“When the doors of perception are cleansed,

man will see things as they truly are, infinite.”

-William Blake

 

Ultimately, we are energetic beings, and the inner heart is our connecting point to an electric magnetic field of loving energy.  Remember, the heart is the first organ created when we are in the womb, and it is the last to stop before we leave this physical reality.  The first and the last or the alpha and the omega.  The heart is no respecter of person’s, and the ego steps aside as we focus on our heart center.  When we are told to follow our heart, then our heart must be open to receive unconditional love.  

 

Life experiences can impact our heart and cause us to become distracted from our life purpose. Some of us will “harden our heart’s” to protect ourselves from getting hurt again.  When we heal our inner heart, we can find our way and return to our true “heart’s desire” which is also connected to our purpose.

 

Research has shown that the heart has memory cells which communicate to the mind.  The heart is also 5000 times more powerful magnetically than the mind, and 100 times more powerful electrically.  Consider the possibility that the inner sanctuary of the heart is the “seat” of the Spirit – True Wisdom – and expresses emotions and feelings which align with faith and intentions. 

 

The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose,

in the present moment and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of

experience moment by moment.

-John Kabat-Zinn

 

Our emotions and feelings have the power to impact our minds – which in turn release various chemicals into our bodies, manifesting anxiety and depressive symptomatology.  Below is a list of presenting issues that can help in the area of self-assessment and develop a self-care plan.  As a Licensed Spiritual Health Coach, the philosophy for assessment begins when we listen to our body and allow it to tell us what it needs.  It becomes clear that everything works together and when any part of the “whole body” is blocked

 

  • Presenting strong emotional issues can have an effect on the physical body.  Discover and heal the core emotional issue, and you may address and heal the physical ailment.
  • A mental block can be traced back to an emotional issue.  Free the mental block, and you may address and heal the emotional issue.
  • The intuitive (psychological) error causes mental blocks.  Release and heal the intuitive error, and the mental block is dissolved.
  • With a spiritual disconnection, there is always confusion and intuitive error.  Reconnect with faith and heal the spiritual disconnection by connecting with the spirit of the divine source and there can be no intuitive error.

 

Each individual’s life story has related challenging and traumatic life events, which many times prevents a person from entering into the place of joy and compassion.  There is also research documenting and validating the phenomena which occur from the individual’s “telling of the story,” reflecting the life journey (McFeature, 2009).  Our story matters and is unique to our life experiences.  Faith in our Divine Source opens the door to intuition and always shows the way home.
