The heart is located in the breast area.  From the back it is the middle of the thoracic part of the spine/back. The color
associated with the heart chakra is green.  A nice medium; not too light and not too dark.  The only time this chakra is radiating
pink in color is the unconditional love and the deep love experience which are only temporary states and only last for short
periods of time.  (minutes or an hour)  and the color is green.  This is considered the fourth chakra.  Also known as the
unconditional love center and the Anahata chakra.  The element associated with the heart is air.

Within this chakra is our beliefs of our own innocence and purity.  Our deservedness of the simplest desires and needs.  It
allows us to feel unconditional needs.  Also to activities  and needs that will create the feelings of love and good will to all.

Body and organs that are governed by the heart chakra: thymus, immune system, right hemisphere of the brain, middle
thoracic of the spine,  heart, lungs, bronchial tubes, circulatory system and blood.

This is were we express our desires, needs and wants. Our emotions of love and how we give and receive love in our lives.  
Unconditional love comes from this center.  The compassion we have for others.  Our own self love, self worth, and self love.  
The inner most desires and our dreams.  

When this energy center is developed it contains our ability to heal.  The proper way to heal is through unconditional love and
compassion.  Everyone has the ability to heal in some level but it is the unconditional that makes it a true healing.   Also when
this center is developed it brings in our ability to be empathetic and compassion for others.  To radiate the universal Divine light.
