4th Chakra - Heart

Updated: Apr 9, 2021

The heart chakra holds our connection to both the spiritual and the physical aspects of ourselves.


Because it is at this pivotal location, connecting the physical and spiritual chakras, it is how we get in touch with our Higher Self in relation to the rest of the world and even the universe. It is located in the center of the chest, ruled by the color green and sometimes pink, and it’s element is air. The affirmation for the heart chakra is “I love”. It rules the heart, pericardium, circulatory system, lungs, shoulders, arms, ribs, breasts, and diaphragm. The life lesson of this chakra is to experience compassion and connection with oneself and others.


 

When the heart chakra is out of harmony, we are disconnected from ourselves, have difficulty loving ourselves or giving love from a genuine place, do not feel deserving of love and therefore have difficulty receiving love, are out of touch with who we are, and develop depression from lack of connection to self.

When the Heart Chakra is in Harmony we are fully connected to ourselves, cultivate joy easily, love and accept ourselves and as an extension of others. We give and receive love genuinely, and cultivate compassion for self and others. We can easily feel empathy and assist others in healing along with cultivating our own self healing abilities. The heart has to be open before one is able to perform a healing hands modality.
