Heart Chakra Healing

What is Heart Chakra Healing?

Location of the Heart Chakra

The Heart Chakra – also known as the Fourth chakra, and Anahata chakra – is located next to your physical heart, along your spine right in the center of your chest. The heart, lungs, breasts, upper torso, shoulders, arms, hands, and thymus gland, are governed by the fourth chakra. It is the energy center for expressing and balancing your own emotions and needs, while considering the emotions and needs of others. The heart chakra is associated to the color Green, the element Air, and the sense of Touch.

Heart chakra healing is about open and balance the 4th chakra. The fourth chakra plays a major role in how you feel and express unconditional love to yourself and others. By opening the heart chakra with different heart chakra healing techniques, you will allow unconditional love to freely flow in to your experience. Heart chakra healing is about embracing unconditional love, forgiveness, and about loving and accepting yourself and others. It’s about about letting go of anger, hatred, jealousy, bitterness, grief, self-centeredness, and fears of betrayal and loneliness.

What is Higher Heart Chakra Healing?

Due to human evolution, we have now also access to the higher heart chakra, also called as the Thymus Chakra, High Heart, Unified Heart and Soul Seat. It is located just above the physical thymus gland – above and to the right of the heart chakra – between the heart and the throat chakra. Also, the higher heart chakra is situated further out in the human aura; in the area of the etheric heart. The thymus chakra resonates to the colors aqua, turquoise, green/pink. So what is the difference between regular heart chakra healing and higher heart chakra healing?

Regular heart chakra healing is about earthy love and emotional healing, and its highest manifestation is unconditional love. The higher chakra’s starting point is unconditional love and it is the ultimate center for love and compassion. The higher heart chakra is situated between the heart chakra and the throat chakra, and thus connects the emotions of forgiveness, compassion, truth, and Divine love (the heart chakra), to the area where our language originates (the throat chakra). Our intents originates from this area, and it is from here we allow to speak from the heart.

Also, higher heart chakra healing allows communication between human and spirits, making it possible for true guidance to flow easily. It enables communication with our higher self, our personal guide, and the Angelic realm / the realms of light. Higher heart chakra healing is about releasing fear, and selflessness, and also about forgiveness, compassion, and connecting to the Divine love. Higher heart chakra healing will help you to connect with spiritual love and higher consciousness.

Healing the thymus chakra will create a stronger healing outcome, since it is associated with the thymus gland, responsible for the immune system and DNA. Furthermore, higher heart chakra healing aids communication, and the use of sound resonates with the higher heart chakra. This is why sound healing has a very strong healing effect in the etheric body.
