the heart chakra is also called the abode of mercy. this is the centre for a universalised love – it is unlimited compassion and kindness for the greater human family. generating compassion is truly the way of the heart and is the central theme of the heart chakra. this chakra is attributed to the color green – the color of new growth and new life – the color of spring – the color of rebirth. green is an appropriate color for the birth of a new level of feeling within ourselves. the opening of the heart awakens transpersonal love – it brings an increased ability to direct prana – especially for healing. cosmic force is awakened – not the sentimental love of star struck lovers but the cosmic love which binds us all.
