Heart center. A definite and indefinite heart center

Biological compliance- Heart, Stomach, Gallbladder, Thymus

Center Type- Motor.

Function- Ego, willpower, material world, self-esteem.

False Self Strategy:
He tries to improve himself in order to prove his worth to himself and others.

Definite:
Constant access to willpower, decent self-worth, a fixed way of dealing with deeds, deals, and promises.

Open:
Suffers from a lack of constant willpower, low self-esteem, difficulty asking the appropriate price for their achievements, inability to keep promises, the need to learn how to survive on a material level, loves to spend money.

Components:

1. Heart center is a powerful motor that drives willpower and ego power.

2. It has very important biological attributes.

3. The theme of the Heart Center is burning on the material plane.

4. A designated Heart Center must keep its promises for self-respect.

5. The Uncertain Heart Center should never make promises.

The heart center is the motor. This is where willpower and ego energy are. This center seems small. It has only four gates. Thematically, this center is connected with the material plane. It is the will to survive in a material sense in created communities. This center is associated with caring for their daily bread, about living in harmony with others, about establishing relationships with other people, about children, about creating a society and culture.

Biological connection

Despite its small size The heart center is very complex in its biological nature. At gate 40 is the stomach. If the stomach is full, the ego feels good, if the stomach is empty - this prompts the ego force in the 40 gates to find something to eat. At gate 26 is the thymus gland, which builds up our immune system. While the fetus is in the mother's womb, it is the thymus gland that builds the immune system. This is the only direct link between the ego and the immune system at the center of the Spleen.

In the first three years of life, the thymus gland lays down the way the human immune system works. The ego is our refuge from disease. It releases B cells that fight disease. Ego is a warrior. At 51 gates there is a gallbladder and at 21 - the heart muscle itself. Since all these organs of the body are located in this center, it becomes clear that it can be the source of many physical problems if a person is not familiar with the mechanics of his Heart Center:

Free will

Speaking about the Heart Center, we must make a distinction between will, as the energy that we draw from this center, and will as a philosophical concept. Will is a powerful energy emanating from the Heart Center, and free will is a myth. Human beings in their vanity they think they have free will. It doesn't exist because everything we think, say, or do originates in the mysterious gray matter of the brain half a second before we realize it in the cerebral cortex. This proves that free will does not exist and that we do not create anything, but only react. Free will implies that we are in control of our life process, which we really cannot do. A person comes to this world in order to manifest consciousness in form, but he cannot control anything.

The expression "free will" is contradictory in itself, because willpower is always directed towards the goal. Thus, it will never be free, it must be related to what you want to have or achieve.

Defined heart center

A person with a certain heart center always seems strong-willed and must make and keep promises. If this does not happen, others lose their confidence in him, so only those promises that can be kept should be made. Such a person should never be allowed to suppress their “I” - he has a sense of his own worth and self-respect. A person with a certain heart center should not allow anyone to influence his ego and willpower. He has a strong will, and suppressing it, he will hurt.

Uncertain heart center

In turn, a person with an indefinite heart center is always looking for this very willpower. “Why can't I get what they have? Why can't I be as successful, as prosperous as they are? " - these are the questions they ask themselves all their lives.

A person with an indefinite heart center should know that they cannot rely on their willpower, since it is not constant. If your heart center is not defined, and you want to conquer the world, first make sure that the person next to you has a certain ego - then you can achieve your goal. People with undefined center hearts should not feel that they are failures in this life because they cannot use their will when they want or when they need to.

People with an indefinite heart center always try to achieve more than others, because they do not understand their value. They have a tendency to underestimate themselves, they literally force themselves to be courageous by telling themselves "I can do this!" They get involved in impossible situations for themselves that are dangerous to their health, and constantly want to prove to themselves that they have willpower. When a person with an undefined heart center quits smoking, he literally goes crazy and thinks: "I must have the willpower to stop this!" But whether he can actually quit smoking depends on his conditioning.

A person with an undefined heart center should never make promises in his life. This is the most unhealthy thing that can happen in his life. Volitional determination in him is always conditioned by other people, so he can never trust his "I". Such people often have situations in which they accept advice from others like "If you want, you can." By taking this advice, they can become seriously ill, putting their heart at risk or developing stomach problems.

A person with an indefinite heart center should avoid situations where he needs to be strong-willed. When he makes promises, he literally destroys his heart. The reality is that courage and willpower for a person with an undefined heart center depends on the people around him. He is not genetically created to be strong-willed all the time, and his role is to come to an understanding of the potential of will power.

