Understanding Chakra Energy to Maximize Health and Wellness

Today, I am going to talk about the heart chakra. I am also going to introduce our Chakra Light Therapy Device, but first I would like to do a little review of chakras. A chakra is a concept from Indian spiritual traditions referring to energy centers in the body. These spinning wheels of energy are believed to influence various aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual health.


The seven chakras are energy centers in the body, each associated with specific qualities:


  • Root Chakra (Muladhara): Basic survival, stability.
  • Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Creativity, sexuality, pleasure.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Personal power, confidence.
  • Heart Chakra (Anahata): Love, compassion.
  • Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Communication, truth.
  • Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Intuition, insight.
  • Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Spirituality, enlightenment.


Each chakra is linked to different physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being. Balancing them is believed to promote holistic health and harmony.


The Heart Chakra


The Heart Chakra is the wellspring of love, warmth, compassion, and joy. It is green in color and, of course, is located at the heart center. It is the center of your deep bonds with other beings, your sense of caring and compassion, and your feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness, and respect. The heart chakra is an integrating and unifying chakra - bringing to wholeness the three chakras above with the three chakras below - as such, it is your healing center. Indeed, most spiritual traditions recognize love as the ultimate healing force.


The "way of the heart" is living your life from this energy center of love. It means living your life with loving kindness and compassion towards others. It means that your heart is open to others and you inspire kindness and compassion in others. You create a safe and supportive environment when this chakra is open and functioning.


Others can feel your love and warmth. They feel loved and accepted unconditionally. People feel at peace around you, as there is no judgment coming from you. When the heart chakra is open and energy is flowing freely, you are not only loving to others, you are also loving to your self. You know when you need to say no and when you need care and self-nurturing.


All of the seven chakras are important and while I cannot say that the Heart Chakra is the most important, I do want to say that it is very important. Most of the world's spiritual traditions recognize love as the unifying force, the energy that is the most fundamental part of the universe, and of ourselves. To open to love is to reach to the deepest places and connect with our true essence, our spirit, and our soul.

Yoga Poses for Heart Chakra

If the heart chakra is closed or unbalanced, one can feel paranoid, unworthy of love, afraid of getting hurt, hypertension, insomnia, difficulty breathing, heart disease, asthma, lung circulation, and shoulder and upper back pain. To help open this chakra, try these yoga poses, which are excellent:


  • Cobra Pose
  • Forward Bend Pose
  • Camel Pose


Gems such as rose quartz, watermelon tourmaline, and kunzite help too. At a higher vibration, the heart is pink. Chakracises include:



  • Hugging yourself
  • Eight pushups (even if against a wall) or
  • Eight breaststrokes in the air to help move stuck energy.


Heart Chakra Affirmation


Reading this affirmation also helps energize your heart chakra:


I sit alone with my heart, and I ask the divine spark of Father God to blend with the intuitive wisdom of Mother Earth to open my heart to all they have to offer, to integrate their love into a self-love that overflows to all that I come in contact with. Search my heart for all suppressed emotions, for any resentments or buried anger.


Find the guilt and bring it all to the surface, and bathe it in your light. Let me forgive myself and all others who have caused me any harm. May they forgive me if I have caused harm. Let me embrace your love as I fall in love with this new self, forgiven, cleansed, and filled with hope!

Our Chakra Light Therapy Device

Man Using the Chakra Light Therapy Device at Healing Arts NYC

Our Chakra light therapy device balances chakra energy by emitting specific colors that correspond to each of the seven chakras. Here is how it works:


  • Photon Absorption: The body absorbs photons of light, which can influence biochemical processes and energy flow, benefiting the related chakra.


  • Psychological Impact: Colors have a known psychological impact. For example, red is invigorating, while blue is calming. These responses help align the corresponding chakras.


  • Meditation & Visualization: During sessions, individuals focus on the illuminated color and visualize it entering and balancing the chakra. This combines the light's visual impact with mental practice.


  • Holistic Integration: Light therapy is often combined with other practices like Reiki, yoga, and mindfulness, enhancing overall chakra balancing and well-being.


By using targeted color light therapy, this device harmonizes the body's energy centers, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual health. You don't have to know anything about chakra's to come in and try a session!
