How to open the heart chakra?
Several practices help to open and balance the heart chakra. Here are some exercises that balance and heal the fourth chakra:
Crystals:
Crystals can support the energy of love to flow freely through the chakra system. They can be used by placing a crystal over a chakra during meditation, spreading them around the house, wearing them as jewelry, or carrying them with you. In addition to most rose crystals, some crystals that may be beneficial to the heart chakra include:
Nephrites: Balance.
Rhodocrosite: Trauma and fear.
Rose quartz: Self-love and peace.
Malachite: Protection and love.
Amazonite: Harmony.
Repetition of affirmations: Repeating affirmations of love out loud, mentally or in writing can clear negative energy and support positive thought patterns. Some examples of positive affirmations:
It's safe for me to be here.
I am here in my body and all is well.
The earth supports me and meets my needs.
My body is a valuable resource and a valuable intelligence.
I love my body and trust its wisdom.
I am immersed in a field of abundance.
I am here, I am important, I am real.
If none of these methods work for you, other ways to combat blocked energy include keeping a gratitude journal, eating green foods and taking care of yourself. By healing the heart chakra, a person can feel strong and physically healthy.