I sit studying my map and the map of my wife, and we see an amazing situation, I have a defined ego center on the rave map, she has an open one, but in life and in fact we have the opposite, it feels like I gave her my ego) How do we return everything into place?

it's a shame)

Old Man Hottabych lives a False Self with an open Ego, judging by the fact that he promises everything to everyone, and then suffers, but fulfills.
and in general, it seems that all genies are unhappy, living the False Self with an open Ego :( (

• Healing the heart. Mary Ann Winiger

  "About the undefined (open) Heart (Ego) center.

  I have an open heart center with no hanging gates. This openness is incredibly related to the pain inside me that I have felt for most of my life. But now, after my experiment began 14 years ago, this is no longer the case. I love mine open heart, there is no pain in it. And now, more than ever, I am deeply grateful to a certain heart center. When I hear the frequency of this center in the voice of a person whose center is defined, it tickles me from within. The energy and strength of this center goes straight to me. This is a delight. Willpower and ego power are incredible powers. Such power and control as that of a particular heart center cannot be seen anywhere else in the bodygraph. It's just an amazing center.

  People with a particular heart center seem to have a natural sense of their own worth. When they talk about themselves, you can hear that a sense of self-confidence comes directly from their heart center. I also noticed that when a person with a certain ego enters into a relationship with me in the wrong way, this is a strong enough experience for me. I feel like I'm being vigorously pushed and, at the same time, I want to shove them away the energy they pushed back into me. Usually I just watch it.

  It was very exciting for me to see how it works. It also became a working tool in my sessions with people. This understanding has allowed me to help people with a specific ego see the importance of being very careful in your interactions with others and making sure you start communicating in the correct way. Because no one encounters as much resistance as people with a certain ego, when no one has invited or asked them. It doesn't matter what the throat says - there is always the power of the ego behind it, and this is exactly what meets resistance and often comes back, leaving the ego at a loss, "What actually happened?"

  The heart center is such a power! I have never had such power and will never have. I used to be deeply intimidated by the power of this ego, but this is not the case now. I can now remain in my own authority. It changed everything. About 65% of the population, like me, have an open heart center. When I really started looking deep into this open center I found so much heartache. I realized that I had spent my entire life before meeting DC trying to improve myself in all relationships. I realized that I was trying to prove my dignity by offering myself, my help and all that. I did it to prove that I am a good daughter good mom, good sister, good wife, good lover, good friend... But at the heart of it all was the desire to prove that I was worthy of love. This created so much suffering and heartache in this open center. I even had physiological heart problems after 20 years.

  The world is ruled by self-improvement, willpower and competition. What a hopeless situation it was for me. I am not equipped to compete, my heart is open, and I could be lost forever on this journey of self-perfection. I have no willpower. I have energy - this is my sacred center, but it is not will. My mind kept telling me that I should be more successful, attractive, sophisticated, wealthy, sexy, intelligent.

  I remember, even when I was a small child, it seemed to me that if something happens to me (an accident, maybe even death), then the whole world will finally realize - how deeply they loved me and how now they don’t have me enough. And it was definitely this kind of pathetic threat tossed into the wind.
  All this is so childish as long as the mind deals with the open center of the ego and gives this feeling of unworthiness and the need for improvement. Even in adolescence all this is preserved. This all comes from doubts that I am worth something. It doesn't matter how often I was told that I was loved or how often I was praised.

  I realized that nothing that comes from outside can fill this emptiness in me. The question of one's own value, or lack thereof, can become a bottomless pit that cannot be exhausted. Any praise and words of love from others could only temporarily fill it, but they could never heal my open heart.

  Now, from my own experiment, I know that I am not here to prove something - neither to myself nor to anyone else. It's amazing to live like this. Now I am aware of this with every cell of my body. There is nothing in me that needs praise or recognition from others. It doesn't matter at all whether it comes or not. I know my own cost. I know my own beauty. I love me. What this openness should become is a beautiful openness that no longer creates suffering.

  The only way out of this open heart center trap was my strategy and authority, as well as being constantly aware of what my mind was telling me about me. There was something else that helped me, especially at the very beginning of my experiment - to listen to myself, listen to what I say myself. I used to try and do so that others hear me, understand what I want to say, I devoted it Special attention... After reading, I started listening to myself, and I was just shocked when I discovered in what subtle (almost imperceptible) way I, nevertheless, try to raise my dignity.

  For a person with an open heart center - the smallest deviation in his speech from trying to prove his own worth - this is what can be proof of how great he is.

  If you have an open heart center, there is something that can happen. And unlike a certain ego that can stand up for feeling dignity- an open center of the ego - how soap bubble... There is nothing to support and often these efforts become very destructive.

