Spiritual teachers have always pointed to the heart as the seat of
consciousness, and recently Western science has found evidence to
support this realization. It turns out that the heart has its own
central nervous system and is not simply under the rule of the brain as
formerly believed. Anyone who has taken the time to explore the heart
knows this and, more important, has realized that the heart is the
source of our connection to a consciousness greater than the ego.
Approaching life with an open heart means that we have opened the door
to this greater consciousness, taking up residence alongside it in the
seat of our soul. Fortunately, at this time there is a lot of support
for this shift energetically as well as practically. To some degree,
approaching life with an open heart is as simple as shifting your
attention onto your heart.
Eventually you will be able do this any time, any place, but at first
it may help to try it in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.
Simply sit with your eyes closed and draw your breath into your heart.
As your breath expands your chest cavity, your heart expands and opens.
You may feel tenderness or sadness in your heart, and you may also feel
relief. Any emotions that arise can be effectively witnessed and healed
through the meditation process, which benefits both your physical heart
and your energetic heart. The more you practice, the more you will find
your heart opening to your own presence and to all the situations your
life brings.
When we open our hearts, they may feel tender and vulnerable, which
simply means that they need our loving attention as we cleanse and heal
them of past hurts and blockages. This process asks us to practice some
of the heart's greatest lessons-patience, compassion, and unconditional
love. On the other hand, we may take up residence as effortlessly as a
bird returns to its nest. Either way, approaching life with an open
heart simply means returning to our true home.
