The Heart Chakra acts as the crucial bridge in this 10-stage system. Located in the center of the chest, it connects the lower three chakras (the physical self and survival) with the upper chakras (the mind and spirit). Governed by the element of Air and the colors green and pink, it is the center of love, connection, compassion, and internal dialogue. Addiction thrives in profound isolation, driving the individual to burn external bridges and develop a cruel, punishing internal critic. The work of the Heart Chakra is not just about making amends to others; it is about extending radical, unconditional compassion inward. We will be focusing on connection, self-compassion, internal dialogue, and un-isolating to dismantle the wall of shame that keeps you isolated and to learn how to speak to yourself as a friend rather than an enemy
