How to Open Your Heart Chakra
The best way to open your heart chakra is to find a comfortable position where your back is supported and then focus on your breathing. Once you're relaxed, notice any negative feelings you're experiencing without judging yourself for them. Try to let go of those negative feelings and replace them with feelings of compassion and acceptance. You can also hold a heart chakra stone, like jade or green calcite, in your hand while you meditate.
