Heart and Lung Meditation by Kari
Lay or sit in a comfortable position.
With your eyes soft,
gently close your eyelids.
Gaze downward and inward
towards your third eye (between the eyebrows).
With your yoga gaze (drishti),
light up the void within,
like turning a headlamp toward your inner world,
and illuminate what is perceived as darkness.
Touch your hands to the fourth chakra (heart and lungs).
Begin soft nostril breathing (ujjayi breath),
consciously breathing in oxygen
and
consciously breathing out carbon dioxide.
*See your heart pumping blood (imagine the color, red)
throughout the body,
and bathing the places within
that specifically need healing.
See the carbon dioxide-rich, oxygen-poor blood (imagine the color, blue)
recirculating back to your lungs.
Breathe the carbon dioxide
that recirculated back to your lungs,
out into the atmosphere (air).
See the trees reaching out their branches and leaves
and receiving that carbon-dioxide.
With the process of photosynthesis
the trees transform carbon-dioxide back into oxygen.
Consciously, breathe in
the oxygen from the trees.
See your lungs
re-filling your blood with more oxygen
then
transporting this tree-given, oxygen-rich blood
back to your heart.
