Heart Chakra Balancing Essential Oils



Heart Chakra -Anahata

Our heart chakra is located in the center of the chest and is the center of the chakra system. It is the link between the upper and lower chakras. The associated color is green and its element is air.
In the body your heart chakra sees over the heart, blood, circulatory system, lungs,thymus and breasts. .

Indications your heart chakra is well balanced 

Your heart chakra is the source of love and well being. It allows you to love others unconditionally, be generous and compassionate. A well balanced heart chakra allows you to feel joy and self love. People feel at peace around you as you create safe and supportive environment free from judgement. You can appreciate the beauty around you and have the ability to grieve in order to reach peace when necessary. Physically, when this chakra is in balance your thymus, heart and lungs are free from disease and functioning properly.

Signs of imbalance

Indications of imbalance include fear, jealousy, despair and lack of empathy. One may feel withdrawn, possessive, critical or controlling. Imbalance can manifest in the body as disease of the lungs or circulatory system including the heart. Breast cancer can also indicate imbalance. 

Achieving balance

Spending time in nature or a flower garden is simple and effective way to help bring about balance.
Essential oils to help achieve balance include rose, geranium, jasmine, lavender and neroli. Using them is easy.
 ~ Apply a drop over your heart and massage in then rub your hands together and breath deeply while thinking peaceful, loving thoughts.
~Add a drop or two to a room or necklace diffuser.
~  Make a simple room spray by combining 15-20 drops of essential oil blend with 2 ounces  distilled water in a spray bottle. Shake well before use.
~Dress a candle by smoothing a drop or two of your oil of choice to the rim of a candle before burning. A green candle is best for this as it's the color for the heart.
