Opening the Heart Center


LOVE IS MAGIC- IT’S THE SECRET POWER ALL WHO LOVE POSSESS WITHOUT REALIZING IT!

The energies are indicating that after the recent breakthroughs that we have made, we are being guided to go back to our hearts and to unconditional love.
The angels are asking us to invest some time in ourselves, to not get so caught up in the dramas of life, especially these recent dramas we have all been facing.
This does not mean that the challenges end here, but rather that as we prepare for the coming challenges that lie ahead, we tap into the most powerful energy that we have available to us at present; the power of love.

Now is the time to stay very focused in the present moment, in the now and to fully connect and clear our heart chakras. By opening up our heart centers, love can shine through and lift us up above our issues that we are experiencing with ourselves and others. From this higher perspective of love, we can love even those who have hurt us as this kind of unconditional love transcends all faults and ego issues.
As we allow our heart centers to open, we re -connect to All that is and the feelings of separation in consciousness, which keeps us separate from each other lifts.
We can begin to feel authentic feelings of empathy for everyone and everything on this planet. We begin to realize that we are all dealing with some sort of pain, that we are in no ways separate from our fellow man, and as we begin to tune into this frequency of love, gratitude and understanding result and we are able to see the changes within and around us.

During times of stress, our minds work overtime trying to analyze and find solutions to our dilemmas. This of course keeps us very far away from the energy of love.

An exercise to do during the time ahead is to consciously connect to the heart and chest area. To allow ourselves to detach from the mind and to fall back into our bodies, into our hearts.  We can try to concentrate on the energy we hold in our heart center, to see if there is anything blocking the love that is there. We can also focus on the energy of love outside of ourselves, be it the love we feel for our children, partners, family etc and to bring this feeling into our heart.
It is important to differentiate between conditional and unconditional love. Conditional love is usually about mirroring aspects of ourselves in others, making them special in some way. This is only superficial and is ego based. This is not real love as it carries with it expectation and an identity. This can be seen as exclusive love, whereas unconditional love is inclusive of all, including ourselves. To practice this, we can develop an awareness for this kind of love and we can seek it in everyone around us, so that whether the person is a stranger, we love them the same way as we do our loved ones. This removes the ego identity from love and takes us a step closer into true, authentic love.

This is a good time to review how far we have come. Look back on the ways we have handled our challenges and the patterns that have been present. This week ahead allows for a pause, so that we can reflect on this and so that we can remember to do things differently in the next challenge.
We need to look at ourselves to see where we are reaching deeper and where we are being superficial, as a superficial mind often comes up empty handed, much like superficial actions leave us with nothing.

Reaching down deep and getting in touch with our innermost self, requires lots of love. However we have love all around us and love is all there is, it is the true essence of peace and it is the vital ingredient required to remain centered and clear headed in the storms of life.

Once we reach this degree of authentic, unconditional love, anything is possible, everything changes. We no longer need to label our lives and experiences as good or bad. We can simply realize that we can live our lives in any which way we choose, that all can be ours, provided we tap into true love.
