Living from the heart

Blessed Monday dear ones! It is snowing now here in Portland - which is an unusual thing for us - so I guess we're in the throes of winter. I must say I much prefer the sun and sand, so this weather is a bit challenging for me. It also reminds me that if we truly believe everything is being orchestrated for our highest and best, then I must stop and relax into what is being presented to me. Even if it's snow. :/

Over the weekend I had a special reminder of living from the heart and not the head. My Beloved and I were spending time together on Saturday, and although we didn't have an argument, I was definitely clearing some emotions out and staying in my head about it. I am sure you can relate to trying to figure things out from your mind, rationalizing, weighing this and that. Around 2 am I woke up and although I wasn't in a deep meditation, I was most certainly in a different realm. I was tired, and I was tired of trying to source from my mind. So in deep surrender, I breathed in and asked Source "What is highest and best? Just show me where I should go and I will follow." Mary Magdalene showed up (when I channel I don't always see faces, and hers I did not, yet I definitely knew who she was) and she said "Just love him." Pretty powerful, huh? 

Immediately I dropped back into my body and could feel myself connect with my heart again. I knew there was nothing to fix or figure out. All I had to do was let go, come back into my heart, and love. Of course there wasn't anything else I needed to do. I have this incredible man beside me for however long, and this relationship is teaching me how to surrender into love. We had such a fun morning and afternoon together, and this is how life is meant to flow. Of course there will be times when situations will need to worked through and discussed, and problems and life issues that will arise that will need to be delved into more, but in this example, there was nothing wrong except I wasn't moving from the right space - my heart.

I have spent most of my life in protection mode not wanting to feel the pain of life. In many instances I had to be that way in order to survive, and that is okay. However, now in this changing paradigm and new consciousness, we can choose a different way that opens us up into a different reality where the heart runs the show and the mind follows instead of the other way around. There is nothing that the Universe wants more for you than to live in this new reality of freedom and flow and ease. Yet you have to commit to the path. You have to be willing to surrender your will into that of Spirit. You have to be willing to let go of your way of doing things into this miraculous plan that is constantly trying to unfold for you. All of your Earth partners and Spirit guides and are continually trying to guide you. Let them.

So how to start? Or how to continue? One of the easiest things to do is place your hand on your heart and say "I love you" to yourself. Look yourself in the eyes in the mirror and say it over and over. Notice how you receive this for yourself. If it's difficult, go more slowly. Take in the Love and let it break you open. Let yourself feel the infinite amount of joy and bliss that is all around. Life may not always look to be in your favor, yet it's always moving you in the direction of where you need to go. Trust this. And allow yourself to love a little more no matter what your mind throws at you. For whether it's learning boundary setting and how to honor yourself and what you need or having someone in your life leave, trust the plan. It's way bigger than you can imagine, and way better if you allow it. 

I will take what a snow day may bring me, and in winter it will probably be time to slow down and reflect and anchor in stronger roots for the spring that will certainly come. I wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to place an intention or reap a learning because the Love that comes through is what Heaven on Earth is all about. Standing strong with you as you allow in the divine Love as well. Blessings and Love always. xo
