Heart Chakra Transcript Module

MODULE 5: Fourth Chakra (Heart Chakra)
Carol:
Hello! I am Carol Tuttle and I do these
monthly programs with Syl, who will be joining us
during the second half and doing the Thai yoga, and
we found this to be a great combination. Weve kind
of laughed between ourselves; weve said, Well,
even if nobody else will benefit we certainly are.
She and I are having a fabulous experience opening
up these energy centers and seeing what shows up
every month as were doing this, cause certainly Im
experiencing it personally in my own life - the
dynamics of working with each of these very
intentionally.
How many of you are here for the first time tonight, if youd
raise your hand? Alright, thats a fairly significant number in
that I dont know if you just found out about it or youve come
here with someone thats been coming, but I want to just
give you a general idea of what these are about.
I am an energy therapist; I work in the field of psychology
which means I work with peoples energy energy of
thought, energy of emotion, masculine energy, feminine
energy, childhood energy theres just a lot of energy
dynamics going on for every human.
And then theres an energy system. And that system is
designed of meridians, which are pathways, energy
pathways; auric field; your Celtic Weave; your basic grid and
another one is the Chakras, which are energy centers that
run up the front and back of the torso and face and head.
And theres seven of them that are the most dominant in our
experience. And of any energy system that we operate in,
theyre probably the most influential on how your lifes
flowing whats showing up, how its showing up
influencing whats manifesting as that energy is vibrated out
and offered, it magnetically draws to you your experience to
these energy centers and work with them consciously, you
become a director and a very conscious operator of your life.

And youre able to tune in and know which Chakra youre

dealing with when certain things are happening in your life.
Work with that energy and alter the way lifes flowing. Its
really powerful way to live.
OUR CHAKRAS / ENERGY CENTERS
Thats probably the most, for women especially, vulnerable
energies, maybe the most inaccessible for males, certain
types of males. And it can be so open that its a detriment to
you cause its not held in enough security, or it can be so
shut that its a detriment cause theres been so many hurts
and damage done to that energy center.
If you think about the energy centers that are above and
below it, those are really critical in this heart center right here
on the chest. Youve got the third Chakra which is your
power and identity operating on the third vortex.
And youve got your Throat Chakra which is all about
knowing your truths speaking it, thinking it, being aligned
with it in your mental and verbal interaction in life. And if
those are weak and you have this really open Heart Chakra,
you dont have the case to hold it in, basically.
You dont have the ability to hold it secure cause you need
your power and identity to operate from your heart and
integrity for yourself and you need your voice to speak
whats true for you.
Otherwise, if your Heart Chakra is really open, thats going to
look like being a people pleaser, a doormat, codependent.
Youre going to operate in those tendencies really heavily
and youre going to be really aware of peoples emotions and
whats going on for everybody else and kind of, you might be
at a point where you dont know your own energy from
someone elses at times.
Especially in significant relationships, cause this stuffs all
mixing together. So you really need to strengthen this and
this, these two energy centers, to hold this heart center. Its
really important that it be connected to the heart cause
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 2
without it, if theres no heart, we tend to be more brutal and

were just more intense than is necessary.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND INSTINCTIVELY
If you dont have this heart center connected to the throat,
you need those connected so that the mind and the heart
work together so youre not just making decisions based on
your heart, that you have some logic and reason and
balance there with your mind.
If youre operating purely from logic and theres no heart,
theres no sensitivity and youre just, its all about whats
logically right.
So these are all connecting for a very
necessary reason that they bring the whole being of a
person together.
Yet, for the most part, theres very few people that have all
systems on go, balanced and functioning. And in any given
day, you might operate different than another day depending who youre with, what youre wearing, what
youve eaten, the space that youre putting yourself in are
all influential.
Cause weve just not been raised to think about hows my
energy doing, how are my Chakras? Are they open, are they
all balanced and flowing? I hope so.
But yet I believe were coming to that to understand the
real quantum nature of who we are, that this is the quantum
self, meaning its the unseen aspect of who we are, its the
vibratory force of our system. And youre a vibration.
I like how Deepak Chopra says, Were a wiggle of
possibilities. But if you looked at us in the universal scale of
our spectrum of being able to see us, were just a little
wiggle, existing here. When things can seem very intense
and overwhelming, Ill remind myself whats the big deal,
Im just a wiggle. Im really making more of this than is
necessary.
So your little wiggle sees either a spastic wiggle attracting a
lot of what you dont want, or its a very calm, you know, very
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 3
balanced, flowing one thats attracting to you a life thats

beneficial and supportive of you feeling joy.
THE HEART CHAKRA
So weve sent out emails about the Heart Chakra, and Ill go
ahead and pass out this clearing script that we put together
every month cause this is information to help you when
youre at this is a take-home tool, pass those out this will
give us a little bit of insight.
The fourth Chakra is also called the Heart Chakra. The
energy of the Heart Chakra influences your experiences with
the following - heart, compassion, love, touch, devotion, its
your emotional zone, self-acceptance, your masculine and
feminine and forgiveness - are really strong for this energy
center.
Its a sacred energy center in that its what basically our
emotional expression or connection with our world comes
through this energy center really strongly.
And if weve been hurt at a young age, our energy will
defend itself or find a way to survive trauma. So it will
actually close itself up. It will barrier itself if its tender and
its not been developed properly.
So that would look like, in a childs life, if you were not a
recipient of loving kind energy and tender words and
expressions mother energy is really strong in this energy
center your Heart Chakra
Thats what feeds the energy center, the validation of a
loving parent, the kind, loving expressions that are received
in the heart that allow that heart to blossom and be open and
to let love flow through it.
HEALING THROUGH YOUR HEART CENTER
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 4
And when weve had the trauma of a childhood, if its been a

traumatic childhood, and weve not come to a place of
forgiveness, we hold those wounds of the past in the heart,
so its like having literally a wounded heart.
Those can be very overwhelming to open up and start to
process and heal. Cause you feel that, you feel this opening
and the pains just so deep, its overwhelming. And its grief.
Theres a lot of grief to clear and we are being given a
chance to clear, especially females, generations of wounded
hearts.
So a lot of what you may be experiencing at that heart center
which is grief, sadness, sorrow I would imagine only 20%
or less is even your lifetime of energy, it goes so beyond you,
that energy needs to be accounted for in your generational
experience. Someone has to bring it into balance, basically.
And if we dont, we just keep recycling it, vibrating it and
recreating the same experience with it. So depending on if
its in relationships It manifests a lot in relationships,
whether theyre spouse, parent-child, mother-child-parent,
will recreate and if you look at your family system and if
there are some unresolved patterns or issues, I would think
you could see and identify similarities if you looked at the
bigger group.
Who else is creating something like unto this, you know
divorces, parent-child discrepancies where children arent
talking. Its going to show up more than just one place. So
we create these marriage themes and these relationship
themes that connect heart stuff.
Its protecting this vulnerable energy cause you dont want to
be hurt again and could be male issues, you know, if you
were hurt by men. So youre very tentative and kind of arms
length. Youll only let someone get so close cause you dont
want to recreate the hurt.
So those are all really key for this energy center. Personally,
Ive experienced pretty much all of what Ive been sharing.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 5
Its how I know it so well. So Ive gotta do a lot of healing of

my heart.
And recently I felt very impressed that to learn to live with an
open heart regardless of how people treat you, youre more
likely going to attract whats good and wonderful, but theres
going to be people in your experience that arent that nice,
okay?
Theyre just hanging out; theyre not that far away. Could be
through somebodys married to somebody maybe youre
married to that person. To learn how to keep your heart
open and allow people their experience cause what we
tend to do without even consciously choosing it is itll like,
close up, like, I dont want to deal with you, I dont want to let
you in.
Its to be in a place of an open heart to let the love flow and
to just notice, wow, look at the experience theyre creating. I
choose a different experience and I choose to be true to
myself, stay in my power, speak my truth, not need to
change anybody, defend myself, just allow, stay in a place of
openness and with the choice of saying I choose to not
spend too much time with you, unless youre married to the
person, then youve got a different scenario going.
I realized I was, due to some relationships that had
developed in our lives some people had come into our
lives that are fairly negative people. They speak all about
what they dont want; theyre very victim-minded.
I didnt want anything to do with these people. I want them
out of my experience. And the lesson for me was can I allow
them to just be a part of my life experience - cause its not
like I have a lot of contact with them and stay open and
loving and still be aware of what the difference, that I want
something much, much different and I dont have to do
anything about their stuff.
I just get to be me and if they want what I have, theyll
certainly at some level be drawn to it and theyll invite
themselves in. And thats a key thing, cause as we start
going after people to try and get them to see this, you know,
or become more aware or more enlightened, or be more
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 6
accountable, if its not coming from the heart, if its coming

from any other Chakra, theyre going to put their defenses
up.
YOUR HEART CHAKRA AND COMPASSION
And if its coming from the heart, you wont care if they
change. You just wont cause youre just okay. Cause love
doesnt require people to be different in order for that love to
be real God-like love, does not require someone to change
in order for us to be expressing that love. Otherwise, God
just couldnt really be loving any of us right now, cause were
all falling short of what He created us for.
So to know yourself thats what Im reminded Im here to
know myself more like my Father in Heaven knows to
become like Christ, to become like the character of God. So
if I cant love somebody because of the way they are playing
out their drama cause I need to protect myself from
somehow that infecting me thats not God-like love, thats
not Christ-like love.
So thats been my lesson over the last couple of weeks. I
thought, oh, good, were doing Heart Chakra stuff right here
at home, you know? Today I got it, I just felt that. I felt like,
oh, I can love you. But you know what? Were not going to
dinner much. We wont be paling up a lot, you know? But if
youre around, hey, Im cool. I can just be me and not need
you to change.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
So that was a great lesson. Any questions or any situations I
can make an application to at this point from what I shared.
Cause what I want to do is help some people. I gave very
little time to that last month and I thought, you know, thats
what Im really good at. I am really good at helping people
shift really pretty quick and identifying where theyre stuck.
But well be based around heart issues this month.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 7
So if its money, thats a different Chakra really. But you

could be heartbroken that youre poor. So I dont know, well
see what shows up.
Any questions to this point?
John:
What about a child who has chosen a totally different path

from what you like?
Carol:
Thats a great question. The question is, What about a child

who has chosen a different path than what a parent will want
for them, and probably being destructive, creating pain and
struggle. Thats like the ultimate in learning this kind of love
cause Gods got planets full of children doing that.
OPEN YOUR HEART CHAKRA TO ACCEPTANCE

