The heart chakra is a humanitarian center which allow us to love, forgive and connect with other people and nature. It relates to how we feel and how we express our emotion to others. This is where healing of emotions starts, where pain is felt, released and healed. This is where we find our inner peace and the ability to coexist with other beings around us, to accept, to love and to give.
A balanced chakra: compassionate, empathetic, friendly, kind, forgiving, generous, and able to accommodate others.
A blocked chakra: despair, hate, envy, anger, critical, suspicious.
Healing the Heart Chakra
Our chakras respond directly to how we think or feel. Positive emotions allow good energy to flow freely and negative emotions close or weaken the chakra. Positive emotions transmit positive vibration to the universe and in turn attract to us manifestations associating with those emotions. Balancing or healing the root chakra can be achieved by having good emotions that supports this energy center. Start by loving and respecting yourself. When you can love and accept yourself, you can then learn to love others.
