Empathy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first benefit of an open heart chakra is that you become a more empathetic person and improve your relationships. You also become more grounded in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Sense of Ease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second benefit is that your life has a sense of ease. As the heart opens,&nbsp; the mind becomes more peaceful and relaxed. The things that seemingly once were upsetting or difficult, cease to become such a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The third benefit of an open heart chakra is that others tend to gravitate toward you. Your presence is relatable and enjoyable. In a sense, when you open your heart, your life becomes more social.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Positive Outlook <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth benefit is that when you open the heart chakra, your mindset changes. Instead of getting upset when something bad happens, you appreciate the good parts of the situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth benefit of an open heart chakra is that as you become a positive, more vibrant person, the kinds of people who are attracted to you are responding better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-guided-meditations-to-open-the-heart-chakra\">Two Guided Meditations to Open the Heart Chakra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the five benefits of an open heart chakra, you can start to open your heart. We share two guided meditations below. Simply relax, follow along, and cultivate more love and compassion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to do these meditations every day for at least six or seven weeks\u2014and see how your  life will change for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Breathe in and breathe out. Do this five or six times.&nbsp;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To begin the visualization, imagine that your heart is like a beautiful golden sunflower, a vibrant, smiling flower. Allow this flower to grow and get as big as your whole body. Imagine it growing even bigger. Now imagine your heart growing as big as the town you live in and then imagine it grows even bigger. Take this one step further by imagining your heart grows as big as Earth. <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With your expansive and beautiful heart, begin to think of two people. Someone you like and someone you are fond of. Imagine that your heart is sending love into their hearts like a ray of light. Do this for five minutes.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think of someone you like a little bit less. Someone in the neutral category. Follow the same process as the previous step. Imagine your expansive heart sending a ray of love into their heart. Continue this for a few minutes.&nbsp;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, you bring to mind someone you don&#8217;t especially like. Someone you don&#8217;t necessarily want to be around. Try to send love to them in the same way as previously. By sending love to this person, you expand your sense of love.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
