How to Heal a Broken Heart

If you have been freshly wounded, my sincere condolences.

If you are suffering, it can be hard to hear that this has happened for you, that you set this heartbreak up for yourself in order to grow and evolve, to become stronger, more resilient, more compassionate and emphatic.

That which has been cracked open allows more light in. When our hearts are broken, we grow in awareness of the suffering of others and our ability truly to love.

The thing to be aware of is, that when we close down and constrict the flow of energy to the heart following a brutal wounding, in a vain attempt to protect ourselves, we shut down, numb down, on a level which blocks our own joy, happiness and opportunities for connection.

If you have been wounded, recently or historically, and intuitively sense your heart is blocked, learn to sit with the heart and listen in deep, trying to detect its beat.

Light a candle and call in any higher dimensional guides you are drawn to work with.

Archangel Micheal can help cut any soul ties to anyone who has hurt you.

Archangel Haniel has a gentle energy and can assist in forgiveness of self and others.

Yeshua, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, and Isis all vibrate with the frequency of compassion and divine, unconditional love.

Place the tips of your fingers of both hands over your heart and rest your awareness on it, listening for your heartbeat, as you simply breathe. Just sit, in stillness and silence and allow the energy within the heart space to shift, noticing any pain or discomfort logged there without attaching to it.

Repeat this practice daily, for 5 to 15 minutes a day, sitting peacefully, in full awareness, with your attention resting gently on the heart.

You are being loving and gentle with yourself and things will begin to shift back into alignment as the stuck energy is allowed to move, to flow.

You will know what is needed to support your healing process. Trust your own emerging inner wisdom. Maybe you need a good cry, or to talk to a supportive friend, or to dance, do yoga, or journal.

Perhaps there are things you needed to say to this so-called “other” who agreed to hurt you in this incarnation. If so, write letters, let it all out, all the poison from the wound. Describe just how hurt and betrayed you were/or indeed, still are. Play the victim, blame, and shame. Swear at them, call them all the worst names imaginable, in red pen and block capitals, if you’re moved to do so.

Then read what you’ve written once, imagining you are this other on the receiving end, and burn, in a wood burner, or fireplace, or a bowl outside, somewhere safe.

You can repeat writing letters you’ll never send for as long as you need to, along with the deep heart space listening as you go through all the stages of grief and start to come out the other side, noticing the letters becoming far more heartfelt, for want of a better word, infused with the wisdom of your higher self, more truthful, understanding of the motivations of this “other who hurt you,” where they were in their own consciousness when they did so, and you’ll be far more forgiving as a result of this new understanding.

All of these virtues exist within you, all of this strength is summoned when we practise connecting with and functioning from the heart space.

Eventually, you might find yourself writing a letter of heartfelt thanks for the experience, the lesson, and the wisdom gained.

Beyond the veil, they agreed to break your heart. You wanted them to do it. You wanted to be cracked wide open, so the light you truly are could flood right in.

But until such time as this process is complete, as you start to sit with, and rest within your broken heart, and begin to heal, knowing that you are not alone in the world.

Knowing you are very much loved.
