Watercolor and pencil on illustration board, 13 x 20 2009 © Patricia Ariel Anahata is the chakra located in the heart region. It's connected to the capacity for deep love and to the feelings of compassion and empathy. Through this chakra we are able to connect to our "inner Christ" and to the upper planes. This principle inspired me to create a piece about love and its power. Ascension shows how universal love can be compared to a genuine spiritual experience, leading to freedom from the material condition and to a deep inner transformation.
