At its core, misalignment in the Heart Chakra is not fully loving who you are. With this troubled relationship with the self comes troubled relationships with others. It may manifest in a variety of ways: as social withdrawal, caring too much what others think, playing the victim or having a messiah complex, or holding on to grudges and angry thoughts towards others.

A blocked Heart Chakra is a difficult load to bear. Fortunately, there are healing crystals for Heart Chakra balancing that can help you get back on track.