  Now I know, I deeply know that there is nothing that needs to be proved, for what to compete. All you need is to be yourself and relax in it. All I need is already in me and there is no lack of anything. As myself, I have become less and less concerned with what others say or think of me. And one day, the horror of the physiological pain of this center disappeared. My heart center was healed."

  

The heart center, or it is also called the ego center, is the center of materiality. The theme of the heart center is survival on the material plane. The potential of the Ego center is in its successful realization on the material plane. In spiritual practices, the heart center is responsible for achieving results.

The body has a natural inertia, and in order to rebuild something, to introduce some new quality or skill, you need the will and the ability to operate on the material plane.

The ego is one of the 4 motors of the body. Despite the fact that it looks small and has only four gates, it is quite complex in its biological nature.

Unlike other centers, in the Heart Center, each of the four gates has a specific biological connection with the following internal organs.

- Stomach... The name is the Gate of Solitude. Liberation.

KEY WORDS: Solving problems, untiing knots, releasing blocked energy; liberation, deliverance from suffering.

In a simple manifestation, if the stomach is full, then the Ego feels good, if empty, then willpower prompts something to eat. The saying that the fastest way to a person's heart is through his stomach characterizes this gate. Food is one of the interesting elements of our material world (the world of Reality or the Explicit World), with which we closely interact. By eating food, we are strongly grounded, we acquire the appropriate qualities. One of the manifestations of the False Self - the more food in the stomach, the more Ego - this leads to overweight... People who need to maintain a balance between work and play. These people are always chased for because of their ability to work hard in a community, family or business. It is believed to be the breadwinner hexagram. However, this gate is at the center of the Ego, in which the theme of relaxation has an important place. Therefore, these people need to let others know where their boundaries lie and what part of themselves they are ready to give, as well as what they want to receive in return. They can be steadfast, denying other people access to their willpower. The time spent alone is incredibly important to them. Gate 40 needs support (massage), understanding and loyalty from the 37's in order to work. If the terms of the deal are clear, Gate 37 will always provide space for 40's to be alone and relaxed, supporting them throughout the process.

- Heart... Names - Gates of the Hunter (Huntress), Gnawing.

Energy to get what we need and what we want.

KEY WORDS: Face a problem, overcome an obstacle; be persistent, get to the point.

This is the gate directly to the heart muscle. People with certainty at this gate are born to be in control, otherwise their heart will be unhealthy. They also have a talent for controlling their lives, especially with regard to money, food, territory, and lifestyle.

Owning this gate requires you to be in control of where you live, what you wear, and what you eat! People with certainty at a given gate can never afford to have a boss looking over their shoulder. In principle, it is difficult for such people to have a boss and work for hire. These people are best when they are in control. They don't like it when someone tells them what to do or how to do. Unless it is a Manifesto that must first inform, these people are unlikely to successfully take control unless they are first offered it. More often than not, they are trying to control situations without being asked to do so, which means they face tremendous resistance from those they are trying to control. Gate 21 needs patronage from the 45s. 45 represent the landowner, and 21 simply want to control the land itself (its use) without being held responsible for owning it. Without gate 45s, 21s are authority over others, but they lack the supervising presence (45) of a person who is not directly involved in managing people.

– Gall bladder ... The name is Shock Gate.

KEY WORDS: shock, necessary shake-up; excite, stir up, wake up; spring return of life and love.

People who have this gate identified tend to make shocking statements or actions. It can be easy, or it can be dramatic, but always the energy of this gate will try to shock others in order to connect with the higher. It is the folly and audacity of a fool to jump into the void. Unlike the other three gates of the heart center, these gates carry an individual type of energy. These people have an energy of competition, which can manifest itself as either risk-taking or fearlessness. They love to shock people with their love of going where others dare not go. They are always looking for gate 25, i.e. a sense of spirit or a sense of transcending one's own limits. These people bring feelings of unpredictability and excitement to life, and they have a special gift for empowering others. Shocking them, they push people out of their own narrow world to a broader vision.

- Thymus (thymus gland) ... The name is the Gate of Selfishness. Another name for this gate is "The taming power of the great."

KEY WORDS: Concentration of thought, concentration on a great idea; energy storage; bringing together, a time for great effort and achievement.

