Speaker 2 (00:05):
Heart chakra journal prompts.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
But it sounded really interesting when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What exactly are heart chakra journal prompts?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, they're basically journal prompts, but
they're designed to specificallyhelp you work with and activate
your heart chakra.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
So they're not just about general reflection, like a
normal journal prompt would be.
They're specifically designedto help you open your heart.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That sounds interesting.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, and our source for these prompts is this blog
post from Lestallion.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Oh, Lestallion.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, no Lestallion.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I've heard of them.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, they're a company that makes journals.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh, okay, so this is probably like a marketing thing
for them.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It probably is, yeah, but honestly the prompts
themselves seemed reallyinteresting, regardless of
whether they're trying to selljournals or not.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, true.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And it was published just a few days ago, on December
29th 2024.
So it's pretty new, Okay cool.
So I thought it'd be fun tokind of go through these prompts
together and see what we think.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I'm down.
So how are these 50 promptsorganized?
So List?
So how?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
are these 50 prompts organized?
So Lestallion grouped them intofive different categories.
The first is exploringself-love.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Then there's strengthening relationships.
Okay, healing past wounds,interesting, cultivating
compassion.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And then opening your heart to possibilities.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Wow, that's a lot to cover.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It is.
There's a lot there, yeah.
So I thought maybe we couldstart by talking about a few of
the prompts that really stoodout to us.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Like maybe one from each category, just to kind of
get a sense of what they're allabout.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, so let's start with exploring self-love.
Okay, one of the prompts inthis category that I thought was
particularly interesting wasreflect on a time when you felt
truly comfortable with yourself,regardless of external
validation.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Ooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I thought so too, because it's so easy to get
caught up in, you know, seekingvalidation from others.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Especially nowadays with social media.
Exactly it's like we'reconstantly looking for external
approval.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Right, and this prompt is all about finding that
inner sense of worthiness thatdoesn't depend on anyone or
anything else.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I love that.
It's so important.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
What about you?
Did any other prompts fromexploring self-love stand out to
you?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, actually there was another one that I thought
was really interesting.
It asks how does self-lovesupport our relationships with
others?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh, that's a good one .
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I thought so too, because it kind of challenges
that idea that self-care isselfish.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Which I think is a really important point to make.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, it's like that, saying you can't pour from an
empty cup.
Exactly If you're not takingcare of yourself, you can't
really show up for anyone else.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Right, and journaling about this prompt can be a good
way to kind of uncover thosepatterns of self-neglect or
people-pleasing that might behindering our ability to give
and receive love fully.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And Lestallion actually included a really
beautiful quote in their blogpost that I thought was really
relevant here.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, what is it?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It says, self-love is the foundation of all love.
Nurture your heart and it willradiate kindness to the world.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Me too.
It's so true, it is Okay.
So, moving on to the nextcategory, strengthening
relationships.
Okay, one of the prompts thatreally caught my eye in this
category was reflect on arelationship that has brought
you immense joy and examine whatmakes it so meaningful and
fulfilling.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh, that's a nice one .
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I thought so too, because it's so easy to focus on
the negative aspects ofrelationships.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Especially when things are tough Right, but this
prompt encourages us to reallyappreciate the good.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Exactly, and I think by understanding what makes
those positive relationshipswork, we can learn a lot about
what we need and want in ourrelationships in general.
Totally Okay.
So what about you?
Did any prompts fromstrengthening relationships
stand out to you?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
important.
It asks reflect on how youhandle conflicts in
relationships.
How can you approach them withunderstanding and compassion?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, that's a good one .
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, because conflicts are inevitable.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But it's how we handle them that really matters
Exactly, and this promptencourages us to think about how
we can approach those conflictswith more compassion and
understanding.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Which can be really tough.
It can Especially when you'rein the heat of the moment, for
sure, but I think it's soimportant to try.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because if we can learn to communicate more
effectively during thosedifficult times, it can actually
strengthen our relationshipsrather than tear them apart
Absolutely.
And there was another greatquote from Lestallion that I
thought was really relevant here.
It says strong relationshipsgrow from open hearts.
Give and receive love freelyand watch your connections
(04:41):
blossom.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I like that one a lot .
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, so let's move on to the next category healing
past wounds.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
This one is a little bit heavier, but I think it's
really important.
Yeah for sure.
One of the prompts in thiscategory that I thought was
really powerful was write abouta painful experience that still
lingers in your heart.
How releasing its hold on youmight impact your life today.
That's a deep one, right, but Ithink it's so important to
(05:09):
acknowledge those past hurts andto allow ourselves to process
them.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Because if we don't, they can really hold us back in
life.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Absolutely, they can really weigh you down Right.
What about you?
Did any prompts from thiscategory stand out to you?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
interesting.
