The Heart Chakra

The Healing Heart Chakra

The essence of the heart chakra calls forth the awakening of the healer within. This awakening gives us the power to heal ourselves and brings us back to our natural state of health. The heart chakra resonates with the healing power of love: the frequency of infinite possibilities. When we allow healing to come into our heart chakra it aligns us with this higher energy and we begin to answer life’s questions with ‘what would love do now?’

Why is the heart chakra important for healing? The heart chakra is here to purify our intentions and allows us to resonate with the frequency of love, where healing and guidance take place and where one’s healing becomes an intuitive process.

The element of the heart chakra is air and air seeks freedom. This freedom is also exactly what our inner essence is seeking. When we get sick it’s because on some level we’re either controlling or being controlled or suppressing ourselves or our creativity and none of these situations allows our energy to flow. It’s when our energy flows with freedom that healing can take place. Remember, it’s not necessarily about the illness; it’s about the person being ready to let go and be free.

Now let’s look at the heart chakra and the role of the healer. All successful healers have a structure in place that moves a process from a to b to c. When you combine this structure with the power of belief (a deep belief in what you’re doing) and again combine this with the law of attraction (what you focus on expands) then successful healers can produce results before they even step into the room!

Doesn’t that sound like a miracle?

And, once you really ‘get it’, not only can you get results before you step into the room, you even understand that there is no room! In fact, there are no techniques! There’s only one thing and that one thing is love. This is really what healers are tapping into, whether they’re aware of it or not. It’s really about tapping into the higher intelligence and this higher intelligence is love. Love has the power to heal us from the inside out. Love is always flowing through us and when it’s flowing freely then we’re healthy. This love has no limits, except for the limits we place on it. Part of the journey of the healer is to awaken their own energy from within, to open themselves up to the natural flow of energy moving through all of us and the entire universe. When we allow this healing energy to flow through us we can help to heal other people.

The heart chakra is either open or closed. When the heart chakra is open, the body’s energy flows freely and you experience health and wellbeing. When the heart chakra is closed then it closes down the emotions and the natural energy flow and over time the body experiences sickness. When the heart chakra is blocked the issues that arise can include problems with the heart, circulatory system and lungs. These areas often become congested when we excessively hold on to emotions such as grief or regret.

When we look at our own health it’s important to look at what we’re creating from this moment forward. Many people are simply repeating their old patterns and beliefs, old pain and sickness, year after year…

The good news is that you can heal yourself! Not from outside but from inside of you. There is an intelligence that flows through you and that intelligence is love. That is you. When we remove the obstacles to the flow then health is the body’s natural state. We can say that health is clarity and clarity is simply the lack of obstacles.

We’re not here to escape life, we’re here to be alive, to be present, to enjoy our life and to bring spirit into our life. It’s not about having an out of body experience; it’s about having an inner body experience. True happiness is found when we’re in our body because our body allows us to experience life; it allows us to feel and to connect.

The healing power of nature is that the body wants to return to a balanced state. The nature of the body is that it is able to self diagnose and repair itself. For example, when you cut your finger your body heals itself because there’s a system in place with the purpose of maintaining health! This is really what the essence of the heart chakra is about, that your body has an ability to heal itself. Sometimes we get in the way of this system and we mess it up! When we can remove the energy that’s blocking the system from working then the body begins to heal itself again.

What are the most important heart chakra lessons?

1. Let go of resistance. Stop resisting life. Everything happens for a reason - to serve you, not to punish you or to take away from you. Everything happens to guide you, to support you, to help you to grow and expand and become all that you’re here to be.

2. Let go of grief and regret. People often focus on their grief, on losses they’ve had, on regret about things they’ve done or haven’t done in their lives. Regret is like a hand brake; it holds you back in your life. We must let go of our grief and let go of the handbrake of regret because they keep us living in the past. You are not your past; you are whatever you decide to be in this moment. You are whatever you focus your energy on. When you focus on health, well-being and joy then that is what you’ll create.

3. Overcome the need to be right - the ego. The heart chakra transcends this. There is no right, there’s not just one way. The heart chakra understands that in a field of infinite possibilities there are many ways, there’s no right way there’s even no wrong way! There’s just simply the creation of whatever we focus on. Give up the attachment to being right and simply allow yourself to be open, it’s your choice! The more you open and expand the more health and wellness will come into your life.
