Chakra Series #4: Heart Chakra

Chakra is Sanskrit (oldest writing language) for “wheel” or “vortex”. Our bodies are comprised by seven major chakras, energy centers, that house the life force that we are. Scientists have measured their existence and found that the electromagnetic emanations can be detected as far as 26 feet from the physical body. Even though chakras are not physical, they are experienced in the physical bodies. An imbalanced chakra will show up in the body as physical, mental or emotional challenges. Chakras may be used as portals to healing, prosperity and happiness.

The fourth chakra is called the Heart chakra and it is located at the center of the chest area. It is associated with the color green.

The Heart chakra governs the heart and lungs, lymph system, and the thymus.

On the emotional level the Heart chakra rules relationships, love, forgiveness, mothering and grief.

When the Heart chakra is out of balance it manifests as bloop pressure issues, heart issues, asthma and allergies, pain by the shoulder blades, breast problems, relationship issues and betrayal. Additionally, as lack of empathy and loneliness.

Some ways to heal the Heart chakra are:

Giving and receiving love, petting a pet, hugs, doing push-ups, gratitude and appreciation.

Some essential oils are rose, melissa, and rosemary.

Some crystals are rose quartz, emerald, rhodochrosite and rhodonite.

Eating foods that are grown 6 ft or more above the ground, fruits, nuts and seeds, and green foods.

Wearing green or pink colors for color therapy.

Affirmation: My heart is full of love and appreciation.

This is just a brief introduction to the seven major chakras and there is so much more in understanding and healing ourselves through the chakras. Contacting a Holistic Health Practitioner and using Energy healing are powerful and effective ways in healing our body, mind and spirit.
