The Word Means Unstruck, and Yet
Anahata translates as "unstruck", the sound that arises without two things colliding. It names the fourth chakra, the green wheel spinning at the centre of your chest, and it is supposed to represent the frequency that exists before contact, before impact, before anything has had the chance to hurt you. The yogis who named it were not being naive. They knew exactly what they were placing at the heart centre. They named it for what the heart is capable of, not for what it usually gets.
