Have you ever taken the time to listen to your heart?
There is innate wisdom there. One day, while meditating with my hands on my heart, I began a mantra of, “See the good in others.” I repeated it And suddenly there was a voice that said, “And you.” I was surprised. Tears came to my eyes. I repeated the new mantra—“See the good in others and myself.” I smiled at the guiding wisdom.♥️

Inside of each one of us is a beautiful, beautiful heart. As we share our heart and let its rays shine on all around us, our heart enlarges and becomes even more beautiful. It is in the sharing that both are blessed. ♥️
Letting your heart ♥️ lead and inform you about what and how you do something each day can make such a difference.
A simple act, such as placing your hands over your heart and asking how it is today, can be a nourishing action. Your body responds to these gestures of love with an easing of tension and slowing down of the breath and heartbeat. How do you lead from the heart? 💕 Yoga Therapy can help. 😘 How do you think your perspective about life would change if love 💗 were the only motive?
Mine has changed dramatically. I look at people in a more thoughtful, kind way. I go through my everyday tasks with a mindful, willing heart. I respond to myself more gently and with a love that brings joy. Perhaps today, you might allow your perspective to change a little and live your life from a motive of love. 💗 Life’s challenges have a way of closing off one’s heart. I know they have for me. When challenges have come along, I’ve found myself wrapping up in cotton wool, tightly like a blanket, closing myself off from the world.
I was safe there and couldn’t feel the hurt, the confusion, the overwhelm. Then one day, I pulled apart the fibers of the cotton wool that surrounded me, and peeked out. The world didn’t seem so scary. I opened my heart a bit and waited to see what would happen. There was silence, a quiet stillness, then wisdom crept in. I began to realize that as well as the cotton wool keeping out hurtful things, it also kept out kind and loving things. To feel them, I would need to unwrap. |
