Heart Connection

Every week, I write a channeled angel message.  I love doing these because I'm always amazed at what words and messages come through.  Always encouraging, expanding and loving, these messages just feel good.  It's not really the end result that I look forward to, it's the actual energetic process.  Again, it feels good!  The feeling is more serene and fulfilling and I'm just receiving information!  So I thought I would share this week's message.

The human heart contains so much energy and yet it can be a place that some may not want to be in.

Like any other part in the human energetic blueprint, the heart can hold old attachments, emotions and events.

And perhaps that is why most do not want to go there.

If you take your awareness to your heart, you will find compassion.

Compassion for yourself, for your life, for where you are, where you have been and for where you are going.

You may find that it is quiet and comforting.

You may even find peace.

You may hear, see or just know what your heart is telling you.

Because within it is the keeper.  The keeper of you.

It holds the vastness of you.

That vastness is the same as the Universe, God, or Source.

You can go to the depths of the Universe by going within yourself.

Bypass the distractions of the mind by going into your heart.

To Have or Not To Have? That is the question.

My partner and I were having a discussion, of nothing in particular really until he said something to the effect of me changing people's minds.  I responded that I can't change people's minds.  In which he replied, "You change people's hearts."  And I said, "No.  I don't do that either."  Then he said, "I thought you do energy healing?"

Ay, there's the rub.  I think there are misconceptions about energy work, massage therapy and other healing modalities.  If I help a client release limiting beliefs, non-beneficial energies, emotions and past events but if on some level they don't believe they deserve to be healthy or they believe that the past dictates who they are now or anything of the like, those energies that were just let go of will probably come back.  Not all of them but some of them.  If you can't have or own the new changes or the new awareness that is occurring then you might revert back to an old pattern.

Everyone has a choice.  This is kind of similar to my Stay or Run? post.  Do you choose to stay in the old paradigm or move to the new one?  Sometimes it takes those 'aha!' moments to show us what is for our highest good.  Those moments don't even have to be big.  Aha's are really realizations, right?  Shining the light on something that was probably right in front of your face but couldn't see.  Those moments can also take the form of deciding for yourself that you want something different.  And not just wanting it but having the determination that you're going to have it no matter what.

If we go back into an old pattern that doesn't mean we're doing something wrong, or this is how it's always going to be, it may just be the process.  It could be a very deep, core belief that in order for it to be dismantled it needs to be done so a little at a time.  If you were to rip away something that was so ingrained and attached to your identity and you did so in one big, fast movement, can you imagine what would happen?  You would probably go guano crazy. (If you don't know the definition of guano, google it).  So be gentle with yourself the next time you're going through a transition period (aka growth period).

Stay or Run?

It has been said that the best way to work through your crap is to be in a relationship with someone.  Because then how else are you supposed to see yourself?  How else are you supposed to see your buttons, your blocks, your lovely neuroses?  And of course these buttons are not fuzzy kittens.  More like fuzzy kittens clawing up your leg but your leg doesn't have enough traction so the kittens slide down leaving bloody tracks kind of buttons.

All those buttons suck when they're activated.  When your partner inadvertently pushes it.  And suddenly you freak out.  Whether that's analyzing what they said or certain emotions coming up and then being swallowed by those emotions.  And then memories flash back to when you were a kid and your mom or dad is yelling at you or kids in school are making fun of you or anything else that just exponentially adds to what you're feeling.

When confronted with it, everyone deals with it in their own way.  My way is to retreat.  Pull inward, get quiet and hide.  I think it's more of trying to hide and run away from what I'm feeling.  But then you'd think that if you pull more inward, well you're just putting yourself deeper into that big pile of crap.  However, outwardly expressing how you're feeling is a lot scarier than that big pile of crap.  Sure it's smelly but at least you won't get whacked by an invisible monster constructed by your own mind.

So we can look at it in 2 ways: 1) "Why is this happening, again?!  This sucks.  Why did he/she have to say that?"  And continue to bitch and moan, all the while your button remains in the exact same place and still activated.  Even if you rationalize your feelings or bury it enough or use some other coping mechanism to the point where you feel somewhat "normal" again, most likely that button is still there it just went into latent-mode.  Therefore, the button still exists.  2) It is a perfect time for healing.  When all that crap is staring you right in the face is a great opportunity to move it out.  Otherwise you're still going to hold on to it and then it's just going to repeat itself in a different situation.

If you're in a relationship with someone and these things come up, you may want to run away. Either temporarily or perhaps even breaking up with the person entirely because you don't feel safe.  You start to get overwhelmed by everything and you think it'll just be easier to leave.  However, everything is happening within you so you really can't leave yourself, unless you do it in a drug-related way which I do not think is beneficial.  So if it's with you, you will carry it everywhere - to every relationship, job, crazy family function, whatever.  You can make the decision to either deal with it now or later.  It can be very uncomfortable but just know that it's temporary.  By dealing with it later, you're merely delaying your own healing and growth.  Healing and growth to me is breaking those cycles and patterns we detest and don't want to keep happening as well as creating new, healthy beliefs to operate from.
