How to Balance the Heart Chakra – Ultimate Guide!

Today I will be sharing practices and habits on how to balance the heart chakra.

The heart chakra is the fourth out of seven chakras in the human body and is referred to as ‘Anahata’ chakra in Sanskrit.

The word ‘Anahata’ translates to ‘unhurt.’ It is located at the centre of the spine at the heart level.

An active Anahata chakra paints your life with compassion, love, empathy, and forgiveness. The fourth chakra radiates the feeling of trust, generosity, gratitude, and connectedness in you.

The heart chakra is symbolised by a green six-pointed star inside a 12-petaled flower. This chakra is known to have feminine energy and is associated with air.

The heart chakra happens to be the middle chakra of the seven human chakras which unites the physical and spiritual chakras.

By connecting the lower and upper three chakras the fourth chakra acts as a bridge between the earth and the spirit.

How we treat others (as well as ourselves) is very much guided by one’s Heart Chakra.

When the Heart Chakra is centred, you’re better able to express/receive unconditional love for others as well as yourself.

 

 

What colour is associated with the heart chakra?

The heart chakra is associated with the colour green, but it’s also associated with the colour pink

Green is a very soothing and calming energy which promotes feelings of harmony and security as its associated with nature.

Pink is a colour of sweetness, romance and a loving sensitivity. All of these energies are what produces true unconditional love for another, in spite of any flaws or imperfections.

As such, when the heart chakra is open, or in the process of opening, the capacity for unconditional love and acceptance is strong, and being able to experience this feeling naturally raises your vibration.

 

Symptoms of unbalanced heart chakra

The heart chakra can go inactive due to both physical and emotional hurtful situations and a change in environment.

It manifests into blocking of energy flow or overflow of energy, either of them being considered problematic cases.
Below are the symptoms to recognise the imbalance in heart chakra:

  • Jealousy
  • Fear of intimacy
  • Trying to please; co-dependency.
  • Feeling of closed down
  • Feeling of either victimization or rescuer.
  • Overly defensive.
  • Extreme isolation; anti-social.
  • Yearning for approval from others.
  • Not being able to forgive and holding onto grudges even for the slightest of things.
  • Respiratory ailments including lung infections, breathing issues, and bronchitis.
  • Circulatory and heart-related problems.

You experience ‘heart chakra pain,’ if your Anahata chakra is blocked.

 

Where is the heart chakra?

The heart chakra is located in the centre of your chest. It is the fourth chakra, but the first of the higher chakras.

The lower chakras include the solar plexus being the third, the sacral chakra being the second and the root chakra being the first and the base.

how-to-balance-the-heart-chakra

Once you master the lower three chakras, you will have a solid foundation to begin working on the higher chakras.

When the heart chakra is out of balance, you may lack the ability to be open and receptive to others. You may not be able to forgive easily and/or lack compassion as well as hold onto grudges.

 

When does the heart chakra close?

Many times, someone who has been deeply wounded or heartbroken will have a closed heart chakra, which is a normal response to this type of pain.

Although, the only way to truly heal the heart chakra, is to open your heart to love again.

The good news for those who have experienced heartbreak, is that if you’re nervous to open your heart to love again with another person, you can simply start by loving yourself, which the heart chakra is also associated with.

The ability to love another starts with the ability to love the self. When you love yourself, you know what your needs are, you respect your own boundaries and you essentially properly nurture and ‘parent’ yourself.

 

How to Balance the Heart Chakra – Ultimate Guide!

 

Creative visualisation meditation

Creative visualisation is a exercise used to promote manifestation. This technique requires the use of visualising what you want and experiencing the emotions and feelings you would have if it were your reality.

You can use this meditation to open and balance your heart chakra by visualising this energy point during its healing process.

how-to-balance-the-heart-chakra

First, visualise a vibrant green spinning ball of energy located at your heart. While this ball of light is active; connect with feelings of love, light, compassion, and gratitude.

All the while, stay open to receive love directly from the universe. Simply, allow those gifts to flow right into your heart energy source and breathe.

 

 

Breathwork

The heart chakra’s element is air, and it relates to our lungs as well as our hearts. So, some simple breathing exercises can help to release blockages and open your heart chakra.

