Transcript

The essence of this exercise lies in discovering your underlining motivation and Understanding what truly resonates within you begin by Taking a deep breath and let it go Paying attention to your natural breathing pattern Allow it to flow naturally Whether your eyes are open or closed Ask yourself What has led you to engage in this practice?

Are you here to take a break and listen?

Or to gain clarity about something within yourself Whatever the reason Allow it to surface And approach it with a curious mindset if you feel called place your hands over your heart and Tune in to the desires pulsating within you perhaps these desires Cannot be expressed in words But rather they invoke a specific sensation What?

Sensation Do you experience?

Is it a comforting warmth?

Gradual build-up or a rapid heartbeat in this moment of connection What is your heart attempting to communicate?

Is there an action that you can take today?

To bring yourself closer to fulfilling your heart felt longing Michael Bliss writes The desires of our heart were not put there by accident Followed them Coming across this meditation was not a coincidence It happened because you are already in tuned with your intuition In what way can present aspirations turn into future drive and guide you?

Towards your deepest desires In this moment of clarity.

I Will leave you some quiet time to reflect on those questions Turn inward and listen to the rhythm of your own unique beat Is it possible for these?

Aspirations to involve both progress and regression Is it acceptable to spend more time listening?

Or eagerly Dive into the desire without wasting any time It is also perfectly fine if you're unsure about the true message in this moment don't overanalyze it Simply let it flow Like the circulation of blood in your veins and the inhaling and exhaling of your breath in your lungs Let's inhale deeply Envisioning the air aiding the unrestricted flow and exhale out whatever remains stagnant Many of us struggle to access our true desires as our thoughts often dominate our actions Roy Bennett writes Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind Be led by the dreams in your heart Can you cultivate a state of presence in which your mind remains active?

Yet still Allowing your heart to express itself My darling your heart is advising you to embrace its guidance Instead of being afraid of the mind Remember that famous scene from the movie dirty dancing?

Where Johnny assists baby in Filling the rhythm of the heartbeat to follow the dance steps in a similar way Connecting with your own beat allows you to take the necessary steps to dance towards your dreams Dance my darling dance Dance my darling dance Move your body as if you are dancing with the thought that no one is watching Allowing your awakening limbs to gracefully come to life And when you're ready Open your eyes and let the hunger within them guide you to see My darling when you dance,

What do I see?

I see only you

"The desires of the heart were not put there by accident, follow them." My goodness. The words spoken with your voice are hypnotic, taking you to a place where openness of heart and mind leads to a vulnerability that evolves to opportunity. My words cannot do justice to what you do, but hopefully a heartfelt thank you is a start. 🐜
