Developing a watchful state for opening the heart comes in the still of the moment. It also comes with the crushing rush of demands and emotional pressures that come from day-to-day living.

When confronted with emotional stress your human nature�s reaction is to push back or to recoil in fear. Just be mindful of this and know that you are not your human nature, but God incarnated in the physical.

Tapping into Spirit will forever change your concept of openness. This state of being feels like a deep cavernous feeling of joyfulness. This is the kind of joy that comes from your heart opening. "Heart opening" feels so expansive because you are literally shifting into a higher state of vibrational resonance. The world is made up of matter and the core of matter is energy. We energetically shift into higher vibrations of joy as we give our best effort toward realizing our heart�s desire.

TIP: Live in this feeling of joy. Be grateful for all that you are experiencing in life, and you will perpetually feel your heart open wider. This opening is God�s gift of love to you.
