Cures and how to balance:
- Wear green clothing or jewelry

- Yam chant- sound
- Repeat the affirmation in your head “I am open to love” during meditation

What I do: I Light a candle, place my emerald stone on my alter, and put rose oil on my wrists. I then set my timer for 12 minutes. I take a comfortable seat on my pillow, sit up nice and tall pressing the shoulder blades down the spine and close my eyes. I then place my hands in Abhaya Hridaya Mudra. I take 5 deep breaths and start chanting the affirmation “ I am loved, and I am open to love” in my head. There are many different affirmations you can chant but this is my favorite one.
Stay tuned for next week moving on to the Throat Chakra!
