What Does The Heart Chakra Do?

People enjoy life to the fullest when having a meal with people they love. Couples spend their date over a plate of food, mothers bake cookies for their children, for some reason, people like to share food with the people they love.   Heart Chakra is all about expressing and receiving love and food is an excellent medium for this.
 
For those who are unaware of chakra, it is an ancient belief that you have seven major energy points that radiate throughout your body.  These energy points are called chakras, and are sources from which energy flows.  The different chakras, which means “wheel” in Sanskrit, are connected to specific parts of the body and must be balanced in order to have an undisrupted flow of energy.  The fourth chakra, which is linked to the heart is the heart chakra, and is the source of all unconditional love and the simplest desires one might have.

 The heart lungs, circulatory system, blood, arms and hands are linked to the heart chakra.   The function of these specific parts are based on the wellness of the heart chakra, by opening and closing this energy point one is able to cure the mentioned body parts.  This is what a chakra healing specialist would do to balance the seven energy points in your body.  Balancing your chakras are aided by medication, meditation and the use of chakra stones that help suppress or release specific chakras.
 
Gemstones that are used for the heart chakra are rose quartz, kunzite, watermelon tourmaline, jade and adventurine. Rose quartz, kunzite, watermelon tourmaline, jade and adventurine  are gemstones used to balance the heart chakra.  Green and pink are the colors that represent the heart chakra, the stones aforementioned share the same colors.  Most of the time the heart chakra is seen through a green aura but can sometimes turn pink when unconditional love or a deep feeling of love is experienced.

Sharing and receiving love is what keeps this chakra well balanced, and this is well depicted when sharing a meal with your loved ones.  Like the saying goes, “your body is your temple,” so loving and caring for ourselves means providing the body with nourishment and eating the food we love.
