Our heart chakra is arguably one of the most important energy centres in our system.
Even science has proven that the heart is more powerful than the brain - it is the centre of feeling. It is our core, and without emotions, we would not be able to experience human life. Our emotions provide us with far more intelligence than our intellect, yet 1000+ years of colonisation has taught us to be disassociated from our emotions. It has taught us to demonise them; to think that our sensitivity is a weakness or a curse, when it is actually a gift.
There are a number of reasons that the heart space may be blocked. It could be compound trauma, hurtful words, self doubt and fear, shame, emotional repression; ultimately in all this time I notice one thing is that any constriction in the heart space is nothing but a resistance to feeling love. Love is the ultimate power of this universe, and it comes in many forms. To open our heart space is to open our whole universe.
And this is directly connected with your flow of abundance. Notice how the heart chakra is green in colour (or pink) which is also the same colour as nature, the same colour associated with abundance and wealth.
Healing our heart chakra, to a large degree looks like healing our trust with our emotions and feeling safe to feel.
Here are some ways to open your heart chakra if you feel your energy is blocked or low:
1. Actively connect with nature
Honestly, there are few things as effective at healing the heart chakra than simply connecting with nature in solitude. And by this, I don’t mean go for walk. You’ll see all sorts of zombies going for a morning walk with their headphones, and still living completely unconscious lives. By this I mean to connect with nature and feel it. Sit under trees and observe them. Hug the trees. Did you know that hugging tress literally recalibrates your whole aura?
2. Make use of your breathing
You’ll notice that when you’re in a state of fight or flight, your breath becomes very shallow. When you’re in a space of relaxation and surrender, your breath is deeper. When you feel your heart is constricted or blocked with fear, feel a healing pink light expand inside your heart every time you breath in. This directs pranic energy to the part of the body and energy system that needs healing. You can do this for 5 minutes and notice a tangible shift, of course this will also depend on your existing energetic sensitivity but the more you practice the more you will start to FEEL your energy and be able to heal yourself naturally. (NB. the journey of healing is not necessarily all rainbows and good feelings, sometimes that involves going into your shadow too).
3. Ask deities to heal you
Yes, you can directly connect deities without any medium. Because they exist inside you. If you feel your heart space is blocked, simply remember Goddess Quan Yin the goddess of compassion and ask that her healing pink light clear away any fear or trauma and restore your heart to unconditional love. Green Tara likewise is associated with the heart chakra, both green and pink are colours of the heart chakra.
4. Make use of the elements
Water, air, fire, earth and ether. These elements are what make up the universe - known as the Panchmahabhuta in Sanskrit. Emotions are directly connected to water, and if you are a water sign like me, you know that it runs deep. This is why it can be so therapeutic to connect to water. Examples are taking salt baths, even just soaking your feet in salt water absorbs negative energy and tension. We as human beings have a real need to connect to the elements of nature, aside from our spiritual practice, in our lifestyle as well.
There are dozens of other healing methods and things you can do to unblock your heart chakra and bring it into balance. Not simply meditation but moving energy through the body, plant medicines, healing crystals and many more
