Anahata 04

Anahata
Unstuck or Unstruck Sound


Here we have twelve green petals and two overlapping triangles. The one facing upward represents Lord Shiva the downward represents Shakti. This is an attained balance leading toward harmony.

The psychological states are: lustfulness, fraudulence, indecision, repentance, hope, anxiety, longing, impartiality, arrogance, incompetence, discrimination and finally being on the defensive.

This is where your emotional balance resides. When open you loose the attachment of the material. When this chakra is open you no longer need the acceptance of others and are able to drop all manner of psychological problems due to ‘acceptance’ or ‘rejection’. This chakra encompasses the aria of spiritual love, and when you have spiritual love you no longer ‘need’ it from an outside source.

Problem Arias:
When there is ‘too much energy’ your emotions tend to go into over active ‘blind faith’ and have a tendency to ‘fall in love’ at the drop of a hat, also this leads to smothering and stalking. Blind devotion is also a result, and even though it ‘can’ be a good thing, when you fail to use logic, these things are very negative.

When there is not enough energy this leads to closing yourself off from people, also it causes us to be apathetic, however, it can also cause one to be clingy, and be over obsessive in regards to gaining acceptance.

Here we have the symbolism we have come to know, the trident (power) the drum (creation/destruction/rhythm of the universe) Sitting on the tiger skin (sublimation of the ego) Least we not forget the ganga flows from Lord Shiva’s hair.


Om Tryamlakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pusti - vardhanam |
Urva - rukamiva Bandhanan
Mrtyor - muksheeya Ma - amritat ||

Meaning:
Om. We worship The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is fragrant and who increasingly nourishes the devotees. Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk.

She is holding that which is necessary to attain balance, the sword which cuts through obstacles that block higher energy flow, the shield to protect from worldly problems, the skull for detachment from material concerns, the trident here represents balance between preservation, creation and destruction.