And thats a fine line, you know, to be able to love
unconditionally without enabling. Thats where the line gets
divided, this allowing turning into enabling and being an
integrity. Its such a fine line that for every parent, prayer is
your greatest tool to be tutored on almost a daily basis on
how am I to best influence this situation.
If it triggers you, if you get triggered by it, then theres
something within yourself. When you get an emotional
charge be cause it just bugs you what theyre doing, thats
your stuff. Thats what you need to take care of.
Cause, you know, if God were triggered by all of us, Hed be
insane. We all make choices that fall beneath His vision of
who we are and the pain we continue to exist in. And so
thats what you get to do. I gotta own whats mine and how
do I know its mine? I got a charge on it; it really pushes my
buttons.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 8
PARENTING THROUGH YOUR HEART

So thats what I have to clear. And as a clear parent, youre
freer to receive the inspiration we have of what role I am to
play for this child. And weve seen it a lot of different ways.
Our son was making some real painful choices and with his
tendency and personality, the more we forced, pushed or
stood, the more he pushed back.
And so we had to sort of find these indirect ways to reach
him. We have our adopted son whos really, really good on
just saying this is the way its going to be its real black and
white. And he just
sails with that. So you cant respond necessarily the same
way for each child. You gotta get a feel for what shuts them
down, what puts them in their defenses and what opens
them up.
Its like your childs your customer and you get to be the
customer service rep and get to figure that out. Whats
gonna bring them in?
Cause ultimately thats your goal. If you need to be heard,
need to be right as a parent, then youre gonna play it your
way irregardless of how theyre going to be reached and you
may not be successful.
If you want to be successful, then you get to do some
homework and become aware of what does this child
respond to that creates trust, that brings them in, that opens
their heart that connects us at the heart.
And so you may have to do it different than you would prefer
to based on your own personality style or what just is easy
for you, but whats your goal, whats your intention? Do you
want results, do you want something better? Then youll do
it.
I mentioned to John more than he probably likes, to say you
know, if you approached it this way, or if you said it in this
manner, then youre going to open him up and hes going to
engage with you. Do you have anything you want to say
about that, honey?
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 9
John:
You seem to be right.
Carol:
I seem to be right?
Well, I just know what he wants
ultimately is to have some influence. But then what gets in
the way is the need to just be able to say it, he gets it and
with our other son, whos 16, if you just kind of dictate it to
him, he pushes, the walls go up.
If you know how to verbally and energetically come around
and meet him where hes at, hell come right with you. And
thats a result of being very prayerful and really
understanding how my children flow in this life and what are
their defenses that they tend to engage very quickly and
what do I do that triggers them.
What do I want? I want to be a parent that is heard and is a
guide and that has an influence, so Im willing to do the
tricks, work with it and get them to connect with them. And
so far, its worked pretty good because all of our children that
are out of high school
we have three of our five out of high school are doing very,
very well.
Im really impressed with the level of
consciousness they choose to live in and that kind of
accountability they operate in their lives for such young
adults, and they do.
A parent that knows us that has challenges with their
children might say occasionally, Well, you just have really
good children, and I think everybody has really good
children. John and I have done our homework. And we
have.
HEART CHAKRA SELF-WORK

And that homework started with us. The best parenting class
Ive ever taken is doing healing with Carol Tuttle. When I
started to really do that inner child work and understand
what did I, what shut me down, what did I not get that I
needed, it was just apparent to me that thats what my
children need to hear, thats what I need to give my kids.
Thats what I wanted. So its not very complicated. And I do
a lot of things in imagery where I blew it pretty significantly
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 10
as a mother of young children. Thats when the worst of my

worst was processing. So in imagery, through my own
meditation, I go back and I play it out differently. I see myself
as a healthy, available, loving, doting, nurturing mother that
loves to do pre-school in her home, cause I didnt. I take
each one of my kids and I do imageries with them.
For some reason I felt impressed with our son thats serving
a church service mission. I imagine myself as his mom
when he was a little boy.
He got hit pretty hard by my dysfunction and that played out
as some real problems in his teenage years. Hes doing
phenomenally well in his experience right now. And I just felt
prompted to see myself with him as a little boy.
PARENTING IN THE NOW
Does that have an effect?
Yes, because when you
understand the quantum nature of our existence, everything
exists in the now. Its really weird to consider how that
works.
But in Gods existence, everything exists right now, so if I go
back through my mental powers Gods given me and change
a previous experience to be one thats successful, where
love is felt and present and Im validating my child and Im
being that healthy parent, that changes my childs
experience in this now that Im conscious in. Cause it shifts
the energy. I just know that. Thats why Gods given us
minds that can go any direction, if well learn how to use
them.
We can go backwards, forwards, we can go anyplace with
our minds. Its powerful to be able to learn how to just
start Im not taking classes on this. These things come to
me from what I know and the pieces that Ive learned. Ive
said, well, then I can do this. I can go back and change my
childs experience and release the trauma that was created,
as if hed had a loving, doting mother. So I do it.
Audience Member: Can you give an example of how you do that?
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 11
Carol:
The question was Can you give an example of how you do

that? I see my little boy as a 2-year-old running up to me
and Im a healthy, available mom, and I get down on my
knees and I tell him what a wonderful little boy he is and I
love you and what do you have to show me? Completely
devoted and available to him.
The other experience that I am cancelling out was a
screaming, raging maniac mother that freaked this kid out
most of the time that he ran to his room thinking he might
die. Honestly. See, so Im showing up differently in the
imagery, validating him.
In my book I have a chapter on Messages Your Children
Need To Hear.
So Ill think of myself saying those
statements to my children at those different ages theyve
grown up from. Ive done a tremendous amount of work like
this with my own child self.
RE-RIGHT / REWRITE YOUR PAST

Ive taken a bunch of little Carols that were scared, afraid
and angry and theyre breezing now.
Life is just fine.
Theyre like, Hey, were doing great. I had an awesome
childhood cause we reinvented it.
Your selves dont know the difference of what you hold in
your memory bank, okay? They dont know if youve put it
there or you just keep thinking about how it played out. Your
energy cant
distinguish any difference. It doesnt go, no, thats not what
really happened. No, Im buying into that.
Whatever you put your attention on, your energy responds
to. Your whole system responds as if thats accurate. So
you choose what you want to keep in your head.
Audience Member: Do you do specific things that you remember?
Carol:
2010 Carol Tuttle
Do I do specific things that I remember? I have, yes, cause

theres things that, and if theyll tell me, especially if a child
will have a memory of an event where theyre still holding,
Page 12
then we can do that together too. And my kids have done

that.
Audience Member: So you can do it alone or together?
Carol:
Yeah, you can do it alone or together, cause we can go back.

With my oldest daughter, weve done a lot what we call,
these are reframes weve done a lot of reframing the past.
Cause she was the oldest and she has a personality
What she did was shut a lot of herself down and tune into
what does mom need, cause moms not doing well, and so
her parent identity got transferred to if moms okay, then
maybe I can be okay.
She used to, like, get the vacuum out and start vacuuming
because I was just like a freak about having everything
perfect and clean. If my outer world was undone, it brought
up all of my internal stuff. When youve got four kids six and
under and three of those were three and under, its not a
really healthy way to operate if your world have everything
perfect all the time.
Id see her doing this knowing how nuts I was, how
dysfunctional yet I had no tools to really get things taken
care of. I was going to talk therapy every week for two and a
half years, just trying to figure out why have I gone crazy.
Ive done everything they said I had to do and I had. I was
lost. Then to see your 6-year-old pulling the vacuum out
cause maybe mom will stop raging, you know, youre like,
oh, I am really messing up my kids. I did know that at the
time, that I was not doing them any favors.
And yet, I have a perspective of that that I just Ive worked
with so many mothers that feel so much regret and thats a
hard issue, regret we should probably clear that for all the
moms in the room today like, Oh, I just really messed up my
kids. Its like, look, they signed up for the whole deal we
all did.
You know what? They knew you were going there. Its okay.
I trust that. My kids knew how it was going to play out. As
spirits, we just all kind of came in and were willing to move
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 13
through the pain and struggle with the design that were
going to come out on the other side in a much better place.
GIVE NO TIME TO STRUGGLE, ONLY CHANGE
There are some things Ive done that I still kind of cringe and
go, That was so sick, you know, just not healthy. And for
the most part I just hold it in that spiritual perspective of
youve got to see the bigger picture here and its, even if your
child is still playing out the residual effects of what you
helped influence due to your, whatever, stuff when you were
raising them, theres an eternal timeline to address this, you
know, and Gods not going to sell any of us short due to the
fact were dealing with generational stuff.
And God continually puts in peoples path the chance to
notice it, big time. Really big time. I see so many people
getting hit with life challenges that are so you just cant
ignore them. The whole point of them is turn to God and get
some real answers here, not just try and get rid of the
disease. Whats creating this?
Wheres this coming from? Theres something bigger driving
it. Dont just treat the symptom, you know. And people are
being given lots of really potent life situations in which to
start wanting to know more, cause the answers they have
arent, you know, for me they werent satisfactory going to
talk therapy and just doing what Id been told to do and
things should be better and they didnt get better.
How is that healing when you cant even speak to your
parents or siblings for five years? Cause you went to talk
therapy and you created the story then made it difficult to
even have contact with these people.
I have to have boundaries. Ill separate myself. Thats
healing. Thats not healing, thats creating a whole other
level of stuff to heal. So Im grateful for these tools that we
have now cause when you clear your emotional baggage,
you can change the way you see something.
And thats important to understand. The only thing thats
keeping you stuck in your perception, thats limiting you
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 14
whether its a victim or a martyr perception or something

