Lately I’ve had a lot to say about the heart chakra and the love energy that it uses to make connections. What isn’t so widely known about the heart chakra is that in addition to forming connections with other people, it is also responsible for attracting positive synchronicity, decreasing resistance and attracting positive influences and circumstances into your life.
Unlike most of the other chakras, the heart chakra can’t be strengthened by working on it directly — its strength lies in the connections it forms. In that sense, it can be considered as an energetic network hub. Usually these connections are formed unconsciously; for instance when we connect socially, if the heart chakra is healthy and open it will send out an energetic connection to the other person as well. Today I’ll share some ways to make those connections deliberately, as well some benefits of doing so.
In addition to being a fun toy, the plasma ball (pictured) makes a pretty good metaphor of how the heart chakra works. This is also the basis of the technique I use to connect to others with my heart chakra. Before I go out in public, I’ll do some pre-stimulation of my heart chakra by raising some energy into it and pulling at it with my awareness until I feel that it’s active (although the more I do this, the more active my heart chakra gets by default!). Then while I’m out, I imagine and feel my heart as a plasma ball that continuously puts out those tendrils of electric energy in order to make connections with the hearts of others, and give them a little burst of love-energy. Bonus points if you mentally send a kind word to people you pass by; something like “all the best, friend” or “have a good one, buddy.” The more I use this technique, I’m finding that I can hold the “plasma ball” concept in the back of my mind, and my heart chakra will send out these connections without my direct focus or deliberate mental action. I figure eventually my heart chakra will learn this habit, and do its plasma ball thing automatically without any input from myself.
When I first started doing this, the result was an immediate, dramatic difference in the way people would respond to me. I was getting lots of random smiles and hello’s, and even people striking up conversations. At the grocery store, a woman actually asked me to go in front of her at the check-out for no particular reason that I could gather. Things like this are becoming pretty commonplace, and it’s amazing to me because these things have simply never happened for me before. As much as I’ve worked on being open and friendly, I’ve seen no change in the way other people would avert eye contact and hurry past — until I brought my heart chakra into the mix. Now people are initiating contact with me more often than not, and interestingly it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with my current mood or any outward attempt to appear friendly on my part — it’s all in the energy I’m putting out. This kind of energy is in such demand that you end up giving a little energetic boost to everyone you connect with, and people will naturally respond favorably to you more often than not, even without fully knowing why.
Once you’ve had some practice, get creative and find new ways to incorporate heart-energy into your daily life. Some possibilities I’ve had good results with — try doing it before making a difficult phonecall to connect with the person on the other end beforehand. When you get up in the morning, imagine connecting at the heart to yourself at the end of the day — with the idea that this heart energy will smooth out the path in between, and the day will go in your favor. Experiment with connecting to someone at the other end of a crowded room and see what happens.
I’ve also been trying to build myself an “energetic heart-based network” that spans the globe, with the idea that when I need something, it will be provided through that network, and I will also be put in a position to support others in this network as well. I do this by imagining myself very large, and far above the earth, sending my connections toward the planet as it spins, to be picked up on by those so inclined. I know some may be thinking “but we’re all connected already!” — which is true. But the everyday reality is that for most of us, connecting at the heart level, and making that sense of interconnectedness part of our normal awareness, takes a lot of practice. This is one way I’ve found that strengthens my heart chakra as well as my sense of connectedness.
If you’re using these techniques and not seeing or feeling any results, your heart chakra may have blockages that are preventing the energy from being able to connect. If this is the case and you feel comfortable doing the necessary energy work yourself, I recently posted a technique to clear these sorts of blockages. Alternately, the energy healing sessions we offer will clear your heart chakra of obstructions and give you the relevant information to keep it that way.
Of all the work I’ve done with my own energetic system, working with the heart chakra has been by far the most rewarding and fun. Get creative with it, and share your experiences with us!

Hi Palehorse,
I’m wondering if you could distinguish for me the difference between the connection you are making and say just a typical chord between two peoples heart chakra say at an emotional level. I ask this because as someone who does out of body healings on people, I have had small children make connections to me unbeknown at the time while doing healings on them because they perceived me as a savior and hooked into me so they could try and on draw on me whenever they felt threatened. As a result of this attachment that was made, I had an entity that rode that connection into me and started siphoning energy off my system while my guard was down during the healing. It wasn’t long before I figured out it was there and as soon as I released it, another entity came across the same chord which I observed take place and cut the chord between me and the child and released the new entity that took the old ones place. I learned some valuable lessons in the process at a price of having my energy system being sullied for 5 days even after the entities were released. I learned to operate from the element of air when doing such healings so that no hooks can be made into me and I learned not to underestimate what I am dealing with just because someone is two years old. How does what you are doing here differ from that connection that say I have between a family member or friend and myself? I openly broadcast the thought ‘you’re beautiful and I love you unconditionally’ into everyone I see everywhere on a daily basis out of my heart chakra and I can see, perceive and control the force of the energy coming out of it to guide it into people and even carry around like a wave. I have had all sorts of similar synchronicities as you have experienced as a byproduct of doing this but I know that I am not making chords with these people, just pushing it through their energy systems and ensuring that they pick it up on a subconscious level. I’d love your feedback on this, the topic interests me greatly. Namaste.
