Many ways to open the heart... 
"The Heart: The Throne of God when open , a tomb when closed."

  I think the heart, on an emotional level, might well be described as a 
"yearning machine". Not a craven wanting machine, mind you. The 
self-aggrandizing ego plays no part, can find no foothold here for its 
nefarious agendas.  The heart knows no bitterness, and suffers much 
the same as it experiences bliss; with a kind of serene detachment. 
  Many states of being can bring about an opening of the heart. A sincere 
desire to know the will of the creator is but one. A selfless desire for  
unity 
with the One Thing that is all things- that'd probably do the trick.  
You can 
probably pop the hood on that baby with a screwdriver in one hand, and a 
frosty cold beverage in the other.  I love these quotes from Ramana: 
 
"The ‘I´ casts off the illusion of ‘I ´ and yet remains as "I". Such is  
the paradox 
of Self-realization." 
 
"The Heart is the only Reality."  Ramana evidently found the way to live  
in his 
heart on a permanent basis. I think this is what eludes many of us. It's  
an easy 
enough place to visit, until the ego leads us back to the world of  
struggle, where 
suffering seems so real.  I can  really only speak from my own  
experience- your 
mileage may vary.  Tears of joy spring directly from the heart. Follow  
them back and rest in that place...        Michael