where you feel youve been wronged the only thing
keeping you from changing your mind the way you see it is
the emotions that support it.
When you clear the emotions, you can change the way you
see it that fast and go oh, alright, cool. I had one rapid eye
session and I had not spoken to my extended family that I
grew up in in close to five years. And I had a lot of issues
with my dad.
TURNING DOWN OLD TRIGGERS WITH RAPID EYE TREATMENTS
And the reason for that is any contact with them, especially
with my father, tripped me up so much Id be so it would put
me into such a craze, being a wife and a mother to my own
family, it interfered. Theyd get all the aftermath. So that
was my way of trying to perform in my roles in my current
family was to separate myself from the family group I came
from.
And yet, that was just always there. You knew that hadnt
been healed. And I went to one RET session and what that
cleared in one session, I had the ability, completely,
genuinely from my heart to come home and write my father
and my family a letter asking for them to forgive me, that I
had hurt them by the choices Id made by dealing with what I
was dealing with.
It totally shifted the whole family momentum one clearing.
I was, like, I think this works. Its pretty powerful stuff.
Cause I couldnt fake that.
I couldnt pretend. It had to come from my heart, and it did.
It was remarkable and the whole process of coming back
together and moving on happened very quickly then, as I
reached out to each of those family members in a whole
different place cause I no longer was the victim.
I was now the person that had the power to just take on that
role of saying, We need to have a perpetrator. No one else
is willing to own that. Ill get to do that, too. Ill play that part.
I hurt them. So I got to be the victim and the one causing
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 15
the pain. And the Heavenly Father told me, we just need
one person to play all the parts so the energy can be moved.
Youre a one-woman show, Carol. I said, okay, Ill do it all I
guess cause no ones willing to take this on.
Everyone wanted to be the victim; were all fighting to be the
victim, you know? You hurt me. No, you hurt me. No
one is
willing to be the bad guy and say, Okay, thatll be my part.
No one can move that energy. So Heavenly Father gave me
the clarity, the discernment to know what I was doing.
And it didnt matter if I was right. But somebody had to move
it into forgiveness. That was huge to be able to have that
kind of awareness and realize, oh, were all competing for
the victim. No ones going to move out of victim energy if
thatsWere all stuck there.
YOUR HEART CENTER MUST LIVE FREE OF HURT
And thats heart stuff. If youre experiencing any aspect of
being a victim in your life, thats cause your heart center
carries hurt and you want it validated. Its, like, youll hang
on to that, people die with that kind of wounded heart stuff,
waiting for the person that hurt them to show up and say,
Ive hurt you. Theyll finally go, Okay, good, now I can heal
it.
Its not gonna happen. Its just, why waste your life? Theyre
waiting for someone to show up and tell them. You can get it
taken care of through yourself and God. Its real easy. So
lets go ahead and do some of that. Any other questions?
RAPID EYE TECHNOLOGY FOR CHILDREN
Audience Member: Can you have a RET treatment done on a child thats having
difficulties when he doesnt seem to want it? You have to be
willing to be there to help them.
Carol:
2010 Carol Tuttle
Can you have a rapid eye therapy session to benefit a child

if theyre not coming along with it or choosing into it? How I
Page 16
would approach that is I wouldnt even ask the child to come

in. Id do it through proxy, meaning you can proxy somebody
here tonight as we work with whoever is invited to come up
front. You can invite someone elses energy to receive the
benefit of the clearing work were doing here.
Energy is not contained in any fashion. It responds through
intention; its an intelligent system. And your intelligence is
asking for that energy to be affected. And is it something
that they want? Well, of course, they wouldnt be here on
the earth. Their higher self is seeking enlightenment.
They wouldnt be on the planet at this time. Its just people
get stuck because of the defenses that we carry and the fear
that we
have that we just feel its safer to not keep We know how
to survive. Were just really good at surviving.
Were masters at it, otherwise you wouldnt be experiencing
some level of survival every day of your life. Youd just say,
Im done. Im good with survival. Im moving on. But were
just so good at it, its such a habit. Its become a lifestyle for
humanity. I include myself in that. Were good at being
dramatic when it comes to surviving this planet.
GETTING UNSTUCK GROUP EXERCISE
Okay, what would be fun to work with is people that
recognize theyre stuck cause theres some blame going on
or theres some issue with another, some heart, some pain
there. So relate anything that has to do with youre angry
with someone or someones hurt you and you get triggered
by them easily, they bug you.
Or you get vulnerable. Youre hurt by them easily, you get
angered by them or you get hurt, easily offended. Jealousy
is good if you feel threatened that youre going to lose
somebody.
Or you get jealous of them having other
attention. So that gives you some ideas. So raise your
hands if you think youd like to participate in some of that.
Whats your name?
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 17
Barbara:
Barbara.
Carol:
Hi, Barbara. Whats your experience that you felt qualified to

come up here?
Barbara:
Well, whats interesting is just the last month or so Ive been

feeling really stuck and knew I had to get out of whatever it
was causing me to be stuck. And I feel like I read your
book and was reading about how we have all these
experiences and we struggle through them and we learn
through them and why cant we learn through joy?
Thats my overall experience. The other thing is that Ive
gone through a lot of that forgiveness and stuff with people
and my family in healing. And Im married to this wonderful
man with this great spirit. But all of my stuff is stuck with
some resentments and bad feelings, bad energy with him.
Carol:
Based on certain experiences youve had or?
Barbara:
Yeah, experiences in the past and stuff that Ive worked

through and I can be there and say thats gone. Its like you
said recreate things. And then it comes back. I just would
like to really clear that.
Carol:
Is it anger or sadness or?
Barbara:
A lot of its sadness, a lot of its loneliness, energy.
Carol:
Like hes not there for you?
Barbara:
Yeah, to some degree, but a lot of it not having the same

energy in some of the things youre talking about.
Carol:
Oh, that he doesnt, like, seek this information out kind of

thing?
Barbara:
That and that he just has different energy than I do and I feel
like Im being his mother when I dont want to be his mother.
And I think he wants me to be his mother. You know, Ive
gone through the whole gamut of all those different things
and I just want to clear it.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 18
Carol:
Okay. Well, you are different energies. Thats distinct. We

always marry someone who has a different rhythm than you.
Theres four types of energy that we all fall into and I havent
met anyone thats married their same energy type.
So theres this, when you havent fully accepted your flow,
the energy type you are, you have more tendency to need
them to be like you and theyre just not going to be because
youve married them intentionally to compliment the flow of
you.
So a lot of self-acceptance stuff that we need to take care of
so we free our companion, our spouse up to be their flow
and not expect certain things thats not their, its not
authentic to them.
When we need something of that, kind of we really need it,
thats an unmet need that you are better to resolve yourself
then he can show
up and participate and just offer as kind of an addition to,
that its complimenting what you already have.
Its an addition to. Thats why drives every divorce is that
you dont get your needs met in your spouse and so you
then depart, split cause youre now wounding each other.
Youre now wounding those unmet needs, you get really
good at throwing out the strikes that wound the other person
so that you dont even stay together cause theres this
expectation that youve got to take care of what didnt get
taken care of.
And thats what creates most marital conflict is that design
and a lot of heart stuff thats never been healed. Its old
energy most of the time. And people go out and find the
next person to play the same role. They wonder why isnt
this too much better than the last time around?
Its funny to me when you have a client thats now on their
third, fourth, fifth and even sixth marriage, and its like, you
didnt notice this? Its so blatantly obvious you kept marrying
the same guy different name and face.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 19
And its theyre so in the experience, its like, they come in

and start to become conscious and see the patterns. Just
even reading my book people start to go, whoa. Its like
waking up to this and going, Duh, its so obvious. How did I
not see it? - that I attract the same experience to myself
over and over and over.
So in your case, whats something thats sad or happens that
can hurt you?
Barbara:
Can actually hurt me. Actually I feel like Im not being fair to
him because I am much more judgment of him than he is of
me and thats something I dont want to be. I guess the thing
that I dont know really what it is that hurts me or I
guess I feel burdened being around him.
Carol:
Oh, like you have to kind of take care of him and
Barbara:
Im in charge type thing and I dont want to be. And yet hes
very capable. I was telling your husband we listen to your
CD, you know, Jackie Singleton, our mutual friend, she gave
me that CD and we both listened to it. We had the biggest
fight weve ever had because what you were saying about
your husband was the same stuff that
Carol:
What CD was it?
Barbara:
I dont know which one it was. But you were talking about
your relationship with your husband and how he had a
certain job that you always were over and you werent sure
he could provide for you and all that stuff and then youve
come to that acceptance.
And thats a big thing too with us - that I feel like I have to be
in charge of retirement because he has a regular job that
isnt going to pay much for retirement. Things like that that I
dont need to be worrying about, but I do.
Carol:
2010 Carol Tuttle
Okay, youre a yang-feminine, which tends to be close to

masculine. You kind of let your masculine tendencies take
over. Hes a yin I know Johns back there; I know hes
thinking this cause - . Your husbands a yin-male.
Page 20
And if you understand yang and yin, yang tends to operate

