In this episode of Your Chakra Coach, we explore how the heart chakra (Anahata) responds during a Dark Night of the Soul — those spiritual turning points when everything familiar begins to unravel. You’ll learn why the heart often feels the most during this time, how to support it through grief, and how this difficult season can actually deepen your capacity for love, compassion, and self-connection.
This one’s for anyone whose heart feels heavy, whose identity feels like it’s shifting, or who’s starting to sense that their pain might be part of a deeper healing.
The true nature of a Dark Night of the Soul (and how it differs from depression)
Why the heart chakra often feels the most intense during spiritual transformation
How grief and grace can coexist in the heart space
What happens when old identities fall away — and how the heart holds space for who you're becoming
The role of forgiveness (for others and yourself) as a form of emotional release
Practical, gentle ways to support your heart during a Dark Night
Opening Music by Daniel Michael
