Do you suffer from the pangs of loneliness and feel that nobody understands you? Do you feel isolated? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one or nursing a broken heart?
The 4th Energy Center or the Heart Center sits in the middle of the seven chakras and is located in the center of your chest, over the sternum. The heart chakra is a place of balance and harmony, and influences your experience with love, self acceptance, touch, compassion, devotion and forgiveness.
Having dealt with the personal issues relating to survival at the root chakra, self knowledge at the sacral chakra and personal power at the solar plexus chakra, it is now time to move from embodiment to enlightenment.
Embodiment is to embrace the personal attributes of the first three chakras so that they become a part of your life. Enlightenment is a spiritual journey where we learn to walk in compassion and unconditional love. These two attributes especially are the qualities that are associated with the heart chakra.
You may not realize that there are conditions attached to love. You expect that in romantic love the person that you love returns your love. Parental love also has expectations of their children. Unconditional love on the other hand gives love to any and everyone without the thought of return. When the heart chakra is fully opened, it becomes the channel for Universal Love.
Touch is a quality that is associated with the heart chakra, and although we touch with our hands we reach out from our heart and also receive from our heart. When the energy in the heart chakra is blocked we either find it difficult to give love or receive it. There needs to be a balance of both giving and receiving love.
When the heart chakra is unbalanced, the very core of us undergoes pain and suffering. Our breathing is low, and our mind and body feels separated.
Here are some ways to bring your heart chakra into balance:
• Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
• Green and pink are the colors of the heart chakra.
• Gems stones: Ruby, Rose Quartz, Emerald, Green Jade, Kunzite
• Essential oils: Rose, Bergamot and the less well known Inula, Melissa and Jasmine.
• Bergamot opens the heart chakra and helps the love energy to radiate out.
• Inula is a delicate pale green color, brings moral courage and assists those who are afraid to acknowledge their own highest gifts and exercise them to the fullest extent.
• Melissa is valuable where there is an energy block between the Solar Plexus and the heart.
• Jasmine warms the heart chakra through its connection to both the sacral and brow chakras as a point of balance between the upper and lower chakra.
Place your hand on your heart as you repeat these statements
• I am safe to give and receive love
• I am safe feeling my feelings
• I acknowledge my own loveliness
• I am willing to love everything about myself
• I am loved
Are you willing to listen to the nudging of your heart and the small still voice? What is it saying to you?
