Buttt… First…Let’s Talk ‘Heart…To…Heart’…
Heart- The Most Precious Body Organ
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the 💓 heart.
–Helen Keller
What if our heart has not been there for us… Just like some heartless animals.
Jellyfish, starfish, and even corals manage very well without hearts.
That said, we would have been born out of some bodily actions just like eating, sneezing, or walking!
Our parents would have made us without any love or emotions for each other.
Without our hearts 💗 the emotions like love, kindness, compassion, empathy… would become alienated 👽
That is why undoubtedly the heart is the most important organ in most living beings…
… And the energy centre- Anahata that corresponds to the heart has the highest significance when we focus on our Chakra System.
The heart chakra, aka Anahata, is located at the center of the spine at heart level. Anahata means “unhurt.” Accordingly, the heart chakra acts as your center of compassion, empathy, unconditional and objectless love, and forgiveness.
The heart chakra acts as a bridge between our three lower chakras- Muladhara, Svadhisthana and Manipura, and three upper chakras- Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara.
That said, it has connectivity with both- your physical plane as well as the spiritual plane.
