Well, what happens when you’ve had a bad day? Do you throw fits, become irritable and demanding? The answer is really very simple. Surprised you haven’t heard it before! Does your heart need massaging to make you feel better? More massaging brings more love into our hearts. Massaging the heart causes giggles and silly laughs that melt the problem away! Would the world be a better place with “heart massages?”
