How to Open Your Heart
How to Open Your Heart 如何讓心敞開
心不需要被催促。當它感到足夠安全,自然會在自己的時序裡慢慢舒展。
Do not try to open your heart now. That would be a subtle movement of aggression towards your immediate embodied experience.
此刻,先不要急著把心打開。因為這份「想要打開它」的用力,可能已經悄悄成為一種對當下身體感受的逼迫。
Never tell a closed heart it must be more open; it will shut more tightly to protect itself, feeling your resistance.
不要要求一顆緊閉的心必須敞開。當它感受到你抗拒它現在的樣子,只會更用力地關上自己,好保護自己。
A heart unfurls only when conditions are right; your demand for openness invites closure. This is the supreme intelligence of the heart.
心只會在條件適合時,慢慢舒展。當你催促它敞開,它反而更想退回封閉之中。這正是心至高的智慧。
Instead, bow to the heart in its current state. If it's closed, let it be closed; sanctify the closure.
所以,請向心此刻的狀態俯身致意。如果它關著,就讓它關著;尊重這份封閉,也視它為神聖。
Make it safe; safe even to feel unsafe.
為它創造安全——一種即使感到不安全,也依然可以被允許、被接納的安全。
Trust that when the heart is ready, and not a moment before, it will open, like a flower in the warmth of the sun. There is no rush for the heart.
相信心有自己的時序。當它真正準備好時,它自然會敞開;不會早一刻。就像一朵花,在陽光的溫暖中自然綻放。心不需要匆忙。
Trust the opening and the closing too; the expansion and the contraction; this is the heart's way of breathing;
相信心的敞開,也相信它的閉合;相信它的舒展,也相信它的收縮。這是心呼吸的方式:
safe, unsafe, safe, unsafe;
安全,不安全;安全,不安全。
the beautiful fragility of being human; and all held in the most perfect love.
這就是身而為人,那份美麗的脆弱;而這一切,都被最完整的愛溫柔承接著。
