A heart
that has been broken and seen pain, reveals within it, a crack that allows
more light in. |

Heartbreak happens to all of us and can wash over us like a
heavy rain. When experiencing a broken heart, our ethereal selves are
saturated with grief, and the overflow is channeled into the physical body.
Loss becomes a physical emptiness, and longing is transmuted into a feeling
that often cannot be put into words. Mending a broken heart can seem a task
so monumental that we dare not attempt it for fear of damaging ourselves
further. But heartbreak, like all emotions, falls under the spell of our
conscious influence. Often the pain that wounds us most deeply also leaves the most
enduring mark upon us. The shock that becomes the tender, throbbing ache of
the heart eventually leads us down the path of enlightenment, blessing our
lives with a new depth and richness. Acknowledging heartbreak's
impermanence by no means dulls its sting for it is the sting itself that
stimulates healing. The pain is letting us know that we need to pay attention
to our emotional selves, to sit with our feelings and be in them fully before
we can begin to heal. It is said that time heals all wounds. Time may dull
the pain of a broken heart, but it is fully feeling your pain and acknowledging
it that will truly help you heal. Dealing with your heartache in a healthy
way rather than putting it off for tomorrow is the key to repair. Gentleness
more than anything else is called for. Most important, open yourself to the
possibility of loving, trusting, and believing again. When, someday soon, you
emerge from the cushion of your grief, you will see that the universe did not
cease to be as you nursed your broken heart. You emerge on the other side of
the mending, stronger for all you have experienced. |
