Day 12 - 40 Day Sadhana

Today’s element is air. The element of the heart chakra. Did you know that our heart chakra’s electromagnetic field is 100 times stronger than any other part of our energetic body? It is the center of your deep bonds with other beings, your sense of caring and compassion, your feelings of self-love, generosity, kindness, and respect. Today’s practice is to pick a heart chakra affirmation or mantra, which I have listed below. Also below is a voice memo from me explaining our meditation practice including a mantra or affirmation.

Read below through the affirmations and mantras until one calls out to you. If you need help with pronunciation please contact me, I would love to help. After you have chosen your mantra or affirmation, write it down, set you meditation timer for 5 minutes and try one point meditation with mantra. (The voice memo goes deeper into the explanation of this practice.

There are 84 meridians on the roof of the tongue that are stimulated through Sanskrit mantra, and scientific evidence shows that mantras can facilitate the release of secretions that strengthen our immune and neurological systems.
