Empowering the collective heart starts with us. One of the most effective ways to strengthen our heart power is to take a couple weeks and first practice gratitude, while being conscious of whether you are really feeling it or just passing over it. This helps to amplify your heart energy. Then, practice compassion for other's hardships while watching the news or hearing about their life's situations. Also practice having more sincere kindness and patience with others, even if it's hard at times.
