Heart Chakra (Anahata)
The heart chakra is located in the chest and is developed between the ages of 4-7 years. When the heart chakra is opened it holds the energy of Peace, Compassion, Unconditional Love, Honesty and Harmony. These energies cannot be fully felt, understood and integrated until the lower and higher chakras are cleared, balanced and activated. The heart chakra is the place of balance between our lower, masculine, dark (human ego) and our higher, feminine, light (God) selves. Our heart chakra is the entryway to our soul and it cannot be fully opened until we integrate the light and dark within us.
We each need to accept and understand our dualistic / human / egoic / divine natures in order to reach a place of non-duality and transformation. It is in our heart chakra where we learn to embrace and love our vulnerabilities, darkness, limitations, hurt and pain so we can transcend the smallness of our human ego and grow towards something greater and more expansive.
Our heart is our center, our essence, our spiritual core. Once the heart chakra is fully activated, it will awaken our soul consciousness and the higher chakras bringing our Spirit down into our physical being. Our heart and soul is the bridge to the God Mind where we end duality of matter and Spirit unifying ourselves into a place of connection, wholeness and inner peace. When the heart is fully opened we remember our divinity and allow the love of creation to flow through us. We remember that we are God in human form and this recognition of the self also helps us to recognize the divinity in everyone and everything else. In this state, we recognize the interconnectedness in everything!
The heart chakra is the integration point between the upper (light) and lower (dark) chakras; it is the center of our human cross or physical body.
Every time we block a chakra we crucify ourselves, keeping us from fully accessing our highest soul’s potential and union with our God self. Because all humans have experienced many lifetimes where love has been withheld, we have an epidemic of wounded hearts that need to be healed. Because of this, we have created energetic shields over our hearts to protect ourselves. We shut down our emotional bodies disconnecting us from our heart centered consciousness and intuition allowing our egoic minds to take over. We closed our hearts and blocked the continuous flow of love from the ecstatic presence of our God Self.
Until the heart chakra is fully opened we will not be able to flow divine energy into our high heart or thymus gland where our divine spark is ignited and our Christ Consciousness is expanded. The “Return of Christ” is the activation of each individuals Christ Consciousness which activates our Christed Luminous Light Body. When this occurs to every person on the planet we will literally create Heaven here on Earth. We are all Christed, regardless of what religion, or lack of religion we choose to follow.
It is our divine birthright and we all carry the Christ Seed within our being. Once our lower and higher chakras are cleared our divine heart will be activated releasing the need to crucify ourselves or another and we will no longer need to carry the burden of our human egoic cross that creates suffering.

Many of us have endured difficult soul lessons in this lifetime due to our soul’s desire to clear and heal its residual karma and distorted energy from all previous lifetimes. Because of this, many of us have experienced great pain and disharmony. Once we understand that pain can be used as a catalyst for transformation and every experience that has ever happened to us was created by us for greater soul growth, then we can fully step into a place of complete surrender, acceptance and forgiveness. When we allow our hearts to fully open we create a bridge between our lower chakras and our higher chakras fully stepping into our power becoming heart centered conscious creators of our circumstances. We will no longer need to suffer the consequences of our unconscious creations. Once the heart chakra is cleared and opened, divine energy will continue to move up into the fifth chakra called the Throat Chakra.

If your heart center is closed, you are likely to feel lonely, angry and consider other people as separate from you. Your life is probably full of suffering, failure to understand others and insensitivity.
You will easily understand the pain and joy of other people – you will feel it in your heart. Furthermore, you will know whether people lie or are honest with you. You will also become a more caring, joyous and appreciative individual.
1.You are desperate for people to love you, therefore you engage in activities that might not be beneficial for you but would please others;
2.You are in a relationship where you give all and your partner does not appreciate what you do and doesn’t give anything in return;
3.You cannot say “no” to people.
To balance an over-active heart chakra you should stay in silence and meditate on your heart center. However, don’t try to infuse your heart with a green light as it may make you too emotional. Simply meditate whilst focusing on your heart. Also, stay in silence without any thoughts for 10-30 minutes every day. Being in nature will also help you correct any imbalances in your heart center.
Incorporating a short meditation session into your daily life can have a positive effect on the physical and emotional well-being of your heart.

The stages of the fourth (heart) chakra opening
Closed
If you don’t have any feelings or thoughts associated with your heart, it means your heart center is closed. In other words, when you hear something about heart or love, you feel completely neutral about it – like love or anything to do with heart are separate things from who you are.If your heart center is closed, you are likely to feel lonely, angry and consider other people as separate from you. Your life is probably full of suffering, failure to understand others and insensitivity.
Blocked
If you love some people and hate others, or your love is selfish, then you have blockages in your heart chakra. Conditional love also shows a blocked area of the heart. Emotional ups and downs are too associated with a blocked heart center.Balanced
When your heart center is properly balanced, you will feel at ease with yourself and with other people. You will understand others and accept them for who they are. You will also fully accept yourself and appreciate who you are.You will easily understand the pain and joy of other people – you will feel it in your heart. Furthermore, you will know whether people lie or are honest with you. You will also become a more caring, joyous and appreciative individual.
Over-active heart center
Some people suffer from over-active heart center. The symptoms of over-activity are these:1.You are desperate for people to love you, therefore you engage in activities that might not be beneficial for you but would please others;
2.You are in a relationship where you give all and your partner does not appreciate what you do and doesn’t give anything in return;
3.You cannot say “no” to people.
To balance an over-active heart chakra you should stay in silence and meditate on your heart center. However, don’t try to infuse your heart with a green light as it may make you too emotional. Simply meditate whilst focusing on your heart. Also, stay in silence without any thoughts for 10-30 minutes every day. Being in nature will also help you correct any imbalances in your heart center.
Heart chakra meditation: How to meditate from your heart
- Begin your session by sitting comfortably.
- Bring your attention to your body, relaxing and releasing muscle tension.
- Focus on your breathing and let go of the stresses and noise around you.
- Next, gently rub your palms together to warm and energize them.
- Then, place your right palm on your chest over your heart, and put your left hand on top of the right.
- With your eyes closed, imagine your heart, the center of your body, glowing with radiant energy. Feel the center of your chest warm, glowing, radiant, and full of energy.
- Imagine how that energy radiates out to the rest of your body, and stay with that image for a short while.
- Once you’ve become one with that energy, send it into areas of your body or mind where there is pain and out through your palms to loved ones or to the world around you. Stay with that feeling for a while.
- Then, begin to draw your attention back to your heart, back to your breath and slowly end your meditation session.
Incorporating a short meditation session into your daily life can have a positive effect on the physical and emotional well-being of your heart.
