I cannot emphasize too much that the heart chakra is the center of love not the center of discernment. Individuals having difficulty making life decisions are often advised to “follow their heart.” Doing so is a problem if a person is focused and operating from the solar plexus chakra rather than the third eye, for then the heart chakra will function as an emotional, reactionary, or needy center, which prevents the heart from giving a clear message. Like the sun that shines on my lawn and yours, the heart radiates without discrimination. “The heart is a radiator not a discriminator.”
