About this session
- Releases old hurt
- Opens the heart
- Builds self-love
- Softens the body
Nalaya Chakana guides you to settle in, rest a hand on your chest and one on your belly, and call to mind a single person who still touches your heart. You sense where the feeling sits in your body, then pair each inhale of love with an exhale that sends the stuck feeling out into the universe.
It suits anyone carrying an old relationship, a lingering ache or a guarded heart, and anyone hoping to feel ready for love again. Because it ends in stillness and warmth, it fits the quiet hours of the evening, when you have space to feel without hurrying.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Who am I meant to picture during this meditation?
You are invited to think of one person who is still affecting your heart today. It could be someone you cherish or someone from the past you may never see again. You visualize their face and let whatever sensations, emotions or memories arise, without steering them.
Why does the meditation call people teachers?
It suggests that the people you have loved, or missed love from, are teachers you chose to learn from. Their lessons were meant to bring wisdom, not to shut you down or make you distrust. Seeing it this way makes it easier to let go of the protection around your heart.
What are the hands for?
If you wish, you place one hand on your heart and one on your lower belly, beneath the navel. It helps you breathe into the moment and feel softened and opened. Later you may also use your hands to guide the stuck energy out of your body.
How does the releasing breath work?
First you sense where the blockages sit in your body and heart. Then you inhale love and exhale, sending the stuck energy out into the infinity of the universe. You repeat this, with the words love and release, until you feel free, liberated and light.
What happens after the release?
You pause in silence and notice where in your body you feel a difference. Then you are invited to fill the cleared space with love: your doubts, your fears and any places of pain. The session closes on the idea that your heart is made to dare to love.
What does it mean that love is both the poison and the cure?
The track says love can make us crumble in agony and rise in ecstatic bliss. It is also what leads us to build barriers, and what can move us past the stories that sabotage what we want most. The point is that love is your greatest power, even when it has hurt.
