Softening the restrictions or tensions in our heart, as a result..our electromagnetic field flowers open, and is amplified. The untangling of the restriction , can also lead to an opening of our circulatory pathways and the moving of blood. A great relief of disharmony, accessible joy, a greater sense of wholeness through the union of earth and heaven through the heart space , and vulnerable expression from the heart can emerge with more ease.
