Healing the Heart

Sometimes, when I forget my purpose here on earth, I ask myself, "What am I supposed to be doing,” as if what I am "doing" or "being" is not enough. Then it occurs to me, once again, for the hundredth time, the most important purpose on earth. The answer is that it is not to see another client, or give another lecture, or write another blog. All of that counts of course, but there is more to my purpose here on earth. I am here to heal my heart and pass on this important information to other people so that they can choose to do the same. It takes focus and will-power to work on healing oneself; not get side-tracked or buy into other people's ideas of what you should or should not be doing. It is also challenging dealing with the endless chatter of the mind telling you that there is more to do, to accomplish-maybe then you will feel satisfied. In fact, the endless chatter of the mind distracts from the real reason for being here on earth and that is healing the heart.

It is challenging to heal the heart because there are days when energy is low, tiredness seeps in; health is not what it should be; loneliness and loss of motivation takes center stage. Or perhaps someone we love, or even a stranger or co-worker at work is unhappy, gets moody, and rejects us. We just don’t know what happened! The mental chatter and obsessions begin. “Why did they do that?” Then our focus is off of ourselves and our healing. We place our energy into another person hoping to change their behavior which obviously we can do nothing about. Healing our hearts begins with bringing the focus, the attention, back to ourselves. It begins with taking care of ourselves. Building a daily self-care program and creating good self-care habits is the start. For busy people, it is easier said than done, but it is a must! If we don’t feel physically well, then it is hard to be the loving, compassionate person we want to be. And it is difficult to heal the emotional wounds of the heart.

Begin your day with a closed eye process. Meditation is important to balancing the right and left sides of the brain. It eases the endless chatter in the mind. Do this for ten, to fifteen, to twenty minutes a day. At the end of the meditation, place your hand on your heart. Breathe in and out and mentally send healing to your heart. Tap lightly on the center of your chest. Breathe love and light into your heart center, your heart chakra. Tell yourself that you are a good person just as you are! Do this until you feel good, relaxed, and believe this affirmation to be true.

Then move on to a brisk walk, a swim, or some form of exercise that you like to do.

Reach out to a friend, a family member. Pick up the phone. Waiting for others to call can be a waste of time. It is always hard to make the first move and reach out to others. Research shows us that having friends in our lives brings quality to our day and we may even live longer!

So dear friends, wishing you a happy day filled with love, light, healing and many blessings,
