4th Chakra :: ANAHATA :: Open Yourself to Love

October 30, 2015 1 min read

The fourth chakra, Anahata, also known as the heart chakra, translates to “unhurt” or “unstuck”. The name implies that beneath the hurts and grievances of past experiences lies a pure and spiritual place where no hurt exists.

When your heart chakra is open, you are flowing with love and compassion, you forgive quickly, and you accept others and yourself. A closed heart chakra can give way to grief, anger, jealousy, fear of betrayal, and hatred towards yourself and others.

GIVE LOVE TO RECEIVE LOVE