Concentrate on taking deep breaths, using your chest instead of your diaphragm. You can combine this with meditation, imaging a gentle green light bathing your chest as you inhale and exhale.

Or you might visualise a rose blooming in your chest while you breathe. Each breath feeds the flower, helping it grow stronger and more beautiful.

 

 

Practice self-love

Self-love is a deep concept and one which can be connected with essentially self-parenting as to love the self is to take care of the self

Happiness-Is-Your Essential-Nature

This includes all aspects of care including physical and mental health, taking care of your responsibilities, getting your social needs met, learning skills to better improve your life, following your true passions and much, much more.

Self-love involves being your own best friend and cheerleader for your life. This includes encouraging yourself, never giving up on yourself and saying nice and uplifting things to yourself.

 

 

Be patient

Learning to love the self is a gradual process as opening the heart chakra is also a gradual process.

Once you heal and open your heart chakra, the rest of the journey up the chakras becomes more spiritually and divinely connected to source and your higher-self.

Connecting with these higher planes of existence and awareness requires you to be at a certain level vibrationally, which is why it’s always recommended to begin working with the lower chakras first.

The reason for this is because transitioning between the spiritual reality and the physical reality can be intense, as the vibrational state of both dimensions are vastly different.

Affirmations

Simply, affirmations are phrases you say out loud or think to yourself. In detail, affirmation defined means the act of affirming; Hence, when you say or think a phrase over and over again you are affirming that it is true.

Use affirmations to affirm that your heart is open, balanced, and full of love and light!

Here are some of my favourite healing affirmations:

  • My heart space radiates powerful green light.
  • I live in harmony with all other beings.
  • I am open to give and receive love.
  • I am compassionate and connect with others.
  • I am open to love and be loved.
  • I am loving awareness.
  • I accept and acknowledge myself
  • I nurture my inner self.
  • I am grateful for all that I have got.
  • I feel a sense of unity with all that is.
  • I accept things as they are.
  • I embrace forgiveness.
  • I am grateful for the challenges that shaped me.

 

 

Crystal therapy

To some, crystals are just beautiful rocks and stones to look at or to decorate with. However, what many people don’t know is that they carry powerful energy and when used correctly can aid your spiritual wellbeing.

Meditate with crystals that align with the heart chakra to promote healthy feelings associated with it.

Some popular crystals to use to balance the heart chakra are rose quartz, green aventurine, and malachite.

Eat the right food

What you eat has a huge impact on how you feel, this is a known fact – unhealthy foods are going to make you feel sluggish and drained while fresh healthy food makes you feel energised.

What many people don’t know is that the food you eat also contributed to the health of your chakras.

For a healthy and balanced heart chakra add in more green foods such as spinach, broccoli, avocados, cucumber, and kiwi.

 

Practice Gratitude

Gratitude is the emotion of being thankful, showing appreciation, and returning kindness.

how-to-balance-the-heart-chakra

Being grateful is a beautiful and harmonious way to live as it attracts more love, happiness, and abundance into your life.

A simple way to practice gratitude is by saying 5 things you are grateful for upon waking up and going to sleep.

 

 

Practice yoga

Many energy healers believe that movement is a great way to open blocked chakras.

One of the best ways to move your body is through yoga. Try performing poses associated with the blocked chakras.

For example, if your heart chakra is blocked, perform moves that open your chest and permit you to breathe freely.

Visit an energy healer

Energy healers can direct the energy inside your body to improve the flow within your chakras.

You can try several types of energy healers, including Reiki practitioners, chakra alignment gurus, acupuncturists, and more.

During a healing session, you need to be concentrated on opening your chakras. You can’t just sit there thinking about other things and expect your chakras to recover.

Although someone else is guiding the energy in your body, you still need to be present and focused for this technique to work.

 

Mantra chanting

Mantra chanting reharmonizes the energy field from within and is a fundamental heart-based practice.

The aligned vibrations work directly on the chakra and bring about deep healing.

The seed mantra of the Anahata heart chakra is ‘Yam.’ Chant this mantra while listening to meditation music and allow it to rise out of your heart space and purify any blockages there.

Here is an excellent version of the Yam’ chant that I meditate too and also repeat the mantra myself.

 

Sound and singing bowls

Sound frequency is one of the best ways to retune any chakra.

