The fourth chakra, also known as the Heart chakra or Anahata, is the center of love and connection. A strong, balanced heart chakra allows you to live freely and openly from a place of compassion. However, a blocked heart chakra can interfere with your happiness and relationships in many ways.
Emotionally speaking, a blocked heart chakra manifests as a lack of love and compassion. Symptoms include: loneliness, shyness and social anxiety, being overly critical towards yourself and others, holding grudges, inability to give or receive freely, suspicion and fear, especially in friendships and romantic relationships
A blockage in the heart chakra can also lead to physical symptoms like poor circulation, heart troubles, and respiratory illness like asthma.
If you consistently have an issue with these conditions in your life, clearing your heart chakra may help you recover from them and lead a healthy life, both emotionally and physically.
Here are steps you can take to restore balance.
GO GREEN!
Wearing green clothing or jewelry and lighting green candles can help open and balance it.
HEALING GREEN FOOD
Kale, broccoli, spinach, chard, dandelion greens, parsley, celery, cucumber, zucchini, matcha, green tea, avocado, lime, mint, peas, kiwi, peas, spirulina, green apples, etc.
BRING STONES IN YOUR LIFE
Green stones (if possible as a necklace, close to the heart chakra) like emerald, malachite, jade and green tourmaline.
AFFIRMATIONS
I am open to love and kindness.
All love resides within my heart.
I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
I accept things as they are.
I am peaceful.
YOGA AND MEDITATION
During meditation, imagine a ball of green healing energy in your chest, gently removing the blockage and opening your heart. Since Anahata’s element is air, deep breathing or pranayama practice is ideal. Yoga asanas that open the chest like Eagle Pose and backbends are helpful as well.
LET GO AND BREATH
When you find yourself holding onto a negative emotion, take a deep breath and imagine a green light pouring into your body and washing it away, filling you with love.
