Heart Opening Exercises?

[Butters]

So far I've done this video and have done this exercise without the video. It works well. But I wonder if there are other techniques to open the heart more?

What I've done is just put my attention in the heart and imagine light coming from the heart. I've also combined it with pleasant memories and gratitude. 

How do I open it more?

Oh yes! I forgot about that. Does regular dark chocolate do anything you think? I love chocolate.

@Butters well the first time i felt activity in my heart chakra was through regular 91% dark chocolate - but i cannot stress how big a difference there is between even 100% cacao and ceremonial grade cacao. so definetely go for the ceremonial - i drink it every day. super healthy for the body as well

Yes ones that truly help is singing, chanting as they directly activate the heart space, especially the "AHH" tone or F key, practicing daily acts of kindness and service, helping those in need, buying some food for the homeless person, not just walking past them, gratitude & appreciation, telling people you love them, these kinda things. And ultimately its about feeling. Feeling is true healing which can be very painful but even more freeing and opening.

You gotta feel the wounds that closed and guarded the heart to heal and open it up again, but often we unconsciously suppress them further.

Metta (loving kindness meditation) did that for me. Or listening to a really romantic song 💗

@Butters Make a list of all the things you hate about reality, all the things you fear about reality, all the suffering that happened to you, all the unfairness, that nasty thing they told you, how they scammed you that one time, how they laughed at your, when someone you really loved died... Really do make that list

Then go one by one, reliving that moment and infusing it with acceptance, embracement and love, without the need to change nothing at all, an absolute alignment with reality and an overflowing love for it all.

And if you can't do it, then love where you're at.

This is the tough path of Love, not some light sensation on the chest. This is the challenging Love journey that will yield true and enduring Love.
