Essence
Opens the heart to optimistic abundance and releases the grip of old heartache. It works through the Heart chakra (Anahata), the seat of love, compassion, and the open exchange of relational connection. Under Venus (Shukra)'s influence, aligns the heart with optimistic receptivity to abundance, gently releasing old heartache that creates unconscious barriers to prosperity. Reach for it when navigating love, abundance, prosperity.
