Listening to Your Heart

August 18th, 2009

The heart is an unerring compass within each one of you.
The heart knows the soul better than the mind does.
Unless your mind is in the service of the heart
it becomes a warped and twisted master.
 
The only path that is right for you
is the one that is already designed within you.
To find this path you have to hear your own heart.
There simply is no other way.
 
While the small mind, in its fear, is rigid and controlling,
the deeper part of you will begin to whisper
the truth of your eternal safety and your Oneness with God.
So listen to your heart.
This is where your Light is and your truth.

        from ‘Emmanuel’s Book’  by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton

It is easy to overlook the calling of our hearts. Everything in the culture around us clamors for attention or ‘more’.  The call of the heart is quiet.

The call of our heart is reflected in our emotions. When we feel joy and peace, when we feel assurance – that is our heart telling us ‘this is good’. When we feel fear, anger, judgement, or misgivings – that is our small, ego mind pulling us away from the love that always comes from God’s Voice. Which is where our heart is connected.

You can ask your heart what it has to tell you. Put your attention on your heart center at the center of your chest. Ask what it thinks. What do you feel?

Choose to listen to God’s voice, the voice of assurance and love. It is your choice.
