Today I want to talk about the power of the heart mind.
Connecting with our heart helps us connect to this non-local intuition that comes from the higher mind,
That comes from this unified energy field.
So the more that we can connect to the heart,
The more that we can connect to our intuition,
The rest of the universe,
And we also activate the relaxation response of our bodies.
So you can use this technique to just come into yourself,
Activate the relaxation response,
And connect to your heart,
Which will help you to come from a place of love when you go to communicate or when you finally go to respond instead of react to the situation.
Einstein says that the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
So I really like that quote and it's a reminder that it's important to be connected to our intuition.
It's just as valuable as our logical mind and this technique will help you to get connected,
More connected to your intuition.
So just as we always start off with any meditation,
I just want you to really ground down through your sits bones or if you're sitting in a chair,
You can just ground through your feet on the floor.
Just really start to feel the earth under you,
Holding you,
And you reach the crown of your head up toward the heavens,
Just creating a long spine,
Tucking the chin in slightly,
Closing the eyes,
Softening the eyes,
Dropping the shoulders away from the neck.
Just start to breathe in slowly through the nose,
Sending the breath down deep into the belly,
And then exhaling slowly,
Releasing the breath,
Inhaling again deep into the belly.
Just a slow,
Deep breath,
Slow,
Deep exhale out the mouth.
Again,
Following the breath as it comes through the nostrils all the way down deep into the belly,
Following the breath in this circular motion.
So you exhale and you inhale,
All the while following your breath.
Now you can bring your attention to your heart center.
Start to just feel into that heart space and the space around your heart.
Notice the quality of your heart today.
Maybe it's feeling a little bit tight and tense or closed,
Or maybe it's feeling open and soft.
Notice the quality and just let it be whatever it is.
Just going to try to soften a little bit around the heart,
Create some space around the heart.
We're going to activate the heart so it'll feel better by the end of this no matter what.
And you're breathing through the heart now as if you have nostrils on your heart,
As if your nose is coming out of your heart.
You're just breathing in and out through that heart space.
Still following the breath,
But now it's coming through this heart space.
Still expanding the belly and the ribs and the clavicle as your breath comes in through the heart space.
And then I want you to sincerely think of some experience in your life that brings joy,
Something that you love or something that you're grateful for,
Sincerely activating a positive feeling here.
I want you to activate this positive feeling maybe coming from an experience,
A memory,
Or gratitude.
You can visualize it in your mind,
Breathe it in and out of the heart space.
Maybe you let that positive feeling bring a smile to your face.
Or maybe it's not quite there yet and that's okay.
Really try to activate this positive feeling in your heart.
Let that positive feeling start to just radiate your heart like gold.
Your heart is now glowing with this gold,
Bright light,
Breathing in and out of the heart and this golden glowing light shining out through your heart,
Shining into every nook and cranny of your body,
Down all the way to your fingertips and your toes and down to every cobwebbed corner of your body,
Into your joints,
All the way up through your brain.
Breathing that glowing gold to every inch of your body.
You are now this radiant gold glowing being.
Keeping this positive visual,
This positive feeling in your heart,
Start to radiate that glowing gold energy out through your entire house.
Just feel it fill up your whole house,
Maybe the other people in it as well,
Watching their bodies turn to gold glow.
Then start to watch this gold glowing energy just shooting out past the walls of your home,
Just breaking past those barriers of your home,
Filling up the entire neighborhood with this glowing gold energy.
And this energy,
This gold glow,
It radiates past the neighborhood through your entire city.
Maybe it starts to radiate through the entire state and now into the entire country.
This gold glow all stemming from you,
From your heart,
This gold radiant being.
And this gold glow starts to envelop the entire world,
The entire earth,
Glowing gold together,
All radiating right down from your heart and soul.
Breathing through the heart space,
You watch this gold radiant energy pulse like your breath,
Sending out through the whole universe.
And just try to maintain that golden light within you as you bring your hands to heart center.
We close our practice.
Namaste.
