About this session
- Softens heartache
- Eases held tension
- Builds self-trust
- Invites acceptance
Nalaya Chakana guides you to sit and picture a sweet golden light settling over you from above, then travelling down your body through each energy centre, from the head to the base of the spine. Next you search for where the hurt lives and pair every breath with a single word: soften.
This is for anyone living with the end of a relationship, or any loss that has left the chest heavy. It suits the quiet hours of the evening or late at night, when distractions fall away and feelings rise. You don't need to feel better by the end; you only need to be willing to stay.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the word "soften" for?
It is the only instruction you follow with the breath: breathe in, soften, breathe out, soften. It gives your mind one simple thing to do while you stay with a painful sensation, so you aren't bracing against it. The session says that simply allowing a feeling to be felt lets it ease, and possibly even dissolve.
Is the aim to breathe the pain away?
No. Nalaya says clearly that the goal is not to breathe away the pain, and that there is no goal other than feeling what needs to be felt. If it isn't time for the pain to go, you let it stay. You can repeat the practice for as long as you need.
Why does the meditation move through the whole body if it is about the heart?
The golden light passes through the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root centres first. That lets you notice where you are holding tension. The session reminds you that a broken heart doesn't mean only the heart hurts, so you go to whichever place in your body aches, then to a second one.
What does it mean that your pain "demands you to listen"?
The track treats pain as something with meaning, not a problem to cover with a bandaid or a quick fix. It asks you to honour and acknowledge what is there, and says that only then can it naturally turn into wisdom. Listening here means staying present with the feeling instead of avoiding it.
What happens when I reach the heart in the second half?
You rest your attention in the heart, follow your breath and, if you can, listen for your own heartbeat. The session describes the heart's power as trust, love and openness to face what needs facing. You then call back the golden sweetness from the start and let it fill the heart, with the line that your courage dissolves fear.
What is the idea behind "break your heart in order to love again"?
Near the end, the track invites you to see the heartbreak as part of a path: breaking free, breaking open and breaking away from what no longer serves you. It's an invitation to find meaning, not a demand to feel positive. You can take it or leave it and simply keep breathing.
