A Heart Chakra Celebration—Walking in Joy, Love, and Light
The day kicked off with a spirited gathering along the Seawall, in support of the Alcohol Drug Abuse Women’s Center (ADA). With its mission to provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment, the ADA empowers women as they recover from the disease of addiction. To make that happen, they need all of us, the community, to rally behind them. Feeling inspired? Please consider donating because giving hope is the best gift of all!
This morning was all about the community coming together to uplift women. Leading the charge was the Tutu Live Krewe, decked out in vibrant purple, teal, and black tutus, shimmying their way into everyone’s hearts. Their lively parade wasn’t just a show; it was a celebration of women from all walks of life. And healing, after all, is a shared journey, and lifting each other up which is pure Heart Chakra magic.
With the sun shining, laughter echoing, and the salty breeze giving us all life, the morning on the Seawall was nothing short of amazing. Let’s keep the momentum going! Donate, support, and be part of this beautiful wave of change.

Back to Our Heart Chakra Blossoming in Love
The journey back to the heart chakra feels like coming home—where love, compassion, and connection reside. Today is all about honoring that space with intentional reflection, movement, and gratitude. Today’s heart-centered practice focused on the Padma Mudra, a sacred gesture symbolizing the blossoming of love and compassion. This mudra opens the heart, inviting the energy of unconditional love to flow freely.
Accompanying this movement is the mantra: “My heart blossoms open with unconditional love.”
Heart Chakra Chronicles: A Morning of Whispers and Wisdom
Some mornings, the universe speaks in subtle nudges. It might be a perfectly timed song or the way the sunlight lands just so on the coffee cup. In my case, it could be an oracle spread that practically winks at me. Today’s cards?
Enlightenment (Chakra Wisdom Deck) popped out onto my desk and If love had a syllabus, this would be the first lesson. Love isn’t just sentimental fluff. It’s strategic, it’s transformative, and sometimes, it’s the voice in my head telling me not to reply to that text out of sheer impulse.
Then Lineage of the Rose (Rose Oracle Deck) shows up, a reminder of the love that came before, and It also highlights the love that surrounds me now and the love I’ll carry forward.
So, what now? Taking these whispers from the universe and tucking them into my metaphorical pocket, I move through the day with just a little more intention, open and ready. I am maybe even willing to share my snacks (which, let’s be honest, is the highest form of love).
What about you?
What’s your Heart Chakra telling you today?
Chakra Assignment Journaling with Heart
After (attempting) to complete the mudra and mantra exercises inspired by Rachel’s teachings, I dove into the journal prompts. However, let me give you a fair warning, today’s answers are intentionally short. This is largely because we have a jam-packed weekend ahead. With the full moon celebration on the beach taking place tonight, I’m shifting gears and prioritizing our TIME. So, let’s dive in and get moving!
- What aspects of my life bring me joy and pleasure?
Reflecting on the 4-week joy challenge, it’s clear that structured intention breeds happiness. Movement, laughter, spiritual exploration, and deep connections all fuel my sense of fulfillment. - How can I enhance my capacity for creativity and emotional expression?
By leaning into playfulness, whether it’s through oracle readings, intuitive movement, or spontaneous writing. Letting joy spill into creative spaces is a sacred act. - In what way do I connect with my emotions and allow myself to feel deeply?
There’s power in vulnerability. I’m learning that giving emotions space to breathe, rather than rushing past them. This is how true healing unfolds. - How can I cultivate a healthier relationship with my feelings and desires?
By listening. Honoring what my heart wants without judgment, but rather curiosity. - Identify any past hurts or grudges you may still be holding onto. What steps can you take to forgive and release these emotions?
A few old wounds linger, ones that don’t need to define me anymore. Forgiveness isn’t about excusing. It’s about liberating. - How do you express love and compassion towards yourself?
By embracing softness. Allowing myself joy. Speaking kindly about myself, rather than picking apart every flaw. - List some self-care practices that help you nurture your Heart Chakra.
- Heart-opening yoga poses
- Writing letters of gratitude
- Spending time in nature
- Creating without pressure
- Giving love freely
A Letter of Gratitude to My Family
To my family, the heartstrings that anchor me. Thank you. For love, for laughter, for the unwavering presence you bring to my life. You remind me that love is not just something we feel, but something we choose every day. I am endlessly grateful for you.
Wrapping Up Day 12
The heart chakra is never stagnant—it evolves, shifts, and deepens as we grow. Today was a reflection of that truth: walking in joy, embracing healing, and holding space for love in all forms.
Let the heart remain open. Let love continue to lead. And here’s to revisiting the Throat Chakra tomorrow. 💚
