Heart Chakra: Anahata
When Heart Chakra is Blocked
Chakra’s are evolving energy sources within the subtle body. As such, they can be deficient (closed/blocked) or excessive (open). When a Chakra is deficient, not enough energy is flowing. This could express itself as feeling tired, sluggish, or listless. When too much energy is flowing, you might feel aggression, agitation and even project these feelings onto others. Here are some things to look for when Crown Chakra is out of balance.
Feeling disconnected from, or avoid, those closest to you (blocked). On the flip side, when Heart Chakra is too open you are needy and co-dependent on others.
Overly critical of yourself and have difficulties loving who you are and what you’re all about.
Have a hard time accepting love, gratitude and complements from others. You prefer to maintain a hard outer shell so you don’t have to open yourself up emotionally to others.
Struggle to overcome past hurt causing you to re-live past traumas and have trust issues.
Tend to hold grudges and have difficulty forgiving people. You may also struggle with jealousy, bitterness and anger.
Social anxiety and shyness (blocked) or controlling and possessive (open).
General feelings/actions that indicate a lack of empathy, care for yourself and a martyr attitude.
Activities to Unblock Heart Chakra
When Heart Chakra is in a good place, you’ll feel balanced and in harmony with the world and everyone in it. Energy will flow allowing love and gratitude to move freely between yourself and others. These activities will help balance & activate your Heart Chakra.
