The Fourth Chakra: Heart Chakra


Chakras are energy centers that mediate life force energy between the energy field, the unified field, other people, the environment, and the physical body.  Through this circulation of energy, chakras nourish the body and its physiological systems, having the greatest energetic influence on the area of the body nearest to its location.  

The major chakras are positioned along the central vertical axis of the body, beginning at the perineum ending at the top of the head. The Sanskrit name for the 4th chakra is "Anahata." This word means "unstruck" or "stillness."
