Balancing the Heart Chakra
Use Green Energy to Attract and Restore Harmony, Love and Prosperity
Using the green energy of essential oils, foods and gemstones can help bring about balance in the heart chakra. Invoking Goddess Inanna will also attract harmony to you.
When our Heart chakra is out of balance, we can feel dishonest with money, possessive, jealous, reckless, stingy and cruel. It is easy to restore health to this area by using green energy.
Our chakras are constantly moving in and out of balance. This is very normal but when an imbalance lasts for too long, we may experience physical manifestations of illness. To remedy this, we simply need to set the intention of re-connecting with ourselves.
The Heart chakra is located in the heart and surrounding area. This chakra governs harmony and balance within our lives. When this chakra is working properly, we experience harmony, understanding, self-assuredness, adaptability, sympathy, compassion, generosity, and love.
The Green Chakra
The color we associate with the Heart chakra is green. Green energy brings about increased feelings of abundance, healing, fertility, employment and luck. When we live with a balanced Heart chakra, we experience overall good health, growth and prosperity. As well, we have positive and loving feelings for others and ourselves.
Too Much Green? Use Red.
Think of that phrase, “Green with envy” and this is what it means to have too much green energy. Dishonesty with money, possessiveness, jealousy, recklessness, stinginess, cruelty and lack of discrimination also indicate excess green energy. When this happens, you can use the color red to offset these negative characteristics. Simply drop a red gemstone into your pocket (such as coral, garnet, smoky quartz), wear red clothes, eat red foods (tomatoes, beets, radishes, strawberries, cherries) or use some “red” essential oils in a diffuser (cinnamon, patchouli, black pepper, ginger or sandalwood).
The Goddess Inanna
A Goddess we can invoke to help balance our Heart chakra is Inanna. She is the Mesopotamian Goddess who manages universal law, the sky, leadership, love, movement and peace. Her symbols include dates, rainwater and roses and her totem is lion.
Simple Inanna Meditation
Inanna’s energy can help you restore harmony, understanding, self-control, adaptability, sympathy, compassion, generosity and love back into your life. To invoke the powerful and positive characteristics of Inanna, gather together several green-energy gemstones such as emerald, peridot or jade. Light a green candle (to symbolize the green energy of the Heart chakra) and ask to receive Inanna’s energy and abundance. Ask her to enter your Heart chakra. When you do this, you may feel a tingling sensation – this is normal and just means you have connected with this chakra. Ask Inanna to heal your chakra and help restore balance. Sit in this space for a while and when you feel ready, thank Inanna and bring your conscious mind back to the room you are in. Hopefully you will feel restored, energized and in balance after this simple meditation.
