Chakras in Daily Life ⋆ Higher Chakras ⋆ Class 4
The heart center; so often proclaimed as a pivotal chakra in the body. Whether our energy predominately moves upwards or downwards in the spine rests in large part to how we direct this powerful center. Upwards, it can lead us to expanded love, moving into the higher throat chakra of deep inner calmness. Downwards, it can scatter our life force into the desires and aversions. Calmness, far from apathetic rejection of the world, is a dynamic state towards which we should all aspire. Just as Yudhisthira is supported by all his younger siblings (the chakras), the divine calmness of the throat requires active support from the lower centers to fully express itself.
