Practice 10

Heart Inspiration

Congratulations on making it to Practice 10!

As you nestle into this phase of the program, you begin to rest in arriving right where you are. Sensing all you’ve become, being all you’ve always been but being in a new way.

Perhaps you’ve pushed and ‘efforted’ your way through the mind/body phase as you’ve built or leveraged your Will, Vitality, and Adjustment energies to climb your way into being able to be more present, more often. Navigating the labyrinths of the self is nothing short of a great hero’s journey, and requires a certain amount of courage, conviction, and discipline, which you have clearly shown. Our current adventure lies in navigating the unconscious/subconscious realms through the portal-centers of energy in your body. As we continue along this path, we awaken to the power of our own hearts—a transformational, transmutational, trans-time-and-space-tional integrative tool of loving intent.

Your heart energy is the key to integration, and as you integrate what you’re learning/experiencing, you become more perfect stillness itself. No need to go anywhere or be anything else ‘out there.’ Becoming more perfectly accepting of who you are, as you are. More accepting of others perfectly as they are. What a glorious thing!

The Heart phase is less about projecting into an ideal (creating a new discipline or habit) and more about arriving exactly where you are right now—the energy shifts from aspirational to inspirational. How do you feel now? What sensations are happening in your body now? Once you find presence, you find your inner landscape to be a more dynamic, wondrous place than you previously could have perceived. You find self-love, your intuition, and an emotional landscape of energy that is continually changing so much, it can captivate your every moment. You find your heart in a new way—as a force of flowing energy. An energy center that is here to guide and inspire you.

Where does your inspiration come from?

No, truly, think about it. How do you source your inspiration day-to-day? Often times, if we’re head-dominant like the majority of the western world, we use the thoughts and ideas of others don’t we. We read a blog or consume audio/visual content and we feel that motivation energy coming through. We want to experience something someone else did or is doing and we chase after it. While this may not be you completely all the time, we all to some degree or another tend to source our inspiration from the external world, and there’s nothing wrong with doing so. But, if you in fact are a unique soul that came to earth to express itself uniquely, perhaps sourcing inspiration from your higher-loving-self is a practice that will bring more of the experiences into life that your soul craves.

How does one do that? By listening to their heart. Do you know how to listen to your heart?

Our heart chakra energy and the love-field it emits can be a great source of inspiration, if we know how to listen to it. It speaks the language of love and always knows our truth, no matter how much we may want to run from it. It can answer a very important question: what would love have me do here? Letting such a question work it’s answer through you can lead you to the best this life has to offer, while benefiting the greater collective good of all beings. It’s a way to inspire action that leads to the best possible outcomes, no matter how painful or wonderful those outcomes have been or may continue to be.

Let us practice learning inspiration from our hearts now, and may the paths these inspirations take us on, nourish our wildest soul dreams.
