The Heart Chakra is the Chakra of Love, which Holds a Place for Peaceful Understanding
The fourth chakra of the seven chakras is Anahata, the Heart Chakra, which governs the pure synergistic aspects of love. Anahata, which is green in color, is at the center of the body between the sacrum and the color bones and is the center chakra of the chakra system. Being at the center of the system it is the fulcrum and equilibrium between the three lower chakras of our body and relationships (Earth), and the three upper chakras of our mind and higher consciousness (Heaven). Anahata, the consciousness of the heart, is the well-spring of spiritual or altruistic love. This degree of love is of a higher nature and is not influenced by fickle emotions, it is a mature love. The name Anahata which is Sanskrit, means the sound which is made without two things striking, or unstruck, and unhurt. Such is the love of Anahata, the heart chakra.
The pure and unadulterated innocent presence which is the driving purpose promoted by the balanced of energy from Anahata is equilibrium, equanimity, and equality with all things and all experiences in one’s life. It is to experience all things in balance, that is in being free of their dualistic nature. This vibrant and harmonious power brings all things into a state of synergy, through which is experienced inner peace. This peace is of the nature of love and is of the greatest of all loves, it is innocent, altruistic, and a source of healing. This love is born out of a deep and balanced understanding. An understanding which is created by the harmonious and energetic alignment of earth with heaven, which is the balance of the lower three chakras with the upper three chakras. It is the balance of the body with its emotional sense of personal power, with the conscious and unconscious states of mind. This love is peaceful as it is not disturbed easily, if at all, because its strength lies within itself without having any needs. This love is of giving not receiving. It doesn’t depend on external support. This synergistic spiritual love supports itself, and self-love is its support for giving. This is what makes it altruistic love.
Anahata, the Heart Chakra is of course the center of the chakra system, as is synergistic love the center of all things in the universe, and of consciousness itself. This love is the peace which is the foundation of unlimited understanding, and an opening to God consciousness. Altruistic love, synergistic love, joins all things together in a balance togetherness. It is this energetic and synergistic center which radiates love, compassion, self-responsibility, honesty, and forgiveness, initially and especially to one’s self. It is a balance which marries you (ego) with self (one’s divinity). To maintain this balance, a healthy flow of conscious energy must flow through this center from the lower three chakras in tandem with the upper three chakras. This will ultimately support the wholeness of a balanced homeostasis sharing of energies within and through all the chakras of the chakra system and provide a loving and peaceful state of wellbeing.
