Balance your heart chakra to attract
more love and understanding
I’m very excited about today’s chakra series installment because we’re focusing
on the heart chakra, which is located at
the center of the chest.
The heart chakra is associated with love and understanding, limitless
compassion, empathy and forgiveness. It supplies
energy for all
aspects of
love, joy,
compassion, and
surrender.
It also provides all
parts of the
energy field
with nurturing energy,
and can be a
source of spiritual connection and
guidance.
The heart chakra is about
love, kindness and affection.
The colors associated with this chakra are
green and pink.
When it is open, we are compassionate
and friendly, and we work at harmonious
relationships.
When our heart chakra is under-active,
we may be cold and distant.
If our heart chakra is strong, we enjoy
comfortable, loving and empathic relationships at home, at work and in our
community.
If our heart chakra is weak or
closed, we tend to sabotage our relationships
with distrust, anger, and a sense
that we’ll lose
our independence
if we rely
too much
on others.
A quick
way
to balance this
chakra is
to visualize yourself
breathing in
the colors green
or pink, and bringing that breath all the
way down to your heart
chakra. Breathe this way several times and then visualize your heart
chakra as a vibrant green or pink wheel
spinning in a clockwise direction. Continue breathing and visualizing until you
feel balanced. You can also do this exercise while holding or focusing on a green
aventurine or pink quartz crystal.
