The chakra of altruistic love

 Since the anahata chakra works to send energy out of the body, it is typically very active in faith-healers and psychic surgeons, as well as in many other people who are working actively to have a positive effect on the world. Such people seem dynamic and vigorous, but are also sometimes criticized for being overly aggressive.  Aggressive behavior, by its very nature, is direct outward; otherwise aggression is impossible. Anahata-type people are very good at directing their mental energy to work toward external objectives. When an individual turns his or her energy outward to help others, the anahata becomes the chakra of altruistic love.
