Happy Valentine's Day

I'm thinking about the connection between our palms and heart.  There are energy centers in our palms that correspond with our heart chakra.  Think about the way you express yourself with your hands - reaching out to comfort a friend, illustrating your emotions with your hands when talking, or throwing up a "talk to the hand" block.  Think of all the healing practices that involve the use of hands.  One of my favorite practices (learned from my teacher Felicia) is to lay back with my arms resting wide open, palms facing up and visualizing my inhale coming in through my palms, moving up my arms, and flowing into my heart.  When I exhale I send my heart breath throughout the rest of my body, or to any parts that need extra support and love that day.  If you're visual  you can imagine this moving breath and energy being a beautiful emerald green (colour of the heart chakra) or whatever colour or image comes to you naturally.  The reverse is to send that energy from the heart, down the arms and out through your hands creating something beautiful.
