Hi Shari,

The heart chakra meditation, with a little practice, will begin to quiet the
mind as well as work on the chakra--as any meditation will. Like anything
else, the more you practice, the more proficient you will become. I know
it's hard right now, but just have a little patience with yourself.

That should work just fine. Pink and green are the traditional colors of the
heart chakra. Sometimes I envision the energy like clear water, sometimes as
a small lightning bolt, somtimes as a little tornado of cleansing energy.
Whatever has the most significance for you will have the best effect. You
may eventually find yourself using different visualization at different
times. Just be sure that you work the energy completely through the body--in
at the sternum and out through the back of the spine for the greatest effect.
Like I said, go slow and stop if any discomfort begins to develop.

In the beginning it will be easiest to do in a meditative state. But, as you
become more proficient at calming the mind you will be able to do it anytime.
 Each time you practice the heart chakra meditation, finish the process by
offering your now open heart to God/dess with the thought "Not my will, but
thine, be done. Accept what ever comes. Have no fear. The divine energy
will not give you more than you can handle.

Keep you mind focused on God/dess and just let go. It's difficult to put
into words. There really aren't any words in our language to describe what
this feels like. Something like--your holding a bowl of candy out to a
friend, allowing them to take whatever peice or peices they desire--though
this really doesn't do it justice. It could also be compared to giving
yourself to a lover, the mental state seems similar to me. Only you're not
surrendering physically, you're surrendering emotionally. You have to be
willing to have your emotions respond strongly, even if it hurts some.
Emotional issues will then be able to float to the surface and be washed
away. Again, with practice, this becomes more easier.

havoc

Let me suggest that you make some time for yourself. Go to a park or
somewhere quiet. Promise yourself that you are not going to let any of
relationship problems interfere with your sense of peace for just one hour.
Enjoy your quiet time. No thoughts of relationships, jobs, family or
anything. Wander around. Touch a tree. Watch the birds feeding or bathing
in the water. Let these things absorb your attention for this one hour. If
you have a dog, leave him at home this time. This time is for you and no one
else. Then at the end of that hour, take this sense of peace and who you
really are back into the relationship. Keep centered on this feeling when
disputes arise. This will bring some mental clarity for you.

I have no qualifications as a couselor of relationships. Holly is a trained
professional counselor for whom I have great respect. She may have a few
more words of wisdom on this topic.

Much love an best wishes,

Jason B
