Being in your heart is the only way to truly be present.
In addition to being your seat of wisdom, love, and acceptance, your heart is the center of your awareness. When we’re not present in the heart, we’re not fully present in our lives.
That said, being in the heart can be difficult. Especially if there’s grief or pain there. Maybe we’ve closed the heart because we’ve felt rejected, betrayed, or abandoned. Maybe we think staying closed is the best way to protect ourselves…
But, staying open and connected to your heart is the only way to be healthy and to avoid letting the hardships of life throw you out of alignment with yourself.
You’ll see in the meditation below that we spend some time clearing the fear of being hurt. But, what we’re also working with here is just the fear of pain: old or new.
The only way to move through these feelings, and tune into the joy of the heart, is to be there with it, and stay in the heart space. Otherwise we just tighten around the pain and hold onto it.
So, today’s short video meditation will help you begin the practice of staying in the heart, through working with the heart chakra.
As you move into your heart, if you find the experience painful, just keep breathing deeply, letting the feelings move through you.
As you know, deciding to stay in the heart is a practice.
Let’s start together today.
