Heartache

Challenge #118

Take a good assessment of your heart chakra today, the fourth energy center in your body that governs the chest, heart and emotions. Breathe deeply and focus on your heart area and, begin to notice what you are feeling. Have you ever been in a situation where your heart has felt any sort of discomfort? Can you attribute that pain to an emotional cause, such as a relationship break-up, disappointment from others or yourself, unacceptance? And if so, are you completely healed from this? Are you in a currently difficult emotional situation?

When we are in emotional distress, our bodies take a toll, and some of us associate that impact where it hurts the most, in the heart. Heart attacks affect both women and men equally, neither is more susceptible to them than the other. Women, however, think they are less likely to be affected by them and so wait longer to look into treatment for early symptoms.  I challenge you to look into your heart health today. Have your arteries checked for blockages, take a look at your cholesterol and plaque levels and blood platelet count. In your mind's eye, visualize a beautiful emerald green color swirling from the center of your heart expanding outwards, healing and comforting your heart area, releasing the pain, the guilt and all the other negative associations held in there. Remember, if you feel and pain or discomfort in the center of your chest or areas of your upper body, numbness, shortness of breath, unusual pressure, nausea or light heartedness, call 911 or contact your doctor immediately. Widowmakers can cause death within 5 minutes, you owe it to yourself to be in charge of your own heartaches.....
