*** The Heart Chakra***
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The heart chakra, or Anahata in its original Sanskrit name, colors our life with compassion, love, and beauty. Driven by the principles of transformation and integration, the fourth energy center is said to bridge earthly and spiritual aspirations. Explore what makes the essence of this chakra and how to unravel its powerful energy to enrich your life.

First, we’re going to look at the heart chakra key attributes:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Location: In the center of the chest (the energy center is not located where our actual heart organ lies; rather, the heart chakra is in the center of the chest area); it is the 4th chakra counting from the bottom of the spine in the traditional 7 chakra system
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Color: Green (higher energy frequencies can turn to pink)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Symbol: Two intersecting triangles forming a 6-pointed star in a circle with 12 petals
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This chakra is the center of child-like innocence and joy. When we were children, we used to react to circumstances with a variety of emotions: confidence, compassion, love, hope, despair and fear. But as adults, generating emotions and being allowed to express them is extremely challenging. The Anahata evokes our capacity to love and let go; to accept our emotional challenges and surrender to a divine plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is said that subtle (emotional) energies flow through our veins. Therefore, if you allow hurt and bitterness to overpower you, these negative emotional energies circulate through your body and as a result, can damage the entire body and spirit. But if you can forgive and let go, allowing all things loving to be recorded in every breath and every cell, then you will live with a happy heart.
