Anahata – The Fourth Chakra 

Anahata, the fourth chakra, located at the level of the heart and connected to the thymus, is the center of identity, of the courage to be oneself, of impersonal and unconditional love, of the sense of communion and of unity with all that surrounds us .

It is the center of the entire chakra system because it connects the three lower physical and emotional centers to the three higher mental and spiritual centers. All the other Chakras therefore depend on this, since the heart is considered the seat of the spirit and the center from which all human emotions are born, especially love. Its main functions are love, compassion, patience and humility. The associated keyword is I love. Both the air element and the sense of touch are connected to the fourth chakra, which reveals the sensitivity of the heart, the ability to establish relationships, its predisposition to emotion and its ability to resonate with everything.

From this chakra comes our ability to empathize, to sympathize with others, to tune in and to enter into communion with the cosmic vibrations.

Also through this energetic center, we can grasp the beauty of nature, as well as that sense of harmony that exists in music, visual arts and poetry. It is in the fourth chakra that images, sounds and words are transformed into feelings. The end of the fourth chakra is the attainment of perfect union through love. Every search for deep and intimate relationships, unity, harmony and love is expressed in the heart chakra, even when such feelings come to us in the form of suffering, pain, fear of detachment or loss of affection. The energy of the Heart Chakra is associated with the vibration of the green color, which symbolizes balance, compassion and harmony and transmits love for nature. It is the color that represents the union between terrestrial nature and celestial nature.