more like a masculine energy its direct, its the go for it
energy. Its the more firm energy. Yin is the softer, the
receiving. It tends to be more classified as a feminine.
So when youre a yang-feminine and you have a yenmasculine, its really easy to get that all mixed up and youre
operating like the masculine predominately and hes the
shut-down male, not sure how to operate in his male energy
cause hes probably got a pattern of its never enough.
The female in my life Im always criticized. So youre just
the significant female operating in a masculine shutting him
down. And youre not coming from your heart as a feminine.
You have to learn how to work Im a yang feminine, so Im
all about making it happen.
So John and I have worked with real intention on becoming
aware of our style as a masculine and feminine. And for me
to operate as a yang-feminine has to be real, you know, I
have to really accentuate, focus on my feminine, give more
attention to it.
Especially in the world in which we live. Its real easy to be a
feminine operating in the masculine. Real easy. And so to
be
more tender, more heartfelt, more tender in my heart and not
compromise my yang gifts which are, if I wasnt a yangfeminine, I couldnt do what Ive done cause I would not have
had the self-assurance of being who I am to go out and write
about things in my culture that have never been written. So
it was just appropriate that I be designed this way.
And I needed a yin-masculine that would stand by me and
just help bring, you know when things get a little uneasy, or if
theres challenges to move through, hes real steady. See,
your husbands real steady.
Barbara:
I have the same situation.
Carol:
Thats a gift.
Barbara:
I know, I know. It bores me to death sometimes.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 21
Carol:
Yes, but thats cause youre both holding back. You both
have to step into who you are and just let it shine and not
Youre both holding back because you think youre going to
get hurt. And all youre doing is hurting each other by
holding back. Im just trying to think how Id want to work
with this. Its a hard issue. Did you have a dominant father?
Barbara:
I did not. I had an absent father.
Carol:
Well, there you go. You picked a guy that could be absent
for you.
Barbara:
And he travels a lot, my husband.
Carol:
But there is a dynamic in that thats like, its safe for you to
be in a relationship if the males kind of invisible. But then
you get angry. You know, then youre scared for him to really
show up cause you dont know
Barbara:
I dream sometimes, what would it be like if he was really wild

and crazy like me? Wouldnt that be neat for a day?
Carol:
Youd kill each other. No, you would. No, we tend to be

much more dramatic emotionally. We need a guy thats
gonna be like, whatever, come on, chill.
Barbara:
I know hes probably perfect for me but it drives me crazy

still. You know what Im saying?
Carol:
Carol, you keep coming up with the drive me crazy line, so

lets work with the drive me crazy line. You said that
numerous times. What are you going to create every time
you say that?
Barbara:
More craziness.
Carol:
Yeah, hes driving you crazy. Youre letting his gifts become
your triggers. Rather than just saying, you know what, I
gotta see where this is a gift in my life rather than an
annoyance. Cause its a great blessing, it really is. Cause
you need someone thats going to keep you more even keel.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 22
And hes not going to be an entrepreneur, so get over it then

cause hes not. They like steady jobs, they like paychecks.
Would you say that, dear?
Hes only going to be an
entrepreneur with me cause I lead out in that risk taking.
Hes pretty calculated on, mmmm. So he has his day job
thats paycheck.
So we kind of got both worlds going on. So when I realized
that the man doesnt do entrepreneur, he doesnt lead out
with that; and if I get frustrated if he doesnt, I think thats
false expectation. Its not him, its just not, and thats not
right for me to expect that. Thats me though.
Barbara:
So even though you know that and you see that, do you
sometimes kind of expect it a little bit?
Carol:
Not so much anymore, no, not that I understand that.
Barbara:
Im very much aware that my husbands not that type and

that he fully supports me because
Carol:
Okay, we just need to do forgiveness, okay, finally got it. I

thought, whats she need?
Barbara:
I thought Id done that a million times, but I guess I havent.
Carol:
You may have to do it a million more. See, thats the thing.

Thats where people think, oh, Ive done it. Well, you might
do it every day for 365 days, I dont know why. I dont why
were being that accountable.
So you just gotta get over the mindset that, I did the
forgiveness session.
Well you might get to do the
forgiveness session every day cause every day it shows up.
And youre still attaching yourself to that whole perception.
So every time its there, just do it. Thats it.
Theres no like, I should only have to do it six times, you
know? Well, sorry, forget it. Itll never clear. When it shows
up, you meet it with, you match it with this. Put your glasses
back here and, okay, think of the situation where your
husband can just annoy you, drive you crazy, alright? You
got one in mind?
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 23
Barbara:
Yeah.
Carol:
Okay, first put your hand up here and say, Im okay, no

matter what happens. Everybody say that.
All:
Im okay no matter what happens.
Carol:
Over and over about five or six times. Just keep saying it.
All:
Im okay no matter what happens. Im okay no matter what

happens. Im okay no matter what happens. Im okay no
matter what happens.
Carol:
Okay, think of the worst thing that can happen if he never

changes.
Barbara:
Id be okay no matter what happens.
Carol:
Well, think of it. Can you think of it?
Barbara:
Yeah, the worst that could happen?
Carol:
Yeah. Whats the worst thing that could happen if he doesnt

ever get wild and crazy or go start a new company or
Barbara:
Well, my first mindset says Id stay stuck.
Carol:
Well, whose problem is that?
Barbara:
Yes, thats mine. I know.
Carol:
Whats the worst thing that can happen to you? Are you
gonna die? Lose your limbs? Whats the worst thing thats
gonna happen?
Barbara:
Go crazy.
Carol:
Yeah, but youve been there so Youre still living. Youve

survived craziness. Okay, so.
Barbara:
So the worst that could happen is everything would still be

like it is.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 24
Carol:
Alright, but youre, you know, youve got a nice outfit and
your car, I see is in the parking lot, you know. Youre
breathing. So I always go to the worst thing and say, you
know, what am I so afraid of here that Im getting so bent out
of shape? What is the big deal? So what if it never
changed?
Barbara:
What if it never changed? Id just learn to live with it.
Carol:
Okay, just say again, Im okay no matter what happens.
Barbara:
Carol:
Over and over, everyone say it.
All:
Im okay no matter what happens, Im okay no matter what

happens, Im okay no matter what happens.
Carol:
Okay, take a deep breath. Real simple principle here. Shes

waiting for her outside world to change so she can be happy
inside.
Whats the lesson here?
You get to choose
happiness regardless of whats going on. Until you get that,
nothings changing.
Barbara:
I got it up here but probably not here yet.
Carol:
Oh, you probably do. Its just practicing it. Okay, now say, I
forgive him.
Barbara:
I forgive him.
Carol:
Everyone say this: I forgive him. Or her, whatever you

need to put in there. I forgive him. He is doing the best he
knows how.
Barbara:
I forgive him. He is doing the best he knows how.
Carol:
Okay, everyone say that over and over.
All:
I forgive him. He is doing the best he knows how. I forgive

him. He is doing the best he knows how. I forgive him. He
is doing the best he knows how.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 25
Carol:
See now I can check that to see if you believe that. Just put
your arm up and say I forgive him. He is doing the best he
knows how.
Barbara:
I forgive him. He is doing the best he knows how.
Carol:
Yeah, you do believe that.

happens.
Barbara:
Carol:
Yeah, so every time you have a situation where you get

bugged and you start feeling like, he drives me crazy, do
those two
processes. Release that energy cause as long as thats how
you respond in your vibration, what are you going to keep
attracting?
Barbara:
Craziness.
Carol:
Yeah. Every time you say It drives me crazy, what do you

ask for more of?
Barbara:
Craziness.
Carol:
Yep, for him to play that part.
Barbara:
Your husband has a question.
Syl:
Another thing thats really, really important. Heart Chakra is

to forgive yourself, that youre doing the best that you know
how.
Carol:
Good point. Thank you. Lets do that now. Okay, Syls

mentioned that we need to take this one step futher and do
forgiveness for ourself. So put your hand up here and say
everybody, hand on their heart
And Im okay no matter what
I forgive myself
for going crazy.
Im doing the best I know how.
I forgive myself
For still believing
I havent made any progress with this
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 26
Im doing the best I know how

I forgive myself
Thinking I should be over this by now
Im not
And Im doing the best I know how
Its okay and Im okay no matter what happens.
Carol:
Cause you are. You feel better?
Barbara:
Yeah.
Carol:
Thats where you want to use it though. And its in your dayto-day experience, even if its in your head. To say, you
know, when you get triggered by that loved one, its Im okay,
it doesnt matter. Youve gotta get to the illusion we bought
into that all that has to change for us to have joy.
And that is we vibrate in response to I cant stand this, drives
me crazy. You hold the pattern in place. It cant change, so
thats when you hit it right in the moment, with these little
simple techniques. When Im up here I feel like Im an
evangelist, you know like, Be healed or something. It feels
weird to me, I dont do that. But this will help you if you
apply it.
Barbara:
Tell me those two things.
Carol:
Im okay no matter what happens. Cause, see, youre still

believing all this has to change for you to be okay and feel
loved and to be happy. And I forgive him. Cause youre
responding as if youre judging him that you have to change
in order for me to love and accept you.
And guess what? Hes probably doing the best he knows
how being who he is, and then you forgive yourself that
youre still getting triggered.
Barbara:
Okay.
Carol:
Oh well. Welcome to marriage.
Barbara:
Thank you. I appreciate it.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 27
Carol:
Youre welcome. Youre worth being loved, appreciated,

treated kindly that your hearts open for receiving tenderness
and love. Was there any kind of trauma in your childhood?
See, so youre used to being in an environment where
theres harsh energy.
Barbara:
See, the earliest that I can recall this cycle happening, I was
probably about four and I remember looking out my bedroom
door and seeing my parents in the kitchen with my sister,
ripping into her.
Carol:
Your background is to be in environment where theres a lot

