the fourth chakra is the heart chakra. not much explanation needed. it's about love. the emotional seat of the body.
today, for me, is about forgiveness. yesterday I let go of some ideas and things that kept me tied to someone long after we had parted ways. and I felt incredibly free of it for the first time in a very long time. I even had amazing things happen immediately after. but last night I realized that while I had released, finally, I had not yet fully forgiven.
and forgiveness is about love. and to forgive anyone we have to forgive ourselves at the same time.
I've found this Hawaiian forgiveness ceremony to be deeply healing. you can do it alone or with others. I feel like it works even if you just read it over in silence. just make sure that you're on the list so that you can forgive yourself.
