Anahata Chakra, is the heart center in Hinduism and Buddhism. The heart chakra is the 4th chakra, located in the center of your chest. It represents the ability to love, self-love and governs our relationships. The universal sound of the heart chakra is "yaam." This chakra vibrates with the air element. Air disperses and integrates spiritual understanding of love, compassion, and connection to everything you encounter. Air, like love, is within and all around us. We can embody this element by keeping our heart center open and our love free-flowing.

An imbalanced heart chakra presents as depression, difficulty in relationships and lack of self-discipline. Physical manifestations include heart or lung problems, asthma, allergies and fear of intimacy. Foods that may assist the power of this chakra are broccoli, lettuce, essentially anything green as it is the most bountiful color in nature. Is it any wonder why? Stones that may amplify the power of this chakra are malachite, emerald and pink (love) quartz.

As previously discussed, the purpose of a mantra is to empower. On Friday, the day of Venus in astrology and, Anahata energy let’s see what we can do to heal your heart chakra.
