Heart chakra development tips?

[EvolvingPhoenix]

I look at myself and I see someone who's been quite self absorbed and if you go back enough, even toxic in the past.

I look at my self absorbed neediness and don't like it.

I wanna be of service to others, but I don't know if that just comes from a place of self judgement and guilt or if it comes from a sincerely opened green ray.

I want to open my heart chakra, I really do.

And I wonder if mine's really open. Sure, I'm a nice guy, but am I really loving and compassionate? Maybe sometimes...

I just find myself wondering if my heart chakra's truly open, you know? Or if I'm just a needy person with a wounded inner child?

So I'm wondering if anybody has any tips on how I can better develop my heart chakra.

I'm tearing up right now. I don't wanna be selfish.

Maybe it's this sacral chakra meditation music I've got playing in the background, I dunno.

But I swear, I want to be a more loving person.

I don't just wanna be nice. I don't just wanna behave in a manner that serves others. I want to actually BE more loving and compassionate.

Does anybody have any tips for developing my heart chakra?
