An open heart is a telephone to spirit, transformer of negativity and the great healer!\u00a0 How do we keep an open heart in a world undergoing great change?<\/p>\n
Our natural state is an open heart, and when open everything works out as it should in our health, our lives and our world.\u00a0 But hurts, fears and burdens of worry are common reasons a heart may be heavy rather than open and light.\u00a0 Here are some thoughts on how to lighten up when heaviness gets in the way of wholeness.<\/p>\n
When we use the term open heart, we are referring to the heart chakra, which is the mechanism which anchors our true Higher Self into the world, transmutes toxic states of body, mind and spirit through unity with Higher Self, gives and receives unconditional love, and communicates between human and divine consciousness.\u00a0 This is just a brush stroke on what this amazing spiritual organ does for us when it is open and free.<\/p>\n
When things worry us, when we feel wronged or wounded, become angry, outraged or frightened the heart becomes weighted down by emotional and mental energies of a lower nature that make it feel blocked.\u00a0 Sometimes it even hurts \u2013 as in chest pains, pressure etc.\u00a0 These things happen to all of us, especially during times as challenging as we are facing in our ascending bodies and world.\u00a0 Keeping an open heart is simultaneously more important than ever, and more work to maintain!<\/p>\n
How to Have & Keep an Open Heart:<\/p>\n
1) Breathe!\u00a0 When we are upset, a common response is to hold our breath.\u00a0 This is because when we aren\u2019t breathing we lift out of our bodies and in that ungrounded state we don\u2019t feel the upset as much.\u00a0 This is a problem because when we are out of our bodies, we are not in our power; we are rather shut down instead.\u00a0 So taking a few deep breaths can help us to ground.\u00a0 Also, we can\u2019t breathe deeply and keep our heart closed, it will open.\u00a0 When our heart opens it begins to clear the clouds of emotion and thought so clarity can come.\u00a0 Because our heart is a link to our Higher Self, we can begin to seek that connection and discover the purpose behind circumstances and so realize how to optimally respond.<\/p>\n
2) Overcoming \u201cBrain Cramp\u201d.\u00a0 One of the things that cause our heart to close is when our brain tries to be our big protector \u2013 telling us what to do, even when it hasn\u2019t really got a clue.\u00a0 A lot of people live in this state of constant or intermittent mental control; it is a way of protecting from feeling vulnerable or overwhelmed.\u00a0 But when something big comes up that the mind can\u2019t talk us through, the mind goes into a kind of brain cramp \u2013 it is like a mental version of a computer glitch where you can\u2019t get control of your cursor and everything is stuck.\u00a0 A good first response to this is to move your body.\u00a0 Get up and walk, which stimulates your breathing, then when you swing your arms it reboots your left and right sides of your brain so they work together and you can think and speak clearly.\u00a0 15 minutes or less will usually have your brain working again, but any movement will help.\u00a0 The right side has a strong link to your heart and your feelings, which helps to uncramp the linear left brain.\u00a0 Breathe and give yourself an inner hug, and tell yourself it will be okay.\u00a0 Let your heart open so your Higher Self can begin to clear the clouds of emotion and mind and help you discover the opportunities for correct action and personal growth within your circumstances.<\/p>\n
3) Focus on the beautiful, good, kind and delightful. Find your gratitude for life.\u00a0 When life is overwhelming, the tendency of the strong is to keep pushing through things, trying to get to the other side. \u00a0However, the other side of some of the things we are experiencing now may be a fair distance away.\u00a0 Don\u2019t wait for life to \u201callow\u201d it\u2026take a break.\u00a0 Put it on your schedule, or cancel things if needed.\u00a0 When you are stuck with a heavy heart the harder you work, the slower you will go, until you feel you just can\u2019t go on.\u00a0 It can feel like dragging a very heavy weight around.\u00a0 Just stop, take a day, afternoon, a couple of hours or whatever you need to just let go.\u00a0 Focus on what you love, what feels comfortable, what makes you happy to be alive.\u00a0 Open your heart to your Higher Self and welcome the love in to unblock your constricted heart chakra.\u00a0 Take whatever time is needed to get to a place of trust, gratitude, relaxation and open heart.\u00a0 Then when you return to your responsibilities you will find that you get more done in a day than in a week of working with a closed heart chakra!\u00a0 Let others cover for you, realize you can\u2019t carry the world on your shoulders and it is okay to ask.\u00a0 When you return everyone will be better for being with the open-hearted you.<\/p>\n
4) Step 3 can be done alone or in company, see what most refreshes you.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid to take time alone.\u00a0 In those silent places within our lives is where we get to know our Higher Self; and there we discover our own soul\u2019s directions and potentials.<\/p>\n
5) Any of these suggestions can be done in a microcosmic way \u2013 just briefly in the moment; or they can be done in a large way involving an hour or a day or a week.\u00a0 Do the brief and if it isn\u2019t enough, plan for the longer solution.<\/p>\n
I suggest you practice living with an open heart; so your heart chakra can do its job.\u00a0 Try taking a \u201cbreathe\u201d pause between activities and checking in.\u00a0 Are you holding onto something from your previous activity or worrying about something that you can release into the care of your Higher Self?\u00a0 Let it go, then relax and welcome Higher Self to be present through you as you begin the next activity.\u00a0 This is the process of ascension \u2013 remembering that who you are is really an eternal, enlightened Being — which I am calling your Higher Self.\u00a0 By grounding that into your body through your open heart, you can observe how it makes everything lighter and easier for you and those around you.\u00a0 Not by carrying other\u2019s burdens, but by simply being the light grounded into an incarnate soul!<\/p>\n
