All About the Heart Chakra
Experience More Love + Peace + Acceptance
If you often {or recently} experience Depleted Heart, Recent Grief, or Betrayal, then you might be experiencing a heart chakra block.
The heart chakra is the healing center. It is all about how you give + receive love. This is the center of your energy system. It governs the flow of life force to all areas in and out of the body. This also governs the balance between yin and yang, hot and cold, heavy and light. This is directly proportional to your level of awareness and your ability to have compassion for your Self, others, and Source.
What does a Balanced Heart Chakra look like?
Love, forgiveness, sense of surrender, compassion, wholeness, empathy, easily manifest, friendliness, peaceful, motivated/ing, nurture, and acceptance. Being open to love but remembering that in order to love and care for others, you must love and care for yourself first.
Common imbalances:
Fast + Over Active:
Receiving more than giving, jealousy, codependency, martyrdom, self-aggrandizement, egotism, self-centered, high expectations + judgement of others, clingy
Slow + Under Active/Depleted:
Giving more than receiving, inability to forgive, loneliness, lack of empathy, lack of self love, apathy, indifference, withdrawing, aimless, emotional burdens, holds grudges, fear or intimacy, narcissism, antisocial, withdrawn
Sometimes injuries present themselves when we need to bring a chakra back into harmony. For instance, if you have heart health problems such as high blood pressure + circulation, neck, shoulder, and upper back tension
