Hi there! I’ve been having a tough time following my heart lately because it feels blocked… and not just a little blocked. I tripped at a festival this weekend and towards the end of my trip I felt all this pain in my heart chakra, and I could actually see it in my mind’s eye… It looked like a red ball of pain with broken spindles coming off in every direction. The spindles were the connections I am meant to have with others. The trip ended up fine because my friends just kept hugging me, and they ended up taking me to lie down and look up at the trees and stars, but I can’t get that visual or feeling out of my mind. I don’t understand why I feel so cut off from everyone around me, why I feel I can’t connect, and why I am in so much pain… I know I have a lot to offer the world. I know I am loved. But for some reason, I can’t feel it, and it’s destroying me. Is there anything I can do to heal my heart? (please post this anonymously)

It’s possible it’s more than a heart chakra issue because Red is also the color of the Root. That’s the instant impression i got from this and i also got the words “childhood”. Maybe something happened in your childhood that is coming to the surface now for healing? Red energy stimulates heart and blood circulation, it’s the color of the Root Chakra which deals with family, our tribal power,
Stability, grounding, physical energy, will-power and masculine force. It also is about love, passion and sexuality.
Now the Heart Chakra is all about self-love, Forgiveness and forgiveness of self and others, Empathy, compassion and our emotional balance. The heart is the bridge between the lower chakras(physical world) and the higher chakras(Spirit world) When the heart is blocked it can create an imbalance between our connections to others also an imbalance within the connective flow between our higher and lower chakras hence the Root
Most of the times the heart is blocked due to past hurt, perhaps you were hurt in your past and still hold that memory, emotional trauma, unwilling to forgive and hold grudges against others, jealousy, betrayal, bitterness, fear of intimacy or relationships, unable to love yourself, having self-worth issues, unable to accept yourself. It’s one thing to be loved by others but it’s highly another to start acknowledging the love they give to you within yourself. You can’t forget about you, you’re the most important part of the puzzle. If we don’t love ourselves how can we love other people? Remember the mirror. Self-love is crucial to our personal relationships but most importantly our relationship to ourselves.
It’s not only about acceptance but it’s also about forgiveness. Forgiveness for what happened, forgiveness to others who caused you harm or mistreated or hurt you and always forgiveness towards yourself. There is true power in Forgiveness.
The best ways to heal the heart is through self-love, forgiveness and Acceptance of yourself. Compassion by connecting through to yourself and also to others in a very deep cathartic way. If you can’t fully connect through love towards yourself, how will you be able to feel it externally? The Heart chakra is about acknowledging and embracing unconditional love. We are guided by our heart as the heart is the driving vehicle of the soul. Our empathy connects to others by listening and healing with our words actions and kindness. So the best way to heal the heart is asking yourself some of these questions:
What emotional memories do I need to heal?
What relationships current or past require healing?
Are my emotional wounds taking over, causing me to try to control people or situations around me?
Do I allow the wounds of others to control me? How do I let that happen?
What do I need to forgive myself for? Who needs forgiving from me?

I also recommend Rose Quartz, rhodochrosite, Jade, green calcite, any pink or green stone should help 🙂 Also wear lots of green or pink! Even the simple vibration of changing our attire can help us shift our energy to a different state. We usually attract what we need to heal and you will notice the colors you attract within your daily life are usually in align with the chakras that you need to heal and work on. What colors are you wearing today? If you’re wearing orange maybe you need more sacral work or if you’re wearing red maybe you need more grounding and stability, or maybe you’re wearing yellow today because you just feel happy and energized . It’s truly the little things <3 Strangely i’m also wearing a green dress today and drinking matcha so this question was perfect Synchronicity 😉 Must be a Heart Chakra day
I hope this helps you on your way to healing your heart
sending love and healing light to you <3
