In Sanskrit, Anahata means unhurt or unstruck. It is the bridge between the physical and the spiritual. It is represented by 2 intersecting triangles forming a 6-pointed star. The Heart Chakra is the place where we can connect to our Higher-Self. Unlike the love-like emotions stored in the Sacral Chakra, The Heart Chakra is the Home of Unconditional Love. It is a gateway to the Divine.
