Anāhata (Sanskrit: अनाहत, IAST: Anāhata, meaning “unstruck”) is the fourth primary chakra described in Hindu yogic, Shakta, and Buddhist tantric traditions. It is traditionally associated with the heart region and is linked to concepts of balance, emotional regulation, compassion, and relational awareness in classical yoga and tantra literature.
