Do a grounding meditation first. Repeat this exercise whenever your heart feels shut down. It may be useful to do over a number of days. You can use this to come to a more loving state with yourself.

• Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Begin to breathe slowly and deeply. Relax your shoulders and forehead. Open your wings.
• Sense the presence of your angel. Feel it sitting in the chair facing you. Feel your angel breathing with you, opening its wings to you.
• Bring your attention to your heart and feel it beating in the center of your chest. Place your hands on it and feel it pulsing for a few minutes. Continue to breathe slowly and deeply with your angel.
• Tune in to the feelings in your heart that you want to heal. Allow yourself to experience them fully.
• Sense your angel’s heart, directly across from your own. See and feel it pulsing with a warm, joyful light.
• Out of this pulsing light that is your angel’s heart, a ray of light begins to shine forth, beaming directly toward your heart. It is a warm, wonderful light. Notice what color it is. Feel that light beaming into your heart, warming and filling it.
• As your heart fills with this light, the walls of your heart and each of the four chambers are glowing. The light moves into all the wounded places in your heart, melting your protective armor, healing old heart wounds.
• If there is anyone you need to forgive, beam out this light to them. Picture the person receiving the healing light.
• Let the light within you work to melt the specific feelings that you’ve been holding and bring you to a place where you can forgive yourself for any pain you’ve caused others.
• Let this light pour out of your heart and fill your entire body. It is the light of angelic love, and you are now infused with it. It overflows and spills out of your body, surrounding you in a radiant cocoon of light.
• Thank your angel for its gift of healing love. Be aware of your breathing and of yourself sitting in the chair. Gently open your eyes.
