Heart-Opening Practices: Meditation, loving-kindness exercises, or gratitude journaling support emotional balance.
Colour & Energy Work: Surround yourself with green or pink energy, wear these colours, or visualise healing light radiating from your heart.
Movement & Breathwork: Gentle chest-opening stretches, yoga, or deep breathing enhance energy flow.
Compassion Practices: Practice self-compassion, forgiveness, and connection with others to strengthen heart energy.
The Heart Chakra reminds us that love is both a gift and a practice. By nurturing this energy centre, you cultivate emotional healing, deeper connections, and a greater sense of harmony within yourself and with the world around you.
