Heart-Opening Sequence to Expand Your Aura

This sequence from Live Be Yoga ambassador, Brandon Sprat, will help you open your heart and expand your aura to attract more goodness into your life.

Live Be Yoga ambassador, Brandon Spratt, practicing Aura Kriya.

Our hearts experience so much in this lifetime. Keeping them open, clear, and stable can be challenging as there are so many forces in this existence that make us want to collapse, close and shut down our heart center. However, there are just as many forces that are loving, inspiration and encouraging.

This Kundalini Yoga set called Aura Kriya works to reset your electromagnetic field so you can attract positive energy and repel negativity. If you have been feeling a little “off” lately, this set will give you that jumpstart you may need or crave.

Each exercise can be practiced anywhere from 90 seconds to 3 minutes. But whatever amount of time you choose to practice each exercise, make sure you practice the same amount of time for each one.

As with all Kundalini sets, we start by tuning in. Here’s how:

Take a comfortable seat, close your eyes, and place your hands in prayer pose at your heart center
Chant the Adi Mantra three times: Ong namo guru dev namo (I bow to the divine teacher within)
Inhale deeply, suspend the breath, and release.
