Chakra chart Locations of 7 main chakras with symbols and colours

There are different definitions of chakras. In general, they are reffered to as energy centers on our body, the energy flow through which affects our mental and physical health. There are seven main chakras on our body, five of which are located along the spine, the upper two on our head. It is believed that they are associated with different energy levels, from the lowest, the root chakra which stands for the pure matter, to the highest, the crown chakra which represents the pure consciousness. There are different chakra healing techniques showing that balancing the energy flow through chakra centers can heal. The one of these centers is of special importance for both psychical and physical health, well-being and feeling of self-fulfillment. It is called the heart chakra, also known as anahata, thymus chakra and in christianity the sacred  heart.

Heart Chakra - Anahata - Thymus Chakra - Sacred Heart

Why the Heart Chakra? It is believed to be the source of Divine Love, which is the most powerful kind of energy and only through this chakra, one can receive unlimited health and God's Love. In christianity, you can see pictures of Jesus pointing with his left hand to his sacred heart (heart chakra). His right hand points to the Heaven, saying that the heart chakra is the gateway to Divine World, that is to perfection.

 What others say about heart chakra (an excerpt from Wikipedia):

Anahata or the heart chakra is related to higher emotion, compassion, love, equilibrium, and well-being. It is related to the thymus, located in the chest. This organ is part of the immune system, as well as being part of the endocrine system. It produces T cells responsible for fighting off disease, and is adversely affected by stress. Symbolised by a lotus with twelve petals.

Fullfilment feeling and the heart chakra

According to contemporary buddhist teacher Tarthang Tulku, the heart chakra is very important for the feeling of existential fullfilment.
As result of energetic imblance between chakras arises an almost continuous feeling of dissatisfaction. When the heart chakra is agitated, people lose touch with feelings and sensations, and that breeds the sense of dissatisfaction. That leads to looking outside for fullfilment.
When people live in their heads, feelings are secondary, they are interpretations of mental images that are fed back to the individual. When awareness is focused on memories of past experiences and mental verbalizations, the energy flow to the head chakra increases and the energy flow to the heart chakra lessens. Without nurturing feelings of the heart a subtle form of anxiety arises which results in the self reaching out for experience.
When the throat chakra settles and energy is distributed evenly between the head and the heart chakras, one is able to truly contact one's senses and touch real feelings.
 

HEART CHAKRA MEDITATION

THE ENERGY MEDITATION

Choose a silent, slightly dark room. Take a comfortable chair in which you can sit with your back straight up. If you have any meditation or spiritual music you can play it quietly, it is often helpful but not neccessary. Sit on the chair with your face to the North. Do not cross your arms or legs! Lay your hands on your tights with the palms down. Now close your eyes and forget all your problems, fears, unpleasant experiences that you may have had earlier, etc. Relax and just try not to think about anything for a while.

Now concentrate on the middle of the sternus bone on your breast. This is where the heart chakra (thymus chakra) is located. Imagine white light here shining the rays of love. Feel joy and happiness, because you are soon going not only to overcome your own problems of any kind, but to help your friends and family members to solve theirs. Christians can imagine the sacred heart of Jesus here, sending unlimited, universal love to all who need it.

Imagine a lotos flower bud on your back, between the shoulder blades, which is opening very slowly, petal by petal.

Now when you are consciously present in the heart chakra, order the evil to leave the Earth and to stop destroying it. Mentally repeat it. Christians can say: In the Sacred Name of Jesus, I order you ... When you are consciously present in heart chakra, your thoughts have magnificant power and there is no problem that cannot be solved or a disease that cannot be healed. Everything you wish is going to be realized. Mentally say: All people are going to receive health and God's love. Repeat this.
 

Reject any strange thoughts that may appear during the concentration. Energetically tell them to go away, because you do not want them. The continuously present thought must be:

NOW I AM IN HEART CHAKRA, AND YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN MY MIND. Constantly repeat this phrase and do not allow any strange thoughts to disturb you. Each time such thoughts appear, ignore them and do not give them space in your mind. This can sometimes be extremelly hard and you will really have to fight, but if you are determined to remain concentrated in heart chakra, you are going to win. The God's love is more powerful than any other kind of energy and this is the only way to fully receive it. The realization of this concentration is easy for people who do not have planty emotions and who are not egoistic in their nature. Use these to help you:

I PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR HELP IN REALIZATION OF THE CONNECTION WITH THE WORLD OF HOLY SPIRIT. I ENERGETICALLY WANT TO BECOME A SOUL WHAT I REALLY AM.
 

When you succed in realization of heart chakra concentration, you will feel the energy of health and love passing through your body, and it is not important in which part of body you feel it, you will probably feel it in different parts. It can manifest in different ways, such as pain, shaking, cough, or whatever. It is quite normal, do not be afraid of these manifestations and do not suppress them. 
 

The most important is that I believe that my FATHER wish to give me Love, Health and Joy during my life. If I am not blessed, I have planty of problems, so I must follow the Way of my Soul through the connection with my Soul, because I am not a physical body, I am not material, I am a SOUL.

To end your meditation, stop concentrating, don't think about anything for a while and open your eyes slowly.

Even if practised occasionally, heart chakra meditation benefits stress reduction, helps inducing consciousness and weakening the ego, which is the first step on your healing path, however for complete healing, it is recommended to be practised at least three times a day.
 

What is the role of spiritual healer Giovanni? Theoretically, everyone can practise the heart chakra meditation on his own and achieve optimal health, physical, emotional wellness and self-fullfilment with it. However, majority of us have the energy link between our mind and our heart broken or not working well. This can delay or even make healing impossible. Using his knowledge in fields of spirituality, esoterics, reincarnation, etc. Giovanni first reestablish this energy link, detects and removes different energy obstacles and possible influence of different spiritual beings (see recommended reading), so before you start practising heart chakra meditation, you are advised to contact him to have this done. All of this he does on distance and for free. His help is actually the main reason for high efficiency of this meditation technique. Here is a message from him:

If you agree to practice the meditation I'll send you a short prayer extracted from the Bible and my help will be present on your spiritual growth.

Many regards to you and best wishes
