The Day I Opened My Heart

Today I was disappointed by a family member.  Feeling low, I decided to shut down and nap.  When I awoke an answer hit me with the brightness of the sun….MY HEART IS EXPANDING!

The day I opened my heart…

I didn’t care so much about being alone.  I wanted to share in the energy and the experiences of others.  Giving to those I cared about, when they asked became something I enjoyed.  The change didn’t happen overnight.  In fact, it’s still happening.  I notice my patterns of wanting to be alone still creeping in…but when placed in a situation where others are or might be around, I simply open myself up now. 

I want to be around others and to be around those I love even when it means living closely together or sharing things or making sacrifices.  I feel there is always a way to make the situation a win/win so that everyone benefits AND contributes. 

I began to notice that being around others, when led by my heart, led to expansiveness and growth.  No more deeply seeking for answers.  I would find them through others, if I allowed myself to be open.

Fear began to dissipate and was replaced with a deep assurance that I am provided for. 

Now I’m still a novice at this heart opening magic, but every day I make steps toward more love, more expansiveness.  And the universe thanks me abundantly.
