The essences shown here are all ideally suited to healing and balancing the fourth, or heart, chakra. This chakra is traditionally associated with the color green, as well as with pink, especially the paler and more delicate shades. Green flowers and gems associated with the heart chakra, such as artemisia and stinging nettle, tend to promote a calmer, more peaceful disposition and alleviate irritability, anger, and moodiness. Pink flowers and stones such as pink zinnia, European columbine, and mangano calcite, meanwhile, can help to heal deep emotional wounds and allow us to become more open to love and affection. Rhodochrosite is a classic example of a soft pink stone that corresponds strongly to the heart chakra. It can help to soothe a broken heart, moving grief and sadness out of the body and leading a person back to self-love, openness, compassion, and emotional balance. Mangano calcite essence, similarly, can help to heal deep grief or emotional trauma and facilitate empathy and love. While these stones have a soothing effect, other essences offer more of a strengthening energy for the heart chakra. Tiger’s Eye has a balancing and centering effect that makes it especially helpful for resolving discord in relationships. Hound’s tongue and teasel both have a powerful fortifying effect on the heart; they can help us to feel stronger, more assertive, and more hopeful about the future. Other essences Ava recommends for the fourth chakra include bull thistle, mountain ash, motherwort, Canada thistle, buttercup, St. John’s wort, and Canada goldenrod. . . #fourthchakra #4thchakra #fourthchakrahealing #heartchakra #heartchakrahealing #chakrahealing #energyhealing #essencehealing #artemesia #stingingnettle #pinkzinnia #europeancolumbine #manganocalcite #rhodochrosite #tigerseye #houndstongue #teasel https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0N9JcrAf_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
