Introduction:

This session guides you through a full Heart Space Expansion practice.

It blends tantra, breathwork, mindfulness, mantra, visualization, and Internal Family Systems-style inner connection to support healing and integration.

We begin with a gentle hand-to-heart warmth practice, then add a visualization of a light or flame growing in the heart space. We also introduce the mantra “Ham Sa” (or “Love / Trust”).

From there, we move the flame through the body in rhythm with the breath, letting heart-space energy connect with every part of you, including the places where the past is still holding on.

We close with a full heart-space expansion, visualizing the flame extending to surround your entire body, and ending with the words: ‘May I always find refuge in my heart, may I always be self-led, may I always remember I can heal and regulate myself.

Goal:

To reconnect with the heart space (Self) and use that connection to heal and integrate.

Summary:

Place a hand on the heart.

With the breath, visualize the heart space as a flame, light, or energy growing stronger and brighter.

Entrain (add) a mantra of your choice and connect the movement of the flame to the breath

Send this energy to each part of the body and to a part of the past that is holding on.

Expand this energy to the entirety of your being

Add the intention behind the words, ‘May I always find refuge in my heart, may I always be self-led, may I always remember I can heal and regulate myself.

Progression:

During this practice visualizations, images, connections, insights and other inner awareness and physical sensations may arise. Explore and accept them all with compassionate curiosity and calm confidence.

Whatever arises, offer it loving connection with the suability, delicacy, and persistence of the breath.
