: News reports of increasing number of elderly living alone or checking into old age homes. Reports of marriages breaking down, frequently and faster. Reports of high rudeness in urban life. More intolerance in relationships. Reports of children committing suicide in reaction to parental pressure. While everyone is saying “I want to be accepted as I am, for what I am” there is increasing unwillingness to accept others as they are. There is not enough space for compassion in the workplace, where competence and competition is being celebrated.

With selfishness, restlessness and aggression as the new virtues, nobody really believes that the meek will inherit the world any more…not even in India. And certainly not on the cricket field. To turn the other Gandhian cheek is now considered foolish. Except in an occasional Munnabhai. India’s Heart Chakra is definitely weakening.

Heart Chakra or Anahata people, have by nature, a selfless state of mind. More open to sharing and caring, given to empathy and sympathy, careful not to hurt, generous and kind, they bring peace and calm to those around them.

Harmonious relationships are very important to Heart Chakra people. To them, life is not a competition, certainly not at the cost of relationships. They are able to give and are more gracious and forgiving than average. Look around and spot the person in your office who people tend to go to, to share their problems with and ask for a shoulder to cry on; the person who goes out of his or her way to take up cuddles on other’s behalf. Spot the person who has more patience with their weaknesses, is the best team player, stays back to help others, and generally seems to have a lot of faith in mankind.

Spot the person who is best at understanding other people’s problems, and the best at being genuinely happy at other people’s successes, and you’ll spot a strong Heart Chakra person.

If in a roomful of boisterous 15-year-olds, you find one whose heart is breaking for the pigeon caught in the balcony, not knowing how to fly out through the bars, you know you have spotted a person with a good Heart Chakra.

Anahata brands bring harmony, calmness, generosity, grace, cooperation, unconditional love. Anahata brands offer payoffs to me, personally, such as they help me to maintain good relationships with others; help me to accept others
