The connection between malachite and the heart chakra

When we talk about chakras, we refer to the different energy centers present in the body. It is through these energy centers that vital energy passes. This energy also contributes strongly to the balance of the different chakras between them. In short, every human being has a set of seven different chakras which contribute to stability within the being by ensuring harmony between body and mind.

The chakras are distinguished by the area where they are located. Regarding the heart chakra, it is located in the middle of the shoulder blades in the sternum area (actually, in front of the heart).

From this location, it plays its role wonderfully. It is the basis of the joyful sensations that a person experiences. If it is the heart chakra, it is undoubtedly the chakra at the origin of romantic feelings.

It allows us to unite with others through love. However, this love must first begin with that of one's own person. So, when a person has a harmonized heart chakra, they should be able to feel unconditional love for themselves. She must also be able to experience a set of feelings that highlights the interest she has for others. It then becomes very easy to express yourself emotionally and to be in harmony with your whole being because of the joy you are filled with. This description is correct, but if you still want to learn more about this chakra, here is a guide produced by the site femmenouvelle.fr which will teach you everything there is to know about it.

In short, sometimes the heart chakra is not balanced. In this situation, there are several elements that make it possible to notice this. When the heart chakra is unbalanced, on the one hand, the person concerned shows excessive love towards others. She is ready to give everything to the point of forgetting herself. In return, she only wants attention or love.

This love expressed by this person is conditional. Still in the order of the manifestations of the unbalanced chakra, the person can show great disproportionate pride in their own person. She is therefore full of her personality. Only his being counts. This person is closed to any possibility of opening up to others and forgiving the outside world.

In short, if you or a loved one matches this description of an unbalanced heart chakra, know that the virtues of malachite could easily help you resolve this problem!
