Heart Chakra Opening, Balancing And Clearing
The heart chakra is the fourth chakra of the seven main chakras.
The color of this chakra is green. It’s the centre of the feelings of love, conscience, generosity, joy and happiness.
Once it’s opened, the whole body benefits from this freed up energy of pure positivity.
The stages of fourth (heart) chakra opening
Closed
If you don’t have any feelings or thoughts associated with your heart, it means your heart centre is closed. In other words, when you hear something about heart or love, you feel completely neutral about it like love or anything to do with heart are separate things from who you are.
If your heart centre is closed, you are likely to feel lonely, angry and consider other people as separate from you. Your life is probably full of suffering, failure to understand others and insensitivity.
Blocked
If you love some people and hate others, or your love is selfish, then you have blockages in your heart chakra. Conditional love also shows a blocked area of the heart. Emotional ups and downs are too associated with a blocked heart centre.
Balanced
When your heart centre is properly balanced, you will feel at ease with yourself and with other people. You will understand others and accept them for who they are. You will also fully accept yourself and appreciate who you are.
You will easily understand the pain and joy of other people you will feel it in your heart. Furthermore, you will know whether people lie or are honest with you. You will also become a more caring, joyous and appreciative individual.
Over-active
Some people suffer from over-active heart centre. The symptoms of over-activity are these:
1.You are desperate for people to love you, therefore you engage in activities that might not be beneficial for you but would please others;
2.You are in a relationship where you give all and your partner does not appreciate what you do and doesn’t give anything in return;
3.You cannot say “no” to people.
To balance an over-active heart chakra you should stay in silence and meditate on your heart centre. However, don’t try to infuse your heart with a green light as it may make you too emotional. Simply meditate whilst focusing on your heart. Also, stay in silence without any thoughts for 10-30 minutes every day. Being in nature will also help you correct any imbalances in your heart centre.
How can I open my heart chakra?
To open your heart chakra you can meditate on it. To do that, simply go into meditation and focus your inner attention to the heart. You can also see a green light surrounding and pervading it. To open your heart chakra, you can also stay in silence contemplating love.
If you seek love, if you want to experience it, sooner or later your heart centre will open. However if you have many blockages in you (e.g. limiting beliefs, negative thinking, selfish attitude), it may take a very long time for your heart chakra to open. So it’s a wise decision to firstly improve your attitude towards life and then to work on your chakras.
In general, your heart centre will easily open if you are an honest, generous, loving, happy and positive person. Even a simple intention to open your heart centre may do the trick, but only if no major blockages are present.
If you honestly try to unselfishly help the humanity, it’s very likely your heart chakra is opened or will open soon – naturally and effortlessly.
If your heart centre is blocked, you should clear the blockages by doing chakra clearing described in this article under an “Aligning seven chakras” heading.
Eating natural food also helps to open chakras quicker. By “natural food” I mean food that comes from nature, that is not processed. Such food can be vegetables, fruit, seeds and nuts. Meat is a bad choice if you try to spiritually improve yourself it lowers your vibration. Choose fish instead.
If you get negative mental chatter in your head, that might stop you from opening your heart centre. Try to not think about anything at all for an extended period of time, even if it seems hard at first.
How can I know if my heart chakra is opening?
You will feel certain sensations in the chest area of your body. For example, you can feel uneasiness in that area, slight pain or pressure. You can also feel tingling or sharp pains. In general, any unusual sensations you get in the chest area are likely to be caused by the opening heart centre.
When your heart centre is opening, you will see a big change in your personality. Suddenly you will want to connect with people and you will be more understanding of others. You will be kinder and more generous to people whom you don’t know. You will feel unconditional love towards humanity, animals and nature. You will understand that we are all made of the same stuff and that we are all essentially one.
