Blocked Heart Chakra: Signs & Symptoms

In the Hindu chakra tradition, a blocked Heart chakra (Anahata) shows up as difficulty opening up emotionally or trusting others with your heart and similar signs of imbalance. Crystal Cassandra reads these as energetic patterns, not medical symptoms, and pairs Rose Quartz with practice to help restore balance at the center of the chest.
