Heart Chakra – Anahata – Air Chakra

What is the Anahata chakra ?

Heart Chakra, also known as the 4^th chakra or the Chakra, deals with the love and compassion. A lot of grief creates a heart chakra blockage.

The Anahata has an important role in our body, linking the earthly chakras (Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus) to the spiritual chakras (Throat, Third Eye, Sahasrara).

Where is the Anahata chakra ?

Location : In the center of the chakra system; in the center of the chest, between the breasts.

Heart chakra meaning

A balanced Anahata

Every chakra has the ability to be in balance, to be overactive or underactive, depending on the way the energy flows through the chakra.

A balanced Anahata make you feel a deep compassion for all living beings on Earth. Infinite Love is flowing through you.

You are kind and understanding. Unconditional Self Love is another sign of a balanced Anahata This great achievement gives you the opportunity to accept others for their True Self, and to love them accordingly.

You understand the nonsense of judging others. A functional Heart energy vortex helps you accept the fact that everyone has his own evolutionary rhythm. We are not supposed to push each other, but to support each other.

You feel comfortable so spend time alone, and you are able to avoid toxic people just for the sake of having company.

Overactive Anahata

Having an overactive Anahata , make you unable to control your emotions. No matter if we take into consideration the negative or the positive emotions, you are overwhelmed by them.

You may exaggerate in you critical and judgmental attitude on you and on others. Conditional Love is representative for an overactive Anahata.

Also, emotional dependency on partners, giving more than you receive, emotional and physically.

Underactive or Blocked heart chakra

On the other side, an underactive Anahata transforms you in a negative thinker. This negativity comes from the traumas we suffered in our childhood and adulthood. That baggage of sufferings make you feel unloved, unappreciated, unneeded.

But all this lack of self-esteem will only bring in your life, experiences to prove your beliefs. Considering the emotional field, you find it difficult to trust your partner, and you live like a cancer in his shell. You protect your hurt feelings with a high wall of uncertainties.

Physical symptoms

These behavior characteristics of an unbalanced Anahata are accompanied by some physical symptoms, as well. The most common “body signals” corresponding to this chakra are heart palpitations, pain located in the chest, blood circulation problems, high/low blood pressure, and even heart attack.

This strong negative effect of emotions on the Heart are strongly related with the electromagnetic field of the Heart.

Steps for healing the Anahata Chakra:

Accept and Love Yourself if You Want to receive Love

We must first love ourselves before offering others unconditional love. Accept your past. Accept that in every experience you`ve been through, there is a lesson. Try to figure out what the lesson is.

When you start to think like this, you will be able to understand and to forgive you. But, you must also accept that we are constantly evolving beings. And that we may change our reactions according to the consciousness level we reached.

The others are our own reflection. Both with the parts we like and dislike. If we are love and compassion, that will be the Universe`s reflection in our Earthly life.

Reconnect to Nature and to Natural Air

Because the Air is the element of the Anahata , staying outside on a breezy day is an inspired choice. Feel the breeze upon your skin, allow your heart to feel the breathing!

Radiate Compassion

Release all your sadness and loss. Unconditional Love will make you capable of giving compassion. Both to you and to others. Compassion is the sign that your Anahata starts to heal.

Furthermore, we need to understand the energetic importance of this Chakra.

To conclude, this Air-dependent chakra has a very important role in translating information that flows from the “body chakras” (1^st ,2^nd ,3^rd ) to the “soul chakras” “5^th, 6^th, 7^th ”.

Also, the Anahata works like a frequencies translator for the body.
