HOW TO OPEN YOUR HEART
Do not try to open your heart now. That would be a subtle movement of aggression towards your immediate embodied experience.Never tell a closed heart it must be more open; it will shut more tightly to protect itself, feeling your resistance. A heart unfurls only when conditions are right; your demand for openness invites closure.
This is the supreme intelligence of the heart.Instead, bow to the heart in its current state. If it's closed, let it be closed; sanctify the closure. Make it safe; safe even to feel unsafe. Trust that when the heart is ready, and not a moment before, it willopen, like a flower in the warmth of the sun.
There is no rush for the heart.Trust the opening and the closing too; the expansion and the contraction; this is the heart's way of breathing; safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe; the beautiful fragility of being human; and all held in the most perfect love.
