Conversations With My Heart

How do you know what direction to go in your life? How do you know what to do next? Or even what you want?
Over the past few months I have decided to take some time to answer these questions for myself, by learning to listen to my heart.
In my conversations with my heart I have found that my deepest desires lay within it like a fragrant rose waiting to bloom. Within the center of my heart there is everything I long for which brings me joy, love, and bubbly feelings, just waiting to be released.
What is truth? What is my truth? My heart has all the answers and knows what is true for me.
I have found that the biggest block to listening to my heart is my mind. My heart knows what “feels” right, but what feels right to the heart often does not make sense to the mind. The mind gets frustrated because it cannot see how it will attain the goal of what feels right so it begins to flood your thoughts with negative chatter and ways in which it is NOT going to work out. So if you fall into the minds trap then you will always find yourself in a world of illusion and limitation, stuck in a web of doubt and despair. The mind says you are done, before you have even begun, leaving you stuck and frozen.
I am here to remind you that YOU are the master of your mind and within the heart there are no limitations, all is possible there.
To listen to your heart you need to have trust and faith. Trust that your heart knows where it is going and knows what is right for you, even if you don’t know how you are going to get there at this moment. I assure you that everything will be revealed in perfect time if you just believe in your heart, and have faith in the process.
It takes courage to stay true to your heart no matter what your mind or outside forces tell you is best for you. It takes strength to listen. Only YOU know what is best for you. But with practice, listening to your heart becomes second nature again, because it is real and true. Listening to your heart is the natural way.
I would suggest that if you need to make an important decision, take your time, there is no need to rush. Relax, breathe deeply, lay down and put your hands over your heart and listen. Your heart will tell you if it is a good time to make a move, or if you need to wait for more information. You will know the right answer because it will feel right, you’ll get a feeling of inspiration, a gush of joy and excitement, and this means you are on the right track.
You are the master of your mind and you hold the key to your heart, open it up there are many magical gifts waiting for you!
YOU are deeply loved.
