4. Anahata chakra is the fourth center of force and is located in the area of the cardiac plexus. It symbolizes the consciousness of love, empathy, selflessness and devotion.

On the psychic level, this center of force inspires the human being to love, be compassionate, altruistic, devoted and to accept the things that happen in a divine way.

On a physical level, it controls the circulatory, respiratory and immunity systems. The disharmonious activation of Anahata chakra is the source of all love-related problems that appear in some tragic cases (divorce, death).

Moreover, this disharmony leads also to the perturbation of the endocrine gland corresponding to it - the thymus. The activation of this fourth chakra brings about the mastering of poetry and prose.

"The person that meditates perseveringly on this chakra may easily have out-of-body experiences and fly thus to parallel astral universes. Such a person is the perfect instrument of the divine cosmic love and obtains all other divine qualities." (Swami Shivananda)
