Love Begins Within: Gentle Ways to Let Love Shine

Fall/winter can be your seasons of finding love. There’s something about this time of year—it's quiet stillness and gentle pull inward—that makes the heart more honest, more open, and more willing to receive.

 It can be a season of emotional tending, a time to soften the edges we hardened throughout the year.

For those who are single, fall/winter can be a season to rebuild inner trust, rewrite your relationship with love, and call in a new kind of partnership—one that meets you where you are, honors your heart, and feels like ease instead of effort. This is the time to reconnect with yourself first, creating the warmth you want mirrored back to you.

For those in partnerships, fall/winter becomes a sanctuary—a chance to reconnect without the noise or pace of the outside world. To create small rituals of closeness. A slower embrace. A quiet conversation at the end of the day. Moments that remind you why you chose each other in the first place.

Whether single or partnered, fall/ winter gives the heart a gentle place to explore its capacity for love, tenderness, and renewal.

The purpose of this heart chakra practice is to soften, open, and invite love—whether for yourself, for others, or for life in general. By visualizing the green light and connecting with your breath, the exercise gently encourages emotional healing, self-compassion, and readiness to receive and share love in a balanced, mindful way.

To Begin:

Place your hand over your heart.Close your eyes.Breathe slowly and deeply.

Imagine a dim flicker of green light at the center of your chest. With each inhale, see it grow; with each exhale, let it expand brighter and warmer, filling your chest with gentle radiance.

With each breath, whisper to yourself:"I am grateful to give love. I am grateful to receive love."

Continue until the flicker becomes a steady, bright light—glowing in your heart, filling you with its warmth and beauty.

Reflection PromptWhere in my life am I ready to allow more love, or softness?

This is your green light: your permission to welcome love—in all its forms—back into your life.

To Your Health + Happiness,
