Anāhata Cakra - Becoming Love
There are 7 major energy centers in our body, called cakra in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.
Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The loving energy of Venus is connected to anāhata cakra located in the heart region. The Venus energy works on this cakra and tends to imbalance it when it is too oriented towards getting others' love, attention, and recognition. Anāhata flowers when you start giving love unconditionally.
It is a proven fact that cakra correspond to and affect the functioning of specific glands that constitute the body's endocrine system. The deep need for love can create dependency and emotional restlessness which can drain your system, creating chronic diseases or depression in the long run.
You should keep an eye on your diet, which can be extreme when depression or low moods assail you. Libra can be prone to bulimia and seeking sweet items to counterbalance a lack of affection. Guilt is very often an outcome of this behavior, whose roots should be addressed.
To keep anāhata balanced, developing awareness, understanding and experiencing how you can flower by sharing your love will benefit you. You can start today to practice this sūtra: ‘suffocate others with your love’.
This attitude will give contentment, fulfill your longings and teach you to put others before yourself.
A balanced anāhata cakra will confer a broad and generous personality, radiating bliss.
