The heart is at the center of our being. When we are in our heart we feel. So often, we live in fear of what we feel, closing off the communication between ourselves and our hearts. We become distant and cold, disconnected and afraid.
With opening into our hearts, we open into feelings and emotions that can scare us. Allowing, just simply allowing and fully experiencing the feeling frees us from its grip. Feelings that are true, such as love, remain and feelings such as pain and fear seem to disappear (these feelings just transform into love, allowing us to grow into love more fully). It can be scary, yet that which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
Finding attributes in others that we can appreciate can help us to open our hearts to them. People respond to this. When your heart is open, it helps others to be more open, too. I see this is my clients, with whom it is important to begin building trust even before we say hello.
May we find new ways to love, to open our hearts and allow.
Namaste

Love and pain can be seen two sides of the same scale with fear resting the middle. By fearing pain, as you point out, we miss out on love. Great message you have shared! 🙂

I share as I’m learning to live it…makes it easier to explain the process. I love more today than yesterday or the day before.
Thank you, Michael, for your guidance and support in my endeavors to open more.
I’m absolutely loving this work we’re doing together. I feel this is timely: Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”
