Residing in the exact center of the body, the Heart Chakra houses our ability to love ourselves and others. As the center chakra of the body, the Heart Chakra acts as a bridge between the lower and upper chakras, and as such helps with the distribution of prana or chi throughout the body. The Heart Chakra is also the center of our connection to the universe. The blocked or closed Heart Chakra can cause someone to become callous and cold to others, preferring isolation, and forming an inability to socialize and form healthy relationships. A too wide-open Heart Chakra can cause one to have a lack of emotional boundaries, creating unhealthy emotional attachments.
