The Sacred Heart (Hrit Padma) Chakra is blocked by Ego, a lack of internal freedom, manipulative control, and restrictions in the area of Love and Relationships. This Chakra is blocked by feelings of unworthiness, rejection, or even a constant need for attention, grief, hurt, and the like.
The Sacred Heart (Hrit Padma) Chakra stores all negative experiences (including those from previous lives on a subconscious level) related to Love and Relationships. An imbalance in the Sacred Heart (Hrit Padma) Chakra may manifest as a disconnection from seeing relationships as they truly are, and an inability to live in the NOW or the present moment, a lack of understanding of self-love, a lack of warmth in relationships, and attempts to live vicariously but unaware of what it truly means.
Essentially, the energy of the Sacred Heart (Hrit Padma) Chakra is blocked by the “I-ness,” Ego, or Ahamkara. The blockage is caused by selfishness, a lack of self-awareness and self-worth, hatred, pain, and, most importantly, control over relationships. When most people feel unloved, they try to find that love outside of themselves, believing that something must happen before they can find the inner joy and harmony they seek. “I’ll feel loved and whole when I find my soul mate or when my partner changes,” for example, or “I’ll be happy with myself when I lose this weight.” This, however, is an incorrect approach because your energy creates your reality. Your ideal partner will appear in front of you when you feel loved (because you love yourself) and you should know that you already are whole and complete just the way you are. When you decide to be happy with yourself, you will lose weight. Acceptance of the “Now” is essential for success and happiness.
