Balancing Your Heart Chakra with Essential Oil

The heart is where we give and receive love and compassion. The heart chakra is the home of these emotions, these attributes that connect us all. We are born of unconditional love, in unconditional love, and as unconditional love. We are love. We are light. We are the embodiment of compassion, although we do not always exercise compassion. And unfortunately, we do not always exercise unconditional love towards ourselves and others.

When we are not fully exercising these innate gifts of love and compassion, I feel it is because we have shut ourselves off from them for any number of reasons. Life's trials and tribulations can cause us to shut down some times. However, we must remember that in order to not be defeated by the adversity of life, we should always love and always share compassion with ourselves and with others.

The heart chakra is located in the middle of the chest (between the breasts) and it is associated with the color green. I have also read some books and other resources state that this area is associated with the color pink as well. It is there where we feel joy and passion of life, of love, and of relationships.

I know that when I am feeling unloved, unwanted, and impassionate that I am in need of a heart chakra clearing and balancing. The essential oil I've found that helps the most with the heart chakra is rose oil. Roses are a symbol of love. They have an extraordinary fragrance. As a symbol of love, rose oil compliments the heart chakra very well for that reason.

Simply visualize a green wheel of light within you at the middle of your chest. See it beaming with healing light. Enjoy this light. See the wheel spinning steadily in a clockwise motion. As you hold this image in your mind's eye, put a drop of the rose oil in your hand, rub your hands together, and hold them about 2-3 inches from your face. Breathe in this healing scent and continue the visualization for a few more moments.

When you feel unconditional love towards yourself and others, when you are compassionate towards yourself and others, and when you are able to be forgiving towards yourself and others, these are signs that your heart chakra is cleared and balanced. In addition, you will notice a difference in the types of relationships you have in your life - whether old or new. You will make better choices when it comes to matters of the heart.

Blessings to you on your path!
