Others stories point to the historical figure Joseph of Arimathea, who is believed to have carried relics of the resurrected Jesus across the ocean to modern-day England. All kinds of legends center around this location, like the tale that Glastonbury Tor has a connection to King Arthur and the ancient mythological land of Avalon. Another 25 miles beyond lies Stonehenge, which adds another layer of mystique to this earth chakra.

The heart chakra exists on the planet, too! The heart chakra of the earth is believed to be dually located at two towns in southwestern England about 30 miles apart from each other, Glastonbury and Shaftesbury. By connecting the lower three chakras - the root, sacral, and solar plexus - with the upper three chakras - the throat, third eye, and crown - the heart chakra acts as the bridge between the earth and spirit. The heart chakra is special because it is the fourth of the seven chakras, making it the exact halfway point of the system and the unifier of the physical and spiritual chakras. Elementally, the heart chakra is associated with air, and its mantra is, “I love.”


The heart chakra has a feminine energy and is symbolized by a green six-pointed star within a 12-petaled flower. This chakra governs one’s senses of trust, fearlessness, peace, generosity, gratitude, and connectedness, as well as change and transformation, healthy boundaries, depth in relationships with others, emotional control, and love for oneself. Anahata roughly translates to, “unhurt.” Accordingly, the heart chakra acts as the individual’s center of compassion, empathy, love, and forgiveness. The heart chakra, or anahata chakra in Sanskrit, is located at the center of the spine at heart level.