of harsh words, harsh energy. So youve got to now practice
and really engage the belief that Im worth being treated
tenderly, kindly, lovingly, you know, sensitively. You dont
have much belief operating around that to attract it.
Does that make sense? You want it but the energy youre
putting out is, I dont deserve anything more than Im
getting. Does that make sense? Cause its like what your
heart knows to be stepped on. Like, step all over me, I
survive kind of a thing.
So what Im going to do that handout we just gave Im
going to take her through a little EFT clearing to switch this,
to release this issue around Im not worth anything better
than what Im getting. Im not worth kind words, Im not
worth being treated sensitively. Have you ever been to
EFT?
Barbara:
Yeah, thats how I found you.
Carol:
Did you? Okay, well. Everybody do this along with me and

think of some aspect of your life that you have some worth
issue around your relationships, your money, weight Im
not worth being fit, Im not worth having more money,
whatever. Just pick one thing for yourself, okay?
And youre going to apply this to your own issue, but were
going to speak to hers, but it will cross over to your own
energy, just through intention.
HEART CHAKRA EFT GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 28
Okay, so you start tapping on your karate chop point and

say, Even though I havent believe Im worth it, I deeply love
and accept myself. Even though Ive never been treated like
Im worth it, I am worth being treated lovingly.
Can you say that? See, your little hearts opening up. Okay,
Ill say it for you. You just keep tapping.
Even though it even hurts to think that, I deeply love and
accept myself. Put your head up, okay, Im gonna tap for
you. And you start tapping on the inside of the eyebrow,
releasing the hurt, releasing the pain. Open your eyes, blink
your eyes.
Even though this hurts to hear this, I am worth loving. Even
though Im sad cause of all the harsh things that have been
said to me I now release those harsh words. All the harsh
words, let them go. All the harsh energy. Letting go of all
the harsh environments Ive had to live in. All the yelling, all
the screaming, all the fighting, all the verbal abuse, all the
put-downs.
Even though Ive believed all these years thats all Ive been
worth, I now know Im worth more, I deserve more. Im
letting myself have more. And just say over and over, Im
worth it. I am worth it. Im worth kind words, Im worth a
loving touch, Im
worth tenderness, Im worth kindness, Im worth sensitivity,
Im worth support.
Okay, put your hand right here and say, I forgive myself for
believing I wasnt worth it, because I am. Everyone is. And
Im choosing that for myself now. Its time to take care of
me. Any children?
Barbara:
Yeah, theyre old.
Carol:
You look so young. How do you feel? Do you feel better?

That was interesting cause that was a heart issue because
of the way its like shes been stepped all over her heart, but
it was a worth it. So it had to do with her parent identity
these other two I was talking about.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 29
Your parent identity and your voice, that Im worth being able
to ask for something more in my life and take a stand and,
you know, be inspired now in my life to do what God directs
me to do in this situation, because thats really between you
and God, how youre to move forward in this.
Cause you have to have that connection more with your core
and your worth to be able to do that effectively. Otherwise,
youll just keep getting what youre getting. So that was
great. Thanks for being vulnerable for everybody.
Why dont you both share with me. Im going to work with
you both kind of simultaneously. Whats your name?
Kerry:
Kerry.
Carol:
Hi, Kerry. Whats your heart stuff about?
Kerry:
Wide open or slammed shut. So Ive had the wide open

problem for a long time. And then just in the last year its just
kind of gone, boom. Ive just seem to have had enough.
And I feel like Ive moved through a lot of issues and gotten
a lot stronger in a lot of areas, but I can tell
Carol:
Where are you getting hung up now?
Kerry:
Its in here.
Carol:
But in being too open, feel like people take advantage of

you? You give too much?
Kerry:
I have. I just feel too much of other I feel like I just take on
what everybody else is feeling and tend to forget a little bit of
whats going on with me, I think. Im getting better with that,
but its just, I cant find the balance, I just cant find the
balance. Its either wide open or just go, Cant handle
anybodys stuff, I just gotta shut down.
Carol:
Okay, I gotta think about that for a minute.
Kerry:
My name is Kerry as well. And we have a history of divorce

in our family from my grandmother to my father and now Im
currently going through a divorce.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 30
Carol:
Im sorry. Youre only 16 though.
Kerry:
Im actually 27.
Carol:
You look so young.
Kerry:
But Im to the point now where Im just shutting myself down

not only to men, but to just everybody cause I dont want to
get hurt.
Carol:
You two guys kind of the same.
Kerry:
I dont believe this. Thats why were both here.
Carol:
So shutting down so you dont get hurt.
Kerry:
Shutting down. I had this belief when I was a kid just going
through watching my parents going through divorce, that I
didnt ever want to get married, and if I did, I was just getting
married
once and that was it. So Im kind of bringing up all these
issues now. And I was an only child so I have this issue
feeling like Im going to be alone all my life and so
Carol:
Are you married?
Kerry:
Was.
Carol:
So youre divorced?
Kerry:
Um-hm.
Carol:
Alright, okay. Think fast. Im really thinking Syl knows cause

this has been more your experience than mine. You need to
come up. Yes, help me out. Shes had a similar experience.
Shes divorced. So thats why Im going, Syls tuning right in
here. I feel like Im to turn the time over to you now.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 31
HEART CHAKRA THE UNSTRUCK SOUND
Syl:
The fourth Chakra is the heart. The word for this Chakra is
anahata, that is the Sanskrit word and the literal translation
means unstruck sound. Ill just begin with a little poem that
kind of speaks to this.
The soft touch of a bees wings against the skin,
A secret known to few, most often avoiding risk
Remains the center of longing, just this once, hold still
Watch as it softly lands to brush your surface.
Release the fear of a sting
Pain is a betrayal to those only who are caught off-guard.
And that kind of speaks to the heart. How do we keep it
open and yet still protect ourselves? One of the ways to do
this is through what weve talked about from the root.
Youve got your grounding and your physical beingness.
OUR HEART CHAKRAS BLEND YIN AND YANG WITHIN US

The second Chakra is where you become aware of the two
together the masculine and the feminine energies -within
your own self so you hit that movement and the flow and
pleasure and desire and need connecting with a need. And
that is really one of the earliest steps towards the Heart
Chakra.
And being able to say what you need or express your needs
through action, through motion, however that transmutes for
you, is part of that upward movement to get you to the heart.
Then youve got your power and your belly and the fire and
the will and all of that sort of empowerment learning how to
be empowered rather than have power over. Learning how
to respect
the power within yourself rather than looking to other people
to have power over you.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 32
And then we get to the heart. And the Heart Chakra Ive
done these paintings of the Chakras and the heart color is
shades of green; the way its depicted is in the center of the
Heart Chakra a Star of David and it is symbolic of this is the
intersection where all of the energies from the upward center
hit and cross all those energies that come up through the
lower center.
So youve got an upward triangle and a downward triangle,
intersecting and sort of interlacing the masculine, the
feminine issues of the body, the mind and the spirit.
So it also speaks to a symbolic sort of suggestion of
balance. This is where they meet, theyre equal in their size
and theyre just facing in the opposite directions moving up
and down.
I loved one of the things that Carol was talking about, about
the yang-feminine and the yin-masculine. When it comes to
the theistic philosophy, the Hindu theistic philosophy from
which the Chakras kind of arose, and definitely tantric
thought, tantric yoga thought, the feminine is yang; the
feminine is manifestation.
OUR HEART CHAKRAS HOUSE THE DUAL SPIRITS
OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION
Shakti is the feminine principle of creation. And that is
making it happen, taking an idea like I would love to have a
child and actually making that happen. What Im talking
about is just the feminine side of that; Im not discounting the
masculine importance at all. But it actually comes down
through and manifests out.
The idea of a play you conceptualize an idea and that it
comes from the higher centers. At the highest center in the
crown resides Shiva, which is the masculine principle of
creation. And its consciousness without manifestation. And
some would refer to that as yin, or feminine, because its
quiet, its serene, its there, its existing.
And yet, youve got Shakti - shes fierce, shes anger, shes
creation. So really in our society, weve mixed those two up
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 33
that the feminine is, you know, which it is, but so is the
masculine as well. But the masculine is consciousness
without creation. The feminine is wild, crazy, manifestation
without consciousness.
At the heart where they intersect, they both, oh, finally Im
whole. And this speaks to some of that aloneness. Am I
going to be alone? And just the word for the Anahata
Chakra translates to mean unstruck sound, which is really
the point of the Heart Chakra and what we live in. Its like, I
open my heart, but will anyone hear it, really, for what it is.
THE HEART CHAKRA IS A CENTER OF BALANCE
Will I be treasured for what I am? And this is where love is
kind of the Heart Chakra theme because when you are in
love or when you are in a loving relationship, that person is
mirroring back to you love that you have for yourself. And its
okay to say it and its okay to feel it because someone else is
sort of channeling that to you.
So how do you find a balance of being able to have that
loving acceptance of yourself? It really is set up in not only
just religion, organized or not, but just creation period, that
the man and the woman make divinity together.
And in kind of some of the Judeo-Christian philosophies, and
really even some of the eastern philosophies, we all come
from a broken home.
We have this father in most Christian or Judeo philosophies;
we have this distant father who is wrathful. And yet theres
no mother, theres no mention of any daughters.
Theres mention of the son, but he didnt even get a stickaround. This is out there in consciousness. And to be able
to weave yourself through that to come to a place where you
really understand the connection of divinity through your own
self-acceptance, is where that makes it all okay.
And the sound here go ahead and take your hand. Theres
a heart acupressure point and the Heart Chakra is, if it were
to be located somewhere, would be just straight in from the
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 34
nipple line thats probably the best way to describe where it

