Fourth chakra: Anahata
The human heart is a vital organ not only physiologically, but also from the point of view of the soul. With our hearts, we are able to love free of charge, cherishing and cherishing this love, carrying it through our whole life as a sublime and pure feeling. There is an opinion that there are people who are not able to love. However, each of us contains this bright experience. It can acquire various forms, flowing over time from one permanent state to another. Thus, over the years, the individual comprehends the Highest Essence of love, which means complete immersion in the feeling and acceptance of it as the highest spiritual pleasure in life. The leading religions of the world, including Hinduism, describe love as a gift given from above, which should be shared with absolutely everyone around the world, regardless of race, nationality, worldview and religion. The spirit of love is such that, having comprehended it, a person will no longer belong only to himself - his main goal is to heal and improve the life of his neighbor through all-encompassing love.
The fourth chakra in the human body, the anahata chakra, is responsible for the Spirit of love. It occupies an area parallel to the heart in the very center of the chest. You can find it by placing one finger on the center of the chest, and the other behind in the same place on the spine. By fully concentrating and pressing gently on both points, you will feel warmth and energy spilling over all the nerve endings. With constant practice, you will be able to feel the anahata chakra only by concentrating your thoughts.
Etymology and description of the chakra
Anahata is translated from Sanskrit as "indestructible", "invulnerable", "untouched". An active fourth chakra tempers the spirit and will of the individual, making him invincible in the face of any life circumstances. If you wish something with all your heart, the wish will surely come true. This is the law of anahata. The revelation of the spiritual potential, the achievement of the love Absolute is its main postulate, passing like a purple thread through time and space.
The fourth chakra combines three spiritual aspects of life, reflecting them in the images of ancient Indian deities. Shri Shiva connects with Shri Parvati (one of the forms of Kundalini), forming the physical component of the heart - the left Heart Chakra. The deity governs the general world order, the form of our thoughts and actions. Shri Shiva is the Supreme Deity in Indian mythology. According to legend, the ascetics tried to oppose Shiva and directed terrible creatures against him. The first was the Tiger, from which Shiva made himself a cape, after that there were the Serpent and the Antelope - He put the Serpent around his neck, and the Antelope was forever clamped in his left hand. After the ascetics created 
powerful and terrifying dwarf demon Apasmaru, who fought with Shri Shiva with a mace with a skull at the end. Shiva grabbed the mace from his hands, grabbed the dwarf and, crushing him with his foot, began his furious and slow sacred dance, personifying the movement of the entire universe. The unbridled energy of the dance deeply impressed the ascetics, so they renounced any blessings in this and subsequent lives for the right to see him again. So, the ascetics, and later other Deities, recognized the full power of Shri Shiva.
The central place in the 4th chakra is occupied by Sri Jagadamba, protecting from fear and bestowing courage, courage, self-confidence. Jagadamba Durma Mata personifies the Mother of the Universe, who descends to earth to eradicate the forces of evil on it, to protect Gods and people from them. It is she who gives the Higher Power of Love, allows an individual with an open 4th chakra to comprehend the spiritual truth of this bright feeling.
The right aspect of the 4th chakra refers to God Rama and his wife Sita, who are responsible for the compatibility of the male and female principles. Rama personifies the ideal husband, father, son, brother and king, while Sita has the spiritual feminine power, allowing her Man to find and realize his true destiny. The name Rama in Sanskrit means "perfect highest of men." He is a model of altruism and righteousness, having established certain moral and ethical boundaries between God and man, in which both are in complete harmony.
Thus, anahata creates a unity between unbridled energy, steadfastness and blissful harmony. It is the middle center at the intersection of the paths of ordinary existence in the Muladhara chakra and the metaphysical in the sixth and seventh chakras.
The structure of the chakra
Anahata chakra is described as a circle framed by twelve lotus petals. From the inside, there is an interweaving of triangles forming a six-pointed star with the inscription "pits". 
From the central point of interlacing, the stem of the anahata descends.
