Heart Chakra Affirmations to Find Love and Serenity
Replenish your life with love, serenity, and happiness by practicing these simple heart chakra affirmations.
Love is one of the purest emotions. It is also quite universal. We’ve all experienced love from others or have felt a deep sense of love for someone else. Our love may be for people close to us, our parents, family, or friends. As humans, we need love, care, and compassion to live a life full of serenity and happiness.
In an age where we are all connected digitally all the time, we’ve become increasingly disconnected in reality. Our fear of rejection and our insecurities often come in the way of finding love. Even if we already have loving relationships in our lives, sometimes, we struggle to express ourselves. Be with our friends, family, at work, or with a special someone.
It is in times like this that ancient yogic literature can help. With its wealth of knowledge that is relevant even today, this philosophy clearly defines relationship issues and gives actionable solutions for it. Before we dive deeper, let's talk about the basics.
What is Prana, Nadi, and Chakra?
According to the ancient yogic culture, ‘Prana’ is the life force that travels through our body subtly through the means of tubes or channels named ‘Nadis’. It is said in ‘GorakhshaShataka’, an ancient book by Hindu yogi ‘Gorakhnath’, there are 72,000 Nadis in our body. They are just like railway tracks. As we see railway tracks intersecting at the junction point, Nadis too have a junction point. This junction point is named ‘Chakra’.
There are 114 chakras in our body. Among these 114 chakras, there are 7 chakras that hold special significance. These are located at different locations throughout your spinal cord and above. These chakras are Root chakra (Muladhara), Sacral chakra (Svadisthana), Solar plexus chakra (Manipura), Heart chakra (Anahata), Throat chakra (Visuddha), Third eye chakra (Ajni), Crown chakra (Sahasrara). Each is responsible for a specific function in a human’s life.
Let us look at one of the important chakras among these 7 which serves as the meeting point of the top and bottom three chakras. It is ‘The heart chakra’.
Heart Chakra
The lower three chakras represent the physical existence of human beings, while the upper three chakras represent the spirit that is going beyond normal life, and the heart chakra is the meeting point between these two. You can see in the symbol of the heart chakra, there are two triangles intersecting inside the circle; one is in an upward direction (The upper three chakras), and another is in a downward direction (The lower three chakras).
The physical location of the heart chakra is at the center of your spine, in your chest near the heart. Each chakra is associated with a certain element and the element associated with this chakra is air. This is the reason why breathing is a very important part of yogic culture as it helps open up the heart chakra. It is also associated with the color green which is the color of life and symbolizes calmness, healing, and support.
Importance of Heart Chakra
The heart chakra is the reservoir of a human's love, prosperity, and happiness. It is the center of joy and compassion. If your heart chakra is stable and balanced, you will find yourself surrounded by love, compassion, joy, and happiness. You will be optimistic about everything and be able to find good in every bad. You will have profound relationships with people. You accept people the way they are and establish strong connections with them.
“In the chakras, it’s the heart chakra, Anahata, the central chakra, three above and three below, which symbolizes happiness and love, psychic oneness, spiritual understanding.”

Signs of Blocked Heart Chakra
An imbalanced heart chakra can bring a storm of loneliness into your life. If this chakra is blocked in any way, you start to feel isolated and left out. You don’t feel connected with yourself and the people around you. Negative emotions like jealousy, criticism, hatred, etc. start to rise within you. The fear of failing, and trusting people arise. You fail to cope with emotional issues and relationships become strained.
Besides these effects, you may also have physical effects like heart issues, lung issues, upper back issues, deficiency in immunity, etc. You’ll start to feel underconfident and face social anxiety. Dependence on other people will increase immensely. Your self-esteem will drop to a great extent. The irritation will increase, and you’ll get frustrated by very small things.
