The Heart Chakra – the wellspring of love, warmth, compassion, and joy is located at the heart
centre. It is the centre of deep bonds with other beings, the sense of caring and compassion,
feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness and respect.

The energy of Anahata allows us to recognize that we are a part of something larger, that we are
interconnected within an intricate web of relationships extending through life and the universe.

The “way of the heart” or the “path of the heart” is living your life from this energy centre of love. It
means living your life with loving kindness and compassion towards others. It means that your heart
is open to others and you inspire kindness and compassion in others. You create a safe and
supportive environment.

When Anahata is open and energy is flowing freely, you are not only loving to others, you are also
loving to yourself. You know when to say no and when you need care and self-nurturing.

To open to love is to reach to the deepest places and connect with our true essence, our spirit and
our soul.

The colour of this chakra is green which is the energy of love and transformation. It allows us to
transform our ego and the needs of our lower chakras and open up to love. Green is the colour of
nature – soothing and calming.
