The Centerpoint Of Love: Anahata, The Fourth Chakra

There are three physical chakras, the Muladhara, the Svadhisthana, and the Manipura, which we have already covered, and the three spiritual chakras, the Vishuddha, the Ajna, and the Sahaswara, which we will cover soon. Connecting them all together, and bringing balance to everything, is the central chakra, the fourth chakra, the Anahata, where the physical and spiritual unite.

What is the Anahata?

Located at the center of the chest, and encompassing the heart, cardiac plexus, lungs, and breasts, the Anahata, which means “unhurt” in Sanskrit, governs the heart and controls love, compassion, forgiveness, and healing from hurt and grievances.

The Anahata’s element is air, its color green, and its shape, the crescent moon.

Having a strong and open heart chakra, you become a paragon of love and compassion, have empathy to the plight of others, are forgiving and loving, and accepting of people’s true selves, faults and otherwise. Whereas a weak or closed Anahata can make you feel grief, sadness, anger, jealousy towards the achievements of others, be untrusting of people, and experience self-loathing and self-deprecation.

So in order to be a better force of good and love for the world and the people you care about, it is important to open the Anahata and keep it cleansed on a regular basis.


How to open the Anahata
The primary way to open the Anahata is to choose to uphold the essence of Anahata, which is top open the heart for love and forgiveness. Now, this may sound counterintuitive, after all, if your
Anahata is already closed, how are you supposed to do this?

One big yet not so easy step is to begin to let go of hurt done to you from the past. The simple act of even trying to let go of your hurt can turn from a trickle into a full on torrent of letting go of all the pain and wrongs done to you, which will free your Anahata to truly shine and make you be a paragon of love and compassion.

Once you have felt some letting go, your empathy will grow, which is when you place yourself in the shoes of others and understand how they feel and what they go through. This again will in turn open your Anahata!

The general rule is, give love to receive love, and when you’re both giving and receiving love, your Anahata will be strong and open.

The Ayurveda Experience will give you open your chakras to live a healthier, happier life!

 In addition to these, there are other ways to open the central chakra:

1.)    Heart opening Yoga poses – the yoga poses that open the chest and expand the ribs are the best yoga poses for the Anahata. These include the following:

• Ushtrasana or the Camel Pose
• Bhujangasana or the Cobra Pose
• Uttanasana or the Forward Bend Pose

2.)    Color therapy – wear the color green, as well as have green items in your office or home.

3.)    Gem therapy  - gemstones that are of green shade, like emerald, malachite, jade, and rose quartz can be used, worn as jewelry, placed in the pocket, or have as decorative items in your home or office.

4.)    Green foods therapy – the abundance of overly green vegetables and foods make it fortunate for people who want to open the Anahata. Spinach, chard, collard, mustard greens, lettuce, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, cabbage, peas, peppers, leeks, and many more!

5.)    Yum mantra sound, music – use the mantra sound of YUM when doing meditation, during certain yoga poses, and even at moments when you feel like your capacity for love and compassion are being tested. As well, listening to music for the heart chakra, like this binaural beats track for chakra activation, can help a lot.

Using carefully plotted binaural beat and isochronic tone frequencies, this all-in-one chakra meditational music track will help and guide you throughout your session. Each music segment will fade out indicating the next chakra point you need to focus on. Close your eyes. Feel the vibrations flow through you, and awaken with a much more relaxed state of being. Be One with yourself and your surroundings.

iRobot Roomba 880 Review

The new Roomba 880 features the revolutionary AeroForce™ Performance Cleaning System. Roomba 880 removes up to 50% more dirt, dust, hair and debris from all floor types. The tangle-free AeroForce™ Extractors are virtually maintenance-free, making it even easier for Roomba to tackle daily dirt build-up. 

The AeroForce Performance Cleaning SystemAeroForce uses three technologies to deliver the ideal balance of vacuum suction and debris extraction. Ideal for homes with pets and allergy sufferers, Roomba 880 traps dirt, particulates and allergens into a sealed, HEPA-filtered bin. 

Here's how AeroForce works:

Tangle-Free AeroForce Extractors: Dual extractors grab and break down dirt and debris from any floor type with no hair tangles for you.
Airflow Accelerator: Creates a sealed channel that concentrates airflow, drawing in more debris.
High-Efficiency Vacuum: Provides a 5X improvement in air power than previous Roomba generations.

Roomba automatically adjusts between floor types to clean carpets, tile, hardwood and laminate floors. The spinning side brush cleans dirt from wall edges.

What's In The Box:
1 iRobot Roomba 880
1 iRobot XLife Battery
2 Virtual Wall Lighthouses (batteries included)
1 Integrated Home Base
1 Remote Control (batteries included)
1 Extra HEPA Filter
1-Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty On Robot, 6-Month Manufacturer's Limited Warranty On Battery

Pros
Scheduling: The auto-scheduling features are still best in class for the 880. While nothing substantial has changed from previous versions, this is still a key selling point. Being able to have the vacuum auto-clean at regularly scheduled times is a godsend.
Persistent Pass Cleaning: One of the mainstays since the 6o0 series, this is still one of the best “pros” of going with a Roomba. The coverage technology developed by iRobot is still industry leading and automatically puts the Roomba in the top tier of robotic cleaners. While not a “new” feature this is still one of the top reasons to buy the 880.
New Features: The AeroForce cleaning system is a significant improvement over previous versions of the Roomba. One of the biggest criticisms of the Roomba has always been that –  while it has superior mapping technology – other vacuums like the Neato series had better suction power. The 880 certainly comes close to evening the score, although it is not entirely fair because we have not seen the latest next-gen improvements from competitors yet.
Awesome for Pet Owners: One of the side benefits of having a more powerful suction system is that pet dander and fur are gathered up much more effectively. For pet owners with allergies, sensitivities, or just lots of messy pet hair, the 880 is the best Roomba yet at cleaning the house!

Cons
Noise: This has been an ongoing complaint for Roomba’s regardless of the generation. The Roomba 880 is still altogether louder than most of the robotic vacuum competition. This is a small price to pay, but it really depends on how much of concern this is for your living situation. It is still quiter than most traditional vacuums and they have made improvements with 880 model.
Price: $700 is still a lot of dough to shell out for a vacuum. While robotic vacuums are now maturing as a consumer product, the price tag for the 880 might not necessarily justify the improvements made. This Roomba 880 review is not about convincing you to buy this model. Some of the older models still perform well, but sell for a steep discount. In many ways, it’s like buying the latest iPhone. Depending on whether the new features matter to your lifestyle, it may be worth investigating other options and saving the money.
