Chakras are vortices that serve as energy entry points for the body. They regulate and govern the flow of life force in the body. The 7 most important chakras include - root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, ajna chakra (third eye chakra), and the crown chakra.
Happiness, joy, and love are the ingredients to open your heart chakra. The heart chakra can practically be called your “happiness center”. When it is open, you open your heart and mind to others and their ideas, making you a more receptive and amiable person.
Heart chakra not only stores happy emotions but also negative emotions like grief, apathy, sadness, etc. These emotions make the heart chakra smaller and probably result in the coining of terms “hard-hearted” or “small-hearted”.
Located in the center of your chest, heart chakra when in balance can bring you great contentment, happiness, excitement, compassion, love, ability to forgive and let go. A result of this is harmonious relations with friends and family members, better stress management, and a lot of positive energy.
An overly active heart chakra can however result in being exploited by others. Such a person may get taken advantage of, often being treated like a doormat. Therefore, too much of a good thing can be bad and balance is of great importance here.
For the physical body, the heart chakra takes care of the heart itself, thymus glands, and lungs. Needless to say, those suffering from cardiovascular diseases like coronary blockage, cardiac arrhythmia, enlarged heart, etc., and lung disorders like bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, asthma, breathing issues, etc. will need to have their heart chakra balanced.
Cleansing chakra is very important for balancing them. Imbalance in chakras often produces disease, both physical and psychological.
Pranic healing can help you cleanse your heart chakra. Cleansing removes blockages, negative energy and allows a smooth flow of energy. Pranic Healing is a very advanced technique whereby you balance the chakra by first cleansing it and then energizing it. Energizing helps to put more life force energy in the chakra so it would get balanced faster.
Chakras can develop blockages due to internal or external reasons. Internal reasons have more to do with our emotional makeup, our values, mindset, and attitude. External reasons include an accident or a calamity causing the body to get hurt and chakras to imbalance.
Pranic healing can work on both physical and psychological ailments. There are some disorders that originate from suppressed emotional problems, negative beliefs, behaviors, or thought patterns. Pranic healing can treat them as well and help restore emotional health. It can also help you understand chakra location and its properties.
