When the energy in your fourth chakra is blocked or
hindered, you may experience what is sometimes re-
ferred to as heart chakra pain.
The heart chakra, known in Sanskrit as Anahata, is
the fourth chakra and is located in the center of the
chest. The energy center is not located where our
actual heart organ lies; rather, the heart chakra is in
the center of the chest area. It is the primary chakra
associated with the element air, and its energy is as-
sociated with the breath and its movements, as well
as the idea of spaciousness and connection with all
things. Also, it is associated with the color green, and
in higher energy frequencies, it can turn to pink.

The main meanings or functions associated with the
heart chakra are:
• Love for oneself and others.
• Relating and relationships.
• Compassion, empathy.
• Forgiveness, acceptance.
• Transformation, change.
• Ability to grieve and reach peace.
• Compassionate discernment.
• Center of awareness, integration of insights.
When the heart chakra is open, you may feel being
deeply connected to the harmonious exchange of en-
ergy and with all that is around you, as well as having
a deep appreciation of beauty. However, when there’s
a blockage in the heart chakra, you may experience
difficulties in relating to others, such as excessive
jealousy, codependency, or being closed down and
withdrawn. Physically, an imbalanced heart chakra
will manifest in your body as heart palpitations, chest
pain, poor circulation, heart conditions, high/low
blood pressure, and difficulty breathing.
The heart chakra can become imbalanced as a re-
sult of life experiences that have a strong emotional
charge, physical ailments, or significant changes in
your environment. It may manifest as a blockage in
the energy flow or, on the contrary, a tendency to be-
come overactive or have an excess of energy.
Signs your heart chakra may be blocked include feel-
ings of shyness and loneliness. If you cannot forgive
or a tendency to lack empathy, then you may be lead-
ing with your head more often than your heart.

Flip that the opposite way and an overpowering chakra
can include feelings of codependency, and looking
outward for acceptance or fulfillment. Intense jealou-
sy or harsh judgment of others is also a red flag.
If you fall into the blocked category, figuring out how
to rebalance your chakras boils down to repressed
emotions. Whether it’s a traumatic event stemming
from childhood that you can’t even remember, or a
grudge you’re holding so tightly from last week.
When you repress your feelings, your heart chakra’s
balance gets out of whack.
Try to set these three intentions to extinguish your re-
pressed emotions, whether you’re consciously aware
of them or not:
1. Be open with your emotions any way you want!
Whether you write them down or scream out
loud, you need to let them out. Be extremely
honest and open with every word; don’t hold
anything back. Write coming from the heart —
it’s always painful, but it’s part of the healing
process. Even if you have no intention of anyone
else reading what you write, it’s so helpful to put
your feelings into words so that you can become
comfortable, aware, and at peace with it.
2. Stop clinging to your feelings.
You get what you give. Live in the present mo-
ment. Dwelling in the past loves, or past prob-
lems only bring you down, and if you stress about
the future, then we aren’t living fully. Like most
things in life, it’s easier said than done. Do your-
self a favor and consciously work on this one!
3. Practice the art of acceptance.
A good rule of thumb is, “If you can’t change it,
forget it.” Why stress about something or some-
one you have no control over? It’s a waste of
time and energy. Instead, focus on what you can
control. That’s what will bring you contentment
and happiness. Set your daily intention to going
with the flow and letting it be.
Try incorporating these three reminders into your dai-
ly life, and always remember that love is the greatest

healer. Especially love for yourself. Keeping this in-
tention will help open your heart.
Simple ideas to balance the heart chakra
To get started, try out these few simple practices:
• Work with the breath to balance your energy;
observe it, play with it with breathing exercises.
• Cultivate your appreciation for beauty, whether
it’s in nature, people, or the arts.
• Practice self-care and love your body; try a bath
with rose essential oil. 
• Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, espe-
cially with regards to your emotions and body.
• Engage in activities that feed your heart.
• Focus on receiving if you are naturally inclined to
be a giver, and on giving if you’re more inclined
to receive all the time.
• Reflect on old wounds inherited from family
relationships and come to terms with them com-
passionately; practice forgiveness deep within
your heart.
• Express your gratitude. You can be grateful for
the presence of other people in your life or sim-
ply for good things that make your life easier and
happier.