You can work with an instrument, musical note, or mantra that is aligned with the vibration of the chakra you want to retune.

The keynote of Anahata is F, and the Solfeggio frequency is 639 Hz.

Singing bowls that are attuned to this frequency can provide potent healing for the heart chakra.

If you own one, play it and let the soundwaves wash through your being, or, place the bowl on the centre point of your chest and feel the resonance through your heart.

 

Spend time in nature

To perform this technique, spend some time outside. Go for a walk through the grass, listening to the wind going through the trees, or sit down and absorb and be mindful of the natural beauty around you.

Be alert and present, and take notice of what you see, smell and hear.

This will help you feel grounded, make you feel oneness with nature, and will restore your chakra’s energy to its former glory.

 

 

Make time for joy

Give yourself permission to spend time doing activities you love and that bring you joy.

These don’t need to be big or time-consuming. Simple activities, such as putting on some music and dancing in your own home, can be enough. Just prioritise things that feed your heart.

 

How to Balance the Heart Chakra – Final thoughts

The heart chakra is the most important chakra to keep healthy as all the other chakras follow the energy it is radiating.

Prepare for some serious reflection and healing. I can’t lie to you though, heart chakra healing can be a little intense, but it’s 100% worth it.

When your heart is open, it is the best feeling in the world!

I would love to hear your thoughts on what you are doing to change your life in the coming days and years!

I really hope you found inspiration in this article.

How to Balance the Third Eye Chakra – Ultimate Guide!

How to Balance the Third Eye Chakra – Ultimate Guide!

Today I will be sharing with you a guide on how to balance the Third Eye Chakra.

Third Eye Chakra is the 6th Chakra and is responsible to what we refer to as “the sixth sense”.

The Chakra connects us to our internal intuitions and is responsible for the sharp senses, the ability to read the future and receive non-verbal messages.

This guide tells you everything you need to know about the 3rd eye chakra and how to open it.

 

 

Third eye chakra overview

  • Colour: Indigo
  • Location: Centre of the forehead, at the brow level
  • Mantra: “I am open to exploring what cannot be seen.”
  • Element: Light/Darkness
  • Gland: Pineal
  • Sound: Om
  • Musical Note: A
  • Gemstones: Any dark blue or indigo-coloured stones (e.g. Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Fluorite, Sodalite, Tanzine Aura Quartz, Sapphire, or Tanzanite)
  • Essential Oils: Mugwort, Blue lotus, Juniper, Cypress, Yarrow, Opoponax
  • Herbs: Eyebright, Juniper, Mugwort, Poppy, Mandrake Root, Blue Lotus, Cypress
  • Physical Body: Eyes, Nose, Sinuses, Face, Pineal gland, Brain
  • Emotional Body: The Third Eye allows one to look within and exam his/her own thoughts and limiting belief systems. It is located where the left and right hemispheres of the brain connect, so it is connected with balancing our creative mind and analytical mind.
  • Spiritual Body: This is the mind’s eye. It’s through this chakra that clairvoyance (clear seeing) occurs. The Third Eye is sometimes called, “the seed of the soul”. It’s where our ability to see within ourselves and others is combined with a greater universal understanding. The Third Eye allows us to see the truth and the meaning behind it.

 

What Is The Third Eye Chakra?

The Sanskrit word for the third eye chakra is “Ajna”, which translates to “perception”.

It’s represented by the colour indigo and is located at the centre of the forehead, between your physical eyes.

The third eye is your psychic antennae. In other words, it’s the reason you “just know” when your best friend is going to call, or why you decide at the last minute to change your route driving home.

You, like all humans, have a sixth sense that’s just as real as your sense of sight, smell, or touch.

In addition to intuitive ability, your third eye chakra is also responsible for your sense of clarity and inspiration.

So, when your third eye chakra is open, you can easily see the truth of situations, and allow yourself to follow your impulses.

Life becomes much clearer when you heal your third eye chakra blockages.

The most important thing to know is that we all have intuition.

How-to-balance-the-third-eye-chakra

While the third eye chakra can become blocked, it can easily become unblocked.

Your sixth sense is a natural human sense, just like physical sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Everything is energy, so when you receive intuitive information, you’re just picking up on non-physical energy.

