Finding a Balance

The heart chakra is definitely one centered on our lives just as it is in our bodies. It is located in the center of the breastbone and regulates our interaction with the external world. The heart chakra is all about the balancing act. It keeps us involved in the world around us but keeps us from being too overindulged. It helps to balance our inner self with the environment around us. When in balance the heart chakra aids us in understanding our own needs and emotions clearly and we are more able to sustain balanced relationships as a result. However, when your heart chakra is out of balance you may feel either controlling or controlled in a relationship or you may become critical of the little foibles of others. You may feel a tightness in your chest or that things in life are beginning to feel overwhelming.

As spring continues to warm the earth’s crust, a frenzy of growth converts barren landscapes into lush glades, and the leaves of plants and trees emerge in a thousand shades of green. As it is, green is the color of the heart chakra. Like their counterparts in the plant kingdom, the green gems and minerals are the “growth crystals.” They are powerful conduits of the earth’s Life Force of birth, development, and creation, and of the power of nature’s constant renewal.
