Happy New Year! As 2023 ended, I reflected on my year and my clients’, identifying themes to gain and share higher wisdom.
I also worked with my Spirit Team in prayer and meditation to identify a collective focus. Everywhere I looked, the answer came in strong – 2024 calls for an open heart.
When our heart energy is blocked, it limits us. We see things from more of a black-and-white perspective. We lean towards having to be right, and someone being wrong. We care more about the result than the journey. We miss opportunities, the chance to help someone, or the chance to heal. We spend our sacred time in ego, worry, and fear.
If you’re reading this, you’re heart-centered, and there’s a good chance you’re an empath, and a helper, a caregiver, and a beacon of love and light to many. Thank you for this and thank you for being YOU.
Sometimes, as heart-centered beings, it’s easy for us to think our heart is as open as it can be, but we can all have blind spots and close off our hearts without realizing it, almost as a way of protecting ourselves. After all, the world is heavy.
To fully embrace everything 2024 has in store – the possibilities, the growth, the lessons, and the magic – we all (including me) need to get more curious about how we can open our hearts just a tad more. That way, we can increase our love and understanding, leading to more acceptance, openness, energy, and connection with everything around us – nature, Spirit, family, friends, strangers, and more.
To help keep your heart chakra open, especially when times get tough, I put together a list of considerations to help guide you. Practice what feels right to you.
- Cultivate curiosity. Asking questions, actively listening, and learning new things lead us to a space of exploration and openness. Learning about others’ lived experiences and discovering new perspectives humbles us.
- Embrace forgiveness. Extend forgiveness to yourself and others. Recognize, from a deep place, that we all come into this world with different obstacles, diverse life paths, and complex soul contracts. Let go of heavy emotions that obstruct the flow of lighter, positive emotions.
- Foster opportunities for profound love. For example, immerse yourself in a moving and emotional novel, volunteer at a women’s shelter, or create special moments with your grandmother, children, or friends. During these moments, be vulnerable. Allow yourself to feel all the feels, speak your truth, and engage in deep conversations about pain, dreams, and everything in between.
- Work on nurturing the mind-body-soul connection of your heart chakra. Develop a gratitude practice. Incorporate chest-strengthening and stretching exercises into your routine. As much as you can, place your hands on your heart, symbolizing self-love.
- Have faith in the God of your choosing. Remind yourself that chaos and adversity serve a purpose, working for our highest good. Hold onto the fierce belief that, despite challenges, love always prevails.
Sessions with Spirit offer another beautiful way to help keep your heart open. An intuitive coaching or psychic mediumship session allows you to receive loving energy from Spirit and gain heartfelt messages and advice. It would be my honor to make a Spirit connection for you, either via Zoom/Phone or at my beautiful Tampa office at Nature’s Oak Wellness Center.

Sincerely,

PS – For the coming year and beyond, here’s an affirmation to rely on, especially in times when you find yourself closing off your heart, “I courageously choose to maintain an open heart, for keeping my heart open keeps me connected to my greatest me, my full power and potential, and that of the Universe.”
PPS – Would you like to explore more ways to bring an open heart to 2024? If so, grab your pen and journal. Reflect on a specific moment in 2023 where you felt your heart was most open. What contributed to that openness, and how can you carry those elements into 2024?
