The Heart Chakra is considered the center of our spiritual core . It is where we harness our capacity for love , empathy and compassion . Through our heart chakra we learn forgiveness and how it not only frees the person being forgiven, but also ourselves from the restrictions of anger and resentment.
It is through this chakra that we form connections and relationships that help us spread love and empathy to all other living beings . When we are holding on to trauma and past wounds ; we close our hearts off to the love that we seek in life . We form a blockage or a wall around our hearts ; preventing us from embracing the love that’s around us. It makes us afraid and hesitant , causing us to miss out on valuable connections.
