The heart chakra, also known as Anahata is the fourth chakra within the seven main centers of the human energy body.
It is known as the unifying point of the three lower and three upper chakras.
The lower 3 chakras (root chakra, sacral chakra, and solar plexus chakra) relate more to the physical and earthly experience and the higher 3 chakras (throat chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra) deal more with the energetic and spiritual dimensions of existence.
The heart chakra can be seen as a meeting point or unity point of the physical and the spiritual.
In this article, we shall explore some of the experiences or symptoms that you may have during a heart chakra awakening or opening.
Symptoms of your Heart Chakra Opening
1. Experiencing Emotions Deeply
Emotions are one of the most innate aspects of our perception of life, it is true that emotions can be activated, triggered and interpreted through mental thought processes but they can also be generated and experienced as more abstract sensations via our body; quite empathically experienced within the heart energy field.
One of the first symptoms you may experience during your heart chakra opening is you will experience many nuanced emotions at a new intensity and this depth of feeling can increase as your heart chakra becomes completely open.
When your heart chakra is balanced you will feel the emotions that surround the feeling of unconditional love, enjoyable emotions such as happiness, joyfulness, optimism, gratitude, belonging, understanding and so many more (that will be covered more in-depth in the points below)
2. Experiencing Deep Interconnection
An open heart chakra allows for the experience and embodiment of deep interconnection with all elements of existence.
You will be more connected to those close to you, people in general; the flora and fauna of the earth and can even experience a greater connection with non-physical spirit beings.
It is likely you will be more open to genuinely connecting with the people you meet, taking the time to find commonalities or being enriched by the contrast and variety that each unique being can bring to your tapestry of life.
It is also likely that you will be quite at peace with spending time alone, deeply connecting with and loving your own energy.
When your heart chakra is opening you will feel more drawn to spending time in natural spaces, the color that resonates with this chakra is green and so the energy of lush green natural spaces will facilitate in energizing this chakra.
3. Openness to Fully Receiving
When your heart chakra is opening you are more likely to receive all that you desire with ease.
Living from a state of awakened heart energy tunes your energy to a state of gratitude and appreciation.
Gratitude creates a magnetic energy that attracts more of what you appreciate into your life experience.
You will become more aware that from the space of love there is more than enough of everything for everyone and that you are completely worthy of receiving anything you need or want.
4. Generosity
An open heart chakra will fill you with the spirit and action of generosity, your experience of receiving overflowing blessings in many forms will naturally lead to sharing this energy and giving generously.
You will be able to freely and genuinely give from the space of pure love as when this chakra is activated the fear of lack dissolves.
The feeling of deep interconnection that emanates from the heart energy reveals the truth: that in openly sharing both physically and energetically we are being of great benefit to our community, planet, and ecosystems.
Even though you may not expect anything in return, generosity truly only magnifies your attraction power and you will be blessed with all that you need and more.
5. Compassion and Forgiveness
Another symptom of your heart chakra opening is an increased capacity for compassion and forgiveness.
The feeling of interconnectivity with all beings allows for greater empathy and a compassionate understanding of differences.
This compassionate understand makes it easier to cultivate genuine forgiveness, being able to more gracefully let go of the hurtful situation and allowing for fresh loving energy and experiences.
The ability to easily forgive does not mean you will not retain the valuable lessons that are learned through hardships but you will navigate human relations and challenging experiences with greater ease and less collateral damage.
An open heart chakra will help you to have deeper compassion and genuine ability to forgive for the benefit and evolution of both yourself and others.
6. Healthy Conscious Relationships
When your heart chakra is opening you will experience improvements in all your interpersonal relationships.
