Heal Your Most Precious Relationships
Feel open and connected with yourself and the people you love
When your heart is open you feel at ease and you experience the best of what human life has to offer. Trust is your natural state of being, life feels benign and you're relaxed and at peace with yourself.
It doesn’t take much for your heart to close down – an insult, a hurtful comment, a misunderstanding, an event that triggers something painful from the past. And you may stay closed for a long time.
This is the way resentment and disappointment build up over the years and turn into bitterness and regret. “She’s never going to change,” or “He’s always been the same so I can’t expect anything else now.”
Of course, you can keep on standing up again and again, hurt but refusing to be broken. You become tougher and harden yourself against the pain and constant disappointment. Alternatively, you can escape into spirituality and try to meditate the pain away. Or you can slip into depression and hopelessness. Or you can be relentlessly positive, but beneath the surface, you're hurting more than you dare to admit.
What’s most exciting right now is that more and more people are becoming aware that turning away from relationships doesn’t solve any of the problems, and that you need to face up to your own responsibility in any relationship that is not working.
There's a process for opening your heart, which you can follow step by step, and it actually works. It transforms relationships without you even needing to talk to the other person.
When you truly open your heart, especially where it looked like there was no hope of reconciliation, it's transformative not only for yourself but for everyone else around you.
In this course, called Open Your Heart, I've been truly impressed at the courage of participants in facing up to relationships that have been surrounded by confusion, deception and struggle, and hurting sometimes for 20 or more years. The release and relief that arise when you understand why this was happening to you is hard to imagine until you experience it.
You can follow the process over and over again, with all the relationships in your life that have ever troubled you, and you'll start to experience a level of peace that you may never have known before.
The more peace you experience within yourself the more you'll find that people are behaving peacefully towards you. And that creates space for you to love and be loved in a way that is only possible when your heart is open.

As your contentment and ease grow your health will naturally improve. You will no longer be pumping negative chemicals through your body with thoughts of bitterness, anger, resentment, despair or disappointment.
The emotional balance that arises will help you work more effectively and efficiently (less wasted time and less mistakes) and if you have your own business you can expect increased income and success as a result.
These are rich rewards for a process that is intrinsically simple. Anyone can do it, as long as you're willing to be honest with yourself.
At times you may want to run away and not face your own part in the situation, but if you stick to it the discomfort will dissolve remarkably quickly and then transform.
You'll feel lighter and you'll see people differently. You won’t want to blame others for your pain any more and this will give you freedom as you take back your power and take full responsibility for your own life.
