Heart Chakra Imbalances and Trust Issues

Trust issues often stem from deeper energetic imbalances, particularly in the Heart Chakra (Anahata). This energy center governs our ability to give and receive love, form meaningful connections, and establish trust—both in ourselves and others. When the Heart Chakra is out of balance, we may experience emotional distance, fear of intimacy, or difficulty opening up fully in relationships.

Healing the heart requires understanding, reflection, and conscious energy work. Below, we explore reflective questions to uncover the roots of trust issues and actionable steps to restore balance and emotional openness.