An open third eye chakra affords us the wisdom to find the lessons in every situation, even when things don’t go our way.

The Third Eye Chakra deals with life lessons related to the use of your mind, intuition, knowledge and wisdom.

The Third Eye Chakra is associated with holistic truth, wisdom and self-love.

It is the centre of intuition and discernment.

It invites having positive, open-minded relations to the world, and being particularly sympathetic towards ourselves as we navigate through our existence and evolve.

It opens up the individual to his inner wisdom, to intuition and introspection, and connecting to a world unseen.

Faith broadens one’s understanding of existence and our individual connection to the whole.

Maturity brings a new sense of openness to higher knowledge, and self-acceptance.

 

WHERE IS THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA?

The third eye chakra is located between the two brows in the middle of the forehead. In meditation, you can imagine it as a swirling purple or indigo spiral.

It is the mind chakra, associated with the brain, pituitary gland, and pineal gland.

 

Third Eye Chakra’s Colour

The vibratory colour of the Third Eye Chakra is Indigo.

Indigo is the colour of intuition and meaningful insight.

Indigo means sincerity, wisdom, and fairness.

Wearing the colour indigo can give you a natural intuitive boost and make you feel more aligned with your natural instincts.

Visualising this colour during manifestations and meditations can have a powerful effect on the processes.

 

Why Balance Your Third Eye Chakra?

What comes to mind when you think about the third eye?

Perhaps you have heard that it is the seat of your intuition.

Maybe you have told yourself the story that you don’t have any psychic abilities, you can’t listen to your intuition because you’re too much in your head.

For a moment, consider that perhaps you one thing you can do to awaken these abilities within yourself, is to spend time opening and balancing your third eye chakra (because you can).

How-to-balance-the-third-eye-chakra

When your third eye chakra is balanced, you are more easily able to be in touch with the intangible and the unexplainable.

The gifts of clairvoyance and clairaudience come more easily and naturally.

As you begin to balance your third eye chakra, your intuition starts to awaken and blossom and you begin to trust in that feeling as you take inspired, intuitive action.

You are focused on your mission, tuning out worries and fears and instead tuning into your soul.

You know that nothing is or can hold you back – it is only you.

 

How Do You Know Your Third Eye Is Open?

When your third eye chakra is in balance, you will experience more of the following:

  • clarity
  • eagerness to grow and expand
  • intuitive insights
  • inspired and creative
  • in touch with your emotions
  • aware of others’ motives and feelings
  • psychic phenomena
  • honour your personal truth
  • in the flow of your life
  • process unwanted emotions with greater ease
  • telepathy

 

How Do You Know Your Third Eye Is Blocked?

Is your third eye chakra blocked?

Ask yourself these questions to find out:

  • Do I acknowledge my inner truth detector?
  • Am I in touch with my feelings?
  • When something doesn’t go my way, do I need a logical explanation or trust that it wasn’t meant to be?
  • Am I afraid of succeeding?
  • Can I trust my gut?
  • Do I set my sights too low because my desires seem out of reach?
  • Am I overly attached to material belongings?
  • Do I approach situations with a healthy balance of logic and emotion?
  • Am I a good judge of character?
  • Do I tend to repeat the same make mistakes?
  • Am I open minded?

 

Emotional Signs of a Blocked Third Eye Chakra

When your third eye chakra is blocked or out of balance, you will feel:

  • confused
  • unclear how to handle situations
  • out of touch with emotions
  • unable to see the bigger picture
  • unaware of other people’s energy
  • afraid or doubtful of your own success
  • illusions

 

Physical Signs of a Blocked Third Eye

Unprocessed emotions can build up over time and cause physical discomfort.

A blocked third eye can result in the following:

  • headaches or migraines
  • clogged sinuses
  • issues with vision
  • nightmares or poor sleep

 

How to Balance the Third Eye Chakra – Ultimate Guide!

You can think of your Third Eye as your psychic antenna, picking up on subtle truths all around you.

Your emotions play a huge role in your intuitive guidance.

So, it’s important to honour your feelings as you set out on this journey.

This doesn’t mean you have to experience everyone else’s emotions – that would be mental torture!

But you do need to be open to the gentle feelings you pick up.

When you acknowledge what your feelings are telling you, you can release them.

