12 Jul Heart Chakra Affirmations
If you are lacking in love or struggling with empathy and forgiveness, you may be suffering from an unbalanced heart chakra. Thankfully, there are several ways to rebalance and activate the heart, and using affirmations is one of the easiest.
Let’s take a look at how we can use affirmations to open the heart chakra and access an infinite supply of love from our higher selves.
What Is the Heart Chakra?
The seven chakras are our spiritual energy centers, and each one governs a different sacred aspect of our being. The heart chakra, also known as the fourth chakra and the Anahata chakra governs our ability to love ourselves and others unconditionally, as well as our empathy, understanding, and our ability to forgive.
A well-balanced heart chakra allows us to be compassionate with ourselves and others, improving our self-talk and our relationships with the people in our lives. It also makes us more approachable to strangers and heightens our connection with nature, animals, children, and vulnerable people.
Physically, the heart chakra supports cardiovascular health. People with a strong heart chakra will also be in touch with their feminine energy, making them great healers and nurturers, with a romantic and artistic side. Spiritually, they’re incredibly empathic, sensitive, and intuitive to the feelings of others and the energies around them.
Is My Heart Chakra Unbalanced?
Imbalances in the chakras can mean one of two things – that they’re underactive or overactive. If your heart chakra is underactive or blocked, it means that something is blocking it from being active and open. If your heart chakra is overactive, it means that it is working overtime and producing too much energy. Both of these are bad, but you can use chakra affirmations to rebalance them both.
Causes of a Blocked Heart Chakra
Our chakras can become blocked by various forms of trauma or negative energy, and the heart chakra is most often blocked by heartbreak or betrayal.
Symptoms
A blocked heart chakra can result in shyness, loneliness, depression, trust issues, and a lack of empathy, as well as dwelling on the past and finding it hard to forgive others.
Physical symptoms heart chakra blockage include breathing difficulties, chest pain and pain between the shoulder blades, a lowered immune system, poor circulation, and low blood pressure.
Causes of an Overactive Heart Chakra
The heart can become overactive when we become too dependent on the love of others for validation and neglect our relationship with ourselves and the spiritual world, or when are too open and don’t put up boundaries; allowing our hearts to be taken advantage of and trampled on by bad people.
Symptoms
Having an overactive fourth chakra can cause us to get into bad relationships and friendships, tolerate abuse or disrespectful behavior from others, lose sight of our own identity, and get jealous way too easily. Physical symptoms include heart palpitations and high blood pressure.
Heart Chakra Healing Affirmations
Affirmations are one of the best ways that we can re-balance and heal our chakras. So, what are some powerful heart chakra affirmations?
Well, there are two ways of affirming – you can simply affirm that your heart chakra is perfectly aligned, or, you can make them more specific to its purpose. These types of affirmations to open the heart chakra should include being ready to love and be loved, as well as healing yourself, and being open to understand and forgive.
Affirmations to re-balance an overactive heart chakra should focus more on self-love, self-healing, or understanding and forgiving yourself. Yoga, reiki, and meditation will also help.
How to Use Heart Chakra Affirmations
Before you use your affirmations, you need to decide on what they are. You don’t need more than two or three, and you should keep them short and sweet. You don’t need to say them out loud, although you can if you want to, but it is enough to just say them in your head.
The best times to repeat your heart chakra affirmations is when you wake up in the morning – the first 30 minutes to be exact – and as you fall asleep at night, as this is when your subconscious is at its most open and receptive. However, any time is a good time to say your affirmations, and they’ll create change a lot quicker the more you do it.
You should also repeat them when you meditate because, during meditation, we are at one with our subconscious mind and our higher selves. It may also help you visualize your chakras coming into alignment and picture your heart chakra as a bright pink or green light. You could even hold some heart-healing crystals such as rose quartz, emerald, or amazonite, whilst you meditate to help it come into alignment.
How Long Does It Take?
Everyone is different, some people will notice an immediate change, while others can take a few days or weeks – it all depends on how much resistance you have to your affirmations. But with patience and dedication, it will work.
If you’re prone to thinking negative thoughts, be sure to repeat your affirmations whenever any critical self-talk or the subject of love arises in your mind to prevent them from taking over and keeping your chakra imbalance in place.
