Happy St. Patrick's Day and Green

My morning thoughts on St. Patrick's Day have been about the color of green and our heart chakra. The meaning of our heart chakra's name, Anahata, is "unstuck". Its goal is all about love and compassion, especially in relationships of all kinds. It holds our right to be loved and to love, so it is fitting that the phrase "I love" sits within our heart chakra. Located in the mid-chest and between the shoulder blades, this chakra is associated with the element of air, the sense of touch, the state of inner harmony, and the celestial body of Venus. The bhakti yoga path is aligned with our heart chakra. For me, the key thought I am reminded of today, is that the heart chakra is the bridge between our lower and upper chakras. It is where the integration of the mind and the body occur. The lower chakras' earth and water are transformed by fire and are then able to mix within the air of the heart chakra with the sound, light, and consciousness of our higher chakras.

Whether or not you are celebrating the gaiety of St. Patrick's Day, take a moment to reflect and feel the compassion and love associated with the color of green and your heart chakra!

Namaste,
Leslie
