She Who Chooses

Take a deep, cleansing breath and check in with your body. How does your heart feel? Put your hand there. Does it feel tight? Are your shoulders caving in, ever so slightly? Is there a feeling of pressure or strain at the back of your heart chakra, between your shoulder blades? If so, you are in a state of protection. By curling your shoulders in, you are quite physically trying to protect your heart. If you sense this in your body, meet it with love and understanding. You have done nothing wrong by protecting your heart. We all do this. This was you trying to love yourself.  And yet, there is another way. Heart-break and habitual self-rejection in the form of judgmental thoughts (we all have 'em!) can make it hard to live with a truly open and undefended heart. And when our hearts are closed, we may be protected... but we also can't receive the love we truly desire.
