An imbalanced heart chakra affects our love life, jobs, health, relationships and how we interact with the world. Including ourselves! Take this quiz to find out where your heart is blocked or balanced. Check off what reflects your current state: 

IN HARMONY 

• I feel fully connected to my truest, innermost self. 

• I accept & love myself unconditionally. 

• I am able to genuinely give love to others, without expectation

• I openly receive love from others and ask for help when needed. 

• I feel deep compassion for myself & others, flaws and all. 

• I am able to forgive my own mistakes & people who’ve hurt me. 

• I am emotionally resilient. 

• I often feel joy & a deep sense of gratitude for life. 

• My heart embodies my free spirit. 

OUT OF HARMONY 

• I feel disconnected, lost & out of touch with my true self.

• I struggle to love myself fully.

• I find it difficult to give love without reserve or expectation.

• I don’t feel deserving of love & hate asking for help.

• I am quick to judge & lack compassion for myself & others.

• I can’t or won’t forgive myself & others ( we/they don’t deserve it).

• My emotions easily get out of control.

• I feel depressed, apathetic or numb.

• My heart it broken, or I feel trapped or alone.

Notice which side has more checkmarks. You’ll see both your strong qualities and those that need work. 

Life throws constant curve balls, so our chakras are rarely fully balanced, unless we maintain awareness and work through blocks, balancing and nurturing our energy consciously. Like our physical bodies, our energy and emotional bodies need full-time TLC. Meditation and yoga help us get it.
