Guest guest Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 For the last few weeks, I've been having heat sensations from my heart chakra up to my throat chakra. At first I thought I had to do some work with my throat chakra, however, as Ordinary Sparrow pointed out, it may be blockages with my heart chakra. During meditation, I would spend more time on my heart chakra and really feeling and visualize it opening up. I've had a difficult time with forgiveness this past year and it made a lot of sense to me to work on this area. I would meditate to Shatki and pray to God to release whatever needed to be release in order to open up my heart. Well, things started to happen to me beyond my control. In the last week or so, the slightest heart warming stories and experiences would bring my eyes to water. Just yesterday, while at the library with my daughter, I noticed a mother with her son. He had a mental and physical disorder. We were standing behind her in the check out area and noticed how she was struggling to keep her son awake- he was falling asleep while standing. I noticed how patient she was and how I felt her unconditional love for her son. I made eye contact with her and she must of noticed my empathy in my eyes, as they were starting to water. She was such a strong and loving mother, putting everything aside to nuture her son- it was sooo obvious. I started to thank God for blessing us with healthy children. Then I thought what it would be like to be in her shoes- my eyes watered somemore and if it wasn't for being in public, I would have just poured it all out. When I prayed last night for her, my tears just flowed out like a steady stream. I thought for a moment " Big boys aren't suppose to cry " , and noticed this was my ego speaking; I pushed it aside and just let it flow out. It was such a good release that I couldn't wait to share it with the group. As I'm writing this, my eyes are watering of this experience and the opening of my heart chakra. Today I feel like a load has been lifted off of me as I felt love again- it's been too long. When I do feel it, it pushes upwares to my throat chakra. The release of my throat chakra occurred when I expressed love through the tears. My prayers have been answered, however it was somewhat uncomfortable that it happened in public. I guess it is what it is and am thankful for the experience that created this turning point. This was an eye opener for me to appreciate my children a whole lot more and not to look at parenting as a chore. I've always been an unconditional loving father, but this expereince has raised the bar of love toward my children. Today my heart is filled with love and bliss. Blessings and Love to All, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey Sky, You are right...this experience will be remembered. The challenged boy was about my sons age and had an uncanny resemblace to my son...it was at that point that I connected with this experience and not so much with the boy (however I did pray for him), but for his mother. On the way out, I noticed her putting her son in an oversized, 3 wheeled carriage. The library is some distance from any houses, and I assumed that she would have to walk for some time and looked like it was going to rain (thank goodness it didn't). Driving home and sometime afterwards, I thought of the challenges that this woman goes through everyday for her child of God and the sacrafices she has made. I then looked at my life and my problems seemed so bleek compared to hers. Sometimes life details and presents us with the expereinces of others to ponder so we can put things into perspective about our own lives...it's a matter of paying attention...seeing with your mind...listening with your heart....feeling with your spirit. By doing this, I can only say that it suddenly removed judgements, linear views, etc....and poured on a far deeper and enriched paradigm filled with love, bliss, joy, happiness, compassion, caring, giving, empathetic, virtue, holiness, spirituality, blessings, forgiveness..... I asked K and S for my heart chakra to be opened and this is the result. I'm surprised that it was sooo quick-LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Namaste Ernie. . .a beautiful story of the high heart opening. . . leaves me with tears, i am sure the compassion you showed to the Mom was a light to her heart and day too. . .may this be an opening for her also. . . so often it is the " little " things that make it possible to keep on going. .. .i have a dear friend that has two young children and she often tells me about someone giving her a look of compassion rather than judgment when she is trying to contain the kids in the check out lane at a store. .. .those things really matter to a Mom's heart. . .and to ours too. . . many blessings ordinary sparrow , " boltonben111 " <erniebeneventi wrote: > > I asked K and S for my heart chakra to be opened and this is the result.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ordinary, I'm glad you enjoyed my experience...and yes, it is about the little things- I believe it was Mother Teresa who coined this phrase as she went out into the streets of Calcutta to help the poor. She is a legend in our time. Your story about the lady at the check out reminds me of the Steven Covey story about the father at the train station with his two boys just playing around with all their energy as people frowned upon him. Until someone spoke to him about him and he said he knows his kids are acting this way but their mother just died and I cannot find a way of telling them...instant reframe. So what have I learned....the mind has a way of looking at life, but when you add the heart into the equation...it's a totally differnt perspective.