Greenish gray smoke is one of the symbols of the 4th chakra. The color image is dominated by green, pink, purple hues. The downward pointing triangle represents the individual characteristics of the individual, her strength and wisdom. The opposite triangle reflects the awareness of the higher spiritual path, the true purpose in life. The anahata center gives a perfect balance between consciousness and illusory aspects, balancing the mental characteristics of the individual.
The 4 chakra stones include aventurine, chrysocolla, rose quartz, emerald, jet, chrysoprase, dioptase, malachite, rhodonite.
Bodily and metaphysical manifestations of anahata
Anahata chakra is responsible for the disclosure of full-fledged spiritual love relationships between all individuals. She personifies the diverse levels of love, ranging from the experience between a man and a woman to friendly, brotherly, human love.
The main goal of the chakra is considered to be the immersion of the consciousness of the individual into a transcendent state, the discovery of new facets of the unconscious, the realization of the personal true divine essence, the knowledge of the all-encompassing power of love, the radiation of warm gracious energy. Achieving such enlightenment, the individual strengthens the spiritual and physical aspects of his health. A balanced 4th chakra helps to gain irreplaceable positive experience, achieve all the goals, move along the path of self-realization. At the same time, it is important to remember the great significance of the Spirit contained in our physical body.
Very often people improve themselves physically, forgetting about the moral component, which ultimately leads to complete 
emotional exhaustion and mental imbalance. Modern meditations are not always aimed at improving the mental aspect of the anahata chakra - most often people do them mechanically, without thinking about the further consequences of incorrect entry into transcendence. In ancient times, the wisest developed a whole set of exercises focused on correcting the spine due to an incorrect lifestyle and returning the body to its original appearance. Thus, the physical body was prepared for the cognition of the Higher Spirit and the search for oneself.
Physically, the anahata chakra is displayed in the tactile nerve endings, thymus gland, circulatory system, heart, lungs, immune system, spine, hands, and also on the skin. If the chakra is closed, there is an internal disorder of the organs, sometimes entailing irreversible consequences. With constant negative thoughts, excessive life activity without a break, tension, dissatisfaction with life, the spiritual balance of the individual is disturbed. This entails not only closeness to everything esoteric and mental, but also complete hardening of the heart. A person can no longer feel true love for all living things, he becomes a loner in a vast world.
Consequences of violations of the anahata chakra
By treating the body solely as an instrument, one can completely get rid of the inner Spirit, since a person simply forgets about it. Heart diseases, blood pressure disorders, respiratory diseases, insomnia, depression are in this case the integral companions of the individual. A constant feeling of anxiety can cause a rapid heartbeat and breathing problems. Very often, physical pain and torment are confused with moral purification. In the modern world, misunderstanding and cruelty have become our constant companions, which is why there is a replacement of concepts - we see evil in good, and evil is perceived as something proper and natural. In this regard, the left side of the fourth chakra closes, causing spiritual enlightenment.
If the central part of the chakra is broken, a person begins to possess such qualities as fanaticism, materialism, arrogance, callousness, and has an unhealthy imagination. When the right side of anahata is blocked, emotional aggression, fatherhood problems, constant dominance over others arise.
Resuscitation of the heart chakra
To restore the work of the chakra, you need to focus on several points. First of all, you need to let go of the negative from life, look at the problems differently, try to normalize the chaotic train of thoughts, make a stop or even a short break in business and worries in order to restore the energy channels in the body and rethink some life principles. After giving the body a little rest, it is recommended to take a course of spiritual meditations and mantras. Calm and harmonious music in combination with the YAM mantra and a relaxed posture will help in clearing thoughts of negativity, unblocking all three aspects of the 4th chakra, restoring vitality and energy.
Anahata chakra opens the heart towards the selfless and omnipotent feeling of love. It gives the individual receptivity to high sensations, allowing him to share his warmth, energy and love with the whole world. Full opening of the anahata chakra helps to find a perfect spiritual path, merge with the Supreme Deity and cognize the great essence of love.
