Open your heart at least once a day
Caring for the heart is the path of the Anāhata Chakra. The heart suffers from poor nourishment, lack of movement, mental imbalance, and neglected spiritual practice. Prāṇāyāma, walking, and specific āsanas support the heart. Modern dietary conceptions cannot compare to the natural wisdom of traditional living and nourishment, such as a grandmother's kitchen using remedies like Triphalā. The heart is divine and pure, with the Anāhata Chakra possessing a beautiful color that opens into blue. This chakra is a leading power supporting Self-realization. Its twelve petals represent qualities like joy, peace, and bliss. When the heart opens without fear, one feels divine and meditation is best. Buddha's practice of passive meditation led to a realization of nothingness, illustrating the play of consciousness between ignorance and knowledge. Detachment, or Vairāgya, is essential to achieve the absolute. Engage in the world without becoming stuck in its attachments.
"Prāṇāyāma is the best, walking is the best. And these particular āsanas—not all—which circulate the blood circulation in a proper way."
"At least once a day, our heart should open completely. That time you will feel divine, and your meditation will be the best."
