SO WHAT IS THE HEART CHAKRA?
Located in the center of the chest, the Heart Chakra is the emotional energy centre of your body. Energetically speaking, the Heart Chakra is the bridge between the lower chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus) and upper chakras (Throat, Third Eye, Crown). This means it is the balance between your physical and spiritual self; the human being residing in this world and the spiritual being aware of planes beyond our immediate understanding.
The more open your Heart Chakra is, the more capable you are of recognising the spiritual in everyday circumstances (i.e. synchronicity, deep appreciation for the beauty of a flower, messages from spiritual guides)
Emotions are complicated: they are intensely personal and private, yet most of the time they are responses to relationships and circumstances outside of yourself. The Heart Chakra is a perfect reflection of this. As much as the Heart Chakra tells you about yourself and your own willingness to open up to the world or hide from it, its energy also lets the people around you know, on an energetic level, how much you are willing to give or receive. The state of a person's Heart Chakra can inform you of how receptive they are to emotional interactions.
Ultimately, the Heart Chakra is a window into your most honest self. However much you grow and change one of the most consistent things in your life will be your emotional response to situations. This teaches you a lot about how you approach the world. Just as importantly, whatever emotion you feel - be it positive or negative - resonates within your Heart Chakras and from there out into the world changing it.
