Your fourth chakra is located right in the center of your heart.

It is your center of compassion, unconditional love, and emotions.

This is where everything is stored that is related to love, forgiveness, and harmony. 

Did you know that the most powerful energy you have is love? 

When we act with love and compassion, beautiful things come to us. 

The energy of love is pure power.

Often, some kind of lesson about love is at the core of every single challenge we face in life.

Isn’t that wonderful?

There is so much about love that heals and restores us. 

Everything comes back to love in the end, that’s why having a healthy and balanced Heart Chakra is so vital for your happiness and success in life. 

Self-love is a huge part of having a healthy Heart Chakra.

When this center is out of balance, you may get stuck in toxic or abusive relationships. 

Balancing this chakra means knowing that you do not need anyone else’s approval or validation. 

It’s about taking back your power and deciding to live the life you desire. 

Do any of the following resonate for you? 

• Allowing negative experiences to inform your decisions. 
  
• Difficulty forgiving people. 
  
• Not allowing other people to love you. 
  
• Holding onto bitterness and resentment. 
  
• Feeling ‘trapped’ in sadness or grief about a past relationship.
  
• Critical and judgemental of others. 
  
• Jealousy, envy, and possessiveness. 

All of the above signifies a loss of energy and imbalance in your Heart Chakra. 

You need to heal this energy center in order to experience a life full of love and wide open-heart energy! 

Instead of holding onto resentment and pain, you must learn to face it and not use it as an excuse to stay stuck and sad. 

Instead, try the following: 

• Forgive yourself. 
  
• Forgive others. 
  
• Love yourself. 
  
• Love others and allow them the freedom to be themselves. 
  

A great way to reach forgiveness and love for yourself and others is to write through your experiences. 

Try exploring with words by writing in your journal. Ask yourself: 

• What relationships, current or past require healing? 
  
• How am I allowing past hurts to control my present? 
  
• What do I need to forgive myself for? 
  
• Who do I need to forgive, and why? 
  
• What emotional memories are keeping me stuck and unable to experience healthy love? 
  

Try repeating these positive affirmations throughout your day:

I love myself.

I am harmony.

I forgive myself.

I cherish myself.

I am loved. 

I am surrounded by love and positivity.

I can experience unconditional love. 

A lovely way to heal your Heart Chakra is with the following visualization: 

Imagine breathing in the color green into your heart space.

See the color as a pure, healing, calming energy that enters all of your cells and your bloodstream.

Imagine it enveloping your heart in a beautiful green light.

This light brings love and compassion to you.

It eradicates any dark spots or stagnant parts of your chakra, leaving your heart center open and balanced. 

You can always use natural elements to help you heal and balance your Heart Chakra: 

Crystals: Jade, rose quartz, malachite, emerald. 

Aromatherapy: Rose, pine, cedarwood, lavender. 

Take good care of your Heart Center. It will help you in all areas of your life. 

Everything is energy, and the more love you put out into the world, the more loving energy comes back to you.
