Heart

The "heart light" (or light of the heart) is a beautiful, poetic, and deeply spiritual concept that appears in many traditions, meditations, and even everyday language.

Here are the main ways people understand and experience it:1. The Spiritual / Energetic Heart LightIn most spiritual, mystical, and energy-based teachings (yoga, chakras, New Age, Sufism, Kabbalah, HeartMath, etc.), the heart light refers to the radiant, living energy or divine spark located in the center of your chest — at the heart chakra (Anahata).It is often visualized or felt as:

• A glowing emerald-green, golden, white, or rose-pink sphere of light
• A soft, warm, pulsing radiance
• An inner sun or eternal flame that never goes out

This light represents:

• Pure unconditional love
• Compassion • forgiveness • empathy
• Your connection to the Divine / Higher Self / Source
• The seat of the soul or true "I"
• Healing & transformative energy that can expand outward to touch others

Many guided meditations invite you to:

• Place your hand on your heart
• Breathe slowly
• Imagine a small spark or ember in the center of your chest
• Watch it gently grow… brighter… warmer… until it fills your whole body
• Then let it radiate outward — to loved ones, to strangers, to the whole world

When this light is "turned on" or open, people often describe feelings of lightness, expansion, peace, emotional warmth, and a sense of being deeply connected to everything.2. The Emotional / Psychological Meaning ("Light Heart")In everyday language and literature, having a light heart (or "heart light") means the opposite of a heavy heart:

• Free from worry, guilt, or burdens
• Carefree • joyful • optimistic
• Cheerful and untroubled

Examples you might hear:

• "She left with a light heart" = happy and relieved
• "A light heart lives long" (old proverb) = cheerfulness promotes longevity

Neil Diamond even wrote a famous song called "Heartlight" (inspired by E.T.), with the chorus:

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Here the heart light is both literal (glowing love) and metaphorical (spreading joy).Which one feels right for you?Most people who ask about "the heart light" are usually sensing the spiritual version — that inner glow of love and presence many feel during deep meditation, moments of profound gratitude, or when sending healing energy to someone.If you'd like, try this tiny 30-second version right now:

Close your eyes → breathe slowly → put one hand over your heart → imagine a soft, warm light beginning to glow there… like a tiny sunrise inside your chest… let it grow just a little with each breath… feel its gentle warmth spreading…

How does it feel? That's the heart light — quiet, powerful, and always already inside you.
