Heal the Heart Chakra
Adapted from The Triple Goddess Tarot by Isha Lerner
Inner Traditions, 2002
One regret, dear world,
That I am determined not to have
When I am lying on my deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough.
-- Hafiz
The fourth chakra is located in the region of the heart and between the
shoulder blades. This is the area of the body where love resides, in the
cave of the heart. In our culture the rate of heart attacks is very
high; we are depleted of unconditional love and devotion in many ways.
A cold, closed, or fearful heart is a heart that is under attack. This
area of the body calls for deep breath work and healing touch. It seeks
balance, for it is the center of the whole system. Find out more about
the beauty and healing power of the heart, here:
There is no greater elixir than the pure love emanating from the fourth
chakra when this area of the body expands with light and forgiveness. It
is said, "A broken heart is an open heart." Sometimes we must feel pain
and sorrow before pure love and healing can occur. Both our grief and
joy are inspired emotions that govern the heart. Pulsating in a
delicate, rhythmic dance, these polarities unite, offering wholeness,
balance, and compassion for all living beings.
When this chakra is in a negative state, the individual is very fearful
to open his or her heart and feels isolated and alone. Feelings of
attachment, jealousy, envy, and mistrust are maladies of a wounded
heart. Relationships can be very difficult with an individual who has
closed the chamber of the heart to the world.
Forgiveness is a must and one must always remember, "Love heals all."
In a healthy and healed fourth chakra, one is united with the beautiful
gifts of grace and peace. The ecstasy of love teaches us to let go and
trust in the world, ultimately transcending the flames of sexual passion
and emptying our life giving spirit and spirituality into the world.
Service in this context is a devotional journey that clears the way for
healing on a global scale. It is truly "a path of the heart."

Chakra Helper - Heart

Simple Solution
Chakras are energy centers in the body that hold secrets for living our
lives in more whole and balanced ways.
Unlock your HEART today: this energy center, located in the middle of
the chest, has much to teach us about empathy, unconditional love,
compassion, and connection. Remember the scene in Dr. Seuss's How the
Grinch Stole Christmas, when the Grinch's heart (that was two sizes too
small) grew? The HEART chakra is always willing to grow and to open
wide.
Today might be a good day to give a little thought to the people (or
companion animals, or plants) that you love unconditionally, simply
appreciating these presences in your life. Now take a moment to
appreciate your own self, all the unique gifts and qualities--and human
flaws--that make up who you are. Some of us find it easy to love others
unconditionally, but difficult to extend compassion to ourselves. Allow
yourself to imagine feeling that you are lovable just as you are. It's a
sure way to encourage your heart to grow.
