In chakra nyaas, there are 8 mantras and you've said to concentrate on anahat chakra
petals in clockwise manner, but in anahat chakra there are 12 petals, how can we do
nyaas with 8 mantras in 12 petals? Is there some error in typing?

It is the minor Hṛt cakra, also called the Hṛdaya (heart) cakra, situated just below the major
Anāhata cakra. This eight petalled lotus (Aṣṭadala padma) is also referred to as the Surya
cakra energizing the body and the other cakras in the body from the Sun's rays and it also
represents a section within it dedicated to the moon and an inner section where the divine
wish fulfilling Kalpavṛkṣa tree is said to reside. In other words, all our energies, mind can be
focused on this cakra with this particular nyāsa to obtain the blessings of the Divine Mother
Tārā and manifest our cherished wishes and desires.
I have made the correction in the article to refer to the Hṛt cakra.