would be.
And we all have them. So there is this point and if you take
your hand to your jugular notch and just really quietly take a
deep breath in, and one more time. And then as you exhale,
just gently
draw your finger down, you will spiritually recognize it when
you hit it.
Your hand just wont go any further. And this is a heart point
and its a point for really its an emotional balancer. When I
was over at Carols not too long ago Im getting some
computer help.
I looked out in the back yard and there was the dog, Jacko,
and another dog that I thought was really, really wonderful
and really pretty, cute a very dainty, feminine sort of dog.
And she was like a Golden Lab or something. And partway
through, she comes inside, she starts eating all of Jackos
food. I see her chomping it down.
Then she comes over and Im sitting like I am now and shes
licking my toes and Im just like, Namaste, doggy. And then
she goes on her merry way. Jacko comes in to John and its
apparent its dinnertime and he looks over at the bowl,
Youve already eaten, what do you want your food for? So
we go through this little just interesting thing I was witness
to.
And then later on that evening, Carol came in and she had
been hit in the street and was dead. The dog, not Carol.
This dog had been hit and one of her sons went out there
and when he first got to her this dog, who basically had her
heart out on the street, he went up and he just put his hand
on her head and her little tail Thats the purity of dogs, the
pure-heartness.
And I felt this ow, ow, oh, it hurt. And I spent a lot of that
afternoon before I left, just really rubbing this section,
tapping it. Its like, wait a second, dont close down. So
when you feel like your heart is closing down, whered she
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 35
go? The gal that was up here. Yeah, both of you. There
you go. Kerrys, right? Okay.
To really connect with that, make something happen, strike a
sound in that area of your body and feel that theres
something there and Im acknowledging you and Im out
here and you dont have to close down. And you can do that
a lot, especially when youre going through difficult things
where youre dealing with your aloneness.
Rubbing it is also great. And also another little exercise to
do and Ill get into it in a minute is anahata pranayama
which is to find your heartbeat and you exhale down to a
four-count rhythm,
inhale up to a four-count rhythm, retain at the top for four
and exhale down for four.
CONNECTING TO YOUR HEART CHAKRA MEDITATION AND YOGA
So theres a couple of different things you can do to just
connect with this area of your body. I was teaching a yoga
class a few weeks ago and its an acupressure yoga series,
so Im teaching these points on the body within the context
of yoga.
And I said to the group Just start at your jugular notch and
dont touch your skin, but just really connect through whats
going on with your fingers and just lower it without even
touching and see if you can recognize when you get to the
heart point.
And it was real clear when I got to my heart point. It was just
a little bzzzz; kind of a little electrical, spiritual thing going on
there.
Okay, for anahata the unstruck sound do I open my heart
if theres no one here to hear, if no one will hear that sound?
It is about potential the potential for self-acceptance and
self-love.
The area, obviously shades of green, the area is the arms
so go ahead and take your arms out and just really open up
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 36
through the heart, spread the fingers nice and wide.

look fabulous.
You
Were going back and forth. The heart point comes up

through the arms and out the hands, the chest, the
shoulders. Okay, go ahead and stand up for a second. And
take the hands and lace them behind you. We did this on
the first class. Leave the knees slightly soft so you dont
slam the knees back. But basically
Can you all hear me back there? Can you hear me now?
Just take the hands and try and keep your palms together.
You may not be able to, but its okay if you cant. And then
press straight down and roll the shoulders open, nice far
back.
Take a deep breath in and breathe with it. And as you
exhale, raise the arms behind you as far as you can. Take
another deep breath in and really breathe into the heart.
Exhale, raise them up a little bit more. And again. And bring
them down. You dont want to, you know, blow anything out,
but you definitely want to get a nice good stretch.
And then take the hands and just switch which fingers in
front. Lace them together, bring the palms together, leave
the knees semi-bent and then reach up, up, up with the
heart. Press down, straight down with the hands, really
open up the shoulders, take a deep breath in. One more.
Really opening up that center of the body. All the way out
through the shoulders.
To continue on before you step down, go ahead and rub the
hands together because you have kind of secondary
Chakras in the palms of your hands that come out through
the heart.
Rubbing the palms together just as hard and fast as you can,
youll feel the action in the shoulders. And theres some
empowerment, some healthy empowerment that comes up
through the solar plexus into the Heart Chakra to allow you
to have the power to feel what you feel there, whatever it is.
Then take one hand up and one hand down, spread the
fingers nice and wide, take a nice deep breath in and then
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 37
open and close, just as fast as you can, about 20 times on

each side.
And this will open up kind of the centers to the body. Then
switch sides, feel the movement of the muscles up your
arms, nice deep breaths. Take them together. Relax the
shoulders back, lift the heart up just a little bit.
This is a fabulous position for meditation, for prayer. Very
rarely will I go like this cause youre cutting off your energy
flow. This is much better. And I get some funny stares if
youre doing this
Lifting up with the heart. And just feel what goes on with the
hands together. Then bring them out just an inch. You feel
some electricity thats moving in between.
Okay, a little further out, kind of bend the elbows, and just
sort of play with that. Pull them out. Youll have a draw
together as theyre a sense that they want to come together.
Do you feel kind of a magnetic connection there? This is
great for opening up the heart.
You can take them usually pretty, depending on what youre
working on, you can take them usually pretty far apart and
still be able to feel. Relax the shoulders down, lift up through
the chest.
And just take a deep breath in and just image a nice
fabulous ball of non-judgmental light coming in through the
heart, over to your right shoulder, down the right arm, elbow,
forearm, out the palm of the hand and catch it in your left.
And then draw it right back up in and move it down through
your feet. Can you feel that kind of go on?
You can feel the balance and the connection of this place
and for fun, you know, we talk a lot about standing in the
Post Office line. Moving that energy back and forth just to
take a moment and connect there. So thats to just begin.
Go ahead and have a seat.
The thymus is the gland of the Heart Chakra and the thymus
is a gland thats very large when youre a child and shrinks
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 38
as you grow to be an adult and it is the producer of your

killer t-cells.
Does anybody know what those are? Theyre basically your
cells that keep your immune system in good balance and
they are the ones that get rid of all of the really bad, bad
dudes in your bloodstream.
And when we have an imbalance in the heart, we have a
reduced production so that a lot of times there are immune
deficiencies or immune things rheumatoid arthritis is an
autoimmune system disease.
YOUR HEART CHAKRA AND DISEASE
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a year after my
symptoms occurred. My symptoms started the day I left my
4-month-old son with my mother and went back to work. My
feet hurt. I literally had pain walking away, cause some part
of me knew that I was about to face the pain of whatever
went on with my mother and my father and as soon as that
happened, wow.
But, right here, autoimmune diseases are really connected
with issues of the heart. Air is the element of this Chakra.
Compassion and love; vegetables are the food; sense of
touch you know, study after study after study, this or that
different animal, rats, specifically, chose touch over food
when given the choice, deprived.
Im hopeful that Im a little higher up on kind of the
intellectual chain from rats, but I would rather be touched
than eat. And we have all sorts of eating disorders that
really kind of connect with this heart area and they go both
ways. I will have enough weight that I will feel hugged all the
time. Or theres no one, so Im going to disappear into just
nothing.
HEART CENTER ACTIVATORS
Sensa yam is the seed sound; emerald, jade and rose
quartz, and specifically emerald and rose quartz are the
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 39
traditional gemstones. Ive worked with ruby and found that

it is probably over emerald as far as emotional balancer
goes, emerald is incredibly healing and an amazing
gemstone to work with and it is the traditional gemstone of
the Heart Chakra.
Rose quartz is also and Gemospheres, you know if you buy
two of these necklaces, you can do a really great heart
treatment that Ive been working with and its for
strengthening a weakened heart or also for clearing
suppressed emotions that are keeping your heart shut down.
And when I put on this rose quartz, it was like, ahh. It feels
like soft pillows. You just get that immediate sense.
But you get two necklaces and you hold them on either side
and just focus the attention in the heart releasing out
through, like we did through the hands and its amazing
treatment.
Turkish rose is the aroma therapy, but I dont know if we
have any left. Theyve kind of all pretty much sold before I
mentioned them. Two, two left. The Turkish rose is, it is the
scent of true love, that rose. And its a very soothing,
wonderful scent. And this rose that I offer to you is 8, 000
petals per liter. So its really intense as far as what youre
smelling with that.
If you sit and compare it side-by-side with other oils, theres
no comparison. John and I were talking when we started, he
was saying, you know, those oils, they last longer than other
oils that I use and theyre incredible. I can shower and still
smell the rose on me after I shower. Its really intense.
The other aroma therapy that Ive suggested for the Heart
Chakra is lavender and its a wonderful soother for wounds
and wounded hearts specifically. My little boy, when he cant
go to sleep at night, says Will you put some lavender on my
pillow? and Ill rub it on his pillow and he conks right out.
Wonderful for kind of sedating the nervous system in a really
sort of healthy way. I brought a bunch tonight because every
home should have a vial of lavender.
It has so many medicinal benefits. You can stick it on a little
bit of acne and it clears right up. And this last Thanksgiving I
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 40
was pulling the turkey out of my oven and I burned the side
of my hand on the inside of my oven. And I went and I just
put lavender on it and covered it with a Band-Aid and the
next morning there was no blister, you wouldnt even know I
had been touched.
And normally with me, I bruise easily, it takes a long time for
cuts to heal, Ill use lavender on that. So theres plenty back
there if you want some. I ordered extra to have here tonight.
YOUR HEART CHAKRA AND RELATIONSHIPS
Love and balance we talked about that - equilibrium and
healing is what takes place here. When you share from your
heart, which kind of is within the relationship genre, and it
fails, you have a sense of failing from the purest part of you
because when you share from the heart, it comes from the
purest form of your existence.
And when that doesnt kind of work into something and
blossom and flower, then theres this misconception that it
diminishes the value of the purity of what your emotions
were. And dealing with that with issues of the heart is
incredibly healing when you can make those sort of
connections.
HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF THE CHAKRAS
Also the triangles kind of symbolize an integration of your
body and your spirit at the heart. Really interesting and
pretty much any scriptural genre you look in, whether its the
Talmud or the Vedic text or the King James Bible, you find
references to kind of something that could be considered a
Chakra.
And in the Christian tradition, in Revelations - and this is in
the booklet there it says something along the lines of and I
turned to see a voice that spoke with me and I heard a voice
as though it were the sound of a great trumpet.
And when he turns around he sees seven golden some
Bibles say lanterns, some Bibles say candlesticks and out
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 41
of the center between the six comes this brighter light

