Our hearts are keenly involved in our daily lives and especially in the major events we encounter in our life journey.
Who has not known the feeling of the heart chakra shutting down to protect itself? We may not have associated the feeling with energy or a chakra but we all recognize the sensation!
Issues involving the heart such as death, divorce, loss, abandonment and betrayal are all part of our human experience at one time or another.
Closing of the heart chakra creates numbness in an attempt to protect ourselves from unbearable pain.
Unfortunately this generally has the effect of making things worse as communication with other chakras is shut off and a feeling of emptiness results.
Our heart energy is affected by all our experience not just the profound issues just mentioned so it is important to pay attention and be mindful about the activity involved and take steps to be more consciously in charge of this powerful energy.
On a more positive note the heart carries within it the power to transmute our negative feelings. Guilt, fear, shame and anger can all be transformed through the loving power of the heart.
When the heart chakra is in balance and energy is freely flowing, a person is self accepting, trusting, forgiving, compassionate, charged with positive emotions and fueled by hope.
