Going Within Isn't A Metaphor

Going within isn't a metaphor
When we let stress and fear take over
Our mind is projecting into the future
Our heart muscle tightens

There is a mini brain in the heart

When the heart is tight
It sends out subtle waves of alarm
The immune system becomes taxed
Intuition disappears

Put your hand over your heart
Breathe slow and soft
Feel from within
Your heart muscles relax

Gently will yourself to soften further
Let the door to the inner heart open

There is a light on the other side
It may feel like a glow
It may look like a glow
It may sound like a glow

With your heart open
Set your mind to passive listening
Listen for the subtle feelings
Listen for the subtle image
Listen for the subtle message
Embrace whatever comes up
No matter how subtle

This is not metaphor
It is physical reality

When I lay my hands on you
I open my heart
Set my mind to listen
And your body shows me
What it needs

This is not metaphor
It is physical reality

It can be touched
It can be felt
It can be heard

Only you can do it
Only you can save yourself

When in fear
When in doubt
When you don't know how to solve a problem
Put your hand over your heart
Take a few deep breaths
Will the heart muscles to soften
Will the mind to listen
Don't ignore whatever comes up
No matter how subtle
No matter how peculiar
This is you
Connected
To Higher Consciousness

I love you all
