I love this heart healing meditation.
Heart Healing
Place your own healing hands on your own broken heart
with the gentleness and with exquisite care
the care you would afford
a tiny frozen bird
you found
there on your doorstep.
With your gentle healing hands
speak in your touch
of warmth and love
of your desire to make whole
what once was broken,
of your desire and your will
to right what once was wronged.
Whisper softly,
I will do
what I can
for you,
my little love.
Fear not.
I am here for you.
For sure, I am no angel
but what I have to give,
I give to you.

How to mend the broken heart?
Most break-ups happen after Christmas, some couples survive past Valentine's Day because it might be less painful to deal with the loss. However, parting, no matter when, is painful. Here are the strategies, I believe, that can help to those who are trying to feel less pain.
Yes, it is healthy to sit around, brood and moan and feel sorry for yourself for at least a week. But then decision must be made of how to get you feeling functionally easy going again. If you want to hold off on antidepressant fill your life with "logical" good for you things and just do it. If points 1, 2, 3 & 4 won't work, go straight to 5--get on antidepressant! It will make your life easier!
1. Live your life logically, at least for the time being. Exercise, eat well, go to bed at the same time. Just force yourself to go through the routine motions. Make written schedule of things to do, force yourself. Fight for feeling of easy being.
2. Fill up your social calendar with activities and just do it even if you don't feel like it. We are social animals and being around others gives you perspective on life. Everyone else is fighting some sort of battle which makes you realize not only you have drama in life.
3. If you are a parent, help your child. Helping your child is like putting seeds into the soil and watering them. Whatever you plant and tend to will grow. Seeing positive growth in your children will make you happier. "Significant other" men & women may come and go, but your most important role is of a parent (at least at this point in your life).
4. Everything passes. Realize that day after day, month after month and year after year will pass. Time is the best remedy for any sort of ache (physical or mental).
5. Get on antidepressant. Yes, I know, it is very much not like me, but sometimes it is the best option. Especially if you tried psychotherapy, exercising, yoga, meditation, natural supplements, relaxation for a while but you still feel gut wrenching angst. It may take few weeks for it to work, in the meantime use points 1, 2, 3 & 4 to get you to feel better.

How to stay healthy throughout the year
Do you want to be "colds" free? Then take Source Naturals Wellness Formula Herbal Defense Complex supplements.
During my studies to be family nurse practitioner & many hours of rotations in the hospital, I was sick all the time. One day a classmate recomended taking Herbal Defense Complex. It was a miracle. It has been years since I have been sick (knock on wood), despite my almost daily exposure to all kinds of "bugs" my patients bring to the clinic.
I strongly recommend taking the supplement (as directed, of course & with a prior approval of your medical provider). I strongly believe that it will make you less likely to get a cold and if you have one, it will get you better quicker!
