Setting a Boundary is an Opportunity to Increase Love

I want to share a story with you. The other day someone I dearly cared about told me that they need a little distance from me at this moment because there are too many emotions present. At the time, it felt difficult to hear and I could notice feeling rejected followed by sadness.

We have talked a couple of times since then and instead of feeling the rejection I see their need for self-care and at the same time, I see that in a way their love has expanded. By me accepting the distance that they wished for, they can now love me more fully, and I trust that times will come when we are ready to be close again.

Also this time I came back to my mantra and could slowly feel my heart expand again.

“How can I accept a new reality without closing my heart"

At another difficult time in my life, a mantra came to me with the words:

“I can move through the emotions and connect back to my heart”

However, thanks to my experience of inner work it was actually possible to keep coming back to this mantra an keep connecting with my heart.
