Thank you for adhering to these four very simple rules.
That is an interesting phrase, "The heart of the matter" one
that I believe holds a very useful clue for those manifesting
a consciously designed life. "Barbara Brennan":
http://www.barbarabrennan.com describes the heart chakra as
being the bridge to the spiritual world where we enter into a
relationship with the spiritual realms beyond our physical body.
When you look at this conversely the heart chakra can be viewed
as the bridge over which spirit can move into our physical
world; where spirit becomes matter. So the heart or heart chakra
could truly be the heart of the matter.
What if you've never heard of a chakra? It matters not! Whether
you believe in such an energetic physiology really makes no
difference but the awareness of such a construct may be useful
to you as a focus for visualisation and increasing felt sense.
The results are more useful than the theory.
There is an old saying "The heart asks no questions and the mind
has no answers" and I have found this to be true for me. My mind
can analyse and gnaw at a problem or situation indefinitely and
produce a host of differing scenarios or possibilities. Many
logical, rational, outcomes spring to mind but which to choose?
Which is the best course of action or inaction? I have found
that when you "listen" to your heart as well as your mind you
really can learn to trust that the workings of life do support
you. All that is required is clear intention and practice.
*HOW?*
Practice feeling your heart; make it your intention to develop
the felt sense of your heart, a simple choice, no pressure and
no demand. Just say to yourself I now choose to feel my heart or
heart chakra. Breathe in and with that in breath draw your
conscious awareness to that place in your chest where you feel
your heart to be.
I feel this a as warm glow within that is immensely comforting.
At first you may feel little or nothing even but do not be
"disheartened" keep practicing. Think of a loved one or a very
happy time that you can recall and draw that into the awareness
of your heart. With practice you will be able to connect here
with ease and simply rest in that moment, in the warmth of your
heart. You will know when you touch in to this sense as you will
feel great warmth, peace and contentment. This feeling may be
fleeting at first but keep playing; these fleeting moments will
steer your course and keep you on target.
Once you have this sense developed to some degree you can then
start bringing your decisions or problems here for
clarification. You could imagine dragging and dropping computer
style. Click on one of your potential choices in your head (Any
choice, it does not have to be life changing) and then with your
imaginary mouse pointer drag and drop it onto your heart and see
how that feels.
Does it "lift" your heart or does it "lower" your heart? Do you
feel more or less content? It is oh so subtle but yet it can
also be so clear in amongst all the other emotions that may be
present if you are making a difficult choice. Use your intention
and direct your focus towards feeling not thinking. I am writing
this from that heart centred place in me. You can allow the
energy of my connection to lift your felt sense of your heart in
this moment as you read this.
Be kind to yourself and practice with low stress daily tasks such
as, what to eat, when to rest, who to call etc.
I find this technique a guiding force and the “heart of the
matter”, living a heart centred life. When you bring your mind,
your heart and your actions into alignment then life changes.
You move with the world and the world moves with you. There is
way less struggle and way more ease because you are feeling
safe, feeling the fullness of your heart; abundant and whole.
