Temple of Lilith Heart Chakra Yoga

The Heart of the Serpent: Anahata in Lilithian Yoga

In the Temple of Lilith, we do not speak of love as a passive light—but as a force. The heart chakra, known in ancient traditions as Anāhata, is the temple’s emerald fire. It is the dwelling place of truth, sovereignty, devotion, and the sacred grief that refines us. In Lilithian Yoga, the heart is not merely a vessel of compassion—it is a blade of discernment, a well of ancestral memory, and the throne of your wild divinity.

Located at the center of the chest, Anāhata is the gateway between body and spirit. It bridges the primal serpentine wisdom of the root with the vision of the crown. When this chakra flows freely, we do not seek love—we become it. When it is blocked, we may find ourselves clinging, doubting, or silencing what needs to rise. An untempered heart in Lilith’s current does not weep—it withholds. And that is not our way.

A Lilithian Heart Awakening

We do not “heal” the heart in the Temple. We awaken it. We anoint it. We unbind it.

Lilith’s children do not come to this work untouched by pain. We enter sacred practice to transmute betrayal into power, grief into presence, and longing into sovereign magnetism. Through breath, chant, movement, and intention, we open this gate not to please—but to reclaim.

If you find yourself numbing, clinging to what has passed, or fearing connection—these are signs the heart has armored. When the green chakra dims, we feel disconnected, jealous, overly dependent, or deeply isolated. Physically, it may manifest as tightness in the chest, breathlessness, or even cardiovascular unrest. None of this means you are broken. It means your temple is calling for ritual.

Practices for the Serpent Heart

In Lilithian Yoga, we work with both form and formlessness. Movement is our offering. Stillness is our altar. To awaken the heart:

• Begin with gentle heart-opening poses such as Cobra (for emergence), Camel Ride (for release), and Reclining Bound Angle (for self-receiving).

• Use pranayama such as the Green Flame Breath to circulate energy from the heart outward, igniting the dormant embers of self-love.

• Pair your practice with ritualistic invocation. Chanting “Aum Shakti Lilith Aum” while breathing into the chest activates both the emotional and etheric body.

• Anoint the chest before practice with a sacred oil of rose, jasmine, and dragon’s blood. Let the scent remind you of your worth and presence.

• Place crystals such as emerald, green aventurine, or malachite at your heart center while you rest, allowing the earth’s current to support the awakening.

Affirmations for the Wild Heart

Affirmations in this path are not wishful thinking. They are spells. Keys. Invocations.

Speak them aloud with reverence or whisper them through breathwork:

• “My heart is the  emerald shrine. I open, I feel, I remain.”

• “I am not afraid to love from my power.”

• “What I release does not weaken me. It awakens me.”

• “I release the past not to forget it, but to rise through and above it.”

• “I honor the sacred longing within.”

When You Are Ready…

The Lilithian path is not about chasing softness. It is about becoming real. Becoming whole. The awakened heart is not always gentle—it is fierce, boundless, and self-honoring. This chakra is where the priestess meets the human. Where the unbound soul remembers what it means to feel everything and remain rooted.

You do not have to be fearless to open your heart. You simply have to be willing.

When you’re ready, return to the mat. Light the flame. Call upon the Mother of Exile. And let your own breath become the drumbeat of your return.

🜄 Sītali Prāṇāyāma – Cooling Breath of the Serpent

The Sacred Tongue of the Goddess

Element: Water

Time to Practice: 3–10 minutes

Where it belongs: After fiery kriyas, during hot weather, in emotional overwhelm, or during hormonal transitions

🔥 Physical Benefits

This breath literally cools the body—not just metaphorically. When you draw air over the moist curled tongue, it lowers body temperature internally and helps regulate:

• Overheating from exercise, summer weather, or intense movement

• Inflammation, especially in the joints and gut

• Menopausal and perimenopausal heat, including:

• Hot flashes

• Night sweats

• Irritability linked to heat and hormonal shifts

It also supports the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), reducing:

• Tension headaches

• Jaw and neck tightness

• Digestive discomfort caused by heat or stress

🜂 Energetic & Emotional Benefits

• Cools the emotional body—especially anger, frustration, or fire-driven anxiety

• Balances pitta dosha in Ayurvedic terms, which governs metabolism and transformation

• Soothes the heart and throat chakras, helping us speak with clarity rather than heat

• Softens reactive energy so we can respond from wisdom rather than wound

• Supports shadow work, allowing emotions to rise and pass without being consumed by them

🜃 Lilithian Mysticism

Sītali is the coiled tongue of the Goddess. When you curl your tongue and breathe, you embody the serpent—Lilith in her cooling, healing form. This breath is the whisper of the cave, the coiled pause before transformation.

It teaches us that not all power is fire. Some power is ice against the fever. Some strength is in restraint, in grace, in the cooling balm of presence. When you are overwhelmed, burning, or consumed by hormonal tides—this is your sanctuary.

🜁 Suggested Practice:

• Use after fiery kriya or heart-opening work

• During hormonal surges or hot flashes

• To calm before sleep or during moments of emotional eruption

• During ritual cooling phases (waning moon, Water element rites, etc.)