These gates are very important for development and biological survival. Through this gate, the Ego communicates with the center of the Spleen - channel 26-44. The thymus gland is responsible for the formation of the immune system. In 44 gates, B cells are released, and in 26 cells. These are killer cells, their task is to kill pathogenic microbes by devouring them. People with definiteness at these gates have an incredible ability to survive. The potential of a dealer or a seller lives in this gate. The energy of this gate gives rise to any manipulation of truth or falsehood. The potential of business as an entrepreneurial way of developing the material world lives in this center. Represented by the archetype of a trader, these people can take something that is raw potential and twirl it in their fingers to turn it into something interesting for the market. This is the gateway to the dodger, confident in his ability to turn any situation in his favor (sometimes they come across!) As the gateway of the Ego, these people naturally demand to be rewarded for their abilities. Like 54, they want to climb the hierarchy, but their ultimate goal is to reach a position where they don't need to work at all. Such people know how to find the shortest entrances and exits in most situations. However, without 44s, they have no understanding of people's skills. They may have both the presence of something and the ability to convey it, but without 44 gates, they do not know to whom, when and where.

Severe with an undefined heart center

Danika, everything can be easy if you learn how to use it correctly)

When people come to practice, many have a desire to work with such a curious thing as the heart center - fortunately, in kundalini yoga there is a huge number of kriyas and meditations dedicated to working with the heart. Because to live with a closed heart is to live in half. Nobody wants that.

At the same time, it is somehow overlooked that an open heart will not always experience joy, love, compassion and other socially approved and simply pleasant feelings. An open heart will experience everything that is born in it. Including: resentment, fear, anger, hatred, envy. A complete set of what the palette of our senses consists of. Live honestly, no fools. Nobody wants that either. Damn!

Often the hidden request of the client could be voiced like this: "Can I have an open heart, but at the same time I will feel only good, and also may I never, never be hurt?" And what can I say here? "No, you can't, until you brighten up"? No, you can't say that. It sounds kind of rude. Moreover, when I myself, coming to yoga, I had exactly the same hidden request: "May I feel only love, and may I never be hurt." This is an old request of mine, and that's why I am so overly responsive when I see it in others. Literally like a fox terrier on a rat.

How then to say?

"You know, if a person never hurts, then it is likely that he has already died?" Not good either. This is in me natural poisonousness speaks, but it will not help a person in any way.

So I keep my mouth shut and watch the process unfold. Taking out your knobby paws and holding them to yourself can be much more useful than trying to rush something with them. Moreover, the technology offered by Yogi Bhajan is clearly wiser than me. And soon enough letters start to arrive to me: “I wanted to yell at my husband, I was shaking with anger”, “I want to cry all the time”, “My colleagues at work infuriate me”, “I am sad all the time, I don’t understand why.” Because this is the life of the heart in this moment... Just from her long time turned away, pretending that nothing was happening. It is customary to extinguish negative feelings, to pretend that nothing of the kind is happening inside. We close our hearts because we are unable to survive resentment, betrayal, rejection, grief. This is called: "Pull yourself together." In fact - "I choose not to feel, I don't want to know anything about it." Not to know that between you and your husband, for example, a wall of misunderstanding is growing, and you do not know what to do with it. Or that you can't forgive your mom for how she mistreated you as a child. Or that you are incredibly pissed off by your teenage son.

And a heavy one falls on the heart stone plate to reliably bury what happens there. This is called living with a closed heart. First of all - from oneself.

Living with a closed heart is one of the manifestations of what in the philosophy of Hinduism is called "avidya", or "ignorance of one's true nature" - one of the main obstacles to liberation.

But the heart is an amazing thing. It is not an automaton that can be programmed according to the principle "this is what we feel, but this is never." Forgive the banality, but the person has no control over his feelings (he has control over his actions, but that's another matter).

When the heart closes, it closes, including for joy, and for love, and for flight. The colors of life become muted, and even in the midst of the general fun, you feel as though disconnected from it.

But the heart under the stove is still alive, and the feelings do not go anywhere. And when we shift the focus of attention to the heart center, it begins to unpack. And here all the terrible and difficult experiences that we tried to bury begin to creep out. At this point, the person usually says: "If you only knew how sausage me!" Sometimes he also says: "Return everything as it was, and go through the forest with your yoga."

And go and explain that it is - "as it was", just before it was not noticed. And, of course, you can continue to sweep the rubbish under the rug - but sooner or later the heap of rubbish under the carpet will become noticeable and will significantly poison your life. Therefore, it is better to move the rug and see what is there. This is also part of the process. Sit down and listen, peering into yourself. Taking what is. Including - your unpleasant and restless feelings, your imperfection and vulnerability.

And then the process of liberation begins.

With the acceptance that all this heaviness and blackness in me too - is.

It is not so easy.

Moreover, when yoga offers so many tools to become conscious, pure, wise, strong - and generally the most beautiful. But when we are honest with our hearts, it is impossible to maintain this high dream of ourselves. Because reality manifests itself too insistently. And thank God: reality is always better than fantasy. First, it's real. Secondly, it takes much less energy to see reality than it does to maintain a myth. Third, it engenders humility.