saying, I am Alpha and Omega. Take what you see and
take it to the seven churches which are in Asia. And,
interestingly enough, weve got the Chakras that come out of
there.
And just really vital, so this center heart point is really, theres
six points on the Star of David to kind of represent the six
other energy centers. And there are all sorts of really
fabulous depictions in this Chakra.
Most pictures of the Chakra youll see will just have a round
Chakra that matches all the rest. The painting and the
interpretation I did, I went back to some of the original Vedic
texts where there were some of the earliest Hindu drawings
of the Chakras.
And on the Heart Chakra, theres an
accessory Chakra. Its very teeny, just below.
And within that is a jeweled altar with a canopy, a tree, a
canopy over it. And this is a wishing tree and its basically
where you would go to kneel at the altar, offer the wish, the
purest wish of your heart and theres some really wonderful
meditation in the book and in the guided meditation CD
where Ive kind of expanded on this to offer that purest wish
and then release it.
ALWAYS SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART
The heart is the place of intention. What do you really mean
when you speak to someone? What do they really mean
when they speak to you? So that all comes from there.
And then probably the biggest blockage to the Heart Chakra
is a denial of self-acceptance and self-love. And coming to
terms with that can take a lifetime or it can happen in an
instant.
And usually that instant includes a divine
recognition.
Because when you see yourself through
divinity, of which we all are, its impossible not to have
absolute, unconditional love for yourself.
And we have this opinion that we are somehow, and in some
of the Judeo-Christian philosophy theres this duality that
man is separate from God and really, we have this idea that
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 42
were away, that were somehow not with divine love

anymore.
And that really is part of the fallacy of this existence,
because we are no more farther away from that than when
we left or changed or however you want to view that. And
when you can come to terms with that, then you can
experience divinity moving through yourself.
YOUR HEART CAN OPEN IN AN INSTANT
Probably one of the most life-changing events I had and one
of the reasons I brought my Thai yoga mat tonight was,
when I started doing this work. Ive shared with you and
experienced where my heart opened. I think I talked about
that last time in the power center.
But when I got back to do this first work, I had to do so many
that I just chose to do for free to get the experience. And
when I was working on this woman, since I was a child Ill
get a buzz through my hand. If someone is sitting here
talking to me about something thats hurting them, Ill be
sitting here and I can feel my hand sort of fire up.
And it took me a long time. I remember telling an energy
worker one time who was working on me, I said, I feel like
Ive got these big guns and theyre firing and my hands hurt
and my arthritis is bad and my fingers.
But I felt really Gods love coming out through out the palms
of my hands for this person. And I was like, instead of just,
well, isnt that sweet, it was like, wow, if he feels this way
about her, then he feels this way about me. And that
changed my life, just like that, in an instant.
And so to offer up experiences for yourself, to be either the
recipient or the giver of healingness is one of the most
healing things that you can do for your Heart Chakra and
yourself. Theres a difference between offering it up to be
like, for lack of a better word, crucified, because theres this
tendency that were supposed to do that, but thats already
happened. Thats not your job.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 43
So to be able to offer that up in a place where you are

comfortable with your own divinity and your own boundaries
and you have enough self-acceptance and enough self-love,
that thats safe to express, is a much safer place than to just
say, Im going to continue to offer my heart for you to chew
up and spit out. Theres a difference between those two.
HEART CHAKRA THERAPY
Compassion is literally to have passion. So compassion
comes from that pure area of our heart. And for me, a real
literal expression for that, both as a receiver and a giver, is in
the Thai yoga therapy. Its a really amazing process. It is
basically a meditation.
It came from Buddhist traditions and it was developed by the
physician to the Buddha and in the ancient times, people
used to go to the temple for physical as well as spiritual
healing.
And so youd go to the temple and the monks would do this
on you to heal. So it began as a temple practice and theres
a real sacredness to it. But it is and theres a really
fabulous description on my website, you can go see if you
click on Thai yoga therapy, I give a lot of the historical
application in a little page about it.
But its a meditation in metta, which is called loving kindness.
And its just an expression of that through a physical
movement of
the body. And Ill go ahead and demonstrate some for you in
just two seconds.
The Chakras somatic journaling the heart, the chest, the
lungs, the shoulders, the arms. Everybody take a nice deep
breath in. Let your ribs expand out to the side. As you
exhale, pull in with the belly. And just kind of continue on
with that. Try to bring your awareness to your breath.
The lungs, to fill the lungs theyre a connection to the
heart, theyre really the wings of the heart.
Somatic
balancing listen to a loved ones heartbeat. Were not all
that touchy-feely in here or Id hook you up with your
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 44
neighbor. But to just listen to a loved ones heartbeat and

allow them to listen to yours is a really tender, wonderful way
to just open up the Heart Chakra.
And say I love you into the mirror. Do you believe it? Work
with that. There was a long time I couldnt make eye contact
into the mirror - probably the first 19, 25 years of my life. I
had never seen myself in the mirror pretty much. Id seen
bits and pieces. Id find the makeup cases with the tiniest
mirrors so I just had to look at my eye while I did my eye.
So that can be a long road in and of itself. Touch your
reflection. Play with that one. Give away your last bite.
Because we go through this ritual with our food, most of us
who tend to have this love/hate/worship sort of relationship
with food. I mean, you save the best. Youve got the syrup,
youve got the most amount of butter and youd swirled your
waffle all around. Give it away. Thats a fun one.
Read past journals and allow yourself to feel compassion for
who you were, even the ones when you were 12, 13, 14,
pictures of Scott Baio, whatever. Just your hand to your
heart weve done some of that tonight. Sternum rub and
tap weve done that.
A faith box. To have a box where you write the purest
wishes of your heart. If you could have any desire of your
pure heart wish, not up here and not down in your root
Chakra, but just the purest wish of your heart, and then put
them in the box and set them free to come to you.
Hand massage part of the Thai yoga therapy. Theres 10
minutes that I spend on your hands. One hand, 10 minutes;
the other hand 10 minutes. Its amazing. Its an amazing
process.
START WHERE YOU ARE
Tong Lin practice. A fabulous book, if you really want to
connect with your heart, is called Start Where You Are by
Pema Chodron. And she is one of the most wonderful
women ever to walk the face of the earth. Shes a Buddhist
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 45
nun and she has a whole bunch of books.

incredible.
Theyre
But Start Where You Are teaches a practice called Tong

Lin, where you basically inhale in whatever youre feeling.
So will I be alone forever, which is one that Ive had. And
rather than just trying to just inhale into my happy place, I
really take it in and I feel the emotions of all of what that is.
Yoga is another way, excellent way, for you to deepen your
experience of whatever emotions youre having, because
once you deepen it, you can validate them and once you
validate them, then you can set them free.
To just take a deep breath in for whatever is hurting you and
really feel it. Take it in and as you exhale out, you exhale out
compassion for yourself. And this is a wonderful practice to
do on behalf of someone whos harmed you to take in
absolutely all of it and to see it. God sees it and theres no
mistake there.
Isnt it interesting how many of us choose not to see it? It is
what lies hidden in the unconscious that brings death to love.
Thats Anodea Judith. It is what is hidden in the unconscious
that brings death to love. Okay.
To grieve if you need to grieve, which we all need to do,
because some of us go through this life grieving the loss of
God, grieving the loss of not living in that presence, when,
you know, its actually right around you. And if you have
different ways to get access to that some people use
drugs. Some people use gemstones you know, different
vibration. But theyre really all, these come authored from
that source. And thats my take on that.
Okay, but as you exhale, you exhale out compassion. Try
doing it for someone really evil, to take in absolutely
everything that was
evil about that person. And exhale out compassion to set
them free to their own self-destruction. Its a great way to let
it go.
Do you feel worthy of love on all levels? How capable do
you feel of loving others? Do you believe there is an infinite
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 46
supply of love? How often do you allow yourself to feel

