It's nice when slow-poke scientists start to catch up with what metaphysical people have known for aeons. (I always feel like going, "Well, duh!" when I read one of these articles.) You'll see in the article referenced below that scientists have "discovered" something important about the heart. When someone experiences great grief, as in a romantic breakup, and they are suffering from a "broken heart," they have an increased risk of physical heart problems. Most of the effects are reversible, but chest pains, racing heart, and so forth are common by-products of a broken heart. This is because stress causes excess adrenalin to be released into the heart, messing around with its electrical systems and hampering its functionality.

The words "broken heart" actually come from the metaphysical paradigm. Clairvoyants can see when someone's heart chakra, the energy wheel that transmits energy to and from the heart, is damaged. This can happen whenever someone experiences deep, heart-wrenching grief, such as through the loss of a spouse or child, a divorce, or even losing a job. Just imagine what the recent tsunami survivors are going through or the civilians in Iraq who have to deal with bombs going off in their neighborhoods every other minute. The soldiers, too, are in pretty bad shape. The real casualties of war aren't the mangled bodies that come home in a casket. They are the mangled psyches and damaged heart chakras of the veterans who manage to get out alive. It's been so with every war humans have ever waged. *Sigh.*

I've worked on healing people with cracked heart chakras. I've experienced a cracked heart chakra myself and had debilitating physical heart problems from it, all which reversed themselves after I received metaphysical forms of healing. Imagine going from having severe chest pains so bad you could hardly walk or work for two years to finally being free of them, with your doctor doing heart scans and finding no signs of damage. That was me. That IS me.

The body has amazing capacities to heal itself, but you have to understand the energy that feeds the body to really shift things around. The physical body reflects energy patterns that are set up in the chakras, the auric field, and the meridians. Shift these around, free up trapped energy, clear out blockages, and health is quickly restored.

When you are involved with someone romantically, your energy bodies don't just link up, they become partially fused. So it's like you have a shared energy body. What happens when two people break up is that this shared energy body is flapping around, going through a sudden and dramatic change, floundering about as it tries to form itself into two separate energy bodies again. Imagine a chicken with its head cut off (apologies to the Fortune Chicken!) and you'll have an accurate image.

This shared energy body goes through an amputation when the two people who created that energy body suddenly decide to go their separate ways. It takes time for that shared energy body to "regrow" into two distinct energy bodies again. It doesn't do this overnight. So that's why it can take a year or more to heal from a big breakup. Your energy body gradually reforms into a singular energy body again and gradually disconnects or "decords" from the other person. This process can be slowed down if you are still interacting a lot with the other person, negotiating settlement on a divorce, dealing with child custody issues, and other matters. Every time you interact with your "ex" you are temporarily restimulating that shared energy body, breathing new life into it. But most of the time, it won't come back to full life, and it's best to move on.

In the meantime, all kinds of data keeps transmitting itself through the remnants of that shared energy body. So if the person starts sleeping with somebody else, it's as if YOU are plugged into that other person with those shared energy bodies. And THAT doesn't feel good. You naturally respond to this as an extreme personal violation, and most people experience a deep sense of anger or sorrow. This can be happening even when, all the while, you're trying to tell yourself, "It's fine that we've broken up. We'll just be friends."

Bull poop. You need to back away from the person you've split from and do some healing. Until you are back to experiencing your own, single, energy body again, you're still going to be unconsciously linked into that person and plugging into everything THEY'RE doing. And that's incredibly painful if the person has gone on to get sexually involved with a new person.

I have a lot of information about this that I will be posting up ahead and in future books. In the meantime, reading this article about the medical consequences of having a broken heart might be helpful. This is real stuff, folks! The heart is the physical center of the soul, and when it's damaged or wounded, it's easy to get spiritually off track and head into all manner of dark behaviors and experiences. So learning to honor the incredible energy of the heart is really, really, important.

The heart rules. And it's up to each one of us to learn how to take care of her. (You can talk to your heart, you know. Try it. You'll soon learn that she is female.)
