Your heart is more than a muscle—it’s energy guides us to safety and connection. 

In this guided meditation, you’ll be invited to focus on your heart center, noticing how it responds to the emotions you carry. 

You’ll explore how it feels in interpersonal moments when you’ve felt disconnect or difficult emotions towards someone else. And you’ll be guided to notice sensations around the heart, navigating the desire you may have to connect, and also to protect.

This practice is inspired by the Fire Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Fire governs joy, intimacy, and expression—but when it flares too hot or dims too low, we may feel burned out, reactive, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Rather than forcing resolution, this meditation offers a gentle path back to presence and emotional regulation.

Through breath, visualization, and subtle awareness, you’ll tend to your own inner flame—learning to feel connection without losing yourself, and to soften the defenses that keep love at a distance.

By the end, you may feel more open, more centered, and more able to meet others—and yourself—with clarity and compassion.

Take a breath. Let the heart lead. Begin.
