Anahata-The Heart Chakra

The  fourth chakra on our physical body is the Heart Chakra or Anahata. This chakra is represented by the color green and sometimes pink. The Heart chakra is located in the middle of the chest. Anahata can be used as a gateway into other dimensions once properly opened and functioned. The Sanskrit word Anahata actually means "unstuck" which I think fits the heart chakra perfectly, being as though you can travel interdimensionally with it's help. In this chakra we find love, happiness, kindness and peace. This chakra governs the circulatory system, the lungs, lymph, and immune system.

Balanced-A balanced heart chakra allows us to be empathetic. We have healthy, functioning relationships and romance. We contain a sincere care and compassion for nature and others. Creativity is allowed to flow through us freely. It should be noted that successful poets, artists or authors most likely had their heart chakra activated.

Unbalanced-One with a closed or unbalanced heart chakra can be an emotional wreck.We can stream from both extremes, from to domineering and demanding, to feel unworthy and not recognizing self worth. One could be lacking self love, fearing rejection and also have fears of letting people go. We can also become very vengeful and full of hate.


Rose Quartz is great for bringing this chakra back into balance. Malachite and Emerald are also good stones for the heart. Cat Pose & Fish Pose are good yoga poses for this chakra.

Svadhisthana(Sacral Chakra)

The 2nd Chakra in our physical body,located right below the navel, is the Sacral Chakra, or Svadhisthana. This chakra governs our inner creativity, passion and sexuality. It is represented by the color orange and relates to our sexual organs and hormones.

Balanced-With a balanced Sacral Chakra, we able to empathize with others.We feel with this energy center. We are re-aligned with self-acceptance, intimacy, and sexual drive/energy.

Unbalanced-When we have an unbalanced Sacral Chakra on our hands, we experience a decrease in sexual desire. We suffer from guilt, blame, and insecurity. We find it harder to express the creative side of our being.

Orange foods such as oranges, tangerines and carrots will help bring this energy wheel back into balance. Child's Pose and Triangle Twist aid in balance the energy at this center. Orange gemstones such as Amber or  Tiger's Eye are great to meditate with on this chakra. Also, wearing orange can bring balance.
