We think of it as connecting or relating to the otherworldly, higher levels of consciousness, and a way of really seeing things in this bigger, cosmic way.

Everything You Need to Know about Your Heart Chakra
The Fourth Chakra The fourth chakra or heart chakra is located in the middle of the chest near the heart and is associated with the color green. This chakra controls ideals of love, compassion, kindness, and acceptance. Those with a strong heart chakra are very empathetic and compassionate people. They have an understanding of how others feel, and can typically put themselves in other peoples' shoes very easily, looking at situations from more than one point of view. People with a strong heart chakra are also very kind and forgiving in nature, making them trustworthy and loyal friends. The heart chakra is truly the center of love and relationships, but this idea of love spans much more than love in the romantic sense; it also refers to self-love and universal love, the ideas of acceptance, trust, and appreciation for all living and non-living things in this universe. Those with a strong heart chakra also usually have a stronger sense of self, and they exhibit confidence.
