The Sanskrit name for the heart chakra is Anahata which means “unstruck”, “unbeaten” or “unhurt”.

The heart chakra connects the first three (lower) chakras with the upper three chakras. The first three chakras (root, sacral and solar plexus) are mainly concerned with physical aspects of human life whereas the throat, third eye and crown chakras are of spiritual nature.

Anahata is located in the center of the chest. It is associated with the air element and the color green which represents love energy and transformation.

With its main mantra “I love”, the heart chakra is your center of love.

When your Anahata is balanced, you are able to love and to accept love. You are joyful, compassionate, and full of empathy. You feel surrounded by love.

When your heart chakra is blocked and out of balance you have problems loving (starting with yourself). You lack empathy and compassion. You find it difficult to forgive.

There are many methods to balance your heart chakra, working with crystals being one of them. The six crystals below can be of a great assistance in healing your Anahata.
