Modern Medicine has related the Heart Chakra to the Thymus Gland, this being responsible for clearing the toxins and pollutants from our bodies. Todays modern society, with todays ever increasing food additives and preservatives, the now accepted pollutants that intoxicate our bodies through food, water and air the thymus gland is a vital organ and an essential part of our natural defence system. It is located in the centre of the chest in humans.

The Heart Chakra is green but sometimes pink and is probably one of the easiest Chakras to misplace. It is located in the middle of the chest just above where ribs meet, just above the sternum. 
The Palm Chakras stimulate the Heart Chakra, left palm working with inner emotional and right palm working with outside emotional needs.
The beautiful blue exhaled from the throat chakra is produced here in the center of the Heart Chakra.
Common names associated for this chakra are: Heart, Fourth, Anahata, 12 petal lotus or tao 8 petal.
 
The Heart Chakra develops from the age of 18 and is developed enough to cope by the age of 25, this Chakra continues to mature and continues to grow to the point of understanding unconditional love. To love and be loved. The Heart Chakra rotates clockwise, working with the sun’s rays to project peace, love and light unconditionally.
 
Of our five human senses, exploring the sense of touch and enjoying the world with all of its challenges will help open and enable exploration of the Heart Chakra. The scent of a summer meadow, or fresh cut thyme will stimulate and encourage the natural ebb and flow of energies. The ability to see all truths, to be able to love and accept love will lead to the acceptance of unconditional love. Unconditional love is the key to the daily maintenance of the Heart Chakra.

The Heart Chakra accepts the growth and physical needs of the lower chakras, also accepting the ascension and balance of the higher chakras and blending the mixture to be distributed evenly. Understanding, compassion and empathy are strong traits that will help keep the Heart Chakra pure.

An unbalanced or dirty Chakra is a potential cause for the body to physically or mentally manifest a variety of illnesses. If medical science is unable to diagnose an underlying cause or if the ailment is random or instant then this is potentially a cause worth considering.

At the other end is the negative aspects brought forward from a dull or smokey mushy soft chakra: Self-loathing, anger, aggressiveness, solitude, fear.

Physical manifestations may be: chest pain, heart problems, breathing problems, asthmatic problems, shoulder or upper back pain. ​
