Take a nice couple of deep breaths and your own rhythm,
Please.
And test your posture to be comfortable,
If you haven't already.
Let your to-do list go,
Your calendar fade away,
And just be present.
And come with me today on a journey to heart connection.
The human heart,
And perhaps all hearts of all species,
Is so much more than we realize.
Human heart,
For example,
Has more neural connections than the human brain.
And scientists are beginning to understand that the human heart has a tremendous influence on our biochemical cascade,
And many other things.
And of course,
Ancient literature has told us for thousands of years that there's something called the heart center.
That this heart center is both a place of giving and receiving love.
Let's just for a moment place a fingertip in the center of your chest,
Not where your heart is,
But across from where your physical heart is,
Right in the center of your chest at the same level.
It's above your solar plexus.
And just imagine that there is a heart-centered chakra,
And it's a ball of energy,
And it's swirling and turning slowly,
Perhaps,
Like caramel.
Perhaps it's wispy,
Perhaps it's more solid,
You decide.
Perhaps it's colorless,
Or some people say it's pinkish or reddish.
Again,
Your choice.
Just for a moment,
Around that heart energy,
Imagine it's circling in some pattern that pleases you.
As a sphere,
As a disk,
As anything that works for you.
And now imagine that everyone else on this call is doing that as well.
And as we do that,
Somehow,
In ways we don't yet understand,
Our heart centers align,
And they fall into the same pattern and the same rhythm,
And they make a heart connection.
Feel that.
Use your imagination as the sixth sense to feel our shared heart center.
How could it be?
It's thousands of thousands of miles in different locations,
Different personalities,
Different people,
Creating a shared heart and a shared center.
This may be the deepest connection of all,
And one heart flows to another,
To another,
To another.
Just feel it build,
Feel it build,
Feel it pulse.
And now extend it to those you love and those you care about,
Family,
Friends,
Close or far,
Seen often,
Seen rarely,
Seen virtually.
Extend that,
Reach out as far as you want to as many hearts and heart centers as you want.
And imagine that together all of us are building a huge bio,
Shared bio field of heart centers,
Combined into one often called,
Perhaps best called community.
Real,
True community,
Not accidental or geographic or relative,
Blood wise,
Just intention.
And as you feel that shared heart center in a larger and larger space,
Look at the connections.
Look at a connection between you and someone else,
You know,
Someone in this group,
Someone in your community you've picked.
Look at the line of light that may be coming from your heart to their heart and from their heart to yours.
And then,
Of course,
Look at the cross sectionality.
Look at all the spider webbing,
All the tendrils of heart to heart to heart to heart to heart to heart to the vast web of connection,
New,
Renewed,
Old.
And feel it.
Feel your heart center part of a vast web of a shared heart center.
Don't forget to breathe.
Don't forget to open your heart and your imagination.
Just open,
Open to receive.
Probably you're good at sending.
You may not yet be good at receiving.
Try it.
And as you do,
Pick a thought or an offering or a word or phrase and send it out across this web,
This network of beautiful hearts being open and vulnerable.
It could be a word like generosity or gratitude or anything positive you'd like to share from your heart to others hearts.
And imagine it's resonating now across all those hearts and all those people reverberating,
Creating ripples,
Intermingling with the offerings of others,
Strengthening our hearts individually and collectively.
Now,
Finally,
See the whole web lighting up at new levels of consciousness and light and love.
Very,
Very bright,
Whatever bright means to you.
And as it does,
You might even hear it.
You might hear the sound of light.
Like a crescendo or an orchestra.
Reaching a frequency and a vibration that perhaps you don't always encounter.
And let that frequency and vibration reverberate not only into your heart,
But into all of your cells and all of your organs.
All of your shins,
Chakras.
And with that new sense of vibrancy and aliveness and connectedness,
Are you ready?
Give thanks.
Come back into the room.
Have a wonderful day.
