(Part 4) Understanding the Power of Love, Compassion, Acceptance of Our Energy System
Feeling hatred, sadness, grief, jealousy? Anger issues? Your Heart Chakra may be asking for healing & harmony. The Heart Chakra (Anahat Chakra), Fourth chakra is the Center of Love, Compassion & Acceptance. In Sanskrit, “Anahat” means “unhurt, unstruck, unbeaten.” At the same time, Anahat means “pure” or “clean.”
Situated in the Centre of the chest, the Beej Mantra for Heart Chakra is ‘YAM’ & the associated sound frequency is 639 Hz. It acts as a bridge between the three lower chakras and three upper chakras. The Heart Chakra is associated with the primary emotions of unconditional love and attachment. It governs love, compassion, joy, inner peace, empathy, healing and forgiveness. It is represented by Green color, the color of nature, which represents growth, harmony, fertility, calmness and freshness.
The Air element represents love, openness, freedom, mobility, positivity and intellect. Positive affirmations like “I form deep, loving connections with ease” & “I allow my heart to lead with love” help us to form harmonious relations and make us feel loving & peaceful.
A balanced heart chakra makes us feel loving and peaceful, open to giving and receiving love and we develop deep connections with others. An imbalance or blockage can lead to grief, sadness, hatred, jealousy, anger, lack of empathy (unable to forgive), loneliness and a disconnect from others
