The need for an open heart continues to be paramount for\u00a0our ascension focus.\u00a0 The function of the heart chakra is to be the connection between human self and\u00a0Higher Self, and between human self and others.\u00a0 It is also the means of\u00a0transmutation and release\u00a0for what is unhelpful and transformation of who we have been into who we are capable of being.\u00a0 Without an open heart, these processes get stalled.<\/p>\n
To allow the heart chakra to do its job, the mind and the third eye chakra\u00a0need to keep a soft focus – not running the show, but integrating the greater wisdom available to us.\u00a0 When the mind and third eye take the helm and try to direct the ship of our lives, ignoring our Inner Wisdom and the connection with Higher Self, we find ourselves running blind – though we may think we know where we are going.\u00a0 So our mind and third eye need to be connected to our open heart; however, that alone isn’t enough.\u00a0 There also needs to be a unity with our body so we can ground spirit into the world and allow it to act.\u00a0 A good analogy to discuss the unity of these parts and how they work together might be a sailboat.<\/p>\n
Like the great ship Mayflower sailed into the new world of America, your beautiful ship of Being is sailing into the new world of our ascended state.\u00a0 You have been building this ship for many lifetimes and now you are\u00a0learning to master the process of sailing.\u00a0 In this analogy your heart chakra would be the sails – interfacing between the wind of spirit,\u00a0the\u00a0water of rebirth and wood of physical experience.\u00a0 The rudder would be your mind – focusing the direction you go.\u00a0 The ballast – what gives weight to the bottom of the boat so it doesn’t flip upside-down –\u00a0is your grounding.\u00a0 The crew for your ship would be all your various skills and gifts.\u00a0 The captain of your ship would be your Higher Self – who knows the direction and goals that you are contracted to fulfill in this incarnation.\u00a0 The sail, the rudder and the crew hold endless potential, but without the captain they may be lost in the vast sea of life.\u00a0 The captain makes everything work together for good.<\/p>\n
When your heart is closed, it is like having your sails furled and the captain is asleep or unavailable.\u00a0 Then the crew will work\u00a0the rudder, trying to keep the boat on course to somewhere, though they may only imagine they know the way to go.\u00a0 The rudder being the mind, those who wield it may get an idea and use\u00a0it as a goal; but it may be arbitrary, having no real relationship to where the boat is presently or where it is contracted to go.\u00a0 In this frustrating scenario the boat could be lost at sea or run aground on a reef near some unknown shore.\u00a0 Life with a closed heart often feels like this – pointless, arbitrary\u00a0and frustrating.<\/p>\n
I want to make clear that an open heart is not the same thing as an open mind.\u00a0 The mind is\u00a0your ability to\u00a0focus, and so it is an essential part of your equipment.\u00a0 However, it wasn’t designed to choose what to focus on – but rather to be directed by the captain of your ship – your Higher Self through your heart chakra.\u00a0 When the mind tries to choose the focus of your life, it gets\u00a0lost among the endless possibilities, like the un-captained ship in the great blue sea of life.<\/p>\n
Because our human capacities have found spirit to be an ephemeral thing, we have become enamored of our minds, as though they contained all the answers we needed.\u00a0 Alternately we used religion or philosophy as concepts of what spirit might be like.\u00a0 To a large extent people have been spiritually deaf and blind.\u00a0 So the mind has seemed to be our best bet as a guide and director of our lives.\u00a0 But we are ascending and for some time now, the world of spirit has been becoming increasingly available to our awareness.\u00a0 Spirit is\u00a0still less obvious than the mind, but we are doing much better with assimilating it into our lives nevertheless.<\/p>\n
These blogs, my classes, healings and book are\u00a0designed to\u00a0strengthen your connection\u00a0with the spiritual captain of your ship – your Higher Self.\u00a0 Your Higher Self\u00a0is a unique part of\u00a0the Oneness of Life.\u00a0 Because each ship – or soul – was created by a unique Higher Self, it has a purpose and direction for life that\u00a0it alone\u00a0can fulfill within the wholeness of\u00a0our world.\u00a0 Your Higher Self has used your mind to help\u00a0direct your ship until you can bring it on board as captain.\u00a0 Studying, living, meditating, listening, watching, working, relating…all these and more have provided input to open your mind to possibilities for your life.\u00a0 This openness has been more beneficial than a closed mind would be; however once your Higher Self begins to captain your life, your focus once again narrows as you learn to listen to the guidance within your own heart.\u00a0 In this way, the ship of your life begins to move in the direction of your greater good and fulfillment of your true\u00a0purposes.<\/p>\n
I would also mention that in this analogy, nothing would work without the physical body of the ship!\u00a0 So I will remind you that being grounded is the only way to achieve your goals in this life!<\/p>\n
