Opening the Heart Center


I’ve written on different occasions about the power of the heart to help you to heal. It is something that I’ve seen time and again, the difference that it makes when the heart is involved in the healing. It’s not an easy thing to come from the heart center for some people. They have shut their heart off because it hurts too badly for them to allow their heart to feel the emotions. I understand this, there are times that I wish I could shut my heart off and just move on without that deep hurt coming from the middle of my chest. 

I had to smile the other day when I realized just how powerful the heart can feel when it is moving in the right direction. I led a meditation on the heart. We were going through a breathing exercise to help us to feel the emotions that come to us and diffuse them in a loving and gentle manner. The technique that I used helps the Client fully feel the emotion so that it doesn’t leave a residue of some sort to later manifest in some form of physical or emotional problem. It is a very healthy way to deal with emotions and one that I hope they take with them into the world to develop and learn to deal with emotional issues on the fly. 

My smiling moment came after the meditation when one of my Clients was telling me that when I was instructing them to breathe through their heart center, she kept trying to breathe through her heart on the left side of her chest but she felt it in the center of her chest. She had no idea that her heart is located in the center of her chest, she always assumed it was on the left because of the Pledge of Allegiance! What a wonderful affirmation that she was feeling the heart chakra, heart center, open and develop. She told me that she had finally given up trying to breath from what she thought was her heart and just placed her attention on the spot that she actually felt everything. 

Opening the heart is a powerful thing. Learning to deal with all that life can send to us in a healthy manner is a powerful thing. It is never easy to open yourself up to the emotions that the world can create within you at any given moment. Learning to diffuse those emotions goes a very long way in helping you to maintain a life that is filled with balance. Balance brings health and happiness.  

I am very glad that I listen to those that guide me and decided to ask to lead the meditation that day. There were those that attended that needed this meditation and were ready for it. Those that couldn’t make it, I am assuming that this wasn’t the time for them to learn. The Universe does work in mysterious ways!
