The thing about the heart thats so challenging is that opening to love also means opening to hurt. Most of us have strong resistances to feel anything that doesnt feel good. So we block ourselves (in many, many ways - from the Internet to food to substances, you name it). This comes with a major consequence - denying the difficult feelings automatically means denying the love, too. If we can learn to accept all feelings (and Im talking about on a cultural, as well as individual level), then we can expand our experiences of love beyond anything weve ever felt before. But we have to be willing to feel it all. This is the trick. Ironically, feeling more love comes from being open to feeling the unlove, too. (To be clear, feeling the unlove and acting out in unloving ways are two entirely different things…if you are confused about what this means and you want to know more, ask me a question in the comments and I will do my best to answer you.)
