How can you enjoy your passions when you still have unresolved hurt crowding your heart space? Is it really passion or is it just an obsession?
We spoke about expressing your truth with the throat chakra in the previous post, but here, you must tap into your heart to know your truth as well!
This is the place of your true feelings. True love is felt here, but sometimes our mind will tell us a different story that doesn't always feel good, when it comes to love. No matter what your experienced, your heart can always feel love from this space. Though this chakra is a master healer, in order to connect with unconditional love, you must be balanced.
It's important to understand the depths of love when you look into your heart, and start to define love with yourself first! You can't experience the fullness of love if you're not willing to connect to the divine.

Our parents/caregivers didn't have access, nor the privilege to be introduced to self discovering tools and emotional awareness. It just wasn't the way of societal thinking, so it really wasn't exposed. But I'd say this type of knowledge has been flourishing since the late 70s/ early 80s (to my understanding). It sounds kinda crazy, but if you were born before the 2000s, chances are, your parents were foreign to this type of "self love" stuff! I'm not trying to say no one couldn't learn this. I'm just trying to say even though our parents (and our ancestors) may not have been capable of this kind of self-love, we have the space and opputunity to learn how to transform our deep emotions into true (self) love!
Take your time with discovering your new found love of self, because it doesnt happen overnight! Plus you got to be willing and open to see the truth of your emotions, and get past the feelings of regret, disappointment, rejection, etc. to reach the purity of self-love. Even when you come to a place of pure (unconditional) love, you will still encounter pain; but now you'll have the knowledge of how to work through those heavy feelings a lot easier. Shoutout to the "generational pattern breakers" in the family... this work is tough, but you built for it's, as well as have many strong ancestors ready & willing to help! See yourself in a new loving way so you can shift your view point from broken to whole!
Your heart is a magnet, having the ability to attract what you truly desire. Yet if you're trying to attract something without TRUE intentions & TRUE self love, two things can happen:
You attract something you don't want
You attract something you thought you wanted but deep down really didn't
Your passions become clear when you lean into what you desire, but how can you make your desires a reality without the magnetic pull of the heart? That's why a lot of people feel like they aren't a good manifestor because they're not being true to what they are feeling in their heart. Remember... you are always creating/ manifesting, you're just not aware of it unless you're setting intentions.
A blocked heart chakra can keep you stuck in cycles you really don't want to be in, but find yourselves still going back to the same people, places, and things... all because you are still vibrationally matching those things around you. In other words, sometimes our emotions are too overwhelming for our brain to process. Sometimes people are aware of these emotions and sometimes they are not. Either way, unprocessed emotions somehow get stored into our subconscious. In layman's terms, those old feelings turn into beliefs that limit you from change, and you have to wake up (become aware) to some type of feelings to let them go.
How can we create without love?
Love is a higher vibrational frequency and so is gratitude, but you can't have gratitude for something you're still grieving. Grief for sure will block your heart chakra. So know that being vulnerable with yourself, giving yourself time, and being open to try something new can start the balancing act of your heart! Tap into the frequency of love. Cleanse and release old hurts so that you can have more room to receive love from others.
When you start to feel like you can trust your feelings, and start to recognize the presence of its vibration, you grow fonder of pure feelings that help you release heaviness. Practice allowing your feelings to flow intuitively through your body by doing something that makes you feel happy. Balancing your Heart Chakra starts with self-trust. Commit to your own healing journey that resolves past wounds and add compassion towards moments that may have caused self-harm and hate. Self-judgement does NOT belong here! Start having gratitude for the littlest things, and make a list of new (or old) things that get you excited to do. Eplore what you're passionate about! This is a good way to practice self love as well as bring your heart space back into balance. You'll know you're coming into balance because you'll be more self aware and easily recognize how you feel when your energy is centered. Remember the heart chakra is in the middle of the main 7 chakras, so stabilizing your emotions will automatically help align the others too!
