254 Heart Chakra Affirmations

Feeling lonely, fearful or co-dependent? Seeking more nourishment in relationships with yourself and others? These may be signs that your fourth energy center could use some cuddling – and Heart Chakra Affirmations might just sooth your soul!

Affirmations are positive statements – declarations that compliment who you are or confirm who you wish to be – that can help you challenge and overcome negative thoughts, encourage yourself, boost self-esteem, relieve anxiety, increase self-love, and expand upon the tangible as well as the mystical properties of the chakras.

How? They stimulate the areas in your brain that make you more likely to effect positive change in regard to yourself and your health.

Repeating affirmations can help you harness the power of your emotions and put them to positive use. Truly believing what you’re affirming is crucial to invoking the ancient magic of affirmations – which science now supports – in daily life.

To deep dive into what affirmations are, how and why they work, and where they fit into the chakra system – check this out!

Chakra Affirmations 101 What Are They And How They Work

In this article, we’ll unpack:

• The Heart Chakra

• Indications of a balanced Heart Chakra

• Heart Chakra blockages and symptoms

• When and how to rock Heart Chakra affirmations

• Affirmations for the Heart Chakra

What Is The Heart Chakra?

Anahata – the Sanskrit name for the Heart Chakra – translates to:

“Unstruck” or “unbeaten” 

Anahata is the fourth energy center in the body. The Heart Chakra is associated with the color green – sometimes soft pink – and the Air element.

Well-being, compassion, and unconditional love reside here. Located in your chest, above the sternum, at the center of the cardiac plexus, its energy infuses love and compassion – the opposite of fear – into every bit of our being and beyond.

The Heart Chakra connects the lower Chakras to the upper. It is the center of the Chakra system, the seat of the Soul.

All of the chakras are linked, so a balanced or blocked Heart Chakra affects the health of the other chakras too. Why? Energy needs to circulate through the body in order for us to be healthy – physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. When the chakras are aligned it flows, when they’re blocked it’s stagnant.

Indications Of A Balanced Heart Chakra

When the Heart Chakra is open we feel a sense of balance, serenity, acceptance, and love. We aren’t afraid to forgive, share and accept ourselves and others as we are. Alignment within Anahata elevates our capacity to give and accept love, from others and ourselves, and be:

• Understanding

• Compassionate

• Loving of self and others

• Empathetic

• Peaceful, internally and externally

• Strong in our immune system

Someone with a balanced Anahata feels happy, confident, and able to achieve. They are excited about life and love and have a sense of purpose. They’re likely warm in character, welcoming and fun-loving.

Heart Chakra Blockages

Key responsibilities of the Heart Chakra are compassion and lovingness, which cultivates the ability to love and be loved, by ourselves and others. Kindness and the capacity to understand and forgive are also empowered or prevented here.

Symptoms of a Blocked Heart Chakra

The Chakras spin and attract energy that is on the same frequency, and in turn, send it back out – like attracts like. The more positive energy a chakra consumes, the more positive energy it releases and the more positivity it magnetizes back. However, the same goes for negativity.

Presence and awareness are crucial when it comes to unblocking, attracting, and manifesting. 

As with the other energy centers, the two main reasons your Heart Chakra may not function properly are due to an overactive or underactive flow of energy (prana). When Anahata is blocked, we may experience anger, fear, grief, jealousy, and other destructive emotions such as:

• Mental – dependency, manipulative behavior, grudge-holding, victim/rescuer mentality

• Emotional – unworthiness, inability to trust ourselves or others, self-isolation, loneliness, jealousy, fear of intimacy, defensiveness

• Physical – heart and lung issues, weak immune system, poor circulation, high or low blood pressure, respiratory difficulties

Heart Chakra Affirmations Can Help

There are affirmations to help elevate self-love, increase trust in others, cultivate independence and excitement toward life as well as stability of wellness including physical, mental, and emotional health and spirituality.

How To Choose An Affirmation 

Simply choose an existing affirmation that resonates with you in the moment – reading it feels like a cuddle or elicits an emotional response or inspiration. Or create one for yourself – this may come to you intuitively, or you might be inspired by ours.

The affirmations here are only suggestions. Please feel free to add affirmations for the Heart Chakra that feel empowering, leave behind those that do not, or come up with your own!

How To Practice Heart Chakra Affirmations

Everyones’ style varies – according to body type, time available, emotional and energetic needs, state of mind, time of the month, etc – and it’s likely that your choices will evolve through the short and long seasons of life pending how you’re feeling and what you’re seeking.

Here are some loose guidelines and tips to get started. Feel free to experiment and sculpt accordingly to suit your needs!

• To practice Heart Chakra meditation, find a sweet spot – many prefer a quiet place.

• Get comfortable, like you would for meditation – seated or lying down, with the spine as straight as possible.

• Focus on the heart space, the chest – the location of the Heart Chakra. You might wiggle or roll a little (seated cat-cows or gentle back bending in the upper back) to help hone in on Anahata. See if you can find and feel a sense of spaciousness.

• Breathe. Consider trying sama vritti – often called equal or coherent breathing – where the length of the exhalation matches the length of the inhalation. No prescribed count, your own pace, rolling circularly from inhale to exhale and back again.

• Read your chosen affirmation over and over, committing it to memory if possible. Perhaps eventually softening your gaze or closing your eyes, if that feels safe, as you continue to say it aloud or silently.

• As you repeat the affirmation, visualize the emerald green color – or soft pink, which some prefer) of the Heart Chakra and imagine it flowing into your energy center. This may appear as an expansion of the color from the center through your body into the space around you, or an increase in vibrancy or saturation, with your inhalation, followed by the color shrinking back to a small point or soft glow with the contraction of your exhalation. Here, strive to feel spaciousness – a sensation of lightness emanating from your Heart.

• Truly, deeply engage – immerse in the feeling of the words of the Heart Chakra affirmation.

• Tip – if you need a little extra to amp your concentration, try chanting the seed mantra for the Heart Chakra: YAM.

Final Thoughts

Choose affirmations that feel meaningful for you, and repeat them regularly. Continue to work with your chosen affirmation(s) until you intuitively feel ready for a new one.

Consistency is key, so choose a few (no more than three) affirmations to use daily. You can either set aside a specific time to meditate with your affirmation(s), or you can repeat them silently in your mind as you go about your day.

Really tune into the words you’re saying, and trust that you will feel the energy they carry as you become who you wish to be. When used regularly, Heart Chakra affirmations are potent mantras – medicine for self-compassion, love, understanding, and empathy – internal and external.
