Open Your Heart
- Category: Personal Development for Adults
Be gentle with yourself. What unfolds within you ripples through everyone around you.
For many, self love appears to be the final stage in the growth of the heart chakra. Many of us, especially in the West, know how to care for others more readily than we care for ourselves. This pattern runs deep.
In our relationship with ourselves, criticism, harshness and even cruelty often make a daily appearance. Have you ever noticed what you say to yourself in the privacy of your own mind? We often call ourselves names we would never give to anyone around us.
The reason we treat ourselves without love and respect is that we have not yet learned to see or to experience how profoundly we are all, in truth, ONE.
What happens to you happens to everyone, for you ARE everyone, and in the same way everyone is you.
There is only one HEART and one CONSCIOUSNESS.
Whoever you are, you sincerely and deeply deserve love and care from every possible source. By being gentle with yourself, you lift the tide of love in the world and you discover ways to love humanity at a deeper and more complete level. Because reality is, in a sense, holographic, you ARE humanity.
