depressive downside of a heart expansion will not be so extreme. You may not be
able to run during a heart expansion, but run on those days that your heart is more
normal, in order to condition both the heart itself and the brain toward more yang
chemistry and mastery.
As the Solar Heart grows, during a peak heart expansion you might notice waves
of intense physical heat coming off your heart...along with full-body heating.
Simultaneous with this heart-wave heat I also had intense heat arising from my
shoulder joints. That day I ate some cooked peanuts and the next morning my
shoulder joints were painful. So I recommend you stay clear away from cooked,
processed or damaged fats during the extreme heating periods of heart expansions,
or active kundalini in general. For these fats just add to the oxidative load and
contribute to inflammation—not transformation. As a general rule the hotter the
kundalini heat we are experiencing, the more careful we have to be to not include
cooked carbohydrates or transfats in our diet, and to increase our antioxidant
intake.
“Inner harmony requires a person to think with the heart as well as to feel with the
brain.” Maria Szepes, The Magic of Everyday Life
