The Heart Chakra is the fourth chakra. Energetically the heart chakra vibrates
to the color green. Some people do see the heart chakra as pink also.

SANSKRIT NAME: Anahata (unstruck)

LOCATION: The heart chakra is located in the middle of your chest between
your breast.

PHYSICALLY: This chakra governs your actual heart and your compassion for
others. The heart chakra also governs the lungs, immune system, thymes gland
and lymph glands. This is the center of how you connect with humanity. The
heart chakra activates during the ages 22 through 28. Whatever happens from
ages 22 to 28 years of age effects the heart chakra. If you have had some
trauma in that time period and find yourself to be unbalanced it is probable that
it is a heart chakra issue.

BALANCED ENERGY: A balanced heart chakra person will feel compassion
for others, people, animals, plants and humanity. A balanced heart chakra does
not mind having time alone and will wait for the right relationship to come to
them. They are not rushed into being in a relationship for the sake of doing so.
A balanced heart chakra person is outgoing empathetic and kind.

UNBALANCED ENERGY: An over active heart chakra person will be
excessive emotionally, one who uses the word love as a weapon, IE, "You don't
love me." or "You won't do this if you love me." an over active heart chakra
person can be manipulative, demanding, overly critical or melodramatic. An
under active heart chakra person may feel unloved, unworthy, not good enough,
feel sorry for themselves, terrified of rejection or afraid to let go and be free of
things/people that no longer serve their highest good.

GEMSTONES: Some gemstones for the heart chakra are, green aventurine,
rose quartz, green and pink jade, malachite, emerald, kunzite, rhodochrocite,
rhodonite.

HOW TO BALANCE: You can balance your heart chakra by listening to
soothing music or sounds. You can pamper yourself in some way like taking a
nice warm bath with bath salts. You can freely give yourself to others without
expecting something in return. You can give yourself or someone else a reiki
treatment.
