Where do you live your life from – your mind or your heart?
I see this a lot in my coaching practice – a person experiences hurt, shuts down their heart, decides to live from their mind and then they wonder why, after time rolls by, life has lost it’s vibrancy, juiciness and wonder?
If you’ve ever suffered heartache then this process can happen unconsciously. If you are an adult it’s more than likely you have experienced loss or hurt, right? It can show up in so many different ways – not being able to find a new partner, being closed to new experiences, feeling trapped by your job, choosing not to spend money on yourself, feeling defensive or angry and wondering what the hell is the purpose of life? All these roads lead us back to our own level of self love.
It can be hard for the heart and mind to trust each other after a painful experience.
It’s also imperative.
If you want to experience joy, you need to trust your heart. You need to have the courage to listen to your heart’s desires and take action on them. That is what brings you joy!
Your rational mind is always looking to keep you safe and FEELING is one of the scariest things we can experience as human beings!
There is a way though. I’ve taken hundreds of people through the process where you realize your feelings are actually supporting you and showing you where energy is blocked. Negative feelings are a call for greater self awareness. Unblock the energy and you can move forward with ease and grace. Leave it there and it can be like a dam where the pressure just grows and grows.
So if life is not open, easy and joyful for you, if it’s not showing up in happy relationships, feeling empowered and with abundance then I know for sure you are not listening to, or following, your heart. Your heart is coded for the truth. It will always want to take you to the place that the mind will consider scary. The trick is to do it anyway.
The only way out is through. Drop me a line and let’s do it together.
Many blessings, Rebecca. xx