With who you are.

With what you feel.

And then work begins with what is. But first, this is "what is" must at least be seen. Then the avidya becomes a little less, and the light a little more. And that is the first step: keep focus on what is and let the practice guide you further.

Ekaterina Antropova - Kundalini Yoga teacher and body-oriented psychologist:

Chakras are plexuses of channels on the human energy body, around which swirls occur vitality... This concept is many years old, it came to us from yoga, but one way or another, similar knowledge is contained in every spiritual teaching. Through understanding the chakra system, one can realize the deep processes that drive people and solve a lot of personal problems. There are 7 main energy centers in humans. They are also stages of human development from the animal nature to the immeasurable peaks of spiritual enlightenment. A very important center, anahata, is located between the animals and the spiritual chakras.

Heart chakra

Anahata is located in the center of the chest, near the heart. Its color is green, and its element is air. The heart center has 12 petals, which means 12 streams through which energy flows into it.

They are designated by the following letters: Kam, Kham, Gam, Gham, Nam, Cham, Cham, Jam, Jham, Jnam, Tam, Tham. In the middle of it there are two crossed triangles.

The upward triangle symbolizes spiritual path development or masculine principle (Shiva), and a triangle with an apex that is directed downward is the path of material decline or inner strength and feminine(Shakti).

Crystals such as aventurine and rose quartz correspond to this chakra.

This chakra is responsible for feelings such as compassion, nobility, and the ability to love. Do not confuse love emanating from anahata with what is commonly called this word today. Now this is what they call sex drive, selfish possession and mutually beneficial cooperation. Modern "love" is built on the desire to get something or possess someone (get acquainted with).

The heart center contains an all-encompassing and unselfish love that does not require anything in return. This is where the true begins spiritual development... For a successful yoga practice, a person must be at the level of anahata, since going lower can seriously harm his practice.

Physical manifestations

The thymus gland is located at the location of the anahata. It has been proven that it actively works in childhood, but, as it grows, it begins to decrease and loses its functions. In the first years of life, this gland affects the child's immune system, protects him from diseases, helps to grow strong and healthy. If this part of the endocrine system does not work well, then the baby will have poor health, colds will become his constant companions.

If a person has an undeveloped heart center, then he will often experience envy, jealousy, irritability. This leads to quite tangible health consequences. The cardiovascular system does not like negative experiences and suffers from them in the first place. A severe imbalance can cause myocardial infarction.

Yoga claims that the heart chakra is associated with the air element. And these words find their confirmation in human physiology. Negative experiences make breathing shallow and fast. It is unhealthy and leaves the mind in the same superficial and agitated state. Both the lack of love and its excess can lead to negative consequences. If the parents love the child too much and pamper him in every possible way, then he will probably have problems with the 4 chakra.

Signs of a healthy anahata

A person with a developed heart center is easy to recognize. He is calm and balanced, being next to him, those around him feel peace and tranquility. The harmony that is present in this subject is transmitted to others, which makes him a magnet for people. The opening of the heart center can occur both spontaneously, as a result of a pure life filled with love and compassion, and as a result of meditation or raising the power of kundalini. In any case, a person who has felt the love hidden in the anahata will never be content with that fake, which is now commonly called this beautiful word.

It is very rare to meet a person with a developed heart center. But meeting with him will bring a piece of love and harmony into everyone's life. Even the most rude and cruel people soften in the presence of someone who has developed their heart chakra. Such a person perfectly understands others, sometimes even better than themselves. Therefore, his advice is invaluable and can change someone's life forever. The emotional background also changes under the influence of a healthy heart center. Negative emotions and destructive feelings go away, making room for calm self-confidence.

Imbalance in the heart center

If there are blocks in the anahata or it does not work correctly, then this will affect the whole life of a person. In some cases, he can give love to family and friends (see the energy of love meditation), but is not able to receive it. The poor guy begins to become cold and irritable, he feels cheated. Those who have a poorly developed heart center cannot just love without expecting anything in return. As a result, only disappointment and anger awaits them. The desire to receive any payment for your love generates only suffering and emptiness. Yoga classes can help in opening this important center, give a feeling of pure and selfless love for all that exists.

How is it that such an important chakra is blocked? Most often this happens in adolescence, when the child ceases to feel the love of his parents and begins to hide his feelings, or even completely abandon them. Over time, insensitivity will only progress, making a person callous and selfish. His affection will be a heavy burden, constant outbursts of jealousy and rudeness will be an obstacle to building a happy family.

