The Heart Chakra, also referred to in Sanskrit as “Anahata,” translates to “unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten.” This chakra correlates with, yep, you guessed it, the heart! But not only that, it also directly affects the circulatory system, lungs, arms, and hands. It’s aura emanates a radiant green energy, representing transformation and the energy of love. You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “follow your heart,” and this is because the heart chakra is the place where your true intelligence can be found. Your heart is the center of your soul’s consciousness, so to listen to, nourish and answer the call of your heart is crucial to living your best life.
When the heart chakra is out of balance, you might feel isolated and lonely, be experiencing high or low blood pressure, or a lung condition such as bronchitis. You may be putting yourself in a rescuer role, or have feelings of jealousy and defensiveness.
When this chakra is in balance, you feel surrounded by love, compassion, and joy. From a healthy and balanced heart chakra you will be connected to the world around you, seeing the beauty of life, and relationships will flow with ease. Your self-love will be recognized and you will be able to accept yourself and those around you.
