When an open heart implies chaos

[AnthroHeart]

Well, everyone is different. If you have upper chakras mastered you should have guidance and guides you can ask.

Ask to be shown what is "yes" and what is "no". You may get feelings for each, or see images that represent each.

Then once you have your reference, you can ask your guidance.

But make sure you are grounded. I like to envision a rope with 5 knots hanging from my root chakra into the Earth.
The knots represent lower chakras, below our root.

Without stepping into the higher centres, and with an imbalanced root, jist generally speaking, do you think it's liberating to work on the heart?

I've learned not to chase a feeling. Lower centers are important I believe. Work on them all together. Not just the heart.
But ask your own guidance too. It will know better than I do.