How to develop anahata

The heart center can develop both spontaneously and as a result of purposeful yoga practice. For example, the power of kundalini can help development. She slumbers at the base of her spine, waiting in the wings. Chakras are steps on the path of kundalini, reflecting the level of development of the practitioner. This amazing power allows a person to reach their full potential, to become a completely new creature. If the kundalini rises to the heart, then boundless love will come out. She is a sign correct setting anahata, but this state is unlikely to last long. Over time, if you continue to practice yoga, then the heart chakra will become stronger, opening the way for further growth.

Not only ancient spiritual practices can properly tune the heart chakra. Sometimes there are people who have never heard of either yoga or the power of kundalini, but have an open heart and give those around them selfless love, bring peace of mind to their chaotic world. Often these are pious people leading a pure life - monks, volunteers helping the disadvantaged, talented doctors who have dedicated their lives to saving people. Yoga practice can make this process more conscious and manageable. But practices such as raising the power of the kundalini should only be done under the guidance of an experienced guru who will help you cope with this incredible process.

Anahata - the next stage of evolution

Today, the society cultivates the qualities inherent in the lower chakras. Primary importance is attached to gross animal instincts. They are elevated to the rank of sacred action, and any alternatives are ridiculed and vulgarized. In this case, the power of the kundalini will remain in a dormant state, and people will live empty lives, devoid of love and happiness. Fortunately, in last years more and more people are interested in the spiritual world, rejecting the harsh materialism that is so fashionable today. Yoga is becoming more and more popular, people began to look for happiness in themselves, and not in money and beautiful trinkets. This gives hope for a happy future. The more people awaken their anahata, the more more love and kindness will be on our planet, tormented by conflicts and hatred. When the kundalini reaches the heart chakra, boundless love comes into a person's life. Showing kindness and compassion is the next step in the development of our civilization. Everyone can contribute to this wonderful process by embodying these high feelings.

Knowledge about chakras like energy centers on the human body, appeared in India. There are 7 chakras in total, although today there are alternative theories stating that there are much more energy centers on the human body.

Anahata provides a person's ability to perceive the beauty of the world and nature, music, poetry and other types of art, and thanks to this chakra, a person can perceive people not only in appearance, but also in the beauty of the soul.

How a healthy chakra works

If a person has a well-developed heart chakra, then, as a rule, outwardly this is a rather joyful, positive person.

Anahata and condition physical body interrelated and affect each other. So at the physical level, the chakra of the heart is reflected in the work of cardio-vascular system, existing diseases in this area will tell if there are problems in the anahata. In addition, anahata controls the lungs, is responsible for the condition of the human skin, the immune system and the upper back. Feelings such as continued grief, depression, irritability and resentment negatively affect the heart chakra, manifested by diseases such as angina pectoris, hypertension, asthma.

A healthy heart chakra characterizes a person with a pure, noble heart, capable of loving and being faithful to one single person. Such people are capable of permanent, deep relationships with the opposite sex, they are also good family men and wonderful parents. People who do not have problems in the heart chakra are the soul of the company, people are drawn to them, trusting their troubles and joys, because they are capable of sincere help and joy for others, without feeling envy or pity (as the worst manifestations of personality).

The concept of the subtle mental body, which is responsible for thoughts, emotions and knowledge of a person, is closely related to the 4th chakra. Those people who are at the level of a developed heart chakra also have an integral spiritual (mental body). By the way, many live at the level of instincts, for which the first 2 chakras are responsible and, unfortunately, spiritual transformation is not yet available to them.

Anahata and hormones

The work of the human endocrine system is also influenced by the heart chakra. The thymus gland, which, according to esotericists, is the physical embodiment of anahata due to its location, affects the state of the human immune system. It is characteristic that in newborns and young children this gland is quite large, because babies are most susceptible to various kinds of infections. By adolescence, this gland decreases, and in an adult, other organs are already responsible for the state of immunity, so the action of the thymus gland on the body ceases. The influence of the love chakra on this human organ is also manifested in the fact that if a child grows up in an atmosphere of love and acceptance, if he does not have congenital problems with the heart chakra, then he is less likely to get sick, less susceptible to infections.

In addition, there is a version that children are born with a perfectly working, healthy and open anahata, but in the process of growing up, due to the influence of the outside world, or heredity, problems may appear in the heart center.

Signs of an open heart chakra

It is impossible not to notice a person with an open anahata, he attracts people to himself, willingly shares something and does not feel self-doubt. Also, such a person is not afraid to seem ridiculous or stupid in public and quite calmly admits his shortcomings in front of others. They are not arrogant, do not try to show their superiority over others, and in all situations they are friendly.