 

Third Eye Chakra Meditation

Meditation is probably one of the best ways of awakening your third eye chakra as it helps to create better coherence between both of your brain hemispheres.

Meditation, when done correctly, will give your thinking mind a break and shift your brainwaves from beta to alpha state.

As a result, you will begin to think for yourself, trust your intuition with more certainty and look for answers to your problems within yourself.

When you commit to regular meditation practice of your choice, you will be more connected to your inner guidance system and discover your deepest wisdom.

There are many meditation techniques I personally tried.

However, in this article, I am going to give you only 1, which is super simple and very powerful for opening your third eye.

This method is known as concentration mediation, and it is described in Osho’s “The Secret of The Golden Flower” book.

How-to-balance-the-third-eye-chakra

Here’s how to do it:

Sit down (or lay down) quietly in any comfortable position of your choice, and for 15 minutes, concentrate all of your awareness on your third eye centre (the area between your eyebrows).

You can do it with your eyes closed or open, whichever way works better for you.

You can visualise a third eye chakra lotus symbol, a sphere of indigo light, or simply focus on the space itself.

To see the results of this practice, you have to commit to 15 minutes of daily practice.

Why is this simple meditation so powerful for the third eye?

The Taoists believe that when your attention flows outward, you are always spending your energy, and as a result, you become more and more empty inside.

When you focus all of your attention and awareness on your third eye centre, all of your consciousness is flowing inward, and you can move the energy (light) in a circle.

The light is supposed to flow in both directions at the same time so that you don’t become depleted and turn into a ‘black hole’.

If you struggling with the above, maybe try a guided meditation, as below:

 

 

Ask for Signs

To start opening your third eye, ask your spirit team or higher self (whatever source you identify with) for signs and then document what you notice in a journal.

As a result, you’ll begin to prove to yourself that you are receiving real messages.

The most common mistake people make is asking for a sign, and then brushing off the answers they receive.

Remember, to be intuitive you must accept there’s more to life than what you pick up with your 5 senses.

So, when you get those intuitive nudges, acknowledge them, say thank you, and write them down.

The more you do this, the more messages you’ll begin to notice.

 

Trust Yourself

Have you ever been deceived, and then after the fact thought…? “I knew it!” Well, yes you did know it because that was your intuition at work.

You sensed something was amiss before you had physical proof.

First, don’t beat yourself up, because hindsight is 20/20 – it’s easy to look back and judge ourselves.

But you can use that situation now to understand how you receive intuitive hits.

Did you get a physical feeling in your stomach? Did you have a dream?

Or perhaps you just had a knowing that you couldn’t explain.

This information is valuable in understanding how your intuitive guidance comes through.

 

Practice Honesty

It’s important to practice honesty in all forms for third eye chakra opening.

This includes being honest with yourself about your own feelings, as well as speaking the truth to others (which is the sign of a balanced Throat Chakra).

The gift of intuition really boils down to knowing the truth when you sense it, and then taking inspired action.

If you’re confused and feel you aren’t tapping into your Third Eye guidance, take a step back and ask yourself what the truth of the situation is.

As you make it a practice to seek clarity with an open heart, your Third Eye Chakra will open more.

 

Assess Your Lower Chakras

It takes confidence and self-love to trust your guidance, especially if you can’t rationalise it.

So a balanced Third Eye Chakra is affected by the Solar Plexus Chakra and Heart Chakra.

You may want to look at the assessment questions in those ultimate guides, to see if you have any healing opportunities in those areas.

Your chakras work together as a system, so it’s difficult to open higher chakras, like the Third Eye, when your lower energy centres are out of balance.

 

Nature

The Third Eye Chakra’s element is light, so embrace opportunities to sit or walk in the sunshine.

If you have a sun room or any open rooms with big windows in your home, take advantage of this space by sitting in silence, reading, or doing some crossword puzzles/logic games.

You might also try sitting or meditating under the moonlight if it’s especially bright out.

 

 

Third Eye Chakra Affirmations

Affirmations are another method of balancing a specific chakra.

Repeating affirmations directs healing energy to restore balance to that aspect of your body, and your life.

These powerful statements rewrite the patterns in our subconscious minds and direct healing vibrations to the chakra.

