Open Heart... (A Girlie Post)

Returning Home - Open Heart

Bit of a Girlie Post, but hey, I liked it... A DailyOm :o)

Spiritual teachers have always pointed to the heart as the seat of consciousness, and recently Western science has found evidence to support this realization. It turns out that the heart has its own central nervous system and is not simply under the rule of the brain as formerly believed. Anyone who has taken the time to explore the heart knows this and, more important, has realized that the heart is the source of our connection to a consciousness greater than the ego. Approaching life with an open heart means that we have opened the door to this greater consciousness, taking up residence alongside it in the seat of our soul. Fortunately, at this time there is a lot of support for this shift energetically as well as practically. To some degree, approaching life with an open heart is as simple as shifting your attention onto your heart.

Eventually you will be able do this any time, any place, but at first it may help to try it in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Simply sit with your eyes closed and draw your breath into your heart. As your breath expands your chest cavity, your heart expands and opens. You may feel tenderness or sadness in your heart, and you may also feel relief. Any emotions that arise can be effectively witnessed and healed through the meditation process, which benefits both your physical heart and your energetic heart. The more you practice, the more you will find your heart opening to your own presence and to all the situations your life brings.

When we open our hearts, they may feel tender and vulnerable, which simply means that they need our loving attention as we cleanse and heal them of past hurts and blockages. This process asks us to practice some of the heart's greatest lessons-patience, compassion, and unconditional love. On the other hand, we may take up residence as effortlessly as a bird returns to its nest. Either way, approaching life with an open heart simply means returning to our true home.

Makes you wonder...

Pull yourself together man. It's not meditation you need but mediation

I would prescribe guiness, maybe a glenmorangie down "The Spitting Llama" followed by an Indian or F&C's on the beach

OK Enuf your bunch of Heathens! ;o)

There are points in a mans life for reflection. Moments when peering into the soul and questioning the heart and mind are required. At these times a reflective, open and non conceited reappraisal of what history has taught us from ones own life can be achieved...

As Monsieur Einstein said "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people."

After meditating on the issues and taking stock of your position, then and only then is it possible to be complete. To look life in the eye whilst throttling the marrow from it and say "Fcuk It, I know I'm right, I always Am, Jesus I'm Good, Fcuk the rest of them!!!"

Viva la Revolution Brothers and Sisters... :o)
