The heart chakra is your center of love, compassion, empathy, and connection, both with yourself and with others. It is also associated with your ability to give and receive love, to form meaningful relationships, and to experience a sense of inner peace and balance.
Sanskrit Name: Anahata
Location: Chest (center)
Color: Green
Element: Air
Mantra: I love
Gland: Thymus
Crystals: Rose Quartz, Aventurine, Green Jade
When your heart chakra is open and balanced you are able to express and receive love freely. You are joyful, compassionate, and grateful; you feel surrounded by love.
However, when your Anahata is blocked or unbalanced, you may have trouble forming relationships, expressing emotions, and showing love.
Signs Of A Blocked Heart Chakra
When your heart chakra is blocked, it can manifest in several physical, emotional, and mental symptoms. Here are some common signs of a blocked heart chakra:
- Feeling disconnected or isolated from others,
- Difficulty trusting others,
- Feeling emotionally detached,
- Holding grudges or feeling resentful towards others,
- Difficulty expressing love and affection,
- Lack of self-love and self-compassion,
- Difficulty forgiving yourself and others,
- Feeling unworthy of love,
- Lack of empathy towards others.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may indicate that your Anahata is blocked, and it may be helpful to explore techniques and practices to help balance and open your heart chakra (affirmations being one of them :)).
