With our journey travelling and discovering the chakra system, we’ve looked at the crown, third eye and throat chakras.
We’ve finally reached the centre; not just with the heart chakra being in the middle with 3 chakras above it and 3 chakras below the heart chakra, it’s also the centre where everything and our whole existence of how we love and accept ourselves and others start. If we didn’t have love it would be like trying to drive a car with no battery in it.
Love is the start and foundation of ALL energy and existence. It’s the most powerful vibration ever known. Being LOVE I can live life balanced, in a state of gratitude and appreciation.
The Heart Chakra, also known as the 4th chakra is located in the middle of the chest. With mainly governing the lungs, heart, rib cage, circulation and the upper back. The heart chakra’s energy is associated with the colour green.
When your heart chakra is balanced, meaning energy is flowing through the heart chakra and aligned:
- We love and accept ourselves for who we are
- You know and accept that you are worthy of love
- You choose compassion over judgement
- You’re connected to others
- You choose and have unconditional love for yourself and others
- You energetically vibrate positive, kind and loving energy, and attract and receive the same energy
- You trust yourself and others and the process of life
Symptoms to watch out for that might indicate that the heart chakra is out of balance with either being under or overactive:
- Feeling you need to defend yourself, have your guard up and explain or justify yourself
- Feeling disconnected and isolating yourself from the world around you
- Jealousy
- Codependency and even feeling dependant on others to fulfil needs you believe you can’t give yourself e.g emotional
- Always feeling responsible or the need to be the saviour
Here are a few indicators to help you recognise when and if your heart chakra might be underactive:
Feeling…
- Lonely and abandoned
- Unloved and unwanted
- Critical and even over critical of self and others
- Experiencing jealousy of partners, friends, colleagues ect.
Indicators that your heart chakra might be overactive:
- Finding it difficult to set or have poor boundaries
- Being overly sympathetic
- Having a tendency to sacrifice yourself for others in order to please others for acceptance, being valued and loved
With recognising the value of the heart chakra and appreciating the benefits and how the heart chakra allows us the opportunity to experience life and Iove unconditionally, let’s see how we can support our heart chakra:
Crystals I use during energy healing that I find works very effectively when healing the heart chakra are:
- Rosé Quartz
- Selenite
- Watermelon Tourmaline
- Malachite
- Unakite
- Moss Agate
You can wear them on you or place them in a space where they are in close range of you.
Essential oils I like to use and find effective with healing and supporting the heart chakra during energy healing and making products like personalised sprays, energy medicines e.g. healing baths are:
- Rose
- Jasmine
- Lavender
- Geranium
- Neroli
- Sandalwood
You can also use these oils by applying them to your temples, wrists and rubbing it on your chest where the heart chakra is located.
In my next blog, we’ll look at the solar plexus.
Thanks for taking the time to enjoy this blog with me. Till next time stay blessed and love yourself unconditionally.
