4th chakra



Heart Chakra 
The Heart chakra is also known as Anahata which means “unhurt, un-struck and unbeaten”. This chakra is located in the center of the chest. The energy focused in this chakra is Love, compassion, universal consciousness, emotional balance. The Heart chakra colors are pink and green. 9The lack of a balanced chakra can be difficult relationships, living through others, depending on others for your happiness and a lack of self discipline. Warning signs your heart chakra is out of balance:
  • selfishness
  • not easily forgiving 
  • self centered
  • hate
  • fear
  • envy
  • anger
  • despair
So the 4th chakra, the heart chakra, is pretty self explanatory. Anything that has to do with the emotions of the heart, opening up, accepting change, forgiving even the most unforgivable. Lets be honest, who knew that yoga, meditation and changing the way we eat can affect our lives all around? But isn’t it true? Doctors advise to exercise and relax (or meditate), and eat right. Maybe the answer truly is balancing your chakras. Once you understand what the chakras are and what they do for you, your life will gradually begin to change. This does not mean it will get easier, but this does give you at least the chance to deal with difficult situations and any situation really that will help make life much more worth living.
Affirmations of Anahata:
·      “ ALL LOVE RESIDES WITHIN MY HEART”
·      “I AM QUIT AND LISTEN TO MY HEARTS SONG”
·      “I ANCHOR MY HEART IN TRUTH, LOVE AND GOD’S GRACE.”
·      “LOVE OPENS AND HEALS ME”
·      “JOY IS MY REASON FOR LIVING”
·      “I DELIGHT IN SHARING MY JOY”

Note: if you have “no time for meditation” you can simply recite these affirmations to yourself in the morning before getting up and at night before going to sleep.

The Solar Plexus other wise known as Manipura which means "Lustrous Gem", is located below the breast bone. Its energy focuses on Intellect, ambition, personal power, protective, Manipura is a source of personal power, self-esteem, warrior energy and the power of transformation. Warning signs of an out of balanced solar plexus are the following:

  • competitiveness
  • laziness
  • overeating and overindulging 
  • poor self image
  • low body weight and poor appetite
  • inability to focus and lack of organizations
  • controlling and/or intolerable behavior

 These misconduct are common but very unpleasant, yet in my opinion (as a non expert) if yoga and meditation and healthy eating can fix this, then by all means HEAL MY CHAKRAS! while balancing some your solar plexus in meditation, you may also recite affirmations. Examples of these affirmations are the following:
"I naturally trust my own guidance"
"I respect and love myself deeply"
"I am excited to be on my path"
"I am sure of myself and my direction"
"I believe in my own personal power"