It asks reflect on how pastheartbreaks have taught us about
our capacity to love and grow.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Hmm, that's an interesting perspective.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, because it's kind of like reframing those
experiences from failures toopportunities for learning.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Right, like you're not looking at it as a negative
thing.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Rather as something that helped you grow.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Right, and I think that's a really valuable way to
look at it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Definitely.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Because, even though heartbreaks can be incredibly
painful, oh yeah.
They can also teach us a lotabout ourselves and what we want
in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And Lestallion included another great quote in
this section that I thought wasreally fitting.
It says healing your heart is ajourney.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Every journey, every step forward brings you closer
to peace and wholeness.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's beautiful it is.
It's a good reminder that it'sa process.
It doesn't happen overnight,exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's okay, right, it's okay to take your time,
exactly so we've covered threecategories so far we have
exploring self-love,strengthening relationships and
healing past wounds yeah, westill have two more to go.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Two more to go, cultivating compassion and
opening your heart topossibilities.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, those sound good.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm excited to dive into those.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So should we take a quick break and then come back
and talk about those?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, let's do that All right.
So where do we want to go next?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, we've got cultivating compassion and
opening your heart topossibilities.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, which one do you want to tackle first?
Ooh, let's do cultivatingcompassion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, cultivating compassion?
It is, yeah.
So there were a couple ofprompts in this category that I
thought were really interesting.
One of them was reflect on howbeing kind to others mirrors
being kind to yourself.
Oh, that's a good one.
Yeah, I thought so too, becauseit really highlights that
connection betweenself-compassion and compassion
(07:12):
for others.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right, it's like you can't really have one without
the other.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And it's a good reminder that self-compassion is
not selfish.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's actually essential for being able to show
up for other people.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What about you?
Did any other prompts from thiscategory stand out to you?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Um, yeah, actually there was one that.
I thought was really relevantto what's going on in the world
right now.
Oh, really yeah.
It asks how can you show morecompassion to those around you,
even during difficult moments?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh wow, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It is, but I think it's so important.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Especially these days .
Speaker 2 (07:46):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Because it's so easy to get caught up in our own
little bubbles.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And to forget that everyone is going through
something.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, and everyone's fighting their own battles,
exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, and so this prompt is kind of like a
reminder to extend thatcompassion, yeah, even when it's
hard, even to people who youdon't agree with.
Yeah, exactly that's a goodpoint.
It's about recognizing thatshared humanity that we all have
.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I like that Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So what about opening your heart to possibilities?
Ooh, yeah, any prompts in therethat jumped out at you.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
interesting.
It asks write about somethingyou've been afraid to try.
How can trusting your hearthelp you take that step?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Hmm, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, because it's all about tapping into that
intuition.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, and trusting that inner voice.
Right, which can be scary.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It can be.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But it can also be really rewarding.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh, absolutely, when you finally take that leap of
faith.
Yeah, and it's like you'reopening yourself up to all these
new possibilities that youmight not have even considered
before.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And there's another prompt in this category that I
thought was kind of along thesame lines.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh yeah, what was it?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It asks reflect on how embracing uncertainty allows
you to be open to newexperiences, new relationships
and new ways of being.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Ooh, I like that one.
Yeah, it's kind of like thatone.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, it's kind of like a challenge.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
To step outside of our comfort zone, for sure, and
to embrace the unknown.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Which can be really scary for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It can be, but it can also be incredibly liberating.
It can Because, when we let goof that need for certainty, yeah
we open ourselves up to so muchmore.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Right, it's like you're saying yes to life.
Yeah, and all the possibilitiesthat it holds.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And Lestallion included another quote in this
section that I thought wasreally beautiful.
What is it?
It says an open heart is agateway to infinite
possibilities.
Trust its wisdom and let loveguide your path.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I love that one.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So, yeah, I think we've covered all five
categories now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
We have.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Exploring self-love, strengthening relationships,
healing past wounds, cultivatingcompassion and opening your
heart to possibilities.
That was a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I feel like we got a pretty good overview of
what these heart chakra journalprompts are all about.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
And now I'm really curious to hear what you think
about the power of journalingwith these prompts in general.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Like.
What do you think the potentialbenefits are?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Hmm, that's a good question.
Hmm, that's a good question.
Well, I think journaling withthese prompts can be really
powerful.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, because it's not just about you know writing
down your thoughts and feelings.
It's about actively engagingwith these concepts of love,
compassion and connection.
Okay, so it's like you'retaking these abstract ideas and
making them more concrete.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And by working through these prompts, you're
actually cultivating thosequalities within yourself.
I like that, yeah, and as youcultivate those qualities you
start to see the effects in yourlife.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, yeah, how so.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, your relationships might improve.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You might feel more connected to the people around
you.
You might even find yourselfapproaching challenges with more
grace and ease.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That would be amazing .
