Heart Chakra Foods:

Nourishing Your Heart Energy Center

What Are Heart Chakra Foods?

The Heart Chakra (Anahata) is the fourth chakra, located in the center of the chest. It's the bridge between the lower (earthly) and upper (spiritual) chakras, and it governs:

  • Love and compassion
  • Forgiveness
  • Connection and empathy
  • Emotional healing and balance

Its associated color is green, and its element is air—light, open, and expansive.
