Opening a Loving Heart Wider


We all have a loving heart. We vary greatly in how freely we allow our loving heart expression. This article explores what we can do to maximize that expression.

Expressing our love and care in a meaningful and genuine way requires a degree of spontaneity and detachment. We must care for the joy of caring without regard for if or how that caring is received. This is easier said than done. When we are conscious of the benefit to us of expressing our loving care, it makes this easier. When we are focused on our loving heart and allow it to express freely as it will, we find we are present, free and at peace. As we grow in our appreciation of this experience, we are less attached to the outer impact of loving and more grateful to experience peace and presence.

As we gain confidence in our ability to focus our attention on our warmth within us, we choose to do it more and more. Over time, as we get better and better at it, we find being in this state improves our outer efficiency and effectiveness. That outer effect is a less and less important consequence for us though, because as we go deeper into our loving self, aligning with that love increasingly becomes our sole focus; our most rewarding activity. Paradoxically, in doing this we grow in our meaningful contributions to others. We end up helping in deep and profound ways we never dreamed possible, and yet we see that contribution as just one more effect of living with a constantly deeper experience of love.

We can only give what we have. In a loving peaceful state we become patience and wisdom. We become the listener everyone craves. We become the rock others can steady themselves on to access their own hope and faith. Everyone benefits when we focus more on being aware of the love within us.

The love within us exists and always has and always will. It's only a matter of us paying attention to it, feeling it and basking in it.
