And the way you feel is the way you think.

So opening up the heart means first of, we have to refine the mind.

People think they can ignore, bypass the mind and open their heart.

No such thing happens ever.

Refining the mind, there are many, many ways to do this.

Start looking at life with much more openness with your mind.
