The centre of love, compassion and emotional balance

The heart chakra, called in Sanskrit Anahata, is located at the centre of the chest and is the bridge between the lower chakras (more material) and the higher ones (spiritual). This energy centre governs emotions, unconditional love, empathy and the ability to give and receive affection.

When Anahata is balanced, we feel open, serene and loving, both toward ourselves and others. Conversely, a blocked heart chakra can manifest as emotional closure, difficulty in relationships and a sense of loneliness or emotional pain.
