The heart chakra, located near the center of the breastbone represents higher consciousness and love. The Heart chakra is associated with the heart, thymus gland, lower lung and circulatory system.

The heart chakra acts as the balance point for all the chakras. It governs our relationships and how we interact with other people. A balanced heart chakra is expressed in acceptance of self and others, personal values and ethics, and following one's unique direction in life.

A balanced Heart Chakra means expansion, freedom and growth.

Some signs that the Heart Chakra is out of balance are:

 -Lack of self discipline

 -Difficulty in relationships

 -An attempt to live vicariously through

another

 -Dependence on someone else for

your happiness

The color associated with the heart chakra is Green. Green symbolizes harmony, creativity, health, abundance and nature. It is the combining of yellow (soul) and blue (spirit). Green, nature's color, offers new energy and revitalizes tired nerves.

For healing, green is used to balance the vibrations of the nervous system. It is said to aid any heart problem or blood pressure disorder. It is also used to restore tired nerves and will help those in need of more energy.

Happy New Year!

I am absolutely brimming with joyful expectation for what's in store for us in this new year. I hope you share in this excitement as well. All the blessings and lessons from 2013 will certainly create a magnificent journey through 2014.

My greatest lesson from last year, that I am sure to keep in the forefront of my journey, is 'to let my head be in service to my heart.' Removing the protective bars and learning to soften the rough edges around my heart, so that I could be open for the abundance of love and support that was begging to come in, was a great growth experience for me.

So, my number one intention for 2014 is to keep my heart open - to everything, every opportunity, every stranger, every experience, every connection, and every gateway to abundance. How about you? Is your heart open? If you're challenged in this area, I hope this issue will inspire you to unlock it!

I would love for you to share your thoughts about this with me. Write me at [email protected], I'm listening.
