Heart Chakra: Seven Amazing Facts You Might not Know

The fourth chakra is active from the moment you are born, but it was the second chakra to form within you, since you are a being capable of love.

Although green is the colour of this chakra, the colour of love is pink.

When you channel or send love, it does not go via the chakra of your heart! But when someone loves you it is received via this chakra.

When you give someone a proper hug, you align your heart with theirs so you are in each others chakras; how beautiful!

When you are being all loving then you may see a green haze, this is to do with the chakra filling your aura with its colour.

This chakra radiates out into the 4th layer of your aura, but does not reach the edge of your aura.

Saying “AAAH”, like the spontaneous sound you make when you see something beautiful, soothes and nourishes your heart chakra.

Discussing the heart always leads to the subject of love because the two are entwined. Love is such a big subject that we have dedicated an entire section to love, because it is so important even your spiritual progress depends on it. Love really does sit at the core of the teachings of The Way Back, because it is “The Way Back to God” and the goal of the Six Virtues.

The spiritual journey is the journey to take your spirit to The Source and discover oneness, which is Unity, the source of love, God. Because the spiritual journey is a journey of love then there is an important connection between the heart and God. Unity and God are more than just a religious idea and whatever your beliefs might be you can actually explore your connection to them through intention.
