Heart Chakra – Anahata

The Heart Chakra, or Anahata, is the fourth chakra and is located at the centre of the chest. It is the seat of love, compassion, and emotional connection, helping you form meaningful relationships with yourself and others while cultivating empathy and forgiveness.

Signs of Imbalance

When the Heart Chakra is blocked or out of balance, you may notice:

  • Difficulty giving or receiving love

  • Feeling emotionally closed or isolated

  • Grief, resentment, or difficulty forgiving

  • Respiratory or heart-related physical issues

Ways to Heal and Balance the Heart Chakra

  • EMK (Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology): Explore emotional blocks, past hurts, or patterns that limit love and connection.

  • 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.
