Living a Mindful Life Through The Heart

Mindfulness is a practice of living in the present moment, not looking to the past and not feeling a need to control the future, but to stand in the energy of the present moment.  This dear souls is sometimes easier said than done when we are in our head trying to figure things out independent of our heart.

Fear has a way of shifting our focus away from the heart and taking control of our thought processes. Fear has many faces. It expresses itself as worry, angst, anxiety, distrust, resentment, anger, jealousy etc.  You get the picture, right? You are not alone.  We can all relate.

When our mind stands alone it stands in fear and can become negative, scared and critical because it is standing without the Creator’s loving protection.  

As these negative thoughts, self-doubt and anxious feelings began to creep in we begin to move further from our heart.

The heart holds the highest truth for is aligned with our soul, and God will for us.

Living a mindful life begins with gratitude.  Gratitude is the energy that opens the heart.

Living a mindful life requires a connection with the heart.

Staying heart centered is when the mind feels it’s safest because it is under the loving protection of the Creator.

Our heart holds the highest truth and is our true north and the connection to our soul and the creator deep within our being.

The soul is aligned with the heart and with God‘s will which is the highest way to live our life. A life of love, peace, joy, and harmony.

The mind is one of 5 energy centers created within our energy field and is the center of our motivation and our will power.

The mind provides us with courage to begin and start anew and organizes all of our thoughts.

Our mind helps us to reflect, understand and observe what is happening around us.  When our mind is protected and at one with God we are able to see clearly and wisely.  

The mind was never meant to stand alone but rather it was meant to work together with our other energy centers; the heart, the soul, the vision and the body.

Our soul always aligns with the heart and God‘s will for us.  We were always meant to live in unity with the creator. This unity energy is the highest expression of our life.  To live a life in partnership with God centered in peace, joy, love and harmony. 

When all of our thoughts are protected by the Creator they return to the highest thoughts and the deepest truths. This is the true definition of protection, to be at one with God.  

When our mind is unified and held by the divine it feels so much comfort and relief.  Our thoughts become peaceful and the mind respects our entire being.

When the mind is in a healthy state, it looks at everything and everyone as being important and so precious.  

When our perception is clear it is one of the greatest gifts we have.  When our perception is unclear we can become irrational, obsessed, confused, judgmental or head down a rabbit hole.

The Creator always wishes for our actions to come from a place of tranquility.  Our every move to be powerful but from a wellspring of serenity.  We are the divines peace in motion.

The divine is always working to help us hold this vibration of peace in our life.

So my friends here is simple practice to begin each day:  

Sit in a quiet and comfortable space centering yourself in the present moment.

Close your eyes and place your hands over your heart.  Hold gratitude for this sacred time you have set aside for you and the Creator.

Take 3 slow deep breaths. Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your nose finishing your breath out the mouth. 

Breathe in and in your mind say to the Creator I lay my worries at your feet.

Breathe in and in your mind say to the Creator bring my mind under your loving protection.

Breathe in and in your mind say to the Creator let all my thoughts begin with my heart and your divine spirit within me.

Begin with this prayer, invocation and mantra:

Beloved Creator I lay my worries down at your feet and I trust the path that you have designed for my life. 

I ask that all my thoughts begin with my heart and your divine spirit within me.  Help me to stay heart centered so my mind will experience a deep feeling of your safety, love and protection.

Guide me down the path you wish me to travel in my life.  Plan my day according to your will which is always the highest and best for my life.  A life centered in peace, joy, love and harmony. 

And so it is! Amen!

Sit in this moment with the Creator as long as you wish.
