Part 2/6:
An underactive heart chakra may present itself physically through symptoms such as a collapsed chest or difficulty breathing. Emotionally, it could manifest as feelings of depression and an inability to nurture oneself or others. In contrast, an overactive heart chakra often leads to behaviors like co-dependent relationships and a neglect of personal needs as one becomes overly involved with others' emotions.
The ideal state of the heart chakra embodies balance, fostering healthy relationships with both oneself and others. When functioning properly, the heart chakra allows us to embrace compassion, nurturing, contentment, and forgiveness. A vital aspect of a balanced heart chakra is the recognition of unconditional love that lies within, nurturing our genuine essence as human beings.
