明我的心 and 明白我的心 have different meaning. 明我的心 is short for 表明我的心， meaning express my heart/thought. 明白我的心 means 'to understand my heart/thought'.

<p>For example, in 明心 that each can't stand alone, can it be used into 明完心 or 明了心? If not, why?</p>

You can, if you’re using it as a V.O. that means: “express one's idea”

明心 can mean:

明心 is not that common. It's often heard in 明心静气.

I haven't heard 明完心 so far. But 明了...心 is possible because 明了 [míng liǎo] is a set word meaning 'be clear about'. For example, 明了你的心 meaning I understand what you think.
