Who hasn’t experienced a break-up? They are a part of life. Who hasn’t experienced loss, heart-ache, broken promises, and broken dreams?
Our heart is the soul’s center. It is not the actual organ, yet it resides in the same spot. The heart chakra opens when we are experiencing love. As a baby we feel the love of a parent. Someone looks in our eyes and holds us close and the heart chakra opens. As we go out in to the world, we learn to keep it closed, but one day when we are all grown up, we find love again. We find a partner, a lover who opens us up again.
“Being in love is like being turned inside out so that we may see the world in a different way and drink up the rain as new soil opens its mouth to the sky. For most of us it is a surrender of the heart. “
So then, what happens when a relationship ends? All our logic and mental reasoning may say that this is no longer working and it is time to leave. But our heart feels the wound.
The thing about wounds is that they heal. After a certain time, you look around and say – Ah, I no longer feel that pain. It is healed. I barely remember now when I thought it was so endless. And look – I have grown stronger and deeper. I have been furrowed and watered and now I can grow and stretch in the sun.
“Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.”
