Hello and welcome.
This is Mark Silver with Heart of Business and welcome to the Monday Remembrance Call.
I want to encourage you to go ahead and just take a nice gentle breath.
Let yourself get comfortable in your chair or your seat,
However you're sitting.
And another nice gentle breath.
And just noticing how you're feeling.
Maybe closing your eyes and bringing your attention inward so that you can really check in.
How are you feeling?
Well,
That's true.
Notice how much space there is to feel exactly how you're feeling without needing to change or fix anything.
And then just bringing your attention to your heart high up in your chest.
Beginning to call the name of the Divine through the open doorway of your heart.
Sometimes we want something and yet maybe we're afraid to choose it or we feel we can't choose it.
Or that there's too much in the way,
Too much that we have to deal with before we can choose it.
And just as you continue to call to the Divine in your heart,
I want you to notice a yearning,
Any yearning that you have in your heart.
And I think we can make an easy discernment between momentary things that we want,
Like a pint of ice cream,
And deeper choices or yearnings that are calling to us.
They don't have to be huge life path decisions,
But they can be.
They don't even have to be decisions of tremendous import.
Sometimes small decisions can have great meaning to the heart.
And so just encouraging you to take a nice gentle breath and as you call to the Divine through your heart,
Just noticing any yearning that you notice.
What is it that your heart is yearning for?
Oh no.
And just continuing to call to the Divine.
Not trying to chase after this yearning.
Not trying to fix it or change it.
Just noticing it.
Is there space in your heart for yearning?
Yes,
Of course there is.
Just noticing that.
And the Divine.
And the Love.
And the One.
And just continuing to call to the Divine through the open doorway of your heart.
Continuing to call the name and noticing how your heart feels and how the yearning feels.
And what if you were allowed to yearn?
What if that yearning was something that was placed inside you by the Divine essence?
What if it grew out of something that your heart knows is going to take it home?
Going to lead you home to Love.
Home to Oneness.
What if it was okay to say yes to that yearning?
And without necessarily committing to following through on the yearning,
I want you to just find a place in your heart,
An authentic place that can say genuinely,
Yes,
I am yearning this.
Sometimes what we do is we shut down even the yearning.
We don't acknowledge that we are yearning because we're not allowed to.
Hmm.
What happens?
What do you notice in your heart from a full open hearted yes?
I have this yearning.
This is coming from my heart.
This is where I am.
Let your head bow in humility and sincerity.
Let yourself let go and surrender any attempt to control your yearning or to own the thing that is yearned for.
And instead,
See if you can find yourself in the pure expression of the yearning.
Hmm.
By saying yes to the yearning,
It lets you become intimate with it.
Often we hold these kinds of feelings at an arm's length,
Not wanting to let it in until we're sure of it.
The only way we can be sure of it is by letting ourselves become intimate and to know what is this?
What is this really?
Sometimes things look very different at a distance than they do close up.
What do you notice about this yearning as you let it in and you say yes to it and you embrace it?
Hmm.
Hmm.
And now from this place of remembrance in your heart,
The sincerity and this acceptance,
Allow yourself to make a prayer,
To make a real request of the Divine,
To help you follow this yearning,
To help this yearning lead to a place of fulfillment.
Letting go of control,
Surrendering what the path looks like.
By accepting this yearning as a legitimate yearning and letting it pull you forward and letting the Divine guide you and carry you.
Just asking.
And then just calling to the Divine through the open doorway of your heart.
Just calling,
Letting yourself sink back towards oneness,
Back towards the love,
Having seen and recognized and embraced your yearning.
And then ask,
Made a prayer,
Asked for fulfillment,
Being led towards fulfillment.
And now just letting go of all of that and letting your attention return and focusing on the One,
On the Source of Love.
And noticing any authentic appreciation or gratitude for anything you experience during this remembrance.
And letting yourself express that to the Divine.
And taking a nice gentle breath.
And if you desire continuing in remembrance,
Staying in as long as you like.
And if it's time to return to your day,
Letting that gentle breath help your attention come back towards your day.
Knowing that the remembrance is always available in every moment.
And I wish blessings upon you and upon your week and upon your yearning.
This has been Mark Silver with Heart of Business.
Peace.