If your Third Eye Chakra is out of balance, repeat these affirmations:

  • “I trust my inner wisdom.”
  • “My inner guidance is always helping me.”
  • “I recognise divine messages when they’re sent to me.”
  • “My actions are divinely guided.”
  • “Inspiration always finds me.”
  • “I’m always in the right place at the right time.”
  • “Everything is working out perfectly.”
  • “I honour my feelings.”

 

 

YOGA POSES: HEAD AND NECK

Yoga poses that move energy through your head and help to release tension in your neck are good for removing blockages in the third eye chakra.

Try poses such as child’s pose (balasana), forward fold (uttanasana), dolphin pose (makarasana), and eagle pose (garudasana).

 

THIRD EYE MASSAGE

Massaging the third eye point is another way to unblock stagnant energy in this chakra.

It also helps to relax the muscles of the face and increase the blood circulation to the area.

Simply place your index finger on the third eye point.

Exerting a light pressure, take some deep breaths, concentrating on lengthening your inhale and exhale.

How-to-balance-the-third-eye-chakra

Then start to massage the point by making a small circular motion with your finger.

Go one way for a few breaths, then switch to the other way.

You can incorporate essential oils into your massage too.

Make sure you dilute them with a good quality carrier oil. Juniper, clary sage, and frankincense are all linked to the third eye.

 

 KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL

Our dreams are often the voice of our intuition.

However, the messages we receive in dreams can be confusing and hard to understand.

We may also not remember the details for long.

Keeping a dream journal will help you to remember your dreams and you might be able to interpret them more easily.

 

BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS

It is easy to get stuck in the same ways of thinking.

But actively seeking out new ideas and experiences can help to broaden your mind and open your third eye chakra.

Read books from authors you haven’t yet tried, listen to music from different cultures, travel when you can.

Be curious about other people’s thoughts and experiences – cultivate an open mind.

 

Can Music Help?

The chant that helps you open up the third eye chakra is OM pronounced like auuuuummmm.

The Solfeggio frequency that helps balance the third eye is 852 Hz.

This frequency is also fantastic to raise your vibration and to let go of anxiety or depression.

Also, it is said to remove fears and release doubts, and help you get in tune with your intuition.

Meditate Mind is an excellent channel on YouTube for Solfeggio frequencies.

Below is an example:

 

Colours and Gems to Help

Wearing anything indigo helps centre you on your third eye chakra.

Stones that are said to help are Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Fluorite, Sodalite, Tanzine Aura Quartz, Sapphire, or Tanzanite).

So, try wearing, meditating with, or just carrying these stones.

They are said to help a great deal with restoring balance to the third eye.

 

Foods and essential oils

Since indigo is the colour of the third eye chakra, any food that is purple is meant to help balance it.

Foods like eggplant, blackberries, plums, prunes, blueberries, purple cabbage, and grapes are great.

Also, anything with omega-3s helps keep the brain functioning at its best.

So, eating dark chocolate is also said to be beneficial since it causes the body to release serotonin making you feel more positive and is a great source of magnesium to help keep stress in check.

Essential oils said to help balance the third eye chakra are clary sage, frankincense, rosemary, vetiver, and sandalwood.

For example, put a little frankincense essential oil in a diffuser and meditate.

It really helps encourage relaxation to open the third eye chakra.

 

What Else Can I Do To Open My Third Eye Chakra?

The pineal gland is strongly linked with the third eye.

Researching ways to keep a healthy and decalcified pineal gland might be beneficial in balancing this chakra.

For example, limiting exposure to fluoride, excess calcium, and heavily processed foods and instead eating organic, whole foods helps with this.

Also, it is believed that practicing candle gazing during meditation helps to activate third eye as well.

It is said that the third eye is our greatest asset when connecting with source, the divine, your higher self, and the universe.

There is a reason why it is nearly impossible to have a discussion about a spiritual awakening without the mentioning of the third eye.

So, make sure to spend time keeping this chakra open and balanced so that you can truly feel the love, serenity, and connection of the entire universe.

100 Heart Chakra Affirmations!

Today we will be sharing with you 100 heart chakra healing affirmations.

Heart Chakra healing affirmations are positive statements that can be used to bring balance to your Anahata.

The Anahata, or heart chakra as it is more commonly known as, is the fourth of our energy centres.

