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
​Learn how to change your own heart

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 hand over heart
Breathe slow and soft
Feel from within
Heart muscles relax

Gently will to soften further
Let door to 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 heart open
Set mind to listen mode
Listen for the subtle feelings
Listen for the subtle image
Listen for the subtle message
Embrace whatever comes up
No matter how subtle
No matter how silly
No matter how scary

Not a metaphor
Physical reality

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

Not a metaphor
Physical reality

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

You can do it
You can heal yourself

When in fear
When in doubt
When lost or confused
Put hand over heart
Take a few, slow, gentle 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
