How to Balance your Heart Chakra
Many cultures believe that the key to health, happiness and spiritual connectedness lies in a balance of chakras. There are seven main energy centers comprising the chakra system and it is believed that each chakra has a specific purpose. If a chakra, which in Sanskrit means "wheel of light," becomes disturbed, illness can take place. Each chakra is connected with an area of the body, a color, a gemstone, an essence and a musical note, so in order to most effectively balance an area, you should consider using gemstones, music and essential oils. The Heart Chakra, or fourth chakra, is located in the center of the chest and is the focal point in bringing about the healing of physical illnesses brought about by heartbreak. It is associated with the colors green or pink and responds to the musical note, F. An imbalance of the Heart Chakra can lead to heart disease, asthma, lung cancer, breast cancer, pneumonia, upper back and shoulder problems. The Heart Chakra can affect our ability to control the emotions of love, compassion, confidence, inspiration, hope, hate, despair, hate, envy, fear, jealousy, anger and generosity. This article will focus solely on working with the Heart Chakra--it will not discuss incorporating crystals and essences into the balancing.
