Opening Directly to the Suffering of Not Appearing

The last approach to really waking up our hearts is opening directly to the suffering of not belonging. If it feels like too much, we spend more time directly nurturing. We don't go right into where it's most painful. First we need to create the kind of warmth and space that comes from the heart practices. And then when we're ready, we can open to the vulnerability. That vulnerability can become a port to true belonging.
