Heart chakra: 5 ways to heal the heart space
Anahata – heart space, our fourth chakra. We have recently begun a new Age of Aquarius, which also involves an energetic shift from solar plexus chakra activity to the heart chakra. This is the perfect time to work on harmony within ourselves.
The heart chakra is located in the heart area and is symbolized by the lotus flower with twelve petals and the colors green, gold and pink. It is responsible for the feeling of unconditional love, successful relationships with others, ease of forgiveness, sensitivity to beauty, allowing oneself to give and take with joy. A huge impact on this chakra comes from our thoughts in the area of topics about love, forgiveness and relationships with others. By working with it, we can also discover its rich potential for healing ourselves and others.
Manifestations of a blocked heart chakra:
you have a belief that you are incapable of loving or undeserving of love;
you have difficulty feeling empathy;
you tend to complain;
you are indifferent to the beauty of the world, unable to feel awe;
egocentrism;
a sense of loneliness;
impulsiveness;
difficulties in relationships with others;
you dislike group cooperation;
you dwell on old wounds and have trouble forgiving;
you feel an imbalance in your life;
you have problems enjoying other people’s successes, you easily fall into jealousy, envy;
lack of self-acceptance and confidence in life;
secretiveness, closure to others and love;
a sense of emptiness;
fear of rejection;
lack of feeling joy in life;
heart health problems.
A low level of energy in this chakra manifests itself through a sense of undeserving love, emotional swings, a tendency to focus only on oneself and a rejection of the heart’s voice. A high level manifests itself in overprotectiveness, excessively fulfilling the needs of others, worrying about what other people think/say, helping by force.Harmony in the heart chakra allows one to follow the voice of the heart, free oneself from excessive attachment to people and the material world, feel unconditional love, forget grudges, engage wholeheartedly in one’s activities, exude love, be compassionate and establish healthy, harmonious relationships with others.
Ways to unblock the heart chakra
The basic and simplest tool is to focus attention on the heart chakra. The very awareness of its existence activates the flow of energy within us. The second step is to cultivate self-love. Start treating yourself with tenderness, attentiveness, taking care of your needs. Repeat to your reflection in the mirror the words “I love you”, look with pride and joy at your body, face, appreciate yourself. Once you love yourself, begin to cultivate love for others. You can add to this the practice of Loving Kindness meditation. What else can you do?
