LIGHTING A PERSON'S HEART

Here are a couple of visualization techniques which work for me very well. Not everyone is able to do these, but believe me, they do work and work with quick and visible results if you have the knack. They are perhaps easiest to do when the person is actually physically visible to you, but I have also performed them at a distance with very satisfactory results.

Imagine that you are holding a beautiful pink candle that has a very bright, merry, golden or white flame. See yourself as reaching out to the person whose heart you wish to warm, and place the candle right into their heart. Withdraw your "hand", and try to keep it lit once it is there.

If it is easy to keep lit, and glows brightly, the individual is open to you and more could occur with relative ease between you; in fact, the very act of your putting it there quickens their interest in and awareness of you. They will not realize you are doing anything to them unless they happen to be extraordinarily sensitive. A strong, developed worker might be able to isolate the good feeling he or she is having and trace it back to you. I've had that happen, too. But it's very rare.

If the flame keeps extinguishing no matter what you do, or you have to fuss with it a great deal to make sure it stays lit, it is a sign that the person is not particularly open to nor particularly interested in you.

If you can't get it into him at all (think medieval turrets with heavily guarded arrow slits), the individual is so barricaded that this is not a good time to even attempt more on that level.

In the event that you are unable to have the flame stay brightly lit with ease, here is another technique that undercuts that one. This technique is useful when someone needs to be gently calmed and soothed. After this is successfully done, you can try the first technique again.

Visualize a soft and glowing cloud of warm sweet pink light over the person's head, sort of like an etheric cotton candy, very tender and gentle. Gently, smoothly and slowly, bring it over and around their head and upper body, swirling it gently in a spiral. I generally stop there and focus on the heart area, just seeing them in this cloudy light. Someone else I know brings it down to the groin and focuses it there, which gives the person a start and does promote a sexual interest in the sender, but I find it subtler at the heart. This tends to calm a person down, and disarms them a bit; in essence, it makes them feel safer.
It can be used in many situations to help establish a willingness to further relate.
