In this sharing about what Living by the Heart means to me, I expand on the notion that this is not in any way related to emotional living, but much, on the contrary, it is living beyond emotions, diving into feeling, into the deep knowingness that resides in all of us, which can then inform the mind how to operate from a compassionate, loving, peaceful point.

Hello,

Today I would like to share something with you about the possibility of living 100% from the heart.

Please notice that this is not a meditative practice.

If you would like to do one of those,

I have many on my page on Inside Timer and there are also thousands with many other instructors.

So now back to my sharing.

I have heard several times that it is not possible to live 100% by the heart because the mind is essential and that is absolutely true.

But there is a fundamental misconception here.

When I refer to living 100% by the heart and I say that it is possible,

Yes,

I do not mean living from the emotional spectrum of what one usually calls the heart.

What I mean is living from the depths of our wisdom,

Of our expanded consciousness,

From our essence,

From the merged unity of human and divine.

This living from this level of consciousness informs the heart which in turn informs the mind so then the ego can be used to interact with others,

With the world around us from that level of consciousness.

So the mind is in this case the servant of the heart of expanded consciousness,

Of the soul,

Of your higher self,

Whatever you would like to call it.

Of course there are some steps that are essential in order to come to a point where you can allow yourself this total surrender to your heart's guidance,

In other words to your higher consciousness.

And those steps are being fully present,

You can practice and achieve this through your breath just by staying with it,

Full attention on allowing your breath to be your guide back home.

And as you allow yourself to be fully present then the aspects of personality which are dissociated which have become dissociated in time and space through traumatic experiences,

Through emotional experiences and that have been keeping you alive in survival mode because that was essential,

That then have of course informed your actions,

Your thoughts,

Your words.

Those aspects of personality which are stories from the past can only come back home to merge and dissolve in the wholeness of you when you show the way,

When you are present in your center,

In your body,

In your now moment.

Because if you are not then you are somewhere else,

You are interacting with one of those aspects or several at the same time and you are not at home to receive them back,

To embrace them,

To thank them for their service to you up until now.

Once these aspects together with the emotions they carry can find you,

Can find home,

Then a whole new experience of living begins,

Then the essence is allowed when you allow,

Is allowed to guide you in the now moment.

It informs the heart,

Which informs the mind which then serves the master,

You.

So yes,

It is possible to live your life 100% in surrender to your heart's guidance.

It is not your emotions.

It is the infinite compassion of your essence which has no judgment,

Which has no preconceptions,

Which shows you each unique moment as it is for you,

For your own service,

For your own evolution.

So this is what I would like to share with you and also repeat that it is just the breath,

Very simply the breath,

Being in it,

Being with it,

Paying attention,

That can help you merge more and more into you,

Fall completely into you.

Thank you for listening.
