A little peek into my morning practice lately!

As I learn to more deeply listen to my body and BE embodied (this has been a LONG and winding road) I’ve been asking the Intuitive Heart for guidance, and learning to discern when an answer is coming from my mind or from my Heart.

It goes a little something like this! ✨ 30 minutes of meditation to gently and lovingly settle my mind and sink into my body ✨ From this calm centered space that I AM, I begin feeling into my Intuitive Heart. I ask Her to come forward, and then take time to explore Her, feel Her. I note the qualities, textures, colors, energy patterns, feelings, words — anything that wants to reveal itself in this space of Heart. ✨ Then I ask a question of desire directly to my Heart, whatever that might be. Today the question was: What would you like to do today my love? What would delight you?
.
✨Then I:
👁 Listen - closely
🤲🏽 Trust - what She has to say
💕 Honor - physically + mentally what comes through
🙏🏽 Thank Her! - for sharing
♾ Then I go do the thing and observe how I feel!

This practice of listening, trusting, honoring, thanking and acting has built up TRUST within myself around my desires. I am well practiced at listening, trusting, honoring and acting on what my mind has to say, but as I slowly move from a mind centered life to a heart centered life, I have witnessed my world expand. I have seen into new realms of delight, play, connection, honesty, abundance, concentration and magic, and I’m intrigued 🥰

In the quiet of meditation and deep listening, I am building up the rememberance of how the Intuitive Heart feels, what She sounds like and how she expresses, so that when I’m out in the loud, energetic situations of life, I can hear the Intuitive Hearts call and response. I now find myself asking the Heart almost everything! What would you like to eat? What time would you like to go to bed? Who would you like to hang out with? What would you like to work on today? How would you like to play today? What would feel nourishing to do today? Her answers amaze me!
