The openness that exists in our hearts is a profound sign of the power of love.  Our hearts are the first things to go into lock down when we feel threatened and hurt. Picture a wounded animal crouched over and slumped.  Is it any wonder that the world is full of people who don’t stand up straight or walk with confidence?  It would leave their heart exposed and vulnerable.  It is no mistake that even as a life long dancer I have had to work to consciously carry myself with my shoulders back and open and stand and walk in a confident posture.  On a subconscious level I did not want my heart to be fully available and exposed.  I had been hurt too many times.  As I sit upright in my meditation posture on my date with God I learn to teach my body to be available with an open heart to the love of God.  As that availability grows I learn that I need not be hunched over to protect my heart because God is within and around it at all times.  Being available does not mean exposure, it means a willingness to be love and grow in love one day at a time.
