Listening with Heart

Increasingly as we ascend, we find an ability to be guided by our own higher intelligence and love.  We stop seeking other people’s authority and access the truest authority in our lives, our own Higher Selves.

Higher Self is an individual’s personal facet of the Oneness of all.  It is the creator of our bodies and souls over all our lifetimes and therefore the trustworthy guide for our lives and choices. The created part of us is ascending into unity with our Higher Selves which has been the goal and purpose behind all that has gone before, so now is the time to learn to access this clearest focus of self.

The organ that permits communication with Higher Self is our Heart Chakra.  This spiritual organ is the required interface allowing all facets of ourselves to function in unity with Higher Self.  It isn’t the only part that communicates, but without it, we can’t access higher intelligence and love for ourselves.  Without an open heart we can think, feel, hear, and see but only with our human level of perception.

Getting our heart chakra open and tuned to our Higher Selves is a type of soul muscle – something we grow through doing it over and over until it becomes our default way of being.  Even with a strong open heart “muscle”, circumstances can overwhelm our heart and cloud the waters of our perceptions.  There are ways to get around this if you are aware it is happening.  With practice you will know when your perceptions are clouded or limited to a lower focus.

For this post there are two primary things I would like to share with you:

1 – How to work through heart chakra instead of the common mental focus or emotional chaos.

2 – How to get heart chakra tuned to higher self, even when the waters of emotions and mind are clouded by judgments, fears or circumstances.

Many people have learned through circumstances in childhood to protect their heart by living from their mind.  For them, it takes healing and deliberate choice to learn to use their heart chakra and trust that experience.  What I am suggesting is not that you sacrifice your discerning mind and leave yourself vulnerable.  But rather that your human mind may have become a block to unity with Higher Self.  As an adult, you can ask your mind to allow you to use your heart, but to still provide you with discernment of when circumstances are not safe.  A strong mind is a good thing.  A mind in control of your life is extremely limited and cut off from spirit and from significant aspects of the experience of loving.

Other people have learned to live from their emotions and instincts which is the opposite extreme of mental control.  There can be an element of chaos in this which sometimes prevents clear connection with Higher Self.  Like waves in the ocean of feeling, it clouds the waters of perception.  In this situation, the choice can be made to find the calm true center deep within which I call Inner Wisdom.  Centering there allows the waters of emotion and mind to calm and the ensuing clarity allows unity with Higher Self to grow.

For both extremes, as for everyone else, the first step is to access the calm place within called Inner Wisdom.  This is where I begin all my meditative work.

Meditation to Listen with Heart

1 – Access Inner wisdom:

• Breathe into your body and give yourself a big inner hug from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
  • This grounds you into your human self, which is an essential step.
  • It also comforts your mind and emotions.
• Allow your breathing to bring your focus to your heart chakra in the middle of your chest.
  • Relax into that place until you feel centered there.
  • Look out at the world through your heart instead of your head – like you have eyes and ears in your heart chakra.
  • When you are centered there, you will feel stronger in your heart than in your head
• Feel yourself step back into your energy field so that the back of your body feels like the middle of yourself.
  • This puts you into the middle of your aura, instead of being out in front of yourself where most people live.
• Breathe into the calm place that you feel in that place and relax there where it is lighter, and you can breathe more easily.
• Invite the presence of your Inner Wisdom to focus your heart, and to fill your whole body and aura with your true self.
  • Inner Wisdom is a seed of your Higher Self within your body and aura, it has always been there since you were conceived.
• Feel your heart and mind relax within the presence of your Inner Wisdom’s love.

2 – Connect with Higher Self – Receive Guidance

• Let your Inner Wisdom invite your higher self to be present
  • from your heart chakra invite your Higher Self to direct your thoughts, feelings, instincts and will power to act and choose what is in your highest good.
• If you have specific questions, communicate them to Higher Self through your heart chakra as though you have a voice in your heart.
  • Invite the answers to come to you now, or perhaps through your dreams, or in the still quiet place between sleep and awakening.
  • Let them come as an inner knowing or a vision, or an aha moment, or however they do.
  • Trust you will know what you need to know when the time is right for you to know it. Until then be patient.
    • You might also do your own inquiries into the options you are considering.
    • When you make a choice, do it centered in your Inner Wisdom and connected with Higher Self. From this place higher intelligence and love can support the optimal results from your actions.
      • Results may or may not be what you think you want, but they will work out better than you can imagine.

Within you are the answers you seek.  It takes practice to recognize that higher intelligence and love of your Higher Self know things you don’t know consciously.  It takes practice to learn the “tells” of your intuitive knowing which are not always the same.  Sometimes they come through thoughts or dreams, sometimes as an impulse that is not a fear response, but simply an appropriate call to act.  Sometimes there is just a sense that once you take the next obvious step, the one you need after that will be apparent.  All of this requires practice and trust.  However, who better to trust than your Higher Self?  No one else knows you so well.
