We know how to do this pretty naturally with others.  Make sure that the same rules apply inside.
If you overshoot your mark and say something too harshly to yourself, say you are sorry.
If you are not paying attention to your needs, make more time for yourself.
Acknowledge your feelings and find out what you need. Use the resources of your heart.

We all have a range of emotions that feel safe, that help us identify our sense of self.  At times, we can feel something so strongly that we become absorbed.  We think we are that feeling. This absorption can be delightful or frightening, depending on the content.  Craving good feelings can be a major empowerment for growth when used correctly. It provides the strength and desire for change.  Our heart is here to support us, especially when we are in fear or anger, facing a hurt or injustice. Within the heart, we find our voice and establish a new sense of identity that is not so anchored in painful memories and knee-jerk reactions.   

Our culture trains most of us to be afraid of our power, because we might hurt someone or color outside the lines. Most of us have not had effective emotional training until now.  In this training, we learn how to be conscious in what we are feeling, becoming present within the emotional field, witnessing the fullness and emptiness, our seasons of change.  We actively support whatever we feel in the power of compassion and truth.  This allows us to increase our range of light and dark feelings, making it safe to feel, as we strengthen our nervous system and make more room to receive. It brings the right people to support our unfoldment.

Loving is easy, it is getting there that can be the challenge.  I love spontaneous combustion, where I stop thinking and filtering for a moment. The universe opens the gates and there we are, full and rich in the moment.  As great as these moments are, our real work is to cultivate a pure heart, to be love.  What is that mean?  Love registers in the body as a  warm current that moves up and down the  spine, bringing a feeling of expansion and fullness. 

You can set intentions to Be Love, that’s good.  Yet the fastest way to open is to breathe into the heart, encouraging ‘Relax and Allow'.  Your heart field, registering the permission to open, will take it from there.

Our evolutionary power unfolds in stages, depending how much we can handle.  We stabilize on whatever level we can hold. When we shift levels, we can feel very unstable until we adjust to the new feelings and perceptions of the dimension we are entering into.  In our personal world, it can feel like we are in a washing machine, in our universal space, a bright new opening.  Both are true.

Your job is to be sincere, focusing on your moments with compassion and understanding.  Develop clarity within your source, connecting daily, asking questions, being curious, realizing the deeper meaning of pain and suffering, yours and others.  We are here to build a relationship with the Divine. Start today.

We are learning the instrument of the Heart.  We acknowledge the six pointed star, the Star of David as an important activation symbol. We acknowledge the personal and universal aspects of the heart within the two triangles.  Our universal heart acts as our mentor and guide, as our personal heart makes the teachings real, generating the foundational qualities that our heart will empower.  These are equally important aspects, of upward and downward flow.  The key is balance.  At any time you are confused, call for Compassion.

So many gifts of Spirit we are.  Be grateful to your spirit, your process, your life.  When we say Thank you, we are acknowledging that what we receive is valued, it is real, that our spirit is alive and we are connected.  

Gratefulness is the fastest way to access the heart.

As I was laying on my exercise ball, stretching my spine behind the heart, breathing and opening, it dawned on me how I project my state of mind into what I do.  Often I will blame my computer or the repair man for my state of mind.  I used to do this with people more, given I was so receptive and responsible to make everyone else happy. If they are happy then I could be, my hyper-vigilant inner child would say.  This left me mostly frustrated because others did not respond fast enough to my gallant efforts.  I have been working for years to stop projecting my fear into the work.  That’s another story.

This day has given me a pure seeing moment as to how my work and world is just fine without my projections.  Be responsible to my own wellbeing, my heart clearly stated.   You may never catch up or get it perfect. If you need help, Ask your heart for Assistance.

Oil the hinges on the doors of your heart.  Make sure they work with ease and do not squeak.  We have not been trained to love unconditionally, especially to our self.  The stronghold approach opens to relationship with demands and expectations and slams shut our door when we feel hurt or misunderstood.  This is hard on the heart, so it pulls away, to the point that we may not even know we have one.  It becomes invisible and the stronghold reaction proves that love is not safe.  It gets complicated. We need to get it really simple.

Start by acknowledging love for yourself. No matter what you are feeling, offer respect, acceptance and understanding. Listen to your personality, staying open to nourishment. It is important to remember that it is not so much what you feel that is important but that you are feeling.  Acknowledging your feelings will open your awareness as you soften.  This  allows new perspective as the intensity eases.   Basically you are learning the difference between your heart and your will, often misunderstood because of the need to control.  Be Gentle and practice Acceptance. 

Notice how you identify being in the heart space, be it a feeling of fullness and warmth, empowerment and courage, a sense of being true.  Enter the deep flow, the movement of spirit that is effortless, that connects to your inner sanctuary.   As we rest even deeper,  we awaken the sense of grace. 

As we function on so many levels, we have different aspects of the self to choose from,  when we identify our sense of self.  Are there some voices more true than others?  Big Question.  So we are dealing with levels of honesty, reaction, illusion, projection, the list goes on.  So here is what we suggest.  Breathe into your heart and see what your body is feeling.  Take care of yourself first, before you engage another.  Use quiet moments to listen to yourself and feel your congruency.   Find the words that most represent the heart. Be Authentic.
