The Heart Knows — A Meditation on Self Love, Grief, and Expanding What You Carry

The heart has been keeping you alive through everything. Through every hard season, every loss, every moment you were not sure you would make it through. Today's meditation starts there, with gratitude for the heart that stayed, and then moves into the practice of expanding love outward from whatever you can already love without effort, filling the room, the home, reaching the mountains in the east and the water in the west.We open with research from the HeartMath Institute on the heart's electromagnetic field and what heart coherence actually does physically, alongside Dr. Cheryl Woods-Giscombé's research on how emotional suppression specifically affects Black women's cardiovascular health. Then we drop into the guided practice with live crystal singing bowls and five rounds of intentional breathwork over the Shruti box.This one is for every heart that has been giving more than it has been receiving.Find me on Instagram, Threads or Twitter @darrynkrobinson.
