Heart-Center Clarity Breath

Position

Seated upright or lying face-up

Breathing Pattern

INHALE through the nose

EXHALE through the nose

Intention

Bring awareness to the heart-center. Connect breath with heart rhythm. Peace and Clarity.

Practice

Place your left palm over your heart-center (middle of chest/sternum)

Place your right palm directly on top of your left palm

Close your eyes and bring awareness to your heartbeat

Feel the rhythm of your heart beneath your hands

Begin to breathe slowly and deeply through your nose

With each inhale, imagine drawing breath directly into your heart-center

With each exhale, feel your shoulders and chest relax

Continue breathing, syncing your breath with your heartbeat

Feel the expansion in your chest with each inhale

Feel the gentle contraction with each exhale

Stay present with this connection between breath and heart for several minutes

Allow thoughts to pass without attachment, returning focus to the heart-center

This practice helps develop heart coherence and brings the nervous system into balance. By focusing on the heart-center, we create a bridge between the mind and body, finding clarity through the wisdom of the heart.
