Are you worried? Anxious? Frustrated? Are stuck and don't know what to do. Stop. Close your eyes. Drop from your head and into your heart. A helpful way to pause the mind chatter is to be present to your senses. How does your body feel? Do you need to move or adjust yourself? Are you thirsty? Feel the softness of your clothes. The warmth of the air on your skin. The firmness of the ground or the chair supporting you. Listen to the sound of your heart beating. Activate your senses. Breathe deeply and calmly into your heart center. Feel the rhythm of your heart reverberating through your whole body. And from within. Lower your gaze and imagine looking directly at your heart. Dropping from your head and into your heart. Listen. What does your heart want? What is your heart whispering? What is coming up for you? There is no wrong answers. Open the lines of communication. And drop from your head and into your heart. Worrying disconnects the heart and keeps us locked in our minds, Playing stories that may never happen. Right here, Right now. Tap into what you see. Feel, Hear and sense and it will ground you in the present moment. When you feel overwhelmed, Drop from your head and into your heart. And let your heartbeat calm your senses. Or better yet, Practice this every day. And feel yourself become grounded and peaceful through life. Even to troubled waters. Listen to the song of your heart. To soothing whispers of your soul. It will guide you. It is you. The light within. You know the way. Just move the eagle out of the way. And drop from your head. And into your heart. This is Carol Fontaine. Sailor of storms. Teacher of hearts. Book whisperer. Om Shanti.
