The Heart Chakra: Anahata
Many people expert to associate the heart chakra with the colour red. This is a common misconception. Whilst we grow up we draw hearts and usually colour them in red or pink tones. Anahata is associated with the colour green and is located at the heart.
When Anahata is blocked or restricted you may find healthy relationships becoming difficult or resistant. So, what are the signs of a blocked heart chakra? and how do you unblock them?
Imbalances in the heart chakra Anahata
“anahata” means unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten. It is our centre of love for oneself and others, compassion, empathy and forgiveness.
The anahata chakra is associated with unconditional love, compassion, and joy. It blesses us with profound truth and a sensation that we can only express with feelings. No words can speak the truth of Anahata.
Anahata is associated with the element air. As we breathe in love we fill up with love. We are the embodiment of this element that can only be felt.
When Anahata is imbalanced so is the love, compassion, and joy that is connected to you and the world around you.
The Heart Chakra is more than just love.
