Me: Ivo, I want to talk about this today.
Ivo: Very well, my love. I see this has been on your mind. You have many relevant points to make on this subject.
Me: I think I do. I have my experience. I started doing chakra alignment meditations again because I was feeling off. Going through ascension is rough because old stuff is coming up and I'm being pulled back down into lower chakras to feel the blocks and let the energy go.
But, boy, when I do heart chakra realignment meditations I feel like gold! I feel peace, joy, love, and life IS SO MUCH EASIER!
I did one this morning before going on Facebook and then again afterwards. I went out to go to the bank. I was at the bank the other day and saw a man who kindly opened the door for a disabled woman walking with a cane and it warmed my heart because here was such a kind soul doing a favour for someone with no expectation. My heart warmed at someone being so thoughtful.
But today I am the one who is smiling upon everyone I see. And the person who benefits most is me!
I was trying to turn left into a plaza at lunch hour with piles of traffic. A lady beside me pulled up and realized she was in the wrong lane. She wanted to turn left too. I waved and let her in. I do tend to do that but if my heart were not open, I might not have been so accommodating, or perhaps would've let her in but would've been resentful about it. Why? There's no need.
I believe that those are learned behaviours that we have to unlearn.
I went to the restaurant and bought a take-out. The cashier closed the drawer without giving me my change. I said, “I still need my change. It should be $2.10.” She looked confused. Then she started thinking. She re-opened the drawer and gave me my money. I got my money and wished her a good day, thinking here is someone more forgetful than I am so I felt sorry for her. I wondered if she was stressed at work.
In a bad mood I could've come up with any other kind of reaction. And like I said, it's learned behaviour and it can be unlearned. Rise above it. That's my daily goal. To focus on keeping my heart open, not closed to any degree.
Ivo: Very good, my dear. We continue to try to convince you that this is the way. And perhaps we can now convince others. Life is much easier when you allow love to flow through you. Do not allow this flow to be blocked with fear.
Your head is a much more pleasant place to be. No thoughts of how others are insufficient, how others are there to make your life harder, no thoughts of how much you want to be alone. You can go out into your world and not suffer as so many do! It is just through open heart that this is achieved.
You understand, my dear, that the first three chakras correspond to the third dimension, your ego and your lower minds. Well, the fourth chakra, the heart, is the first of your higher consciousness chakras and with it open and flowing love to you, all around you benefit as well.
Look at the conversation you had with the lady at the dollar store as you bought the heart boxes you plan to place around your home with as a reminder to yourself: you were lovely. You spoke of gift giving and the lovely things you could give to others in these boxes and how wonderful the dollar stores are because they offer inexpensive goods that fulfill people's creative needs.
Me: I know. Far cry from me on days I'm going through ascension energetic blocks telling myself, “Shut your mouth. Don't talk! Don't say anything to anyone!” because I know negativity begets negativity and I don't want it and don't want to hurt anyone else.
Ivo: Yes, and you cheered up the cashier as well as you spoke so highly of her work establishment. You cannot fail when heart is open!
So many fear that they will be hurt if heart is open. This is not true. When heart is closed is when you can be hurt because you are living from fear. Heart energy, love, protects you from negativity. It is a protection in itself! Fear shuts down one's heart and you might have to work to keep the heart open in these cases. It is worth the effort.
You see so many expressions of being broken hearted.... yes, the heart is sensitive. But it is not the heart that is broken, it is the fear expressing itself. Your societies deliberately mislead you so you will keep heart closed.
When one is in a relationship and it breaks apart, it is said that the heart is broken. No. It is the lower chakras that are so out of balance and they have lost their counterpart in the other person. There is now nothing to balance you because the other person has left – your balance has left. You are out of balance and not able to rebalance using the other.
Me: The heart chakra can be misaligned though.
Ivo: Yes. Grief and anger are the only negative expression of the heart. When you miss someone. Otherwise, all other reactions are based in lower chakras.
And when you do your meditation, and feel so wonderful, then you must continue to carry this feeling throughout your day. For a while, it might be easy. But then your normal thoughts, your negative fear-based thoughts, seep back in.
You must counteract them with thoughts of beauty, love, compassion, caring... and continue with similar actions: holding the door for the infirm, aiding others in carrying their groceries, saying kind words to the neighbours, smiling.... if you need to work at it, then do so. A good suggestion was to find one loving word for every letter of the alphabet (Orin, Sanaya Roman).
Watch how cheerful you become when you focus on the vibrations of these words.
Open-heart based living is the only way. It is the way of the life of all humans in the galaxy and you certainly can do this as well. Overcome your fear-based systems and minds.
Me: Thank you Ivo!
Ivo: My dear, you are most welcome.
