More about this chakra: This chakra is associated with the Thymus gland and connects the spiritual to your physical body.
This chakra is linked with self love and our ability to love ourselves and others on all levels. Healing of this chakra treats emotional blockages, stress, heart problems and circulation. If this chakra is in harmony you will be compassionate, have healthy relationships and be accepting. If there is a block or imbalance within the chakra then possesiveness, jealousy, loneliness, isolation, bitterness and co-dependency could be issues for you.
If you do experience a block in this chakra then you could visualise the colour Green and imagine that this chakra is opening up like a lotus flower, inside the flower visualise a wheel spinning and becoming brighter and brighter green, all dark areas within the flower are slowly taken over by the colour green and you see it become more and more intense. When this is done imagine that the lotus flower petals slowly close up over the chakra and ask in your mind that this chakra be cleansed, closed and protected.
