About this session
- Eases evening tension
- Opens the heart
- Builds self-love
- Softens hard moments
Nalaya Chakana guides you through a twelve-minute evening practice that treats love as a choice you can make on purpose. You travel through the body from head to feet, let go of tension with long sighs, then rest your attention in your heart and use your breath to widen it, past where it feels comfortable.
It suits the end of a day that felt full, rushed or heavy, when you want to set it down without judging it. Use it in the evening or late at night as part of winding down, or any time you want to come back to your heart after something difficult.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the meditation begin with a body scan?
Nalaya says she wants you connected to your body and senses so you can receive the meditation fully. She moves your attention from your head, the muscles behind your eyes, jaw, neck and shoulders, down through your back, chest, abdomen and pelvis, to your legs and feet. Then you take a long inhale and release tension with a sigh, three times in all.
What does it mean that love requires strength and courage?
The meditation calls love a paradox: the greatest fragility and the greatest power in one. You reach that strength through vulnerability and surrender, by letting go of what you grip in order to have it all. It is an invitation to stay soft rather than guard your heart.
What am I asked to do with the challenging part of my day?
After recalling something that made you smile and something you appreciated about yourself, you are invited to send that heart vibration toward a situation or interaction that was difficult. You use your breath to open the heart further, so what made you contract can soften and expand. Nothing needs fixing; the aim is to allow it as it is.
What is the idea of expanding your heart past your comfort edge?
Near the end you keep breathing and let the feeling of love expand, and expand again. When you reach the edge of what feels comfortable, you go just a little further, more and more. It is a gentle stretch of how much love you allow yourself to feel.
What does choosing to be in love mean here?
The phrase repeated is allowing all that is as it is, loving all that is by choosing to be in love. Love is treated as a way of looking at life, the lens of the heart, rather than a feeling that depends on circumstances. You are invited to see even chaos through it.
Why is this one set for the evening?
The closing idea is that love is magnetic, and that by ending your day in love you fall asleep in love and wake up in love. The track is built to wrap up the day, so it works best as the last thing you do before bed.
