The Heart Chakra in balance
When your Heart Chakra is well-balanced, you’ll be able to offer empathy to others and be emotionally open to trusting and accepting yourself as you are at this moment.
A balanced heart chakra enables you to wait patiently for the right relationship and not be afraid to be alone.
When the heart chakra awakens, you’ll arise out of the ego identity to see beyond the veil of the illusion of separateness.
The Heart Chakra is out of balance
The heart chakra gets out of balance when your relationships with others are out of alignment.
That is to say, whenever you feel unloved, inferior, fear rejection, or the avoidance of being alone — there are signs of an underactive heart chakra.
