PART 1
Love all living beings in a kind and transfiguring manner. Try to find the qualities that truly deserve to be loved and admired in them.

Think of others before thinking about yourself at least 7 times a day and thus you will feel that the love you give them comes back to you, infinitely more than you imagine.

Location: the fourth energy center, Anahata Chakra is located in the physical body around the area of the cardiac plexus.

Represents: compassion, emotional tranquility, detachment and unconditional love.

Symbolical representation: the consciousness of love and empathic communion with other beings, abnegation and self-giving.

On the psychic level: endless and everlasting love for your fellows, compassion, altruism, empathy, acceptance and self-sacrifice.

On the physical level: it coordinates the activity of the circulatory system, respiratory system and immune system.

Characteristic reactions due to an energy disturbance: the person in whom the energies characteristic to Anahata Chakra are disturbed will suffer because of dramatic or even tragic situations. Such people will have problems with the thymus and the endocrine gland corresponding to this center of force.

Characteristic element: the subtle energies of air.

Sensory organ: the skin.

Sense: tactile sense.

"The person who concentrates and meditates on Anahata Chakra may easily have out of body experiences, he or she may easily "fly" to other realms, into paradise-like universes or into another person's body, experiencing the other person's states of being. Such a person becomes the instrument of the divine cosmic love and obtains all other divine qualities."

From a mundane perspective, a person with an awakened Anahata Chakra will have a well-developed artistic sense, easily mastering art, poetry, or prose.

In a human being the awakening of Anahata Chakra allows the experience of sublime states of love as well as the intimate, mysterious communion with the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Let us remember the wonderful vision of Sundar Singh: "And I began to pray: "O, Lord, You who are everywhere, You who are the water of my life, have mercy on me and fill me with your Holy Spirit and your love, so that nothing else could get inside me ever again.

I only want You inside my heart, forever and ever. I do not want blessings, I want You, only You. I do not want the world, I do not want the vanities, I do not want its glory and I do not want the sky. I want You.

Because for me, You are the sky. In you I found the peace and tranquility of my heart. My heart is for you, not for anyone else. Therefore, my heart can only find peace in you, Father, the one who seeded in me this thirst for You and peace.

Remove from my heart all that stands against your will, come and dwell inside of me and lead my heart anywhere you desire.

When I got up, what did my eyes see? A being made of the very rays of light and possessing a beauty beyond all words, was standing right in front of me.

Although that being of light did not say a word, although I was not able to look at it properly because the tears filling my eyes were hindering my sight, a wave of love was coming from that being and a divine light was filling my soul.

I recognized Him immediately as the Lord. I came closer and I fell before Him. He had the key to open the gate to my heart and to fill it up with His love. I could see nothing in me, or around me. I could only see Him.

Obviously, the heart of man is the temple and the throne of God. When the Lord picks a heart to come dwell into, the very kingdom and sky of heaven come to live inside that man's heart as well."
