HEART CHAKRA - FOURTH
CHAKRA |

circulatory system. |
The heart chakra acts as the balance
point for all the chakras. It governs our relationships and how we interact
with other people. A balanced heart chakra is expressed in acceptance of self
and others, personal values and ethics, following one's unique direction in
life. |
A balanced Heart Chakra means
expansion, freedom and growth. |
Some signs that the Heart Chakra is
out of balance are: |
- Lack of self discipline
- Difficulty in relationships
- An attempt to live vicariously
through another
- Dependence on someone else for
your happiness

agate, green jasper - are used with the heart chakra. |
Healing and the heart
chakra |
For healing, green is used to balance
the vibrations of the nervous system. It is said to aid any heart problem or
blood pressure disorder. It is also used to restore tired nerves and will help
those in need of more energy. |
Although green is the primary color
used with the heart chakra, it can also be effective to use pink stones (such
as rose quartz or rhodonite) if more softness, affection and love
seem to be needed in working with the heart chakra. |
