Keeping Your Heart Closed To Yourself

The root cause to all your dissatisfying relationships begins self. You cannot expect to enjoy truly rewarding relationships with others if you do not first have a good relationship with yourself. You cannot completely love, trust or forgive others if you cannot heal internally.
Your heart is bolted with locks that distance you from feelings. Your defense mechanism kicks in because you have previously been subjected to excessive pain, suffering and fear. In protecting yourself, you now put up a shield. You pretend that everything is fine, hiding the intense pain you feel inside. You put on a mask.
When your heart is shut, it is difficult to experience warmth. Your energy is dense, heavy and cold. A look in the mirror reveals a closed appearance. Your eyes show no joy, your arms are folded and your behavior is contrived. You are disconnected.
