2 things fear closes the heart, notice when you go to fear how the heart is less accepting, forgiving, trusting. The ego jumps in to protect and then the mind give a thousand more reasons to fear and move to separation vs unity.
So when a fearful thought has taken hold find one of love to balance it.
The ego and mind are like grioves in a record. The more well worn the path the more habitual the thought will be. To change the path you must make new paths and use them.
Second forgiveness, forgivenesses is like cleaning out the garage. You make more room for love.
Sitting before or after meditation and thinking of someone even yourself and extending forgiveness for all things that may not be perfect about the being, truly offering that self compassion for their weaknesses or lack of understanding or love, will make room in you heart for the love to fill it.
Like the record you are blazing paths and even if you feel you have forgiven someone do it anyways and you will feel a lightening of that load.
Love in the heart happens naturally at its own time and when it happens it happens but we can put up barriers, old habits or patterns that can stifle it again.
These are two you can deal with conciously.
Be well
