Exploring Your Heart Chakra
The heart chakra, also known as the Anahata chakra or green chakra, is the energetic center for unconditional love, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. Balancing your heart chakra can help you radiate more love for yourself and others. When you work with this chakra, you can truly “follow your heart” and navigate the world with greater empathy, openness, and acceptance.
According to this metaphysical tradition, chakras are centers within the body that govern the flow of our prana (also known as life-force energy or chi). When this energy is imbalanced, it can disrupt our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Chakras maintain the correct balance and ensure that our energy flows correctly – not too much or too little. Even if you aren’t spiritual, chakras can be a useful metaphor to bring greater balance and tranquility to your life.
Although there are many chakras, most energetic healing practices focus on the primary system of seven chakras located along the spine. They begin at the tailbone and extend upward to the crown of the head. Each chakra is associated with specific emotions, personality traits, and physical conditions. They also have a specific color, scent, mantras or affirmations, and crystals associated with them.
As the name suggests, the heart chakra is located in the “heart space” in the center of your ribcage. It’s the fourth of the seven primary chakras and is sometimes called the green chakra due to its connection with the color green. In Sanskrit, it is called the Anahata chakra, which means “unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten.”
Love is the central force of this chakra. It is said to govern compassion for the self and others, as well as empathy, forgiveness, gratitude, appreciation, and fondness. When properly aligned, the heart chakra helps you love unconditionally, feel a stronger emotional connection to others, and create space for different perspectives without judgment. It can also help you develop deeper relationships with your loved ones.
