The heart chakra, "anahata," which means "unstuck, unhurt," is the center point of the chakra system. There are three chakras above it, and three below. It's also the central energy of us. The heart is what keeps us going in terms of pumping blood, and love is also what keeps us going. The 4th chakra is about not only love in terms of relationship, but all the other loves...self love, love of the earth, love or art...it's all the loves! When we are in balance with love, doesn't the world seem great! Everything is as it should be. There is beauty everywhere. The feeling of love in balance is a great one, and that's the goal of the heart chakra - to find love in balance.
