Most of us are excellent givers, and as such can give love very easily. For many, it's difficult to learn how to receive love as well as give. Some may feel that they aren't worthy of such an incredibly beautiful gift as love, and must learn to love themselves before they can begin to recognize the love that is coming their way.

Broken hearts are sometimes difficult to mend. In All-Chakra Tantra, we learn how to heal these wounds by going to the heart of the matter. Core issues block our abilities to give and receive love, and to recognize love when love shows in our lives. When we open to love, we realize the more we love the more we can love.

We all need love. Love is why we are here in this planet. Love is all there is. Most women must feel love before they can open their sexual centers and make love. Once women open their sexual chakras and make love, they begin to fall more in love. Men must have sex first before they feel they can trust the woman and it's safe enough to fall in love. What a dilemma! However, when lovers surrender to the process of love and making love, then love blossoms and they both bloom. It's as simple as that

EMOTIONAL RESPONSES: Feeling attacked by life, feeling like they are out to get me, desperate, tired of life, fear, smothering love, unable to breathe for oneself, feeling stifled, suppression of tears.

PHYSICAL AFFECTS: Bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, congestion, influenza, functional heart conditions and certain chest conditions, asthma, cough, difficult breathing, shortness of breath, pain in lower arms and hands, hypreventilation.

AREAS AFFECTED: Thymus (master gland of the immune system), lungs, bronchial tubes, pleura, chest, breast, heart, valves and covering, coronary arteries, arms from the elbows down, hands, wrists, fingers, esophagus and trachea.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: When a person develops shallow breathing patterns as a defense against feelings, the diaphram and surrounding muscles tend to contract and rigidify forming an inflexible band of tension around the lungs. This tension encourages a state of low-grade anxiety. A caved in chest, humped over posture, left shoulder slightly rotated forward are postures assumed to guard and protect the heart by minimizing the flow of feelings and energy.

Some overcompensate by blowing up their chest area to feel tough, strong and powerful, not allowing the love in. They may be assertive, manly and have an attitude of "I’m ok, don’t bother me".
