Are we avoiding the dark emotions of the heart? Pt 2 The Chakra Perspective

In the first post in this series I suggested that we (as Kinesiologists) have been avoiding the dark emotions of the heart, that we have been 'watering down' the more detrimental energies of the heart meridian. Replacing them instead with less substantial emotional ideas or simply suggesting that the negative emotions are simply 'lack of' concepts such as joylessness. This second post will continue that theme by looking at the heart from the perspective of Chakra energy which is also used a concept a great deal in kinesiology, but has suffered the same fate.

Is there a silently agreed upon, cultural denial of the true nature of our hearts when they become pathological or reactive?
