LIVING FROM THE HEART

Did the complex, “unfinished business” from the past weigh heavily on you before? By doing this course, you’ve gathered some helpful tools and techniques to release this burden of past misunderstandings, conditioning, and regrets. Now you’ve created space to be Your Self! Now your heart is ready and, on its way, to truly open to genuine feelings of compassion for yourself as well as for others. The intent with which you do or don’t do things is what matters most. Continuing on this path, you’ll discover every day a little more about how you feel about people and things, deep in your heart. That is when you will effectively sense the difference between Direct and Indirect Motivation.

To review, Indirect Motivation is rooted in your Early Childhood Survival Strategy— a survival system that you experience as a matter of life and death. Direct Motivation, on the other hand, comes directly from the heart and is rooted in the “bigger picture” of life itself. It’s true, we are not perfect, and shouldn’t strive to be. We know each one of us has our own flaws and some of those we just have to accept. We also know we are all subject to universal laws that govern reality as we know it. So, here’s a gentle reminder to remain humble and grateful for life as it is—here and now, the way we are in this very moment.

Life can be an adventure, a treasure hunt if you choose to see it that way, and the treasure to discover is YOURSELF!

When I was developing the Sense of Self Method, I had no idea that applying this method to oneself would actually function as a bridge to a New World. A bridge that leads from the Old World in which Ratio was King, to living from the heart. Even though the physical distance between your head and your heart is no more than a few inches, it is said that this journey is one of the longest you’ll ever make in your lifetime. With this in mind, don’t give up! Keep moving forward…

We live in a time when new healing methods are being developed in rapid succession. By using these plant medicines, you can gain a tremendous amount of insight into your own psyche and into the principles that govern the world and the cosmos as a whole. MDMA and Ketamine are synthetic substances whose psychoactive effects have proven to be effective treatment methods for persistent forms of depression and trauma in general. Often, after using these substances, a healthier appreciation for life itself occurs spontaneously, which makes you think differently about things and therefore do things differently. This type of medicine is especially beneficial for those of us with deep-rooted Early Childhood Survival Strategies that are now the cause of our physical, emotional, and psychological issues.

Open your heart and feel the world from your most genuine frequency.

What does “Living from the heart” mean? How do you do that? The answer you might come up with may include releasing your past experience with all its rules and regulations. Your parents (caretakers), and other authority figures adhered strictly to certain values and principles, which in those days seemed sensible and the “correct way” of living a fulfilled life. Most of us were conditioned to believe that following a certain path that was suggested, or even enforced upon us, would lead to great success and happiness. This is clearly not the case with many people on the planet. This way of living is now old-fashioned but it is still lingering and respected on a larger scale. Unfortunately, this approach to life taught us to live on autopilot: go to school, go to college, get a job, get married, have children… and then be happy with your grandchildren until death takes you away peacefully.

Nowadays, this ideal is shifting because many people are waking up—exhausted from all those rules and goals that are supposed to lead us to “success.” After all, isn’t this life yours and yours alone? Should you not be allowed and taught to decide for yourself how you want to live it? And, if you believe in karma, doesn’t each one of us have different karma to fulfill in this life? How are you supposed to achieve this if you always have to live within the strict framework of socially accepted patterns and rules?

Living from the heart has everything to do with doing things that make you happy. It’s important to surround yourself with people you admire, who support you in the things you care about. This may require you to let go of anyone whose energy is draining and not in full support of your goals and dreams. Spend time with, and give your energy to people who really care about you, who give you positive vibes, and who love you unconditionally. The same is valid for leisure activities and work. If possible, choose things that you like, things that resonate with your essence, your spirit, and your soul. Let everything else sail away…

When you live from the heart, you surrender to the truth within your inner Self, understanding what it feels like to live in the flow. When you’re in the flow of life, you are in tune with your intuition and aligned with purpose, people, and plans that bring you joy. Living from the heart, in flow, results in optimal mental health, creative inspiration, and seemingly effortless productivity. The agenda that used to pin you down to those “all-important” goals imposed by your Ego or society fades from your reality as you are guided instead, by your intuition. Intuition IS direct guidance from the Universe, God, Higher Self, Source, or whatever you believe.

When you have let go of your Ego‘s agenda and face your addiction and the tendency of your autopilot to dominate you, your life will change for the better. Something that was always there, but you were unable to recognize, reveals itself to you i.e., synchronicity and synergy. These are two forces of nature in which the Higher Intelligent Energies communicate with you and guide you to complete your mission in this life. These energies show up as seemingly random happenings or meetings with people and your skill/availability determines whether you recognize them as road signs indicating that you are, or are not, on the right track. Fascinating!

Ready to live in the here and now? Close your eyes and take in this moment while taking a deep breath in. Fill your lungs fully with the Now. This moment isn’t the past or the future. NOW is really the only moment that counts. This moment is your real life. The rest is imagination or memory!

Celebrate and appreciate the wonders of life and express gratitude for your existence. And now, what will you happily do with your sacred power and ability to make your world a better place for yourself and others?

Guided Journal to a Healthy Sense of Self

Day 47

I want to be myself.
You want to be yourself.
He/She wants to be himself.
We want to be ourselves.
You want to be yourself.
They want to be themselves!

We all want and need to be able to be ourselves!
So let’s work on
restoring and strengthening our Sense of Self
because
it takes a Healthy Sense of Self
to fully be yourSelf.

Let’s talk about how to dethrone your mind from its position of power. We’ve arrived in a new, different world and we have no examples to follow. Let’s be trendsetters as we enter this new world.

Traditionally we come from a mainly linear worldview, but now we need to adjust to a circular worldview, where everything is present simultaneously and where, energetically, we are all one. We drop the ego as we move into this world of awareness of the All, the Universe, and the Universal Energies. Let’s tighten our girths and invest in staying informed while actively contributing to this changing world.

Remember, the mind is just an extraordinary tool to solve problems. The center of our Being is in the mid-section of our body: the heart, the intestines, and other important organs. Some philosophers and neuroscientists consider the heart and gut our real brain or our second, more intuitive brain. Let’s put aside our thinking minds and become proficient in the love language of our inner selves.

I hope these words will inspire you to take action and continue your journey of discovery of your Real Self. The Healthy Sense of Self Course is now finished, and you are on your own! Your journey doesn’t end here though; it continues indefinitely for each of us individually and in our own way. And at the very end of it all, no doubt we’ll meet again.

Thank you, I have been thrilled to be at your side on this journey. I hope you will honor your commitment to living a life that’s truly yours! You know that, by doing so, you make our world a better place.
