Love is where the Heart is. And, this means it is everywhere and in everything.
The space of the heart is difficult if not impossible to describe. But, I will do my best at doing so as numerous others have attempted. What I refer to is far beyond the physical organ and function of what we typically understand the heart to be. What I am referring to is the spiritual heart, the true essence of who we are, and if I am so bold, I will also include the soul in this definition. It is the sensed perception of ourselves, how we know we indeed exist. But what is this space?
It is present before and after our thoughts pass, so it cannot be our thoughts. However, it does not exclude them either. All can come to be- thoughts, feelings, sensations- without us needing to change or exclude anything. No matter what manifests into being, the soul or unchanging part of oneself remains. The spiritual heart stays the same. So, what of the boundaries of this space- and I use "space" loosely.
Can we feel the boundary; can we see it; can we know it within ourselves? Is the boundary of the heart contained in the body? Is it something that is beyond the body? As we go about our lives, feeling the emotions we do, we can simply start to observe. And, why does it matter for us to know if there is a boundary or not?
Ultimately, it doesn't change anything, as the limitless space of the spiritual heart contains everything whether we attune to it or not. The value and potentially life changing discovery we can make is we are not separate from life and others. If the heart space has no boundaries, then life and the potential for happiness is also limitless. Freedom is available Now, in the open heart of our very own awareness. And, all we need to do is let our own hearts guide us home.
