Heart wall

What is Heart wall? In simple terms is a protection we build around our heart to not get hurt there anymore. Let me explain, you see, when you go through life and there is an event, let’s say interaction with someone you trust, and they say or do something that hurts you deep down inside, that’s when your subconscious triggers a defence mechanism to protect you from being hurt again. And what do you do when you want to protect something? You add a layer of protection around something you are protecting. And that is what our subconscious is doing, it adds a layer of protection around our heart, seems good right? Kind of, you see that protection works both ways: to stop things to get in and get out as well. You’ve probably heard about cold hearted people, or description: you have heart of stone etc. to describe those who lost their ability to express emotions like love or compassion.

As you go through life new layers are being added whenever you get hurt strong enough – just to protect what’s dear to you: you heart. And as a consequence, you limit your ability to communicate and interact with the world through heart, you are less intuitive and closed for intimate and loving relationship. After all there is a reason why we use heart as a symbol of loving relationship.

Think of it in this way: when your heart is behind a wall, your subconscious is “broadcasting” a message to those around you: “I’m closed to a relationship”. And if you’re looking for a loving relationship, unlocking your heart is a great place to start.

FAQ

Heart wall is a protection around our heart which we build unconsciously. Anytime someone hurts us there, our unconscious adds another layer of protection so we don’t get hurt again. Unfortunately, as a side effect that protection acts as a barrier for our heart, preventing it from feeling and communicating with outside world.

We create heart wall unconsciously to protect ourselves from hurtful feeling. That includes heart ache, disappointment or sadness to name a few. Those hurting feelings are usually related to relationships.

Heart wall’s purpose is to protect our heart from getting hurt in relationships, and it serves its purpose when we go through tough times. Often, we begin to build it in childhood, and it grows as we go through life. When we are adults we know better, we know how to protect ourselves better. We don’t need layers of protection we developed in childhood, while someone broke our toy etc. We want to love and be loved. And a heart wall prevents us from fully experiencing that.

From my experience, unfortunately most of us have it. If you haven’t done work on it, you most likely have it. We can always check and go from there.

If you struggle in relationships, or finding a great matching partner, removing a heart wall is a great start. Removing a heart wall will help you to communicate better on conscious and unconscious level.
