So, in order to induce anahata awakening we should definitely practise bhakti<br />

yoga.When kundaliniis established in anahata there is absolute devotion and even a<br />

confirmed atheist will change. However, awakening of anahata is not only a way to God<br />

or guru, it is also a way to complete unity and harmony in family life. Therefore, in India,<br />

most Hindu women are initiated into bhakti yoga at a very young age. When they are four<br />

to six years old they are taught to practise devotion to Lord Shiva, Krishna, Rama,<br />

Vishnu, Lakshmi, Durga and so on, because it is easier for women to develop anahata<br />

chakra. For this reason women are also told to use anahata as their center for meditation,<br />

whereas men are generally advised to concentrate on ajna chakra. Anahata is the seat of<br />

human love and the seat of divine love. They are not two things, they are one and the<br />

same.<br />

Psychic propensities of anahata chakra<br />

Prior to the awakening of anahata there may be frequent pain in the chest or irregular<br />

functioning of the heart, such as accelerated pulse. However, rather than feeling ill, one<br />

feels healthy and active and requires little sleep. One obtains complete emotional balance<br />

and the ability to communicate externally as well as internally. Voices or sounds coming<br />

from other realms may be heard, and buzzing or humming sounds and the music of a<br />

flute may be experienced.<br />

The sadhaka may become an inspired poet, artist or singer. He may manifest<br />

clairvoyant/clairaudient or psychokinetic ability, or he may be able to conquer people <strong>by</strong><br />

the immensity of love he emits. A person who is in anahata is generally very sensitive to<br />

the feelings of others and his sense of touch is strongly developed. He also has the ability<br />

to heal others, either <strong>by</strong> touch or <strong>by</strong> generating his own spiritual energy to other people in<br />

order to effect curative changes. Many people who perform miraculous healings do so<br />

through the agency of anahata chakra.<br />

With anahata awakening one develops non-attachment to worldly things and a<br />

constant feeling of optimism, understanding that good and bad coexist, but there is also a<br />

world beyond this duality. After ridding oneself of attachment, the mind becomes<br />

relaxed, free and peaceful. And with the discovery of true freedom, pleasures of dualistic<br />

life become meaningless.<br />

Vishuddhi Chakra<br />

Vishuddhi chakra is known as the 'purification center'. The Sanskrit word shuddhi<br />

means (to purify), and in this chakra the purifying and harmonizing of all opposites takes<br />

place. Vishuddhi is also known as the 'nectar and poison center'. Here, the nectar which<br />

drips down from bindu is said to be split into the pure form and the poison. The poison is<br />

discarded and the pure nectar then nourishes the body, ensuring excellent health and<br />

longevity.
