Mending a Hardened Heart
In a world that's infinitely large and paradoxically small, our hearts are filled with constellations of emotions, swirling around a black hole of past pains and heartaches. In my recent healing sessions with clients, a recurring theme keeps presenting itself, begging to be dissected and understood: the phenomenon of the hardened heart.
You see, a heart doesn't simply become stone overnight. It's a gradual transformation, born from the crushing weight of betrayals and disappointments, often inflicted by the very people we've anchored our trust to. There's an irony in the fact that a heart turns to stone not because it's inherently cold, but because once upon a time, it loved too fiercely, too vulnerably.
When we delve into the anatomy of our hearts, it's not just about ventricles and arteries. It's about its chakra, the invisible torus shaped energy field it radiates, and the pericardium—its shield against life's many adversities. These facets can all be wounded, not just by physical maladies, but by the invisible scars of emotional upheavals.
You've probably met them—the individuals who seem impenetrable, like fortresses. But behind those walls, their heartbeats tell tales of their past. It's a silent, rhythmic communication. A coded message that's felt, not heard. It's in the hugs we share, the hands we hold, and even in the spaces between our words.
We're taught to idolize independence and to wear our emotional armor with pride. Yet, beneath that facade, we're all made of stardust, yearning for connections. To be authentically human, to truly feel alive, we need to let our guard down. We need to remember that our essence thrives on interconnection vulnerability, on being soft-hearted.
So, how do you un-break a heart that's weathered many storms? The answer isn't found in grand gestures, but in the myriad of small moments where we feel truly seen and cherished. Whisper to yourself, "In this vast cosmic expanse, I have a place, I am seen, and I belong.” Think back to those moments, perhaps laughing with friends under a canopy of stars or feeling the universe's pulse while standing at the edge of the sea, where you felt like you were values . Where you felt like you belonged.
Notice these fleeting moments. Hold onto them. They're like fragments of shooting stars, brief but illuminating. Amidst the chaos of our existences, you have the innate power to mend your heart, stitch by stitch. Because, after all, we're all just stories in the end, and yours is one worth living with an open heart.
