Awakening
The heart is like a being which is asleep and receiving a sharp blow it awakens. Also the heart is like a stone and the fire which is hidden within it can only he brought to life when it is struck by a hard material. Then the fire appears. So it is with the heart. The fire which is life, love and feeling and which is the most sacred thing in us, is hidden in the heart as the fire in the stone. When it is struck with force, the fire appears. That is why we receive great blows in life.

I was just about to pose a question to the group about the heart and just saw your post...I was going to ask if anyone else had found the heart opening, healing, thawing and expansion process to be one of the most challenging parts. What I find fascinating is that I was tuned into universal consciousness, and experienced bliss, and yet my heart was wounded, closed...and for the past two years in particular it has been broken, beaten...I refused to close it...and now something which feels like thawing, opening and feeling are taking place.
