Heart chakra blockages

[lamb1]

Hi everyone.
I have constant pain in my heart chakra. I practice forgiving and don't really want to hold on to any grief or resentment. I am aware that everything is as it should be and sometimes I can feel it deeeeply. I am sensitive and fragile, I rather don't act or play with anyone when among people and thus stress can easily distract me and influence.
Please, tell me, what I can do to let the Love flow easily through my heart and mind. I feel sometimes as if I had an little ugly malicious entity inside my chest and I wonder what I can do to release all the tensions I have on my chest.
Is there anyone who could help me?

In my view heart is a tough one. Love employs no force and is innate to us, so it should be easy but it isn’t. Why? Because of misalignment between head and heart, between ego and soul. Hence we need to discern here ~ is the impulse felt by us from ego/identity or from spirit/universal consciousness?

Recognition is the key. Mindfully plotting thought flow if we cannot cease it altogether, slowing thought, simply looking without judging or asssigning ownership to thought.

It’s a slow but sure process.

As for entities etc., they visit if we are fearful, we invite them. So don’t. That’s all.

I’d suggest look at the core of the issue instead of getting entangled in what this or that chakra represents.

Surprisingly, try singing! Do you live alone - that makes it easier.
Learning the words to a couple good songs, figuring out how to actually
keep a tune. occupies your mind for one thing...
like people preventing dementia will play a Crossword puzzle ...this helps the mind, too.

There is something about the voice and the chest and throat that all syncs up and it is ...well...try it and see --I could say uplifting...
makes you light hearted.
Lemme know how it works for you ...gotta sing like half the song...not just a couple lines, ya know.
Get your breathing , diaphragm and vibrato going...you don't have to have a good voice...just stay in tune...sing with feeling.

lamb1, love always flows freely and entities can't affect you if you don't allow them to. Use some kind of affirmation everyday to keep that love flowing in its natural form.

Miss Hepburn, I completely agree with your suggestion about singing .... singing along with birds, with nature and with shower in bathroom are some of my stress busters

@Miss Hepburn - Yes! I can verify the value of this. I knew someone that ended up becoming quite the semi-pro singer just trying to mend (and succeeding when singing) her heart chakra _/|\_

Send healing energy to your heart. You deserve to be loved, cherished and healed too. There are frequency music videos on youtube that are tuned to the various chakras you can listen to. You can also take your hands and hold them to you heart chakra and send energy to heart chakra from your hands. Send outside energy into your crown chakra down your shoulders into your hands and to your heart or up through the bottoms of your feet, through your trunk, up your shoulders and down and into the palms of your hands to your heart.

A few years ago I had this same issue. Here are the steps I took and it does take time, firstly make peace with everything in your life that has hurt you or burdened you, then be careful in your every day life, if something upsets you go and journal it straight away so that it does not and cannot go into your heart space.

Then go out and walk bare foot on the grass, ask Gaia to bring healing into your body and all the way up to your heart. This is not a one stop thing, you will need to do this indefintely and one day you will realise that the pain is softer than it used to be.

Oh and I am with Miss Hepburn re: the singing - do that too Also what Traveler says is good too.

SMART! Many people don't get the power of 'grounding' ---walking or just placing your bare feet
on the ground sitting in a lounge chair.

One of the things the heart is associated with is flow and movement and rhythm. Breathing in a kind of rhythm, doing meditation-movement exercises (like qigong/taichi), dancing in the zone, or even mindful walking, flowing with life, feeling carried, feeling the lightness of being - all these are heart opening.

Ever notice when you sigh how much lighter you feel, and that something seems to be released from the center of the chest?

When your heart is open your hands become warm (as in reiki). Sometimes your hands want to move by themselves. There is a huge heart meridian extending to the hands for giving and for receiving. When your heart is open you want to socialize. Your arms want to hug. Sometimes there is fire burning in your heart and it almost hurts but it doesn't.

Sometimes like Miss Hepburn said singing helps because the open heart wants to sing. It's an expressing chakra. It wants to express in the world. The heart is the center of the soul (the astral part of us). We feel lighter and happier when our emotions are more pure. Listen to the birds singing at dawn - their heart chakras are wide open.

The heart is what makes us religious - we want to congregate when we're in the heart and love each other. Of course there are spiritual paths for every chakra but this is the one that joins hands and praises. The heart is a social chakra. That's one of the reasons it feels so unburdening in the heart when we share with someone who is a good listener, but sincere prayer can do this too.

As young children we are naturally open hearted unless that is interrupted by some karmic event or circumstance. All of Nature is the heart in expression. Looking through the eyes of the heart is liberating, healing, rejuvenating.

The physical body rejoices in the happiness of the heart chakra. The vyana vayu spreads prana throughout the body, driving the blood to spread the oxygen around to all parts, every cell. When we send loving energies to our bodies, every cell becomes warm in response as its own little "heart" responds like a child to its parent.

I've learned that to understand what's bothering the heart I need to use my intellect and to keep the emotions from going AWOL I need the intellect - but to actually open the heart - to actually FEEL it - the intellect just gets in the way so now I'm rediscovering the joy of my emotions and my body (the "lower" part of me that isn't "lower" at all) ((and no chakra works in isolation either))..............

..........p.s. One last tip: try my joy thread below. There must be a smile in it somewhere. Reach into your soul and add to it!
