The Heart Chakra

Heart Chakra (Anahata)

The Heart Chakra influences our ability to love and the altruistic aspirations.

Location: At the center of the chest, just above the heart.

Emotional problems affecting the Heart Chakra: People who present an energetic disequilibrium in this chakra tend to be ruled by their emotions, but they also present a high tolerance to the point of neglecting themselves. Additionally, they accept every situation or behavior due to their lack of setting boundaries and self-identity.

Physical health problems affecting the Heart Chakra: On the other hand, the physical symptoms may include high blood pressure or heart palpitations.

Color: Green

Healing exercises: Bikram Yoga and socialization. The simple opening of our hearts to others is the best healing exercise to heal our Heart Chakra. In order to heal this chakra, it is important to ensure a good functioning of the other 6 chakras. Alternatively, meditation is the major treatment for Anahata. Preferably, meditation should take place in green spaces like parks as the color green is highly beneficial.

Healing foods: Foods colored in green (leafy vegetables, spinach), green tea.
