Heart Chakra Healing Herbs
The Heart Chakra is the center of love, peace, and understanding. The heart chakra is located in the heart space, below the chest cavity, in the center of your being. It brings the lower chakras and the top chakras together in harmony. The heart chakra is represented by the color of Green. Green represents many things: new opportunities, financial abundance, new life, balance, and symbiotic energy. Green represents spring, rebirth and renewal.
The heart chakra also represents, most importantly, love. When in balance with this chakra you fully yourself and love others.
When your heart chakra is blocked you may feel:
Jealousy
Unable to let go
Fear of being abandoned
In constant need of reassurance and validation
When your heart chakra is balanced you probably feel the following:
You easily forgive others and don’t hold grudges
You take care of your needs as well as other people’s
You are compassionate and kind toward yourself and others
You are helpful and always willing to lend a hand
One great way to get connected to the heart chakra is by taking a moment to think about three things you’re grateful for.
Maybe, it’s eye’s to see this computer screen or a brain that comprehends what you are reading. Maybe you are grateful for the sunshine in your window or the person you woke up next to today. Finding small things to be grateful triggers your mind into believing that you really do love your life! By finding things to be grateful for everyday you habitually start to actually feel grateful, which brings more love, harmony and opportunities onto your path.
Another great way to connect to this chakra is obviously, drinking tea! There are many herbs that are ruled by the planet Venus, the element of water and the act of love. Many herbs also help strengthen the heart, blood flow and blood pressure. As always, herbs are designed to bring us closer to achieving whatever feeling, idea or moment we need to achieve.
Here are a few herbs that can assist in balancing your heart chakra.
Rose: The ultimate herb for love, this gentle herb brings an openness to the heart space and allows you to gently melt into peace and harmony with yourself and others.
Cacao: This delish warming herb helps bring us into harmony with both our feminine and our masculine sides. Cacao is rich in antioxidants which help regulate our circulation. It helps in releasing chatter in the mind and releases old patterns of thinking to allow for more gratitude to come into our hearts and minds.
Cinnamon: Improves Blood Circulation and ignites the fire inside of you to take action.
Hawthorn: This herb helps increase blood flood to the heart and keeps your heart strong. It also aids in regulating blood pressure. It aids in bringing strength and courage to the heart center and encourages self-acceptance.
Suggested to take a few of these herbs and mix your own tea blend, take a bath or a moment to yourself and indulge in the warmth of the tea and the taste. Show yourself that love can be had in any moment. You can drink these tea while repeating the following mantras. “I am filled with love.” “I allow others to love me” “I am aligned with all things around me”
With love,
