Heart Chakra

The Heart, according to Chinese medicine, is the king of all organs. This means that all the other organs will sacrifice for the Heart. In other words, they will always give their energy to help the Heart maintain its balance.

The Hearts partner is the Small Intestine.

The Stomach is the “child” of the Heart. If the Stomach is functioning well then, the mother, the Heart is happy or less impacted.

In this simple analogy we understand that Stomach energy must be in balance for Heart energy to be balanced.

When a person is under continual stress, Liver energy becomes compromised because one of its energetic functions is to smooth and regulate emotions. So when chronic stress or excessive emotion is experienced, the Liver cannot offer proper support to the Heart.

Your body-mind-spirit has an innate wisdom, and if we are not living your life in a way that reflects our life’s mission or spiritual purpose, that wisdom can kick in and produce symptoms to get our attention to initiate change and greater wellness.

In other words, your frustrations, or unresolved life issues will eventually manifest on the physical body to help you make changes in your life.

When we find ourselves in the midst of a healing crisis, we can actually choose to see it as a path towards our own healing and growth rather than an inconvenience or an obstacle in our way.

The heart chakra, the fourth primary chakra, located in the center of the human body, is associated with love and understanding it is also the gateway to the spiritual chakras.
