How the Heart Chakra Influences Emotional Well Being

Emotional well being and Energy
When our subtle energy is abundant, free flowing and of an optimal frequency our physical health and emotional well being are positively affected. When those three conditions are met within our energy systems we feel good!

Emotional Well Being and the Heart Chakra
Poets, Mystics and Philosophers speak of our hearts as a place of mystery and understanding beyond what our rational logical mind understands. It is a place where we can enter into the wholeness of our selves.

Ancient traditions that have energy as a foundational part of their medicine, developmental awareness and spirituality point to the heart chakra as the center where our consciousness shifts and we can develop the capacity for balance between inner and outer worlds.

The heart is identified as the place where we:

• Develop the ability to attune to self and other
• Access deeper awareness of and capacity for spirituality
• Contact the aspect of self beyond enslavement of thought and emotion
• Connect with our deepest nature
• Experience the present moment

Deepak Chopra speaks about the heart as “The Place of openness” where our sense of touch and emotional consciousness are located and where we have the ability to give and receive unconditional love. He goes further in stating that the heart chakra is where we can heal and release feelings of isolation, pain, suffering and unworthiness

Soul Connection Enhances Emotional Well Being
Spiritual traditions reflect that it is part of our life journey to use our heart’s energy to engage in self-reflection, connect with our Soul, move toward balance and develop healthy self-love and acceptance. When we do so, we bring a healthy flow of heart energy to our lives and are able to share that with others.

The heart chakra provides the possibility of opening into inner space where we can connect with wholeness, learn self-love and acceptance, and embrace the duality of life rather than be caught in the separatism of the ego with its judgments of good and bad, black and white.

Positive, balanced qualities of the heart chakra bring us into resonance with love, acceptance, harmony, peace, compassion and devotion. Laughter can flow freely. We can cultivate balance, real intimacy and let go of resentment and jealousy if our heart energies are strong and coherent.
