If I were allowed
only one sentence to address you, it would be: “Follow Your Heart!”
Your Heart holds the
wisdom and the truth of your essence. Your hearts knows no “should”s and
“ought to”s. Your Heart has the purity of highest intent, as it is the
vehicle for the Love of Spirit. Your Heart wants a job that gives you
fulfillment, even when your Ego (your mind) wants a job that gives you
“prestige”. Your Heart wants a relationship / partnership that brings
you love and joy, even when your Ego wants a relationship that brings
you social status. While Ego wants clothing that creates an image, your
Heart wants clothes that keep you warm, comfortable and beautiful to
your own eyes. Your Heart wants you to spend 100% of your time with
total joy, doing that which brings you joy, and pleasure, and
fulfillment, even when your Ego shouts at you a string of orders of
things you better be doing, or else!
Your Ego lives in a
continuous horror story, in which terrible things can, and will happen,
so you better watch out, ‘cause you’re in danger. The Ego speaks of
threats, and wants you to worry. When you act out in the Ego’s way, you
do things based in fear – the fear of what will happen if you don’t do
those things. In the long run, this can cause a shutdown of your system,
with physical manifestations that can be felt in your physical heart.
Remember the saying “She died of a broken heart?” Many times I find, in
my foot analysis sessions that precede holistic reflexology, a distinct
line crossing the corresponding spot on the foot that represents the
heart. I always ask whether there is a heart situation with the person
or the person’s family, or whether there has been a “broken heart” in
the past. Most of the times the tears come in the person’s eyes, as they
tell of a painful separation that left them heartbroken. To me, the
separation is more than just from a loved person, or being, or place: it
is a separation from the person’s own Heart.
Your Heart is walking
you through a fairy tale in which all is possible: you are all you wish
to be, and you do all you desire to do, without limitations, without
worries or doubts, all in perfect harmony, freedom and peace. When you
follow your Heart’s desire, you act on Love. When you act on Love, you
open yourself to your divine essence, allowing flow in all your being
and existence, finding yourself in perfect health and wellness.
If you commit to the
truth to your own Heart, Heaven of Earth is promised to you. But you
need to pay attention to your Heart’s desire at each moment! You
Heart might desire an event or a situation for a while, and then, when
the situation has ceased to serve its purpose, your Heart might desire
something else. Unlike your Ego, your Heart lives in the NOW, free from
attachments. You Heart is perfectly attuned to the Now Age and
the new energies arriving to the Planet at each moment. It wants you to
flow with the change, and ride the wave, to update and upgrade yourself
with ease and flexibility. Your Heart wants you to check with it each
moment: “Do I want to be here now?” or “do I want to be with this
group now?” or “do I want to use this healing modality now?”
or “do I want this relationship now?”. Sometimes the answer is
“yes”, sometimes the answer was “yes” until a while ago, but not
anymore. If you decide to follow your Heart and its Truth, you’ll easily
release the old that ceased to serve a purpose, and “upgrade” it, or
release it with Love, and make room for the energy that is congruent
with who you are now. Beware of criticizing or complaining about
that which ceased to serve a purpose. Rather than giving your power away
to it, be grateful for all that it served you so far, since this event
or relationship or place or situation brought you to where you are
now. So check with dear Heart, and if this is your Heart’s desire,
let go of the old in gratitude and love, and then move on.
How do you check for
your Heart’s desire? Simple: listen to your body, for the answers are
being given to you through your body. Close your eyes, and ask the
question: “Do I want to be in this situation now? (stay in this
job, attend this class, meet this person[s], live in this house etc)”.
Wait for a sensation in your body. A “no” will feel like an
uncomfortable contracting of muscles, maybe in your stomach or around
your heart, or an unpleasant change of temperature; it is all very
individual. A “yes” may feel like warmth, or like a pleasant cocoon of
loving energy surrounding you, making you feel safe. I took my driver’s
license last year, at the glorious age of 40. New behind the wheel, new
in the city, palms sweaty with terror, I was asking: “Do I want to drive
now?” My Ego was saying “Are you crazy? Are you trying to
get yourself killed? Stay in the passenger’s seat, where it’s
nice and safe!”
But there was this
warm, fuzzy feeling surrounding my body, tingling in my palms, telling
me I’d be fine. My Heart wants me to drive myself to independence – and
I do!
My dear Hearts: you
“listen” to my words, and may be wondering why do you still give in to
Ego. Please, stop kicking yourself for that. The process of healing and
awakening to one’s essence is a journey, and it does not happen
overnight. The first step is to recognize with full awareness that which
is your Heart’s desire. Next is to place Intent, and then to work on
following more and more of your Heart’s desire, gradually, allowing
yourself time to integrate the new You at each moment; no hurry, no
rush, but with love and self-acceptance. Just like The Master Within
that You Are.
See you on the
Queensway…
