How To Open Your Heart

Opening Saturday School with Robin Trace Bell

Rob announces the launch of Saturday School, a monthly event co-hosted with his son, Trace. They aim to provide a new starting point for self-discovery and awareness, emphasizing unity and connectivity. The sessions will involve teachings, Q&A, and discussion groups based on the lessons shared. The content will be an integration of Robin's teachings and Trace's perspectives, offering a transformative view on life and humanity.

Exploring the Heart as the Center of Being

Rob delves into the concept of the heart as the center from which everything flows in ancient Hebrew wisdom. The heart is described as the place of feeling, memory, and deep consciousness. Beliefs, convictions, and stories are believed to flow from the heart, shaping one's perception of reality. By understanding the heart as the integrated center of being, one can embrace paradox, hold different emotions simultaneously, and access a more harmonious and fuller experience of life.

Overcoming Resentment and Opening to Goodness

Resentment and entitlement are identified as emotional barriers that close the heart. Rob emphasizes the need to make peace with the risks inherent in life and let go of entitlement. He highlights the essential goodness in every experience and encourages embracing the infinite possibilities of each moment. By recognizing that everyone is telling a story, one can be more open and compassionate towards others, while also analyzing their own narrative and language patterns. Opening the heart involves seeing the beauty and potential amidst the turmoil and complexity of life.

Living with an Open Heart: Integration and Abundance

Living with an open heart requires integration of one's intellect, emotions, attitudes, and actions. Rob discusses how an open heart allows for the coexistence of different impulses and capacities. It involves moving beyond cynicism, competition, and scarcity, and towards abundance and generativity. By acknowledging people's conditioning and understanding their responses, one can cultivate empathy and compassion. Opening the heart involves embracing an expansive worldview, being willing to experience a range of emotions, and living with a deep sense of gratitude and awe for the inherent goodness of life.
