ENERGY OF THE HEART
The fundamental ingredients
We all have a desire to evolve. To put this another way, we all want to raise our vibration. What is vibration? Vibration is energy. As energy raises it increases in coherency. When the energy that we are becomes more coherent we feel clearer, lighter and more connected to ourselves and all of existence. We could call this evolution. From a developmental standpoint we are all on a trajectory of coming into greater awareness of ourselves. From one point on the path in our early development we identify as a separate human. At another point on the path we shift our identity to be more collective and less distinct and separate. In this place or location on the journey we have activated the energy of the heart. Why the heart? The heart is simply that energy which knows itself to be unified rather than separate from. If the energy of the heart is not awake inside of our consciousness we won’t perceive ourselves to be connected. Separation will feel like reality to us, as the whole truth, when in actuality it is only part of the truth.
The heart energy is that frequency which knows with conviction interconnectedness. When we feel lost and like we are doing this thing called life all on our own it is because we are not rested in the heart. We may get those moments and glimpses of feeling our heart activated and we might call those moments being in the flow or feeling good. When we don’t feel flow or feel good it’s because we are in forgetfulness of ourselves, ourselves as heart. Now being rested in our heart doesn’t mean we will never have a painful sensation or emotion ever again. It simply means that while we have painful sensations and emotions we do not lose touch with who we are, hence we don’t suffer because of our sensations and emotions. Rather we simply experience them as part of having a physical and emotional body.
You may wonder why we’ve seemingly “forgotten” the energy of the heart if you will. Again if we think of this more in terms of development, it’s that we just haven’t developed the activation of our heart in our human life span. Just like a flower blooms in perfect timing, so to does the activation of our heart. Like we can water and feed a flower to help in bloom, so to we can do this with our heart. Given the proper ingredients it is only natural that the heart will blossom open. What are these ingredients? You can think of these ingredients in terms of both inner and outer environments. To allow the heart to unfurl we need light (aka levity). We need to laugh, let things go and not take things so seriously. We need to know we are safe physically and emotionally. Essentially that we are ok no matter what. We need to know that we are valuable and significant just because we exist, not because of anything we do. We need to give ourselves permission to listen and take action in the direction of our alignment of what feels good to us.
EVERYTHING IS LOVE
Activating the heart
Whether the energy of our heart is activated inside of our being or not, the energy of the heart still exists. It is present always. It exists in the form or formlessness of unconditional love. Just like a banana exists even if you don’t see it or taste it in your present moment experience, doesn’t mean it ceases to exist. We know that the banana exists somewhere and if we really want one we can find one. Same with the heart. If we really want to experience it then our desire will lead us to it. It will reveal the path towards the opening into that which is already present somewhere and bring it into our current present moment.
So while it can seem like the heart is hiding from us, it’s more likely that we either one, don’t have the desire to really experience it inside or our reality, or two, we are not taking action in the direction of our desires. If we don’t get in the car to drive to the store we will not experience the banana. We need to take actual action. Same for the heart. You might feel confused as to what actions to take, but I promise you that if your desire is genuine than the actions are there, you just aren’t listening to the messages that you are giving yourself. You are finding reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t follow what you want to.
We each have responsibility for our own evolution. While evolution is natural, and destined in a way, we can delay or postpone it. This is our free will. Postponement looks like not taking action in the direction of our so called desires. We would only do this if we are too serious about life, don’t feel safe, and don’t think we matter or have value. We must secure these fundamental nutrients, inner and outer, in order to feel our hearts open and in communication with more of ourselves. The focus on and for continued separation between is a choice. Your free will is in where you place your focus. By harnessing the power of your desire and intention you direct the ship of your life. Where it goes, the turns it takes and the things you see along the way are led by what is important to you. Recognize that the obstacles you’ve experienced have all been there to help you develop those things which you’ve required in order to evolve into this very moment. The fundamental ingredients that you need have come through what you’ve experienced thus far. There have been no mistakes.
There is no shortage of love and you have not been left out of it. You are it. The path is simply waking up to this very fact of what you already are and have been. The desire to know one’s self is the desire that will lead to your heart blossoming into the most epic, ecstatic, rapturous opening you’ve ever experienced. As humans we are primed for this awakening into the heart. It is the next level of development for us as a collective species to come to know ourselves in this way. We are all in some way or form on this journey. You can accelerate for yourself by falling in love with yourself, seeming others and your life. Make your life one that you love. If there are things you don’t want anymore change them. Move into the direction that your soul keeps calling you into. Lead life from the glorious energy of your heart.
