The natural shield around the Heart,
the Pericardium,
provides
besides the physical protection
also an emotional barrier
so that negative,
hurtful forces
cannot damage the Heart.
When we are very small
and vulnerable
this protection is so needed
because
we do not have
any personal power.
We are small,
we cannot push people away
and we have no voice that can tell people
no.
This is where Pericardium will provide
us with its shielding powers
so the heart can grow up
without too much damage.
What we forget
is to help transform Pericardium
from sometimes being
as thick
as a steel
or concrete wall
into a manageable protector
that with the help transform our voice and the power we show,
into a functional,
flexible barrier that still protects
but is now able to let
love in
or
let love shine out.
A steel door will be unable
to let your love show,
let alone
being able to let other people love in.
