Best Heart Chakra Crystals (5 For The Heart To Balance Anahata)

Discover the 5 best Heart Chakra Crystals for opening, balancing and aligning Anahata. We explain why achieving energetic balance within Anahata is critical by exploring its function as the central meeting place of physical and spiritual energies and our bodies energetic harmoniser.

Learn which are the best stones for the heart!

Anahata, also known as Heart Center, is located in the center of your chest, and is the central chakra in the chakra system.

It is the 4th of our major chakras and is located directly between the lower 3 Physical Energy Centers (Muladhara, Svadhisthana, Manipura) and the Upper 3 Spiritual Energy Centers (Vishuddha, Ajna, Sahasrara).

Energy from the heart is a combination of the physical and spiritual. Therefore your heart chakra is the energy that keeps the flow of physical and spiritual energies balanced.

It is for this reason that we need to ensure Anahata is kept balanced and aligned. If not balanced, we find our entire harmony is out of balance.

The heart center acts as the conduit for all physical energies that rise up from Muladhara the Base Chakra and the Spiritual energies flowing down after entering Sahasrara the Crown Chakra. This is why our heart center is so vital to health and emotional wellbeing..

Anahata determines the entire health, strength and balance of all energies that flow throughout our body. This chakra is all about love and healing and is the chakra of the heart space.

The heart space controls all emotion, and so when it is out of balance, our entire system is as well. This often manifests through you becoming overwhelmed with emotion, or the opposite, where we feel empty and void of them altogether.

Anahata Chakra Information

The merging of the spiritual and material aspects within Anahata engenders energies that encourage us to perceive life from a balanced perspective and to look beyond our individual selves. This can be seen in the meaning of the number 333, a divine call for the need to find balance.

We start to explore the possibility that we are more than just the physical.  We begin to seek answers and to ask important questions.

We accept that our make up is more than previously thought, that it is a combination of spirit, (or the soul) and the already known physical earthly form.

Achieve Balance and clear A blocked Heart Chakra.

When Anahata is balanced we have the power and ability to forgive, to love unconditionally and live a life in natural harmony.

We can give our love without compromise or expectation, spreading harmony and warmth to others around us.

But even more importantly, we are able to accept and understand that we must also provide this unconditional love and emotional nurturing firstly to ourselves. 

With a balanced and energetically aligned and open heart chakra we radiate love in everything we do and to everyone we encounter.

Why Achieving Balance Is Vital.

When you have a blocked heart chakra you lose the ability to “sense” or “feel” the reality around you. You lose touch with your true self, your true emotions and find it difficult to be at ease or at peace.

This left unchecked can lead you to make poor decisions, or misinterpret the actions snd intentions of others around you.

Eventually this leads to building heart walls or emotional blocks for self protection which in reality leads you to become further detached from the world and everyone else in it.

Your relationships suffer. Your health suffers. You lose energetic balance and the ability to self moderate.

This imbalance leads you to retreat into yourself, and to live in “the head”. When you try to live via physical energies within the emotional world you may encounter periods of over thinking, emotional confusion and the inability to express your emotions in a healthy way. Therefore you need to engage in heart chakra healing using a stone for the heart or your emotional centre.

How To Recognize An Overactive Anahata Chakra.

An overactive Heart Chakra can bring about feelings of being emotionally overwhelmed.

This surge of energy causes exaggerated love and the heart is unable to judge the reality of emotion. We experience extremes of high emotion such as grief, sadness, jealousy, greed and anger.

Due to the excessive energies we find we are unable to apply logic to situations and do not rationalize in the way we would usually deal with our emotions.

An overactive Anahata Heart Chakra is commonly associated with a lack of self acceptance and self worth. This can be seen by the tendency to live our life through other people and viewing our emotional wellbeing as being dependent upon others.

This sadly results in unhealthy associations and our difficulty in forming and maintaining positive personal relationships.

How To Recognize An Under Active Chakra.

When Anahata is only partly open, or is under active, we do not receive the naturally required heart energy and we are unable to form, express and experience emotion.

This makes us feel that we are unloved and unloveable.  Sadly this is often confirmed in our eyes, as relationships are difficult to maintain and lead to us being seen by others as aloof, cold and distant.

A lack of naturally flowing and balanced Anahata Heart Chakra energy makes it very difficult to not only form relationships, but also to understand why we would want to.

However, regardless of the imbalance impacting emotions, those with under active heart chakras do notice that others view them as cold and distant.

This perceived lack of warmth from others and lack of meaningful connections often brings with it feelings of inferiority. The lowering self esteem triggers neediness and an almost constant cycle of seeking emotional support and validation. 

However, it is the start of a sadly repeating cycle. The neediness pushes others away. This lessons and lowers self worth further.

malachite

3. Malachite – Stones For The heart Chakra

Malachite is the third of our heart chakra stones  As a green stone for the heart, it is a stone of balance. But malachite is the stone that balances abundance, aides manifestation and helps with setting intention. Therefore it is the stone often used for heart balance when emotions involve the future and setting intent.

Malachite actually absorbs energies that are associated with emotional imbalance by drawing out any buried or suppressed emotions.

This enables a true clearing of the Heart Chakra and aids in the activation of Anahatas balancing role. We achieve aligned balanced and optimised chakra flow.

Stone of Transformation

Malachite is often referred to as the “stone of transformation” because of these properties for deep energetic cleansing.  It emits energies that provide emotional healing and positive transformation.

Malachite draws out and disburses trapped negative energy. It brings forth and uncovers old and unhealthy emotional patterns, past traumas, and suppressed feelings.

However, like Rhodochrosite, it does this with very gentle energies and never in a way that is overwhelming. 

It should be noted that because Malachite absorbs all of these negative energies it is important you “clear & cleanse” the Malachite stones often.

aventurine

4. Aventurine – Heal the heart with Hear.

Green Aventurine is an excellent stone for your chakra after Malachite. It helps release patterns, habits and disappointments that could potentially lead to a return of negativity and imbalance.

It allows us to feel hope and optimism, enabling us to move forward with confidence and embracing the positive change.

Aventurine resolves any final energetic blockages and rebalances Anahata.

A green aventurine natural point crystal necklace can be worn to protect you from negative influences.

rose quartz

5. Rose Quartz – Stones for Love.

Rose Quartz is the best crystal for self love. It is probably one the most well known crystals. And rightly so. It is the stone of Unconditional Love.

It emits vibrational energies of heart healing, of compassion, of peace, of tenderness and emotional comfort.

Rose Quartz helps with the release of stored and trapped emotions and as it does it aids healing of emotional wounds, fears and held resentment.

Rose Quartz emits tender and loving energies that are felt throughout our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.

Rose Quartz vibrations bring about a reawakening within Anahata. This reawakens the heart chakra to its own innate properties and potential for love.

This in turn provides the energies required to develop our sense of personal fulfilment and contentment.

Give and Receive Love

It is one of the best of the chakra crystals because it enhances both the energy to give love and to receive love from others.

Rose Quartz vibrations penetrate the innermost chambers of the Heart Chakra where our traumatic and deep emotional experiences are recorded.

These deeply rooted energies are able to be released through the use of Rose Quartz and through this we lighten and lift the spirit.

Rose Quartz aids the removal of deep seated, long buried energetic sorrows and trauma. This breaks down any heart walls we built for emotional protection and replaces them with softer energies of healing, of understanding and of comfort.
