When people talk about opening the heart chakra, they often focus on the front—the part that radiates love outward. But did you know the back of your heart chakra is just as important? It’s the gateway to receiving love, abundance and support from the universe.
Many of us unknowingly keep this part of our energy blocked, which can create a pattern of over-giving, struggle, and feeling like we have to do everything alone. If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much love and effort you put out, it doesn’t seem to come back in the same way, your back heart chakra may be closed.

Why the Back Heart Chakra is Key to Receiving
While the front heart chakra is about giving and expressing love, the back heart chakra governs how we allow love, abundance and support to flow into our lives.
When this energy center is blocked, we may experience:
- Difficulty receiving love, compliments, or help from others
- A sense of isolation, even in relationships
- Struggles with financial flow and abundance
- An unconscious resistance to surrender and trust
- Physical symptoms of an intermittent aching, gnawing, pain in the upper back between the shoulder blades (seek medical advice to rule out any medical issues). This pain may be aggravated by our emotional state.
When open, this chakra allows us to receive with ease—whether it’s love from a partner, financial blessings, or divine support from the universe.
How a Closed Back Heart Chakra Blocks Love & Abundance
A blocked back heart chakra often develops due to past heartbreak, betrayal or fear of vulnerability. Over time, this creates an energetic wall that prevents love and abundance from fully reaching us.
Signs of a closed back heart chakra include:
- Feeling drained from always giving but rarely receiving
- Struggling with financial blocks or a scarcity mindset
- Difficulty trusting others or surrendering to support
- Feeling emotionally closed off, even if you crave connection
When we unconsciously block our ability to receive, we limit the flow of love, wealth and divine blessings. Opening the back heart chakra removes these blocks and aligns you with effortless receiving.
The Power of Opening Your Back Heart Chakra
When you consciously open your back heart chakra, you shift from struggle to flow. Instead of forcing outcomes, you naturally attract love, opportunities and prosperity.
Here’s what happens when this chakra is open:
- Love flows into your life effortlessly
- You welcome financial abundance without fear or guilt
- Relationships feel balanced—no more over-giving
- You feel deeply supported by the universe
Healing this energy centre is key to breaking patterns of overworking, struggling in relationships or feeling disconnected from abundance.
How to Open Your Back Heart Chakra & Receive More Abundance
If you’re ready to stop blocking love and abundance, try these powerful practices:
1. Heart-Opening Breathwork
Breathe deeply while visualizing a warm, golden light entering the back of your heart. With each inhale, imagine receiving love and abundance. With each exhale, release old fears of unworthiness.
2. Yoga for the Back Heart Chakra
Yoga poses like Camel Pose, Cobra, and Fish Pose help physically open this energy center. These postures stretch the chest and upper back, releasing stored tension and inviting in flow.
3. Affirmations for Receiving
Use affirmations to reprogram your subconscious:
- “I am open to receiving love and abundance.”
- “It is safe for me to be supported.”
- “I trust that everything I desire is flowing to me.”
4. Inner Work & Journaling
Ask yourself:
- Where do I resist receiving? Why?
- What fears do I have around receiving love or abundance? Why?
- How can I allow more support into my life?
5. Guided Meditation for Receiving
Meditation can rewire your energy field to accept more love and prosperity. Picture a soft pink or golden light entering the back of your heart, filling you with warmth, ease, and trust.
Final Thoughts: Allow Love & Abundance to Flow
Opening your back heart chakra is a powerful shift from resistance to receptivity. Instead of chasing love or abundance, you become a magnet for it.
By healing this part of your energy, you allow the universe to support you effortlessly. No more struggle—just flow.
