The Greeks named these constellations the “zodiac”, meaning “circle of animals”.

By combining this ring of 12-circles with the 7-circles in the seed of life, a matrix of 19-interlocking circles is revealed. This is the exact number of years within a Metonic cycle, which was used to synchronize lunar and solar calendars. Named for Meton of Athens, in 432 BCE, it balanced seven long years (13 months) with twelve short years (12 months) to create a 19-year cycle. This helped to synchronize planetary and star calendars that could predict the exact date of the equinoxes and solstices. This union of earthly needs and cosmic guidance helped farmers to understand when to plant and when to harvest. The flower of life is a divine and fertile symbol of this cosmic union. 

There are also 7 independent circles within the 19 interlocking circles. They represent the seven days of the week. Each day, correlates to the seven “classical planets”: Sunday-Sun, Monday-Moon, Tuesday-Mars, Wednesday-Mercury, Thursday-Jupiter, Friday-Venus, Saturday-Saturn.

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) studied the Flower of Life, for he felt it represented the transmutation of the spirit within the earthly body where the soul become “one”. The Tree of Life diagram, known as the Kabbalah in Jewish mysticism, is revealed within the flower of life. The Kabbalah represents the mystical journey of the soul as it descends into human form and then consciously ascends to divine oneness. 

Message: Be open to the hidden wisdom in our soul. This wisdom is becoming more accessible as we begin to see with our hearts instead of our eyes. Just as we appreciate the gifts of others, it is time to appreciate the gifts within us. A bud is never fully realized if it does not blossom.  Now is a time of opening, to honor the person we are becoming.

“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud. Was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anais Nin –

Star Tetrahedron

18_Love - Star Tetrahedron - Heart

The star tetrahedron represents the union of love and strife. Empedocles (c.490–430 BCE) was a Greek philosopher who identified the four classical elements of fire, air, water and earth. He also believed that love attracts the energetic nature of the elements together while strife separates them. 

This union can be seen in push-pull of magnetic energy found in magnets, where magnetic poles (positive and negative) are attracted to each other, while the same poles (positive or negative) if pointing toward each other will be repelled. 

The Yin Yang symbol also reflects this harmony of opposing forces that are forever interdependent, for one cannot exist without the other. 

The star tetrahedron, also known as a Merkaba, consists of two counter-rotating tetrahedrons that have joined together as one. The upward-pointing tetrahedron is symbolic of the sacred masculine (yang) energy of fire andair; while the downward-facing tetrahedron represents the sacred feminine (yin) energy of water and earth. This elemental energy resides within our heart chakra, which generates 60% more electromagnetic energy than our brain. 

These two tetrahedrons also represent the combined energy and insight of the three “earthly” chakras (root, sacral and solar plexus) with the three “ethereal” chakras (throat, third eye and crown). The heart is the core connecting point where are earthly body and ethereal mind join together as one. This joining is the also the place of our soul that senses things beyond what we can see our touch.

We can feel the energy when our heart opens and expands in the presence of profound love, we can also feel it when our heart closes when we are surrounded by chaos or fear. Our heart can sense love and strife without saying a word, it will often react before our mind is able to comprehend what is happening. This is why it is so important to practice seeing with our heart instead of our eyes. 

Message: Love and strife are both influencing our life right now. Allow this flow to occur and become conscious of what needs our attention. If you are feeling unbalanced or disconnected take the time to listen deeply to what your heart is saying. Making peace within ourselves is the most important act of love we can give to others.

“Love is not a thing to understand. 
Love is not a thing to feel. 
Love is not a thing to give and receive. 
Love is a thing only to become and eternally be.”

 – Sri Chinmoy

Conscious Self

Flower of Life

The heart is the place of the conscious self that knows that the self and soul are one.

The conscious self acknowledges the journey that the self is on as well as the presence of the soul. 

This place where the self and soul are one resides in the heart that generates an electromagnetic field that is 60 times greater than the brain. This subtle yet powerful energy field is a sensory organ that has the ability to learn, remember and make independent decisions. The conscious self, engages the heart in an ongoing dialogue between the self and the soul.  

Being conscious of our self requires compassion and non-judgment as we open our heart to see ourselves as one.

To be one is to be whole, and to be whole is to be “holy”. The root word for “holy” is “hāl“, meaning whole, sound, healthy, entire, complete in Old English. It is based on the Proto-Germanic word “hailagaz” meaning “holy or bringing health”. 

Seeing and feeling ourself as whole is healthy for our mind, body and soul. By embracing the multi-dimensional aspects of our self and our soul we ground our self in the core of our being within the heart. The heart understands what the mind may not yet be able to comprehend. 

This broader perspective of who we are opens us to unlimited possibilities within the realm of our heart. Here we can feel safe to see the world with new eyes and a more expansive perspective. We can dream our world into being by freeing ourselves from the constraints of our earthly body an seeing the world through the eye of the soul. This ability to be in our body while we soar with our soul helps us to feel more alive.

Message: Become more conscious of ourself by connecting deep within our heart.  See with our heart instead of our eyes. Trust the inner voice of our soul and connect to our true self. Embrace life and all of its potential. Be fully aware of any opportunities that may be unfolding for us now.

“To have an open heart is to be fully awakened and truly alive.” – Vito Santana

Soul Essence

Soul Essence

The Soul’s Essence is love, which is shared through the silent language of the heart. The essential nature of being human is to share our life with others. Our soul transcends ordinary reality by communicating our thoughts without words. 

Flowers also have a silent language, which were used to convey secret messages that could not be spoken in public. 

Roses hold a special place in our hearts for they are ancient symbols of love and beauty. Roses have been associated with goddesses such as Isis (Egyptian), Aphrodite (Greek) and Venus (Roman) along with the Virgin Mary in Catholicism. 

The Latin word rosarium, meaning “a garland or garden of roses” inspired the naming of the Catholic rosary, as a “garden of prayers.” Prayer beads made from crushed rose petals, rosewood or other materials are used to enhance devotional prayers or meditation in various spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam.  

The essence of rose is the most precious essential oil on Earth. It takes 30 roses to make one drop of essential oil.  

Roses symbolize love, passion and peace.

Message: Visualize the soul as a flower bud located in the heart chakra that can open or close depending on what it feels. By listening to the silent language in our heart we can discern what is truly happening around us. Our soul’s true essence is to be loved and to share that love with others. Embrace our soul’s essence as we release, renew, rebirth and rejoice in the life and love we are sharing!  

“If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.” – Terri Guillemets
