Heart Awakening and Total Love Practice This practice takes you through core principles and discoveries about your heart and a deep process that allows you to shed heartbreaks from the past or times when you didn’t get the connection you needed growing up, as well as restore the beauty and goodness of your heart. You will also get strong empowerment from your capacity to love, to really deeply connect with others in a full-bodied and loving way.

Body meditation Starting with a body meditation is super key because it allows you to tap into the felt-sense. You are feeling for any arising sensations in your heart, chest and breasts, such as: • Tingles • Softness • Sharpness • Expansion • Contraction • Warmth • Coolness • Pressure As you feel for these arising sensations, moment to moment, speak them out loud because that connects your cortex with your feeling mind, giving you a full body and brain integration which is very powerful for opening a space of connection and truth.

Throughout the whole practice, even after you’ve finished the body meditation part, keep tuning in to the felt sense, i.e. what you are feeling and sensing in  your heart, heart, chest and breasts. breasts. If you get knocked out from the feeling, that is generally because you have a psychic or physiological wound that your body senses being too intense for you to feel at the moment. When you get thrown out of the felt sense, just gently move back into it instead of pushing or judging yourself. Lovingly and with compassion, gently soften back into the felt sense as much as possible. If you notice that is impossible for you to go there, just keep noticing that and it will come over time. By doing that, you create the connection, sensitivity and safety so your body eventually lets you into felt sense.

Heart/breath process

Lying down, you’ll do a fast inhale through the nose and a relaxed exhale through the mouth. It’s a connected breath, meaning there is no pause between the inhale and exhale. This oxygenates the body and takes down the cortical control, allowing you to feel more sensitized and more connected to the felt sense inside of your body. This process may be a little too intense to guide a client through, unless they are really ready for a powerful awakening. It is more for you to feel deeper into  your heart heart and explore explore it in a profound profound and and connected connected way. way. Do 30 rounds of inhaling and exhaling, then take a deep and full inhale and hold your breath as long as you can without feeling uncomfortable while feeling into the center of your energetic heart, right in the center of your chest. Feel the love, the spaciousness and whatever else is in there. In this breath, you are specifically focusing on opening the chest and the heart, and not on a full body breath or your belly.

8 Directions Breath In the soft expansion in the 8 Directions Breath, take a full inhale and feel a ball of energy of love right at the center of your chest. As you inhale, you are expanding your chest in the eight directions – forward, back, side to side and diagonally out on the front and back – giving you a full expansion of this sphere of love and energy inside of your chest. You are also physiologically expanding  your chest which which releases releases tension from the the ribcage ribcage and counter counteracts acts any any collapses of the chest. As you inhale you are going to feel an expansion and empowerment of your love, and as you exhale you are going to send and radiate that love, like a liquid, tangible love, throughout your whole body to every cell and bone. Key points: • You are really going for a full expansion of the chest • It’s a slow, relaxed and softening exhale • Feel the love move

Sounding the felt sense When you sound on the exhale, you are not trying to make a sound by thinking what sound should come out from the heart, but rather as you inhale you get the felt sense in the heart and as you exhale you sound out the felt sense. Sometimes it will be a soft, subtle felt sense and other times you will get a discharge of trauma and disconnection within your nervous system and heart, and the sound and the movement of your body will reflect both types of felt sense. The sounding and the movements come from allowing them to happen, rather than you creating them. Don’t question it, just allow it to happen. Through this process, you can release deep layers of heartbreak, abandonment, disconnection, pain and all kinds of stuff.

Key points: • You are inhaling and exhaling through the mouth to really open the felt sense in the body • The sounding and movements will change and be different from time to time • Don’t get lost in the story or the memory that you experience during the breathing, instead connect to the felt sense, the sensations and feelings in the body • The story can be re-traumatizing • Go underneath and beneath the sensations, to reach deeper and deeper layers

Body Free Flow You will still have a connected breath, through the mouth, and still sounding, but add an exploration of movement with the felt sense. Your hands, arms and shoulders have a really strong connection to your ability to give and create things in a way that is deeply connected to your heart. As you continue breathing and sounding, you will explore movements with your hands, and then including your arms and shoulders and eventually legs as well. You are staying with the felt sense and letting your body explore the freedom of allowing all movements, while staying connected to the breath. During this process you will also be invited to repeat these words inside your mind: • Safety • Softness This grounds your nervous system in feeling the possibility to connect and express the feelings of the heart while being safe and staying soft. As you go into the exploration, it is a safe space for you to feel, sound, breathe and express that which allows you to really explore what is inside the heart, and how to work with the felt sense of the heart.
