Can your heart really “melt”?

What does that mean? Isn’t that just some cute and catchy phrase someone dreamed up? Or could there really be some frozen inner river within us?

Some years ago, if you had tried to describe to me an experience about “heart melting”… I would have assumed you were missing a couple of rungs from your ladder.  The heart? Melting?  No way!

Sure, we may talk about people having a “melt down” during some personal crisis, but it never crossed my mind there might be anything more than over emotionalism involved.

Before my own experiences, I dismissed all such claims as nonsense. I had no idea encounters of this depth were conceivable, let alone possible. But experience… changes everything.  The reality and power of this spiritual tsunami blew me away.  I couldn’t stand or speak for tears of wonder.

Many hours later, they had to carry me out.  For months, I wept for joy.  And of course, a part of me was whispering that I ought to be embarrassed by such extremes, but who responds to fear when Love floods your soul and spirit?

About a year later… still shocked, enthralled, and humbled—I mulled over the issue of credibility.

Better than… sex? Who’s going to believe that? And how could I describe what it feels like when decades of bad memories, emotional wounds, and disillusionments were thawed right out of my emotional core, like gravel released from a melting block of ice?

My reservations were hardly diminished as I thought about how some of the attorneys I work with might respond. As a successful litigation consultant, I have had many high-profile clients, including Al Gore’s attorney, David Boies. I tried to imagine his reaction to this account. Would he understand, or simply dismiss me as delusional, thinking, “Hey, never use that expert witness again!” Could I explain these encounters with sufficient clarity and honesty? Credibility is not only paramount among attorneys and other professionals but is usually the first casualty when profoundly significant but inexplicable things happen to us.

And how on earth could I communicate what others might need to know in order to be set free in the same way?
