Quote by Marci Shimoff

“The first doorway (or chakra) is what I call in the book, the Doorway of Safety. This doorway relates to feeling safe in life and being present in the here and now. It's only when we are really grounded and safe that we're able to relax and open up our hearts.”

When we truly take in and appreciate all of the gifts of life, then our hearts are truly open in love.”