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, it's like you're creating a ripple effect.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, and what I appreciate about these specific
prompts is that they're framedin a way that directly engages
the heart chakra.
So it's not just about thinkingabout love and compassion
intellectually.
It's about feeling them,embodying them and letting them
guide your actions.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's about moving beyond the mental realm and
tapping into the wisdom of ourhearts.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The heart chakra is often described as the bridge
between our physical andspiritual selves.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And these prompts act as guides to help us cross that
bridge.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's a great analogy, thanks.
So the more we work with theseprompts, the stronger that
connection becomes.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, absolutely.
It's like any muscle the moreyou use it, the stronger it gets
.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And as our heart chakras become more balanced and
energized, we naturally radiatemore love, compassion and joy
into the world.
That's beautiful it is, andit's a reminder that our
individual journeys ofself-discovery and
heart-centered living contributeto a more compassionate and
loving world.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I love that this deep dive has been so inspiring.
I'm feeling really energizedand excited to incorporate these
heart chakra prompts into myown journaling practice.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Me too, and I encourage all our listeners to
do the same.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, pick a prompt that speaks to you.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, find a quiet space.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And just see where it takes you.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Exactly, and remember you don't need a fancy journal
or any special equipment to dothis.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Right.
All you need is a pen and somepaper.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And an open heart.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This has been such a great conversation.
Thank you so much for sharingyour insights and expertise with
us.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's been my pleasure and, to all our listeners,
thank you for joining us on thisheart opening journey.
Speaker 1 (12:35):

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh, that's a nice one .
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I thought so too, because it's so easy to focus on
the negative aspects ofrelationships.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Especially when things are tough Right, but this
prompt encourages us to reallyappreciate the good.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Exactly, and I think by understanding what makes
those positive relationshipswork, we can learn a lot about
what we need and want in ourrelationships in general.
Totally Okay.
So what about you?
Did any prompts fromstrengthening relationships
stand out to you?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
important.
It asks reflect on how youhandle conflicts in
relationships.
How can you approach them withunderstanding and compassion?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, that's a good one .
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, because conflicts are inevitable.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But it's how we handle them that really matters
Exactly, and this promptencourages us to think about how
we can approach those conflictswith more compassion and
understanding.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Which can be really tough.
It can Especially when you'rein the heat of the moment, for
sure, but I think it's soimportant to try.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because if we can learn to communicate more
effectively during thosedifficult times, it can actually
strengthen our relationshipsrather than tear them apart
Absolutely.
And there was another greatquote from Lestallion that I
thought was really relevant here.
It says strong relationshipsgrow from open hearts.
Give and receive love freelyand watch your connections
(04:41):
blossom.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I like that one a lot .
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, so let's move on to the next category healing
past wounds.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
This one is a little bit heavier, but I think it's
really important.
Yeah for sure.
One of the prompts in thiscategory that I thought was
really powerful was write abouta painful experience that still
lingers in your heart.
How releasing its hold on youmight impact your life today.
That's a deep one, right, but Ithink it's so important to
(05:09):
acknowledge those past hurts andto allow ourselves to process
them.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Because if we don't, they can really hold us back in
life.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Absolutely, they can really weigh you down Right.
What about you?
Did any prompts from thiscategory stand out to you?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
interesting.
It asks reflect on how pastheartbreaks have taught us about
our capacity to love and grow.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Hmm, that's an interesting perspective.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, because it's kind of like reframing those
experiences from failures toopportunities for learning.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Right, like you're not looking at it as a negative
thing.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Rather as something that helped you grow.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Right, and I think that's a really valuable way to
look at it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Definitely.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Because, even though heartbreaks can be incredibly
painful, oh yeah.
They can also teach us a lotabout ourselves and what we want
in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And Lestallion included another great quote in
this section that I thought wasreally fitting.
It says healing your heart is ajourney.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Every journey, every step forward brings you closer
to peace and wholeness.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's beautiful it is.
It's a good reminder that it'sa process.
It doesn't happen overnight,exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's okay, right, it's okay to take your time,
exactly so we've covered threecategories so far we have
exploring self-love,strengthening relationships and
healing past wounds yeah, westill have two more to go.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Two more to go, cultivating compassion and
opening your heart topossibilities.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, those sound good.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm excited to dive into those.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So should we take a quick break and then come back
and talk about those?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, let's do that All right.
So where do we want to go next?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, we've got cultivating compassion and
opening your heart topossibilities.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, which one do you want to tackle first?
Ooh, let's do cultivatingcompassion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, cultivating compassion?
It is, yeah.
So there were a couple ofprompts in this category that I
thought were really interesting.
One of them was reflect on howbeing kind to others mirrors
being kind to yourself.
Oh, that's a good one.
