The fourth chakra is referred to as the heart chakra. It is located behind the breast bone in front and on the spine between the shoulder blades in back. This is the center for love, compassion and spirituality. This center directs one’s ability to love themselves and others, to give and to receive love. This is also the chakra connecting body and mind with spirit.

Almost everyone today has experienced a hurt or broken heart so it is no surprise that heart disease is a number one killer today. Deep hurt to ones heart can result in aura blocks called ‘heart scars’. When these scars are released they raise a lot of old pain, but open the heart for healing and growth.

When this chakra is out of balance you may feel sorry for yourself, paranoid, indecisive, afraid of letting go, afraid of getting hurt, or unworthy of love. Physical illnesses include heart attack, high blood pressure, insomnia and difficult in breathing.

A healthy and balanced heart chakra would exhibit compassion, empathy and a desire to nurture others and see the good in everyone. Body parts for the fourth chakra include heart, lungs, circulatory system, shoulders and upper back. The main colors used are pink and green.
