Softening Your Heart

Are you experiencing challenges in your relationship? If you answered 'yes,' you are not alone! And there is an excellent excercise to try; it is used to open the heart.

Many of my clients have felt a deep shift in themselves and their relating by using this technique. I recommend that you practice this exercise for 3-5 minutes twice a day and use it also when you see your partner and feel the anger, dissapointment and/or hurt rear up.

To do the exercise:

1. Breathe in deeply and visualize your partner in your heart. Imagine warm, loving flames surrounding them.
2. Breathe out and imagine fanning those flames.
3. Repeat the process.

If you feel warm as you try this exercise, that is normal. You may find that it alters your communication with your partner profoundly.

I hope it helps you and I wish you all the best. Love takes work, and sometimes we have to put energy into remembering why we fell in love in the first place. The most important thing is to stay connected to yourself and your feelings. Enjoy a gentle, open heart today.
