Part 4. Chakra notes, Summaries and Kundalini Awakening
Anahata Chakra ❤️
The heart chakra is the center of the entire chakra system. It is said, in this present age, the collective consciousness is passing through a phase of Anahata. In most people, it is not completely active but functions slightly. It connects the 3 lower physical and emotional centers to the 3 higher mental and spiritual centers. Its purpose is to achieve perfection through love. It brings us the capability to empathize and sympathize with others and to experience the harmonious cosmic vibrations we perceive through the creative sciences, nature, music, art, and poetry. Images, words and sounds are transformed into feelings and emotions. Sorrow, pain, separation and loss of love are also expressed in the heart chakra. The heart chakra contains the potential for transformation and healing, for ourself and others, for compassion, understanding, and an expansive joy that includes all life. Vishnu granthi, the second psychic knot is located here, it represents the bo***ge of emotional attachment, the tendency to live life based on the strength of emotions and feelings rather in light of the spiritual or divine quest. It is said, one who meditates on the heart chakra is adored by others, full of wisdom, has inspired speech and the ability to enter another’s body at will. Ta***ic scriptures say that in Anahata thoughts and desires are materialized and fulfilled. If your consciousness remains in the lower chakras you will still be ruled by fate or destiny, in Anahata you become master over the situations of life.
🕉️Functioning Anahata Chakra:
You radiate natural warmth, sincerity and happiness. This opens the hearts of people around you and you inspire confidence and joy. Compassion and willingness to help come naturally to you. You can change the world around you, unite or heal people in your surroundings. Your feelings and emotions are free from inner disturbances, conflicts, doubts or uncertainty. You are motivated by the joy of giving and do not expect to gain anything in the process. You are aware of the cosmic world, divine love and harmony. You recognize that all beings, human or animal, live in your heart and see their life as part of your life. You have the feeling of being alive and you embody the everlasting expression of divinity and bliss.
🕉️Non Functioning of Anahata Chakra:
You are injury prone and dependent on the love and affection of others. When you experience rejection, you are deeply hurt, you withdraw inside and are sad and depressed. Your fear of rejection prevents you from expressing love or find the right way to do it, and it then reconfirms your fears repeatedly like a circle with the same outcome of rejection. You try to compensate for your lack of love by being overly friendly or helpful but whenever your heart is being asked to open, you avoid the situation or shut yourself off because you are afraid of being hurt. If it is completely closed you can be heartless, indifferent and cold. You require strong stimulation to feel anything. You are out of balance and suffer from depression.
🕉️Kundalini Awakening Anahata Chakra:
It is only when you reach Anahata that you become a real yogi, until then you are a yoga practitioner. Here you are completely established in yogic consciousness rather than anything external or concerning faith. According to the tantras, whatever you think or wish comes true. If an awakening occurs and you do not know the powers of your mind and have any negative mental tendencies, ruled by fears, or hold dark approaches to life, then you will fall prey to them and fall back to the lower chakras, where there is hardly any chance of making a second start. It is important to have firm control over the mental tendencies and fantasies of the mind when whatever you wish for comes true. When all our thoughts become reality, we must be constantly alert or we could be the source of our own destruction. You must be extremely optimistic and positive, always full of hope. Physically, mentally and spiritually you must be at peace with yourself and the whole community at large. Anahata chakra awakens universal, unlimited love for all beings. All your actions are ruled by unselfishness and deep spiritual compassion. Your love does not involve bargaining, it is free from expectations. Even if you meet a murderer, a thief, or you are amidst poverty, suffering, war, or emotional crises you have to think “the whole world is in me” or “I am in everyone”. Once you can develop this attitude the kundalini will shine forth and rise to the fifth chakra-vishuddhi, the center of immortality. Prior to awakening Anahata one may feel irregular functioning of the heart, rather than feeling ill, they feel healthy and need little sleep. In kundalini awakening, there is complete emotional balance. Voices from other realms may be heard and buzzing or humming sounds. One may become an inspired poet or musician. One may manifest psycho-kinetic or clairvoyant abilities. They become sensitive to the feelings of others and have the the ability to heal others either by touch or with their spiritual energy. One develops non-attachment to worldly things, a constant feeling of optimism, an understanding that good and bad co-exist, relaxed, free and peaceful. The pleasures of dualistic life become meaningless.
