Heart Chakra Meditation, Balancing & Healing Course Syllabus:
The following describes the 3 sections comprising the 45 minute daily yoga and meditation session for this class. The approximate total times for each section and set are also given. Take more rest if you need to, or if you feel comfortable do the poses and exercises a little longer. Each breathing exercise, Kundalini Yoga Kriya and Guided Meditation technique below is a link to the article with all the details you need.
Heart Chakra Meditation, Balancing and Healing Class: Each day for 1 week do the following…
Breathing Exercises Section (Pranayama): Total time 3 Minutes
- Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise: 1-3 minutes
Kundalini Yoga Section: Total time 30 minutes
- Spinal Warm-up Kundalini Yoga Exercises: 10 minutes
- Heart Chakra Balancing Kriya: 20 minutes

- So Hum Mantra Guided Meditation Technique: 10 minutes - Do this meditation as described in the article except in addition to the instructions given, keep your attention fixed on the Heart Chakra (middle of your breast bone) throughout the practice. Visualize the breath coming into and out of this center. As you inhale visualize the breath flowing into the Heart Chakra, as you exhale visualize it flowing out of there.
Heart Chakra Meditation, Balancing & Healing Participation Guidelines
Following are the guidelines which I suggest we follow…
- Please post all comments, questions and feedback in the comments section of this post. This way all will benefit from the discussion. Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format. Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.
- If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session. Could be as short as "did it", or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback. The hardest part with a daily yoga and meditation practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily sadhana (spiritual work) will help in facilitating that. In addition, your comments would inspire others as well.
- I will post all information regarding the class in the comments section below as well, so please check periodically for updates.
- Before starting your daily yoga and meditation session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection. At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.
- Do the best you can and modify the class as you require. It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed or not do anything at all.
- I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience.

Hey Anmol,
I have been doing this class about five times a week and have had so much benefit from it. I feel more relaxed, open and compassionate with people, plus have more movement through my upper back and shoulders.
I have been using the balancing kriya in my sunrise (7am) classes, and my students love it1 I also often start my classes with the spinal warm up series.
Your courses are adding so much to my own knowledge, and to my meditation practice in particular. Thank you so much!
I’m moving on to the Anja Class next so will let you know how that goes!
Much joy.

Anmol, I started the 101 class about a week ago and I feel Ive made pretty good progress, but I have noticed that I have more “issues” with my heart chakra than my root chakras. Would it be wise of me to start doing some of the 102 lesson before I have finished the 101 completely? or can I do both at the same time?
Thanks Anmol
on January 30th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Hi,
I just finished doing the 101 course every day for two weeks so now I am going to begin this course.
on January 30th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Each course is independent, so feel free to start the heart center course in parallel or in place of 101. Let me know if you run across any issues.
Best,

Hello again Anmol,
I’m back! I’ve now completed my fourth week and I started this Heart Chakra class this morning. I do have a few questions:
1. In the Healthy Weight Loss class I found that I wasn’t really able to do the visualization. I was able to get the breathing in order, but my mind would really start wandering about the time I visualized the white light reaching my knees. My mind was all over the place. Is this perhaps a sign I’m not really ready for that visualization?
2. I’ve been noticing that doing the Breath of Fire has gotten harder for me to do lately. I feel like I am short of breath…this wasn’t the case a week ago. Any ideas why this is happening?
3. Also, during the meditation exercises, should our breath be audible or silent?
4. I find the camel pose (even the modification) to be quite difficult. Most of the discomfort is in my neck…any suggestions?
Thank you again for all your efforts,
Steph
on February 4th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Here are my thoughts.
1. To modify the visualization, just keep in mind as best you can a perfect image of the body you would like to have while doing 3SRB. This will also accomplish the objective of having the mind impose it’s power over the body.
2. This typically happens when the inhalation and exhalation are not equal. You are exhaling a bit more than inhaling, which then requires you to reset as you run out of breath. Try to adjust that part.
3. The breath should be left alone. As the meditation deepens the breath tends to slow down, become very fine and inaudible, but this should happen naturally. The breath may be audible initially, but just allow it to be as is, and change spontaneously. No need to force a sound or no sound.
4. Need more information? If the back of the neck is uncomfortable, from dropping the head back and then don’t drop it back as much. Let me know more.
Keep Going!
Best,
Anmol

Thanks again for all your help!
With regards to the Camel Pose, I think the biggest problem is that I want it to be easy, and it isn’t ;-)
I guess tilting my head back makes me feel like my breath is restricted…in fact, this morning it resulted in a wheeze.
Are we supposed to be letting our head drop or just holding it back? I’ve been letting it drop and have tried just holding it back but I find this to be even more uncomfortable.
Perhaps I’m having this problem because I have a long neck?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi Anmol,
I’m still at it! I’ve decided to extend the heart chakra course another week as I’m finding it very helpful with my upper body strength.
I posted more information about my difficulties with camel pose earlier, but I can say that it has gotten a little easier. I think my back isn’t so flexible and I’m not used to/wasn’t expecting the intense stretch at the front of the legs. I’m still working on it.
Quick question: with the chest flys should we be drawing our shoulder blades together when our arms are outstretched?
Thanks again!
Steph
on February 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
For Camel’s pose the head is allowed to drop as far back as possible, you will feel a stretch in the front of the neck (throat area). Sometimes it takes a while for the body to adjust to these new postures, so just go slowly see if things open up over time.
To help with the breathing try to keep relaxed once in the posture as best you can.
For chest fly, allow the arms to rotate back as far as is comfortable, without forcing (we always want to be careful with the shoulder joint, which is a complex and delicate joint). So the shoulder blades approach each other as you rotate your arms out, but again only to a point where you comfortable going.
Yes, this set is great for upper body strength. The deltoids/shoulders, pectorals/chest, lats/back are all engaged from various different angles, making for a very good set for the upper body toning.
Great to see your level of committment.
Best,
Anmol