vulnerable?
How aware of you are your prejudices?
Prejudice will shut down the heart.
YOUR HEART TRULY KNOWS YOU
Theres a fabulous email thats going around about a lady
who was gambling in Las Vegas. Has anyone read it? And
she hits the jackpot, shes got buckets full of tokens. She
goes to get on the elevator and it opens up and there are
two great big Black guys on the elevator.
And her first thought is,Im gonna get robbed. And it bugs
her that she feels that way, shes not a bigot. But it bothers
her that thats her first impression. She takes everything she
can to step on to the elevator. She turns around and she
just sort of shuts her eyes and then she hears someone say,
Hit the floor. She throws them up and she slams her body
down on the floor of the elevator.
And the guy says, No, hit the floor of where youre going.
The elevator will start moving when you hit the floor. And so
she has to kind of gather herself together, What have I
done? Ive just shown the prejudice of my heart.
And they help her gather it up; they walk her to her room so
she feels safe and the next day she gets 100 long-stemmed
red roses with hundred-dollar bills wrapped around each
stem and a note which says, Thanks for the best laugh Ive
had in a long time. Eddie Murphy and bodyguard.
THAI YOGA THERAPY GROUP PRACTICE
Were going to finish up with the last 10 minutes with Thai
yoga therapy. Kerry, if you want to come up first and Kerry,
you can come up second?
What in your life are you stifling that still needs grieving?
Connect yourself with that. How easy is it for you to express
gratitude and forgiveness? When you speak I love you to
your reflection, how true does it feel? And how can you
make it so? So those are just a few comments.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 47
Lets bring this mat up. Is this okay with you? You dont
mind me walking on your body? The Thai yoga therapy is
basically, its Chakra related. You can come up and just lay
down on the mat. No, youre okay. Shoes off, maybe. And
just feet down here.
The main idea here is its a 2-hour process and I start at the
feet and go all the way up to the crown of the head and we
basically open up all the energy lines through the body. And
these energy lines run along the lines of the fascia, the
muscles, the lymphatic flow and all of this.
How many in here have I worked on. 1, 2, 3, 4? Four of you.
Okay. So this is like a meditation for both the giver and the
receiver, alright. It typically begins with a prayer or sort of
invocation. And you start just by, with the hands on the feet,
to just pull on the feet.
Take a deep breath in and as youre laying down in bed at
night, just bring your awareness to whats going on with your
body. Are you really releasing the weight of your body and
allowing yourself to be supported by the bed or the floor?
Im giving a yoga basics workshop, there are flyers for it
most of you have, that will be in July. And Id recommend
that you come to it. It will work for any body type, any
experience with yoga. But we talk a lot about that.
The other thing most people do is lay like this, but go ahead
and turn your palms up. That will open up the shoulders and
the heart. So to work with the Thai yoga therapy, you just
start with sort of pulling the legs and then pressure up the
legs. And Im just going to do just a brief little bit because I
want to really get to the heart.
Im just kind of warming up your legs a little bit. And then
with the body, most oftentimes you can lay the palms of your
hands up and still have the heart closed. So with Thai yoga,
and Im jumping the gun here by about an hour into the
massage. But with Thai yoga Im just going to reach right
underneath you.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 48
See what happened there with her heart? Its something that
you can do at home if you have a partner whos willing to do
it for you. Just take the heel of your hand and the heel of the
shoulder take a
deep breath in and always press in on the exhalation. So
just little, small things to open the heart. Is that okay?
Hows that? Great.
And then go ahead and lay on your tummy. And I happen to
know that Kerry is a yogi so I feel comfortable to do this. Are
you comfortable enough to have me climb on to you? So
Thai yoga therapy is probably one of the best healers for the
heart, because its just a compassionate experience.
Its a little different from regular body work. Its considered a
meditation for both the giver and the receiver. Im just gonna
basically climb up on you. Im just gonna put my knees right
here. Okay? And this is probably not one youd want to try
at home.
Go ahead and take a hold of my arm and take a deep breath
in. You just relax, you just give me the weight of your body.
Deep breath. And exhale. And then back down. Bend up
the elbows. You can let them down.
Kerrys real natural with this, but most people have trouble
even just that little bit, and so its a wonderful practice to kind
of let some of that go. Rubbing on the back of the heart is
another great way to open up the Heart Chakra, just on
either side.
And then if you want to take it just a little bit different, if
someones got lower back problems or something, you can
step in right here, take a hold of the shoulders and then just
give me the weight. So you dont use any of your muscles at
all. And exhale, deep breath in. And so its wonderful sort of
release for the whole body. Hows that?
And to be able to let go and give yourself something like this,
theres a difference to it as opposed to regular massage.
Anyone whos had one feel free to venture your opinion.
Audience Member: Very delightful.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 49
Jackie:
Its been one of the most spiritual experiences that Ive ever
experienced.
Syl:
When you open up the energy lines in the body, you open up
the flow of just basic life force and that life force is God. And
so its
impossible to not feel it when those lines are open. But just
existence and everything else tends to kind of take that
away. Go ahead and roll up. And then why dont you sit
cross-legged in front just facing the group.
And a great way to kind of continue opening up the heart is
with the Thai yoga therapy is just a release in the shoulders.
Lift through the heart, so take a lift through the heart; take a
deep breath in and then just press down and out through the
shoulders. Another deep breath.
And one of a great affirmation for the heart and for someone
whos dealing with some of the issues that weve talked
about tonight any of them is I am enough. And doing
whatever you need to do to give yourself experiences where
you can connect with that feeling of I am enough right now,
is going to change because if youre enough, then youre not
alone.
Okay. Go ahead and lift the arm up this way, well bend at
the elbow. And Im just gonna kind of massage the tricep a
little bit. And to get underneath the heart, kind of closer in
the back, Im going to demonstrate that on the other Kerry.
Two minutes.
Just a little opening there. Deep breath in. And I basically
put my elbow right behind her heart. And I press in on the
elbows, I pull back with the arm. And it just gives you a
really great relief.
Great. And then other hand up. And if you want to learn
how to do this or learn a few techniques, twice a year I do a
guided partner workshop if you want to bring someone and
learn a few of the techniques. Deep breath in. Try that
again.
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 50
Im going to have you bend your elbow that way. Okay, then
go ahead and hold on to my hand. And I think Ive got one
coming up in July. Deep breath. Great.
So for me, yoga was a way I connected with that. The
issues of the heart and the fact that I am enough. And that
no matter whats going on, that I am not alone, and I lived my
life thinking I was completely alone for most of my life.
Take the hands behind, lace them together, press down
through the shoulders and gently begin to lift the arms. This
takes practice
over time.
As you exhale, move into a forward fold,
continuing the upward stretch in the palms of the hands.
Work with gravity as you make a firm base through the feet,
inhaling through the heart, exhaling, pressing back through
the shoulders and the palms of the hands. Work with gravity
as you make a firm base through the feet, inhaling through
the heart, exhaling pressing back through the shoulders in
the palms of the hands.
Inhale, come up allowing the hands to just gently rest down.
Reach high above the head and exhale down to a forward
fold. Take a breath in, make space in the spine and exhale
the belly towards the knees. Inhale. Step the right leg back
for a lunge. Again lace the hands gently once you have a
firm foundation.
Behind the back, press down, out and up, lift up with the
heart, actively reaching the heart upward and open. When
youre ready, exhale the hands down, step back gently and
lower the knees, chest and chin. Moving through cobra,
align the neck looking down at the floor.
Inhale, gently reach up through the spine as though
someone were pulling you up and forward, take a deep
breath in and exhale, tucking the toes back through
extended child. Putting the pressure in towards the thumbs
will open up the shoulders and the heart.
Take a deep breath in with the right leg forward for lunging
on the opposite side. Take the hands, lace them behind,
2010 Carol Tuttle
Page 51
reach down, out and up, counter pressuring up through the

heart as well as up through the palms of the hands.
Let the neck follow the spine; inhale as you release the
hands; exhale; step gently forward, bringing yourself back to
a standing forward arch; lace the hands behind, and with the
heart open, stretch through the shoulders once again.
Deep breath in as you reach forward with the crown of the
head, gently exhaling the torso down towards the knees.
Deep breath in. As you come up, lift the toes gently, press
through the heels, reach through the heart up and open.
High with the hands, exhale into a gentle back arch and
bring yourself back to normal state.
Gently step the right foot back, align your feet with a heel/
arch alignment. Take the palms of the hands and press
down through the elbows, lifting up through the heart,
extending the right leg straight, deep breath in as you slowly
make the foundation solid through the feet, lifting through the
toes and raising the arms out to the sides.
Inhale, reach as far right as you can, releasing the left hip.
When youve reached as far as you can, lower the right arm,
lift the left arm up so it actively reaches in an upward action
against the downward action of your right hand.
Let the hip lift you up through the top hand. Spreading both
hand out again, reverse directions now with the feet, the
opposite arch, aligning with the opposite heel. Deep breath
in as you reach as far as you can away from yourself,
exhaling the hand down, inhaling this time with the right
hand up.
Lift high and open with the heart as you actively reach
through the top hand, deep breath in move yourself into a
gentle twist through the low back, to align the neck you
would look down at the floor, tuck the chin in and roll up.
Hands to Namaste. Moving to the upward facing posture,
take a deep breath in step both feet back to plank position,
You can lower the knees for beginners, lifting up through the
heart, extending the toes straight behind you, press up with
the hands, lifting the entire torso and legs off the floor.

Exhale back to downward facing. Inhale and exhale back to

child pose. You can repeat this as many times as youd like.
The camel pose
Moving to ushtra-asana, the camel pose. This is a wonderful

heart opener. Drawing the elbows close together behind
you, lifting up with the heart, press the thumbs nice and firm
into the points on the back of the sacrum, lace the hands
together and lift up and away to open the heart. This is for
beginners.
If you want to move it to the next step, come up onto the
back toes with the heels up, lift up through the heart and
gently reach back, taking a hold of the back of the heels.
Open up the heart. Lift high through the mid-back through
the sternum. Exhale down into a child pose as this will
release any strain through the low back.
You can gently take your hands and rest them back on the
top of the sacrum for just a slight pressure release through
the low back.

Continuing to an advanced ushtra-asana, again, knees, hipwidth apart, lifting up through the heart, pressing with the
thumbs deep into the sternum.
Reach up with the heart, extend the hands back, take a deep
breath in through the low belly, allowing the neck to continue
along the spine falling back, breathing in and breathing out,
a steady lift up through the heart.
Coming up, leave the shoulders slightly tucked to protect the
neck, and exhale down into the child pose. Gentle rest the
forehead on the ground, gently rest the hands on the
sacrum.
