Be In Your Heart

“If my heart could do my thinking, and my head begin to feel, I would look upon the world anew, and know what’s truly real.”
​— Van Morrison

Be in your heart. How often have we heard that advice or something similar? But what does it mean? What does being in your heart look like? Can we even approach being in our heart with the analytical mind? Maybe not.

So what does it feel like?

It feels like living as the child in you most wants to live, living in trust and innocence. Trusting that the Universe is a beneficent place in which to live. Knowing that you are loved and cared for. Innocent of any knowledge of separation so there is no need for judgment or making the self or other wrong.

Being in your heart feels centered and expansive, for this is your true home, and all the different aspects of you recognize this and relax as you allow yourself to be in that space. ​​

Take a deep breath and feel the air expanding the area around your heart.

Visualize a beautiful, emerald green light, the color of your heart chakra, filling your chest and expanding outward.

Now take another breath, deepening the green light in your chest. See the light expanding outward from your chest into a sphere.

Keep breathing deeply as the green light expands outward to totally surround your body.

Continue to breathe deeply into your heart filling and surrounding yourself with beautiful emerald light expanding the sphere bigger and bigger.

Now allow your breathing to relax into a normal rhythm and sit within your heart space, breathing and feeling the expansion for as long as it feels good to you.

​Throughout the day if you find thoughts of judgment or fear uppermost in your mind, take a moment to close your eyes and breathe deeply. Feel the emerald green light filling your chest once again reminding you of where your true home is.
