💚The heart chakra, the fourth primary chakra, located in the center of the human body, is associated with love and understanding. Things like stress and emotional pain usually caused by bad memories, old programming, emotions, and/or overthinking, can block your heart chakra, and make it difficult for you to form and hold onto healthy relationships. Directly over the heart and the thymus, its corresponding nerve plexus is the heart plexus. This chakra affects the thymus gland and the circulatory system. Emotional issues: Love, joy, inner peace. Physical Issues: Heart attack, high blood pressure, insomnia, and difficulty in breathing.⠀

But there is something you can do. Your objective should be to try to stay connected to yourself and spot any blockage and continue to work on yourself, pointing to therapeutic activities such as journaling, yoga, meditation, and even talk therapy. Do not think, however, that if you remove your blockage one time you are done. There is no one-time fix; clearing a blocked heart chakra, just like all other chakras, is an ongoing process. Be aware of when your actions and thoughts stop your enjoyment of life, and then start unblocking. ⠀
⠀
Sharing love and doing good deeds for others is one way for you to feel loved, needed, and appreciated. However, it can become so time-consuming that you forget to focus on yourself, and it may even reach a point where others begin to expect you to to help them, in a way that's unhealthy.⠀
⠀
To avoid this, remember to establish and maintain healthy boundaries — always. This will benefit you, as well as your relationships. And that is, of course, the whole point of looking at heart chakras in the first place.⠀
⠀
So, do you feel stuck emotionally? Do you have habits that are holding you back? Looking into ways to unblock your heart chakra, and feel more open, can certainly help.⠀
