Meditation on the Hridaya
By Alice B. Clagett
12 September 2016
When neutral mind has not yet been totally achieved, the front funnel of the heart chakra becomes distorted outward when we face other people, whether we are facing just one person or a group of people, say, in a circle. This is because we desire to be loved, which desire is exercised through the front funnel of the heart. We use the front funnel for this purpose simply because our eyes are located on the front of our head, and so, to see people, we face them with both the eyes and the front funnel of the heart.
Neutral mind is achieved by valuing ourselves, and loving ourselves, as much as we value other people’s opinion of us, and their love of us. This self-esteem and self-love are functions of the back funnel of the heart chakra.
To balance the funnels of the heart chakra, during waking consciousness, place the Awareness on the center point of the chest, at the place known as ‘hridaya’, where the front and back funnels of the heart chakra meet. This is a physical meditation that will balance self-love with love of others.

Green spirals of energy are shown, beginning at the center of her chest, at heart level, and growing larger as they spin horizontally out in front of and in back of the woman. These spirals represent the front and back funnels of the heart chakra. Between the two spirals, in the middle of the woman’s chest, is a pink dot representing the hridaya, the hidden inner chamber of the heart chakra.
