Welcome to this heart fire visualization for opening to love.
Begin by closing your eyes and breathing into your heart space.
Feel the gentle rising and falling of your chest with every breath.
Allow your breath to do its thing.
Letting your body breathe exactly the way it wants to breathe.
While you allow your attention to settle in your heart space.
Maybe allowing happy,
Loving memories to arise in your heart.
And feeling your heart space warming up as those memories unfold.
With each loving memory your heart grows a little bit warmer and a little bit brighter.
Until you can see in your heart space a glowing orange fire.
It's comforting and inviting like a campfire.
And now see an image of yourself sitting down before the fire warming your hands in front of it.
Basking in the soft orange glow of your heart fire.
And reminding yourself just how loving you can be.
And when you feel completely relaxed and at home in this warm space.
You might want to ask that fire to show you anything that might be keeping your heart from being fully open to love.
There's no need to force this.
Just allow the warmth of your heart fire,
This supremely safe space to show you what you need to see about your own capacity to open your heart to love.
And then keep gazing into that warm fire and notice what is there.
Is there an image that comes up?
A memory?
A message?
And if nothing is presenting itself that's okay.
You have asked a big question and sometimes big answers need to come in their own time.
If something is coming up bring all of your compassion to what is before your eyes.
Trusting that this memory,
This image,
Or this message is showing itself to you now because it is ready to be healed.
So therefore hold it close to your heart and bathe it in your compassion.
And when you are ready ask yourself another question.
What can you do to heal this?
What can you do to open up your heart as wide as the ocean?
Keep your soft gaze resting on that fire and notice what inspired idea might come to you.
Is it a gratitude practice?
A forgiveness ritual for someone who has hurt you in the past?
Is it adopting a new mantra that it is safe for you to love because your heart is ready to make wise choices?
Whatever message you are receiving lock it into your heart space and resolve to take that action when you are ready.
And now imagine that it is some time a little ways off in the future after you have done what you needed to do in order to open your heart wider.
And feel your heart fire growing even warmer as a result.
The flames are taller,
The orange is brighter,
And the heat from that fire is almost irresistible.
So irresistible in fact that off in the distance you notice that someone is being drawn to your heart fire.
You see this hazy figure making its way towards the fire.
And you feel a deep sense of comfort and familiarity as this person approaches.
Until they are sitting down across from you in front of the fire.
Warming their hands in this bonfire between you.
And now feel the warmth of their smile and their gaze as you share this moment together.
This is your beloved,
The person you have been waiting to welcome into your heart.
And they had no problem getting in because your heart was wide open.
Maybe the two of you even share a laugh about just how easy it was to come together after you both had fully opened your hearts to love.
Keep this laughter alive in your heart space remembering this feeling of comfort,
Familiarity,
And joy.
Bask in this moment fully.
And when you are ready,
Say a gentle goodbye to this beloved just for now.
And promise to keep them with you in your heart.
Begin to move your body around and allow the image of that fire to gently fade away.
And make a promise to yourself now that you will act on the messages you received in this visualization for opening your heart.
This is only the beginning of your path to love.
There is so much more unfolding for you.
When you are ready now,
Go ahead and open your eyes and come back into this moment.
