Energizing the Heart


"The Heart Energizing exercising may be practiced in conjunction with or separate from the Heart exercise. Sit or stand in a comfortable position with the hands extended out in front of the chest at the level of the shoulders. The finger tips of each hand should almost come together, but keep a little distance between them. Keep the eyes focused on the tips of the fingers or close them gently. See if you can feel a current of energy flowing between the fingers, from one hand to the other. Hold the arms out in front of you as long as you comfortably can, and keep your concentration on the energy flow. Let the arms relax for a few minutes, then repeat the exercise a total of three times.









"This exercise creates a flow of energy which comes in through the fingers of the right hand, comes across the chest and into the heart, then passes out through the left arm, hand and fingers. As the energy passes through the heart, it strengthens the heart tissue and surrounding blood vessels. If at first you are unable to perceive the energy flow, develop your patience and keep practicing the exercise. You will quickly begin to perceive a tingling sensation in the finger tips. With practice, you will be able to feel the entire circle of energy as it passes through the arms, body and heart. Then you will know that you are building a strong heart." *
