The anahata chakra is associated with the mental subtle body, which shapes our perception of the world around us and is responsible for reasoned, logical thinking. When the energy center is balanced and the kundalini is awakened, it reveals healing abilities.

The fourth energy center is located in the center of the chest and is considered the mediator between the basic chakras and the higher ones. The anahata is believed to balance the streams of upward and downward energy. There are also three channels of male energy and three channels of female energy.