Yeah, I thought so too, becauseit really highlights that
connection betweenself-compassion and compassion
(07:12):
for others.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right, it's like you can't really have one without
the other.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And it's a good reminder that self-compassion is
not selfish.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's actually essential for being able to show
up for other people.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What about you?
Did any other prompts from thiscategory stand out to you?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Um, yeah, actually there was one that.
I thought was really relevantto what's going on in the world
right now.
Oh, really yeah.
It asks how can you show morecompassion to those around you,
even during difficult moments?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh wow, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It is, but I think it's so important.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Especially these days .
Speaker 2 (07:46):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Because it's so easy to get caught up in our own
little bubbles.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And to forget that everyone is going through
something.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, and everyone's fighting their own battles,
exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, and so this prompt is kind of like a
reminder to extend thatcompassion, yeah, even when it's
hard, even to people who youdon't agree with.
Yeah, exactly that's a goodpoint.
It's about recognizing thatshared humanity that we all have
.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I like that Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So what about opening your heart to possibilities?
Ooh, yeah, any prompts in therethat jumped out at you.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, there was one that I thought was really
interesting.
It asks write about somethingyou've been afraid to try.
How can trusting your hearthelp you take that step?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Hmm, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, because it's all about tapping into that
intuition.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, and trusting that inner voice.
Right, which can be scary.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It can be.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But it can also be really rewarding.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh, absolutely, when you finally take that leap of
faith.
Yeah, and it's like you'reopening yourself up to all these
new possibilities that youmight not have even considered
before.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And there's another prompt in this category that I
thought was kind of along thesame lines.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh yeah, what was it?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It asks reflect on how embracing uncertainty allows
you to be open to newexperiences, new relationships
and new ways of being.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Ooh, I like that one.
Yeah, it's kind of like thatone.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, it's kind of like a challenge.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
To step outside of our comfort zone, for sure, and
to embrace the unknown.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Which can be really scary for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It can be, but it can also be incredibly liberating.
It can Because, when we let goof that need for certainty, yeah
we open ourselves up to so muchmore.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Right, it's like you're saying yes to life.
Yeah, and all the possibilitiesthat it holds.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And Lestallion included another quote in this
section that I thought wasreally beautiful.
What is it?
It says an open heart is agateway to infinite
possibilities.
Trust its wisdom and let loveguide your path.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I love that one.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So, yeah, I think we've covered all five
categories now.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
We have.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Exploring self-love, strengthening relationships,
healing past wounds, cultivatingcompassion and opening your
heart to possibilities.
That was a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I feel like we got a pretty good overview of
what these heart chakra journalprompts are all about.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
And now I'm really curious to hear what you think
about the power of journalingwith these prompts in general.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Like.
What do you think the potentialbenefits are?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Hmm, that's a good question.
Hmm, that's a good question.
Well, I think journaling withthese prompts can be really
powerful.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, because it's not just about you know writing
down your thoughts and feelings.
It's about actively engagingwith these concepts of love,
compassion and connection.
Okay, so it's like you'retaking these abstract ideas and
making them more concrete.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And by working through these prompts, you're
actually cultivating thosequalities within yourself.
I like that, yeah, and as youcultivate those qualities you
start to see the effects in yourlife.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, yeah, how so.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, your relationships might improve.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You might feel more connected to the people around
you.
You might even find yourselfapproaching challenges with more
grace and ease.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That would be amazing .
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, it's like you're creating a ripple effect.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, and what I appreciate about these specific
prompts is that they're framedin a way that directly engages
the heart chakra.
So it's not just about thinkingabout love and compassion
intellectually.
It's about feeling them,embodying them and letting them
guide your actions.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's about moving beyond the mental realm and
tapping into the wisdom of ourhearts.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The heart chakra is often described as the bridge
between our physical andspiritual selves.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And these prompts act as guides to help us cross that
bridge.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's a great analogy, thanks.
So the more we work with theseprompts, the stronger that
connection becomes.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, absolutely.
It's like any muscle the moreyou use it, the stronger it gets
.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And as our heart chakras become more balanced and
energized, we naturally radiatemore love, compassion and joy
into the world.
That's beautiful it is, andit's a reminder that our
individual journeys ofself-discovery and
heart-centered living contributeto a more compassionate and
loving world.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I love that this deep dive has been so inspiring.
I'm feeling really energizedand excited to incorporate these
heart chakra prompts into myown journaling practice.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Me too, and I encourage all our listeners to
do the same.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, pick a prompt that speaks to you.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, find a quiet space.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And just see where it takes you.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Exactly, and remember you don't need a fancy journal
or any special equipment to dothis.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Right.
All you need is a pen and somepaper.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And an open heart.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This has been such a great conversation.
Thank you so much for sharingyour insights and expertise with
us.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's been my pleasure and, to all our listeners,
thank you for joining us on thisheart opening journey.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
