Areas Governed...

The 4th Chakra is about love and acceptance. This is where we access our compassion and acceptance of ourselves and others, are provided with a healthy immune system, feel our peace in this life and where our balance comes from.

When In Balance...

We are compassionate, warm, accepting, and are comfortable in relationships and intimacy.

When Excessive...

We can be co-dependent, become clingy or jealous in relationships, have poor boundaries, be demanding and martyr like in our self-sacrifices.

When Deficient...

We may suffer from loneliness and isolation, be intolerant of ourselves and others, be judgemental, have a fear of intimacy and relationships or have a lack of empathy.

Healing the Chakra...

As in the preceding three Chakras, it is important to reconnect with our body when out of balance here. Adding green vegetables or dark leafy greens to the diet can help. Explore breathing exercises, journaling as an aid to self-discovery, allow the release of grief and find forgiveness when appropriate. Physical ailments rooted in this Chakra can include coronary artery disease, heart attack, hypertension, chest pain, asthma, lung cancer, back or shoulder problems or breast problems including cancer.
