Fourth Chakra – Heart Chakra

Sanskrit Name for the Heart Chakra is Anahata

The Heart Chakra Color is Emerald Green

The fourth chakra instills the knowledge that the most powerful energy on earth is love. It is the operating system of the entire subtle body. It is the bridge that connects the fifth, sixth, and seventh chakras that are associated with intuition, spirituality, and consciousness. The heart is the mediator between body and spirit, directly determining their wellbeing. 

It grants us compassion, respect, affection, and the ability to forgive. It allows us to feel a child-like innocence and joy, and the ability to give unconditional love, and form strong, healthy relationships.

How an Unbalanced Heart Chakra Manifests in the Body

An unbalanced heart chakra can cause pneumonia, asthma, breast problems, respiratory problems, upper back pain, shoulder and upper arm pain, and premature aging.

Signs of an Overactive Heart Chakra

Signs include codependency and poor boundaries. These people can be demanding, clingy, and overly sacrificing. They also tend to continually give to others, overexerting themselves with little regard for their wellbeing, and losing their sense of identity.

How to Balance the Heart Chakra

Close your eyes, turn your attention inwardly, away from ego, and envision a glowing, emerald green wheel or lotus flower spinning at the center of your chest. Imagine becoming one with the universe.  Chant “I am open to love” or “I am filled with love,” and call forth a green glowing light emanating from the center of your being. Imagine the emerald green spinning as a lotus flower growing larger. Chant the Bija mantra below.
