The Wounded Heart

"When we expand the lens of our heart with kindness,

we may see an aspect of it that we had not considered before."

Mitch Davidowitz

We cannot help how we feel, but we do have choice as to how we react. We may become defensive or critical rather than staying in the moment to explore what is triggering us. The generous kindness we offer to friends in need aught to be applied to the self as well. It is harmful to withhold or deny what we experience.

In support of others, we hold safe space where experiences can be expressed without censorship. As a good friend, we don't shame or blame. The very same aught to be true for ourselves. Just being quietly present can be healing in itself. There is a need to accept our deep feelings even though they are different from family or friends.

It is empowering to be in the presence of a listener who does not have an agenda. By extending love to us, we are able to share our deepest sorrows and how they impact the present moment. While being generous with compassion, safety and healing are offered to the wounded  heart. 

Open The Door

"While it is important to look directly while

speaking, it is essential to open the door

to your heart."

Mitch Davidowitz

Eye contact heightens a conversation, as they say, eyes are the doorway to the soul.  If we are closed off while sharing, our vibration is lowered and not nearly as engaging.  When we speak from the heart, the frequency is definitely elevated.

We must not fear the reaction to what we communicate.  Either it will be embraced or rejected, which aught not alter our personal truth.  The words we speak reverberate deeply within, solidifying our very core while stirring a reaction in the listener.

As we open the door to our heart as we speak, a multi-dimensional communique is offered. Our simple words turn into a deeper language, accompanied by the body, mind and soul.  Our words empower us and hopefully inspire others, but we must remain open to the words and thoughts of others.
