THE FOURTH or heart CHAKRA - ANAHATA
Its colour is green. and it is located within your heart. It is the center of love, compassion, harmony and peace. The center of real, unconditional affection, spiritual growth, compassion, devotion and love. It is the bridge connecting the lower and higher energies of our being and is the place where resides our Spirit, our true Self, free and independent. This chakra is associated with your lungs, heart, arms, hands and thymus gland. You fall in love through your heart chakra, then that feeling of unconditional love moves to the emotional centre commonly known as the solar plexus. After that, it moves into the sacral or base chakra, where strong feelings of attraction can be released. When these energies move into the base chakra you may have the desire to marry and settle down.
"The three first centers reflect our animal nature and are based on polarity, opposites, competitions and lack, the fourth center begins our journey to our divine nature. It is from within this heart center that we change our mind and energy from living in selfish state to living in selfless states, and then we feel less affected by separation or duality and are more prone to make choices for the greatest good of everyone." Heart Intelligence - Dr. Joe Dispenza
We move from the solar plexus and the love for power and into the heart and the power of love.

This chakra represents your capacity to “Let go and Let God”. You accept here your personal emotional challenges as an extension of a divine plan. By releasing emotional pain, by letting go of your need to know why things have happened as they have, you reach a state of tranquility. To achieve inner peace, you have to embrace forgiveness and release the need for human justice.
LOVE IS DIVINE POWER: Love in its purest form – unconditional love – is the substance of the divine, with its endless capacity to forgive us and respond to our prayers. Our hearts are designed to express beauty, compassion, forgiveness and love. It is against our spiritual nature to not act in alignment with these principles.
When your fourth chakra is balanced:
You tap into the power of love and
Have the ability to heal oneself and others
You have the ability to follow your heart and
Learn that forgiveness liberates you
You experience empathy and
You are kind
You are able to experience self-nourishment and
Unconditional love
You are aware of karma
You know that love is divine
