“ When your heart is open, what’s that feel like? Physically, in your chest — like warmth and relaxation — and in your body altogether. Emotionally — such as empathy, compassion and an even keel. Mentally — like keeping things in perspective, and wishing others well. Feel the strength being openhearted, wholehearted. Be not afraid and be of good heart. Paradoxically, the most open person in a relationship is usually the strongest one.
