How Can I Reopen My Heart?

So frequently we shut down and close our heart when we’ve been hurt. But that just ends up hurting us more! Our heart is such a beautiful and sensitive part of what makes us human. That sensitivity is what makes us get teary-eyed when we’re with the one that we love or when we see a baby cooing. Our heart has to be open to feel that. BUT that open sensitivity is what we shut-down when we get hurt. Our ego steps in to protect us and thinks the best way is by closing our heart to prevent further hurts. But, that protection prevents us from loving and caring and feeling. So we actually hurt ourselves worse! And, this is where we need to make a conscious decision to take a chance and open our hearts again.

In this beautiful teaching, Sadhviji shares with us the ways that we’re able to do that, and why it’s essential that we do so. Watch and listen as she reminds us that the gift of love is well-worth the chance we take in being open to receiving and giving it.
