Heart chakra
Heart chakra meditation
The heart chakra — Anahata, at the center of the chest — is the traditional seat of love, compassion, and connection: to others and to yourself. Heart chakra meditation rests warm attention there to open and balance it. Whether you hold it as energy work or gentle self-compassion practice, Mynded guides you there softly.
What the heart chakra governs
In yogic tradition, the heart chakra bridges the lower, grounding centers and the upper, spiritual ones — the meeting point of body and spirit. It's associated with love, compassion, forgiveness, and openness. When it feels blocked, connection and self-kindness can feel hard; resting attention there is a way to soften and reopen it.

- Sit comfortably and rest a hand over the center of your chest.
