4th The heart chakra

4^th Heart Chakra - Anahata  Chakra

 

 The heart chakra - the wellspring of love, warmth, compassion, and joy is located in the center of the chest at the heart level.

Anahata moves love through your life.

It is the center of your deep bonds with other beings, your sense of caring and compassion, your feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness, and respect.

Anahata is an integrating and unifying chakra - bringing to wholeness - as such, it is your healing center. Indeed, most spiritual traditions recognize love as the ultimate healing force.

The energy of anahata allows us to recognize that we are part of something larger, that we are interconnected within an intricate web of relationships extending through life and the universe.
Anahata allows us to recognize and get in touch with the sacred and fundamental truth that runs through all of life and connects everything together.

The "way of the heart" or the "path of the heart" is living your life from this energy center of love.

Give Love to Receive Love

The best way to receive love is to give it. Author and motivational speaker, Leo Buscaglia, used to teach that we should give and receive 12 hugs a day for optimal health. So give hugs and kisses. Other ways you can give love:

• Smile at everyone you see daily, even if you don’t feel like smiling. It’s contagious.
• Forgive and move on. Life is too short to hold grudges.
• Give friends, family and co-workers positive affirmations and feedback.
• Try to go one day a week without criticizing anyone or anything, including yourself.

Take any opportunity you can to foster love and loving feelings. Love is a currency and whatever you give will come back to you.

Your fourth chakra is located at your heart and rules love and relationships. Its color is green, so green vegetables, especially leafy and cruciferous ones like kale, lettuces, spinach, chard, bok choy, collard greens, broccoli, etc., really ramp up the energy of this chakra and help to heal it. The fourth chakra is also about balance, and green veggies are neither yin nor yang in Chinese medicine, so they maintain the equilibrium that is essential to the health of this chakra. Try adding kale or spinach to your morning smoothie, or include a small salad with every meal.

When we are stressed, tense, unhappy, sad and depressed our face reflects that as does our posture – shoulders raised and tense, back bent forward, chest lowered almost protecting the heart…but from what? Aren’t we just hiding it? When we are positive, our shoulders are relaxed and lowered, the back is straight and head held high, breathing is deeper and the chest is puffed out…the chest is expanded and heart is facing outwards…you are essentially showing people your heart! What is the reflection like when we look in the mirror in each of these cases and which person would like to see looking back at you??? Somehow, as our heart changes, so does our appearance, so does our psyche, our energy, and the very essence of our being…what would happen if we did more of what our heart desired?

How do we rekindle some of that positive power, positive emotion and good feelings that make us want to stick out our chest and show the world our heart?

If we can stop the internal chatter, the negative ideas and impressions of the self and the world around us, we can start to come into the present moment of stillness and tune into the heart. Essential oils can help us to slow down, come into the present moment, start the process of inviting in more positive emotions, thoughts and feelings. Essential oils also start the connection process by helping us to tap into and focus on the heart, as long as we use the right oils and have the right focused intention. Then all we need is a simple ritual / ceremony as a focus ground to enhance the connection and build the relationship.

"Bergamot is uplifting, and lifts the spirits".  Rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) – is a heart and cardiac tonic that has a strengthening effect on the organ and the functioning of the system as a whole. It is a strong smelling essential oil that balances the central nervous system, stimulates the mind and awakens the senses. An amazing oil to use to penetrate and break through negativity because of its sharp aroma that acts like a hot knife through butter. It encourages positive emotion and all out action and as an invigorating essential oil promotes positivity and potential. A really positive oil all about positive energy and action.
