BUSINESS TRAINING

Is a blocked heart  chakra keeping you from taking the action necessary to make the connections that move your business forward?

Your heart chakra is of the energy center located in the center of your chest where your heart is, and it’s represented by the color green. The heart chakra is the energy center that connects you to other people. It’s your center of love and unconditional acceptance of yourself and others. When it is blocked the energy that helps to connect  you with your clients and gives you the fuel required to serve at a high level stops flowing which stifles your ability to be vulnerable and genuinely connect with others. 

Signs of an Imbalanced Heart Chakra

When this energy is blocked, you might feel lonely or withdrawn from the world and the people in your life. Or perhaps you feel disconnected from your business—staff members, partners or clients. Or maybe you’ve been feeling resentment toward people, jealousy, or you’re feeling on edge and seem to be having a hard time trusting others. 

You may also find that you are feeling trapped, missing your own independence, and that you’re suddenly very dependent on other people. You’ve been feeling secure, like you cannot survive on your or you’re investing a lot of time, energy and attention on other people’s problems as a distraction from what’s really going on in your own life or business.  

You may really be experiencing a lack of self-love or self-acceptance, feeling a need to be validated, looking for constant reassurance from outside people, secretly hoping they’ll notice your efforts and compliment or praise your hard work, reassuring you that you’re doing a good job (because it doesn’t seem to matter unless someone else notices). These are all signs that your heart chakra is out of balance and needs to be realigned. 

Human beings need love, acceptance and connection more than they need recognition, money or success.

How an Imbalanced Heart Chakra Affects Your Business

When you feel distant, insecure, unimportant or unworthy, your decisions and behaviors reflect that. Human beings need love, acceptance and connection more than they need recognition, money or success. When these basic needs aren’t being fulfilled, you unknowingly will put all other goals on hold until your most fundamental needs are met. 

For example, you might: 

  • Lower prices to please a client (I want them to work with me, I like them so much!). 
  • Resist asking for the sale (what if they say no and I ruin the relationship we’ve got going).
  • Avoid networking to make connections and grow your business (what if they don’t like you?) 

What behaviors are you engaging in or avoiding that are sabotaging your business? If they are people-oriented, there is a good chance your heart chakra is blocked or imbalanced. 

Balancing the Heart Chakra

Balancing your heart chakra and opening yourself up to genuine love and connection will give you back the confidence to admit mistakes without feeling guilt or shame, to ask for what you want without fear, to put yourself out there without worrying what others might think. And It will give you the courage to make connections that move your business forward. 

Here are a few practices to start implementing—both practical and metaphysical—that will help you unblock you heart chakra and get it back into balance. 

Practical Ways to Balance the Heart Chakra

  1. You absolutely must start accepting and loving yourself. You have flaws, you have made mistakes and you’ve messed up. You’re human—that’s what you’re supposed to do! You would be an alien if you didn’t. Showing yourself compassion and forgiving yourself for any mistakes that you may have made in the past is an essential and critical first step. 
  2. Work on accepting others—flaws and all. This may require you to practice forgiveness and exercising your compassion muscle—loving them despite the fact that they’re doing things that you don’t approve of or agree with. 
  3. Minimize comparison and jealousy by flipping the switch on that toxicity. Try asking yourself, “Is this person somebody I can learn from? Are they showing up in my life to show you what’s possible for me? This person could be triggering you because somewhere inside, you know you’ve been holding back. Thank them for reminding you of the potential that exists for you too, step up your game and go after what is yours! 
  4. Practice refraining from judging others. When someone is doing something you wouldn’t do, notice their choice and say to yourself, “Okay, that’s interesting. I wouldn’t do that, but they’re not me. I choose to accept that this is their decision and not get involved or attached,” This is especially important in your relationships with clients, coworkers and staff members, as they will not always make the decisions that you agree with, but it’s important to attempt to understand without judgement when they do. If a corrective action needs to be taken, practice compassion and empathy as you take it. 

When you get really, really good at accepting others’ unconditionally—flaws, mistakes and differences—you get better at accepting yourself because your new way of thinking and behaving becomes a habit. Rather than creating distance with judgement you create connection with a positive attitude that energetically declares, “Your human. You’re not perfect, and I love you anyway.” 

You can adopt this attitude toward others others as well as yourself. The more you mess up and say to yourself, “Oh, that’s okay. I’m human and I love myself anyway. I’m going to keep going, and I’m not going to let this hinder me from moving forward and making progress,” the stronger your heart center becomes and the easier it will be to stay in that energy of love and acceptance.