As a rule, people with an open heart center are extroverts by the type of temperament, because anahata is to some extent an emotional chakra. When communicating with such people, you can often feel as if you have known each other all your life, because a person understands you perfectly or even reads your thoughts - this is another manifestation of an open heart chakra.

Signs of a blocked heart chakra

If an open heart chakra is generally associated with the transmission of your feelings and emotions outside, with the manifestation of love for the world around you, then in the case of closed chakra everything is exactly the opposite. If the heart center is closed, then the person looks to others as uncommunicative, callous in the manifestation of emotions and especially in sympathy, distrustful. At the same time, a person feels offended himself, he constantly compares himself with other people and realizes himself worse than them, although purely outwardly he can demonstrate superiority. If you do not help such a person to cope with the existing psychological problems, then they will eventually pass into the category of mental and, accordingly, treatment will be necessary differently.

In terms of relationships, such people cannot create a couple for a long time and, in general, have difficulties in communicating with the opposite sex. Often, difficulties in this area are aggravated by the fear of being deceived or abandoned, therefore a person, choosing for himself safe place, decides to stay alone.

Closed Anahata also badly affects physical health. This is manifested in the unstable work of the heart, poor blood circulation, changes in blood pressure. Intermittent lung and breathing problems may also occur.

How it manifests itself in a healthy state

When the heart chakra is in a healthy state, then the other 6 chakras also work perfectly. This means that a person who does not have an imbalance in the heart center is equally successful in all spheres of life: family, work, finances, health, and so on. With the harmonious work of anahata, a person receives such an amount of divine energy that he himself becomes a source for others. Moreover, giving to others a part of his energy, he never remains in the red, the entire energy flow in which he is included is inexhaustible.

If the heart chakra is open, then it greatly affects the person's environment, because the energy of this chakra affects the biofield of the surrounding people, which makes even the most difficult and coarse person in communication soften. This is because the energy of anahata balances and harmonizes, relieving irritation and anger.

How to open

In esoteric literature, it is generally accepted that the development of the anahata chakra occurs in adolescence and ends at 15-16 years old. At the same time, for the first time, signals of a disturbance in the work of the heart center may appear, which an attentive parent will not miss. However, if problems with the heart chakra made themselves felt much later - it's okay, at absolutely any age you can get rid of them by learning to open anahata.

There are various practices that allow you to achieve harmony in anahata, some of the most famous of them are:

• repeating the YAM mantra corresponding to the heart chakra (or listening to it);
• the use of aromatherapy with the inclusion of such aromas as cedar and sandalwood, corresponding to anahata;
• yoga practice (some asanas work with anahata);
• meditation.

During meditation, the opening of the heart chakra occurs due to the complete relaxation of the body and concentration of attention on the heart center, in which a circular rotation should be imagined in color close to turquoise and delicate greenery. You should observe this flow of energy for a while, and then imagine how it intensifies and expands and fills you.

Chakra imbalance what it looks like

The lack of harmony in the heart center is seen, first of all, in the manifestation of such feelings as anger, impatience with the opinion of others, arrogance, selfishness, irritability, envy, anger and uncontrollable lies.

When the green chakra is out of order, a person's life is filled with an incessant stream of suffering. Such people often cause pity on the part of others, but for the most part they remain unpleasant and try to avoid communication with them.

There are some criteria by which you can determine if there is an imbalance in the heart center:

• distorted perception of the world;
• tendency to excessive sentimentality;
• inability to rejoice;
• loneliness and frequent depression;
• relationship with the opposite sex as "dependent";
• too deep immersion in the grief of a stranger, with living the situation as one's own;
• self-sacrifice, driven to self-destruction.

People with a lack of balance in the heart chakra often choose the victim position for themselves in life. At such moments, as a rule, they are driven by a lack of self-love and interest in their life, disappointment, unjustified expectations.

All these manifestations are quite dangerous, because a disruption in the work of anahata blocks energy in other energy centers and it can give the impression that a person's whole life is destroyed. In fact, tremendous efforts are required, on oneself in the first place, to change the situation and start the work of all chakras.

In men

It should be noted that the imbalance of the heart chakra manifests itself in different ways in men and women. So, situations such as a lack of desire to advance in a career, to be recognized in society can speak of male imbalance. For a man with the correct anahata, one of the important needs is to be loved. When an imbalance occurs, a man quite often abandons personal relationships, or replaces them with sexual contacts, not caring about consistency.
It is not a little important for a man to strive to adjust the surrounding reality for himself, reshape it, improve it and bring it to the level of comfort. With an imbalance, a man has absolutely no strength for any external manifestations, he is more often fixated on his own suffering.

