Yes. But there is a catch.
When the heart chakra is open, energy constantly flows in causing it to expand. When energy flows out, it constricts, exactly as the physical heart does. A consistent cycle keeps the flow even and moving freely, allowing a healthy energy exchange. When you block the flow in either direction you risk constricting the energy and creating disease.
Many times we try to hold in the energy because we are afraid if we give too much away we will never get it back. We become hoarders of love. Conversely, we can feel compelled to give, give, give but not allow the flow to return. For whatever reason, a lack of love during our childhood, feelings of guilt, or a traumatic event, we have a need to protect ourselves and reject love from others. Either scenario causes a blockage of energy, and as the energy body affects the physical body, heart disease can set in.
Heart Disease is the result of an imbalance in the heart center. The heart center is the focal point of all of the energy systems in the entire body, so when the heart fails, so does the rest of your body. One in four people die as the result of heart disease, which means that one in four people have an imbalance in the heart center.

So here's the catch: you need to keep that open, even flow of love going.
The puppy knows that, and that's why he is entrapping you with his energy. He wants to come home with you and shower you with love. He wants you to shower him back with love. That little heart guru wants to make sure you live a healthy and happy life.
Let the love flow for the heart health of both of you.
