The Heart Lock-in Steps of the Heart Lock-in
(read slowly several times before starting)
- Gently shift your attention to the area around your heart.
- Shift your breathing so that you are breathing in through your heart and out through the solar plexus.
- Activate a genuine feeling of appreciation or care for someone or something in your life.
- Make a sincere effort to sustain feelings of appreciation, care or love while radiating them to yourself and others.
- When you catch your mind wandering, gently focus your breathing back through the solar plexus and reconnect with feelings of care or appreciation.
(After you're finished sincerely sustain your feelings of care and appreciation as long as you can. This will act as a cushion against recurring stress or anxiety)
