Powerfully written and deeply relevant, Unlocking the Heart Chakra examines the central relationships in people’s lives and offers a plan for understanding them. The emphasis is on healing every step of the way, from one’s first relationships with parents and caregivers, through sibling bonds, to connections with friends and lovers. By applying the principles of the chakra system and learning to use the energy of the heart center, people can become aware of the power of love in all of their interactions. Dr. Brenda Davies recommends special meditation exercises, visualizations, and affirmations to remove blocks and open the capacity to love without limits. With access to a sense of compassion for themselves and others, people can move gracefully into a happier, healthier future.

WOW. WOW wow wow. There are so many things I could say about this book. I will simply start off by saying that the topics discussed apply to any and everyone, regardless of race, age, gender, or faith.
Having a spiritual awakening about a year and a half ago opened me up to the idea of connecting with the “ether” more - really thinking about who or what is out there. There are definitely still times when I find myself doubtful, but this book is the perfect anecdote because it starts with the self. Having love for yourself and others is the key to life. It’s the key to peace. To any and everything we desire and deserve.
Going through many interpersonal relationship issues (friends, family, views of self and the world) - this book tackles all of these things with grace and understanding. It’s so beautiful, with many case examples being that the author is a psychiatrist (so not too “woo woo” for the reader that doesn’t know much about spirituality).
A compass and a key. Will be carrying these words and meditation practices with me during the rest of my time here. My heart is opening and it feels really, really good.
