Heart Chakra in balance

In the tradition of chakra teachings, a balanced Heart Chakra is seen as a state in which we feel loving and connected to others and are open to love and joy in our lives. It symbolises inner peace and the ability to give and receive unconditional love. According to this tradition, people with a balanced Heart Chakra are often kind and caring towards others.

What does a 'too open' Heart Chakra feel like?

In chakra teachings, however, a Heart Chakra that is too open is associated with excessive emotional involvement and dependence on others. According to this tradition, people with an overactive Heart Chakra, for example, focus too much on the needs of others and forget their own needs.

What does a 'too closed' Heart Chakra feel like?

In chakra teachings, a Heart Chakra that is too closed is associated with feelings of loneliness, isolation and separation.
