Healing Lesson of the Day

<previous> <next>
Do this heart chakra exercise daily to improve your intuitive skills communicating with the animal kingdom.

Choose an animal or bird that you see all the time either in your backyard or while you are walking. While observing one individual open your heart chakra by tapping around the center of your chest in a counter-clockwise direction with your finger tips. Ask that individual to teach you--to share wisdom, insights and feelings.

Listen with your Heart - Observe with your Eyes - Feel with your Body

What do you feel this animal is saying? Keep a written journal of your experiences, incorporate sketches and doodles, and research that particular species. You might be surprised at the insights you receive, but more importantly you will be exercising your intuitive skills and learning to trust yourself. squirrel photo © David McNew / Getty Images
