The Heart Chakra!
When we are balanced within our heart chakra we experience feelings of being able to express love and to give it. We are compassionate, joyful and content.
If we are out of balance in the heart chakra, we may feel unable to give and receive unconditional love. We might fall into depression with feelings of being disconnected or withdrawn. We might become judgmental, intolerant or jealous. Oh the unfairness!
This kind of energy can make us not just emotionally sick, but also physically sick in so many ways!
I was able to find a deep shadow in my own heart chakra when I was very recently triggered in the physical realm. I fell and hit my head pretty badly and then caught a cold. I believe it was all from fighting with this shadow for days. I kept fighting with it until finally enough was enough. I went and had a professional clearing done on myself!
The gift, and deep rooted program I found I was uncovering, was a self-doubt program I'd been holding on to. From being triggered, I was experiencing withdrawal and anger, with absolutely no presence of love whatsoever.
Whether or not this program of self-doubt was inherited or created from when I was a child, it really didn't matter. It was the current stagnant energy waiting to be recognized and released.
And what about the people in our lives that happen to trigger our pain energy? Do they have something to do with the strength of the pain we might be feeling? Maybe if they have been a strong presence and force in our lives, the pain we are feeling is really a moment of truth. The truth that those in our lives who used to be a huge part of it, those whom we still hold love for, may now be growing apart from us.
For me, this seems to make some sense. The energies we once aligned well with within the heart, we may not be aligning well with anymore. We are ready to release certain patterns with certain people.
We cannot expect our growth and expansion to be easily understood, but hopefully we can find it to be respected and honored, because only we know our own life purpose. Only we know our own darkest shadows as we heal them, and we thank those who helped us to even see them at all.
As we continue to clear our chakras to allow the flow of energy, we are allowing open space for endless flows of what we really want.
Now we get to say, "Thank you to those who have, and will, trigger me. Thank you for exposing the shadow that has been lurking within me."
"BE the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi
So again, it's important to clear (or balance) all the 7 main chakras together, not just one, to allow for the full flow of energy to happen.
***NOTE: For very deep emotional traumas, it is always suggested to seek medical advice for that.

Some green crystals associated with the heart chakra are:
Jade - Balancing the heart chakra.

Green Tourmaline: Activating the heart chakra.
Make sure to clean and clear your crystals regularly for any negative energy that might get accumulated within them over time. I use a Citrine crystal to clear all my crystals and gems.
Other ways to clean and clear a crystal:
24 hours of sun or moon exposure (or both).
Smudging your crystal/s with sage.
Using your own positive energy and strong intention.
Placing your crystal/s in a clean and clear running creek or stream for 2 hours.
