The fourth energy center is the Heart Chakra (Anahata, in Sanskrit) and is located at the center of the chest. It is represented by the color green. It is is associated with love and understanding, limitless compassion and empathy and forgiveness.
This chakra rules the heart, circulatory and respiratory systems, plus a person’s arms, shoulders, hands, diaphragm, ribs/breasts and thymus gland.
The Heart Chakra is the center from which feelings of love emanate. It is also associated with other virtuous emotions, such as joy, happiness, honesty, respect, compassion, understanding, and generosity, and with loving oneself in a sincere, non-egotistic way. Learning to love yourself is a powerful first step in securing a healthy heart chakra. Being open hearted is key for achieving excellence in living.
The 12-petaled lotus symbol of the heart chakra contains within it two intersecting triangles forming a six-pointed star. These triangles represent the force of matter moving upward toward liberation and the force of spirit moving into manifestation. It is at this chakra that they are evenly combined, creating a center of peace and balance.
This heart chakra meditation is a simple technique to release sadness and fear and to bring compassion and love into your life.
Here's how to heal this chakra and balance it:
Wear the color green when trying to balance this energy center.
Now, In a quiet location sitting in an upright position imagine a green ball of energy coming out from the middle of your chest radiating out into the world; giving as well as receiving love and good will.
The heart is the most powerful energy center. Let it heal you instead of you having to heal a broken heart. Give your heart to yourself. If you believe that you have been hurt, you will need to heal this energy center and forgive, you may even need to go back to your childhood.
So, close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax, go back to a time when you have been really hurt. Try connecting to that energy within you. Ask yourself what are your fears and anxieties? Talk to your inner self and ask questions about anger, jealousy, fear, procrastination, control, or insecurity. Then allow yourself to let go of the hurt, imagine giving your heart to a higher power who will heal it and protect it and know that you are loved just the way you are. And if negative feelings come up, feel them; acknowledge them, if you feel like you want to cry then cry. Let go of the pain and the hurt inside you. Remember that you are loved and there is no need to feel emotional chaos anymore.
Here are some affirmations to say while your connecting to this energy:
I am expressing my true heart , my heart is healed, my heart is opened, I am kind, I am loving, I am free to express my love , I am giving myself love, I am God's expression of love on earth, my heart is healing me, I am open, I give my heart and love freely, I am a heart felt loving being, my heart is powerful.
Imagine the flower bud of your heart opening and know that it can't be closed. Its big and open. Take a deep breath in; breathing in the positive, exhale out all the negative energy.
