Heart Chakra Vibes - Align vs. Hustle

My main goal in 2018 is to continue my journey of self-love, self-care, and self-healing. Thank goodness for technology and all of the lovely Spirits that make it easy for me to research and find tools that work for me on my path. I want to keep up the momentum for the New Year and work on my energetic levels from the bottom up. In yesterday's post we discussed the third chakra, The Solar Plexus Chakra.

Let's learn and adventure together as we get in alignment by giving 1:1 attention to each of these energy centers.

What are chakras?

"The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet. This invisible energy, called Prana, is vital life force, which keeps us vibrant, healthy, and alive." - source

Where is the Heart Chakra located?

"In the center of the chest (the energy center is not located where our actual heart organ lies; rather, the heart chakra is in the center of the chest area); it is the 4th chakra counting from the bottom of the spine in the traditional 7 chakra system." - source

When should we work to heal this Chakra?

"You can see the following signs of imbalance in the heart chakra :

Being overly defensive
Feeling closed down
Jealousy; fear of intimacy
Codependency, relying on other’s approval and attention, trying to please at all cost
Always putting oneself in the role of the savior or the rescuer; or on the contrary, falling into victimization
Excessive isolation, being recluse, antisocial
Holding grudges, not being to forgive
At the physical level, it can manifest as:

Respiratory ailments, such as lung infection, bronchitis
Circulatory and heart-related issues
When the energy in your fourth chakra is blocked or hindered, you may experience what is sometimes referred to as heart chakra pain." - source

Why should we align this Chakra?

"The Heart chakra is associated with the following psychological and behavioral characteristics:

Capacity to love
Integration, bridge between earthly and spiritual aspirations
Transcending personal identity and limitations of the ego
Experience of unconditional love and connection with all
Heart-centered discernment
Appreciation of beauty in all things
Experiencing deep and meaningful relationships" - source