The heart chakra is associated with love, compassion and spiritual aspiration. Anahata is the air Chakra and is crucial for our ability to open our heart to loving ourselves and one another.

You can use affirmations to exercise your heart chakra energy and maintain the perfect balance through building mental thought patterns around the key principles of the heart chakra.

By the way, there are seven chakras in total, and balancing your heart chakra energy is just one of the series.

Once you have recited the list of affirmations below, I encourage you to check out my wider series of Chakras.

 

 

What colour is associated with the heart chakra?

The heart chakra is associated with the colour green, but it’s also associated with the colour pink

Green is a very soothing and calming energy which promotes feelings of harmony and security as its associated with nature.

Pink is a colour of sweetness, romance and a loving sensitivity. All of these energies are what produces true unconditional love for another, in spite of any flaws or imperfections.

As such, when the heart chakra is open, or in the process of opening, the capacity for unconditional love and acceptance is strong, and being able to experience this feeling naturally raises your vibration.

 

Symptoms of an unbalanced heart chakra

The heart chakra can go inactive due to both physical and emotional hurtful situations and a change in environment.

It manifests into blocking of energy flow or overflow of energy, either of them being considered problematic cases.
Below are the symptoms to recognise the imbalance in heart chakra:

  • Jealousy
  • Fear of intimacy
  • Trying to please; co-dependency.
  • Feeling of closed down
  • Feeling of either victimization or rescuer.
  • Overly defensive.
  • Extreme isolation; anti-social.
  • Yearning for approval from others.
  • Not being able to forgive and holding onto grudges even for the slightest of things.
  • Respiratory ailments including lung infections, breathing issues, and bronchitis.
  • Circulatory and heart-related problems.

You experience ‘heart chakra pain,’ if your Anahata chakra is blocked.

 

Where is heart chakra?

The heart chakra is located in the centre of your chest. It is the fourth chakra, but the first of the higher chakras.

The lower chakras include the solar plexus being the third, the sacral chakra being the second and the root chakra being the first and the base.

Once you master the lower three chakras, you will have a solid foundation to begin working on the higher chakras.

When the heart chakra is out of balance, you may lack the ability to be open and receptive to others. You may not be able to forgive easily and/or lack compassion as well as hold onto grudges.

 

When does the heart chakra close?

Many times, someone who has been deeply wounded or heartbroken will have a closed heart chakra, which is a normal response to this type of pain.

Although, the only way to truly heal the heart chakra, is to open your heart to love again.

Heart-Chakra-Affirmations

The good news for those who have experienced heartbreak, is that if you’re nervous to open your heart to love again with another person, you can simply start by loving yourself, which the heart chakra is also associated with.

The ability to love another starts with the ability to love the self. When you love yourself, you know what your needs are, you respect your own boundaries and you essentially properly nurture and ‘parent’ yourself.

 

Why is it important to open up the heart chakra?

As you can see, the symptoms of the heart chakra blockage can severely impact your normal functioning.

It can destroy your happiness and peace of mind. Your self-respect and confidence will disappear. Your relationships suffer immensely and often result in breakups.

If you allow this state of affairs to continue for long, you would slip into depression. This causes more negative thoughts and feelings, leading to the blockage getting worse.

Once you are trapped in this vicious cycle of depression and chakra imbalance, it would be a monumental task to get out of it.

The ideal way to deal with a heart chakra imbalance would be to identify and tackle it as early as possible.

Below is an excellent introduction to the heart chakra:

 

 

Affirmations for opening up the heart chakra

Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to boost your confidence and self-love.

As the heart chakra is linked to emotions and feelings, affirmations related to love, compassion, and healing can help.

 

How do affirmations help?

Repeating affirmations can bring in more positive emotions and feelings over time.

As more positivity flows in the heart chakra, the negative energy that is blocking it gets annulled or forced out. Ultimately, this will help in opening up the chakra and regain its balance.

 

How to use affirmations to unblock the heart chakra?

Affirmations offer the best results when repeated with focus and a calm mind. This means early in the morning and just before bedtime are the perfect times for repeating them.

Take care to set aside enough time for the exercise so that you will be undisturbed.

You may repeat them aloud, or in your mind, write them down in a journal, listen or watch a pre-recorded track. You may also make them part of a vision board.