Among women

In the female part of the population, other spheres of activity suffer from an imbalance. It is important for a harmonious woman to be creative, no matter whether it is sewing or canning - she will make a creative process out of any occupation. With an imbalance, a woman cannot enter the state necessary for creativity, and does household chores rather automatically. She suffers in the absence of balance in the anahata and the manifestation of a woman's love for others, she often closes in herself and stops feeding her man and loved ones with the energy of love.

Physical sensation when opening

When the heart chakra opens, a kind of relief from mental pain occurs, negative emotions go away, cleansed. With the achieved relaxation of the body, a slight pulsation or trembling should appear, while there is also a clear sensation of warmth rising up the spine. Do not be afraid of such sensations, if they appeared, it means that the result was achieved.

Shakti meditation asanas

Shakti Yoga (a practice dedicated to the female incarnation of the god Shiva) is intended for women and helps to fill with the necessary energy and feminine strength. To tidy up the heart chakra, you can use some asanas of shakti meditation (as a similar type of yoga is often called):

• "Pranamasana" - the pose of the person praying. To perform it, you should put your legs together (your back is straightened, the top of the head tends to go up), your hands should be lowered to chest level, joining your palms, and all attention should be focused on the heart center.
• "Eka Pada Pranamasana" - tree pose. It is necessary to take the starting position, as in the previous asana, then, while inhaling, raise one leg, bending at the knee and set the foot as close to the perineum as possible. After completing several cycles of breathing, you should raise your hands up in the "namaste" position and leave them above you.

As you master these asanas, you can start doing them with your eyes closed, and only when the practitioner masters them, move on to more complex asanas, such as Samakonasana, Ardha Ushtrasana and some others.

The meaning of the petals

Each chakra has its own structure, visually it can be represented with the help of a mandala - a sacred image. Anahata mandala has green color and is depicted as a lotus with 12 petals. The sound (mantra) corresponding to the chakra itself is YAM, also each of the petals has its own vibration, its own sound: Gai, Gham, Yam, Kak, Kham, Jam, Jham, Yam, Cham, Cham, Tam, Tham.

Reanimation of the heart chakra

A closed or unbalanced anahata chakra should be treated. One of the simplest ways is to stop sending negativity out into the world and start practicing gratitude for what you have. Good practice reanimation of the heart center - these are affirmations (positive beliefs) containing words about love, forgiveness and openness, and their pronunciation can be combined with drawing anahata mandala, in the process of coloring and drawing up which you can also visualize the green color in the heart center.

How to recover

The restoration of anahata occurs through purification. All those resentments, sorrows and disappointments that have accumulated in the heart should be let go and, having adopted new, positive attitudes, live on. There are many practices for releasing negative emotions, all of them are very unpleasant, because liberation occurs through exacerbation, in this case it is tears. Good for restoring the heart center meditation practice, you can also use mantras and even prayers that are close to you.

How to pump

To restore the work of the anahata chakra, you can use self-pumping. To do this, you must go through the following sequence of actions:

• having taken a comfortable position of the body, close your eyes and perform several breathing cycles;
• imagine that as you exhale, you let go of all the negative, and as you inhale, you are filled with new, positive energy;
• visualize a flow of green light coming from the heart center, the flow intensifies and begins to rotate;
• allow the flow of energy to rotate and overwhelm you for 5-10 minutes, then visualize the energy returning to the chakra, and as you inhale, open your eyes.

You can enhance the pumping with the help of music corresponding to the heart center.

How to clean with vibrations of stones

Using the energy of stones will help cleanse the anahata of negativity. To do this, you can use natural stones green, yellow and color pink, it can be rose quartz, helping to survive love dramas and setting up a creative mood. A tourmaline pendant will help develop the ability to give love and give thanks, not just take. Emerald teaches constancy and enhances feelings, and jadeite gives wisdom, jewelry is not recommended to be worn as close to the heart as possible.

Breathing cleansing

It doesn't take long to clear the heart chakra with breathing, the main thing is to do it daily. For this exercise, you should sit with your buttocks on your heels, and straighten your back, take a deep breath and, having made a tilt, exhale. During the exercise, all attention should be kept on the anahata. By the way, this exercise was called "Lion's breath" by yogis, although it is recommended to stick out your tongue while exhaling and imagine how dark energy comes out.

The harmonious work of all the chakras, and especially the anahata, as can be seen from the article, works out many aspects of the personality, gives the subtlety of feelings and understanding of the surrounding world, develops sensitivity and connects with the universal divine energy.
