The kundalini by passing by this chakra will bring love and will make the mind happy in its own heart. Indeed, this chakra is the chakra of love. It is the chakra which unify the man and woman principle. The organ which represents this chakra in the modern medical system is indeed the heart but the endocrine gland which is equivalent is the thymus (the center of creation of the anti-bodies, which regulate the health of the body). This chakra is the center of the blood circulation. This chakra symbolizes the power of love and despair. The Anahata chakra is symbolized by a twelve petals flower bearing the Sanskrit letters “ka”, “kha”, “ga”, “gha”, “na”, “ca”, “cha”, “ja”, “jha”, “na”, “ia” and “iha” on each of its petals. Each of these petals correspond to a specific feeling: 1 lustfulness; 2 fraudulence; 3 indecision; 4 repentance; 5 hope; 6 anxiety; 7 longing; 8 impartiality; 9 arrogance; 10 incompetency; 11 discrimination; 12 an attitude of defiance. Inside the petals, there is a star which represent the water element. It is the two triangle one over another: the male and the female principle which create the love principle. The seed sound in the center is “yam”. The dominant colors of this chakra are rose, green and gold. Its corresponding planet is said to be Venus, the planet of love. Its music note is F.
