Healing a Hardened Heart

When the heart becomes hardened by life’s experiences and world events, how can we be open to love? How can we release constriction around the heart to experience the Divine Ocean of Living Consciousness, which is Unconditional Love and Compassion? What is needed for healing a hardened heart?

That is the focus of this week’s experiential Meditation and Healing Circle. We are beginning Section 3: Disease, Pain & Healing: Physical, Mental, & Emotional, from The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace. The question for today is “Why does love hurt? Why does my heart ache so?”

The poet Rumi wrote, 'The crack is the place where the light gets in.' The crack is where the waters of gentle mercy can seep in, healing a hardened heart. Share on X

NOTE: The following is from an energetic download that came through in a writing retreat. It is shared “as is” with no edits. I do not make claims to speak for God or any other spiritual entity. However, I do recognize that this information is important to share as our planet is evolving. This question and response are part of the upcoming book, The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.

Why does love hurt? Why does my heart ache so?

When life hardens the walls of the heart, it blocks the flow of love. It takes our presence and vantage point outside of our inner ocean and takes us to a perception of separateness.

Does that mean we are separate from love? No. There is love there too. But we have placed ourselves outside and built barriers of protection to guard against pain. We cannot feel or perceive love except through a distance, and that separates us, or seems to separate us, from ourselves. We can’t breathe. We struggle.

When love wants to take us back into the ocean, the walls have to crack.
“The crack is the place where the light gets in.” ~ Jalal id-din Rumi

This is how the light can shine and guide us back to the inner ocean. Love awaits with no conditions. We can test it. Love is what heals the pain, and even in the barriers, the walls, the resistance, the pain, the crack, the light – the basic foundation and substance is love. Love with no conditions.

Love opens the pathway to return to your inner ocean. Love heals. Love is love.

I mentioned a few Divine Names and Sound Codes today:

An-Nur: The Divine Light
Al-Wadud: The Unconditional Love
Ar-Rahman: The Eternal Compassion

May you deeply and intimately know yourself, and experience the eyes of God seeing through you to witness the expression of God that appears before you through every aspect of existence.

You’re invited and welcomed to join us live next week. We continue with Section 3: Disease, Pain, & Healing: Physical, Mental, & Emotional. Next week we will cover healing for a lonely heart. The question is “Sometimes I feel so lonely, the pain is unbearable. I want companionship, someone to love who loves me. Is this possible?”

See you there!
