Heart chakra development tips?

[Tae]

I spent some time questioning if my heart was really as open as I thought it was, and then spent a bunch of time meditating on it and blasted it open and I can now sense the heart energy quite powerfully. If you don't feel like it's open, it probably isn't, aligning myself with my heart was energetically clear that is was what I did. You're thinking about it, which should make it easier to align with over time; you are hearing the call, you're responding to the call, don't doubt your love. The trick seems to be to balance it so you love yourself and others the same amount, viewing everyone as your other-self in the fine tradition of this material.
