Heart Chakra Information for Rhodochrosite and Garnet Necklace

The fourth or heart chakra is located in the heart, chest and shoulders.  It is called the heart chakra because it is the place where we feel joy and a universal love for all of life.  It is where we hold the capacity for healing and hope.  Love, compassion and kindness are positive feelings we hold in the heart chakra.  Negative emotions such as despair, depression, cruelty and loneliness are felt in this area as well.  Common phrases that describe the sensations of the heart chakra would include: My heart was overflowing with love, He/she broke my heart, I love you with all my heart or How can you be so heartless?.  Depression is often described as having a heavy heart, or carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.  More than any other chakra, the state of our heart chakra determines how happy we feel.
