#Grief causes the heart chakra to become imbalanced; to get stuck in one of five stages:
-Denial
-Anger
-Bargaining

When there's too much energy:
-Everyone gets your love
-No boundaries within relationships

-Giving without restraint
-Saying yes to everything and everyone
-Codependency

When there's too little energy:
-#Loneliness
-#Shyness and social anxiety
-Being overly #critical towards yourself and others
-Holding #grudges
-Inability to give or receive freely
-#Suspicion and #fear, especially in friendships and romantic relationships

Balancing the heart chakra:
-#meditation and yoga (element of air)
-go out in #nature, activities involving air; kite flying, sailing, etc.
-take notice of the color green when you're out
-surround yourself with green #plants, add the color green to your wardrobe
-daily #affirmations of #gratitude, #love, and #compassion
-acknowledge, #honor, and deal with hurtful, painful, and resentful #feelings and then let it go
-#create a #sacred internal and external space where you feel #safe, #loved and #caredfor

When the heart chakra is balanced:
-Feeling love for others, for life in general
