The system of blood moving through our bodies carrying oxygen to our cells and allowing us to live is known as circulation.  Not only does it define the flow but the word itself means to move circularly.  The pattern of functioning means blood is always circling back to the heart.  Yet each of these blood cells has within it a nucleus known as the brain of the cell.  Aside from its task of transport, what energetic signature might be circulating through your body?  If you are carrying within you feelings and thoughts that impact your heart, those messages get carried to the whole of your body.  Our blood to and from our heart is moving within the physical body with the energetic signature of our emotional and mental body.  Knowing we cannot block experiences and ideas from affecting us it would be mindful of us to process what we are dealing with so we can continue circulating that which gives life.  It does not mean never to be upset or down. It does not mean always be happy.  It means allow for the flow of life to flow through us.   Allowing all of life’s experiences to flow through our hearts means it can aid us in flowing with life without getting too attached to thoughts or feelings or pushing them down or making them wrong.  If we notice them and allow ourselves to experience them fully by circulating them through our being, we can expand our awareness of what it means to live fully.  If we invite our hearts to do what they do in circulating life through us, we may find ourselves more open to all of what is possible instead of shutting things down out of fear.  This is a step by step process, at least for me.  Before I got into recovery my willingness and capacity to handle feelings was limited to feeling uncomfortable, making myself wrong for having them or blaming myself for being too sensitive, and stuffing things down.  There was no interest or capacity to allow the circulating nature of my heart to engage.  I was too busy trying to keep my heart safe by keeping it under lock and key.  On my daily date with God, I have bit by bit opened myself up to the circulating power of the heart to allow for what is to come and go.  I can trust if my heart seems to recirculate the same thoughts and feelings, something is inviting me to take a closer look. I can trust the circulating of my heart because I am not alone with it. God is always in my heart with me.
