Your Anahata Chakra

Our heart's are so, so, powerful. We all know that. But we don't always go out of our way to connect to that space. Our heart's hold IMMEASURABLE amounts OF BLISS, AND JOY. They hold BEAUTIFUL secrets, and wonder beyond wonder. But they also hold sorrow, and sadness, and our deepest of LONGINGS. And they need our love and focus. They need us to keep them open, to breathe LIFE INTO THEM EVERY DAY. 

The heart's centre governs all of our EMOTIONS, and therefore, truly affects all aspects of our Journey. When we close our hearts, we block the beauty of our prana, of LIFE, of love. Do yourselves a favour and stay open. 

Whether you can connect to your Anahata chakra every day, or once a week, the peace and STILLNESS that comes from that open space cannot be matched. When  your heart beats flawlessly and moves to the natural rhythm of your soul, of your body, you start to attract love and abundance and harmony WITHIN YOUR LIFE.  An open heart, opens you to all of LIFE.  

So, here are my top 5 ways I connect to my heart's space, to my 4th chakra. 

1. Say to yourself, aloud, or WITHIN,' I am open & ready to RECEIVE love. I am open & ready to hear the true beat of my heart. I am open & ready to be fully open-hearted. ' 

2. Breathe. Easy one eh? We forget to more often than not. Take 3 deep, deep, belly breaths, and focus on your heart's centre, and really feel yourself open up to that space, to come back down from your head. 

3. For a sweet & gentle way to re-connect to your Anahata chakra on the run, place your one hand on your heart, and the other on your belly, for even a moment, and feel the BEAUTIFUL beat of your heart dance as your belly RISES up and down. (Feels so good!!)

4. Journal, Journal, Journal!! WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN!! All the good, bad, and ugly. Put all of your sorrows and heartache down on paper, and release them from your BEING. Maybe burn some sage, and cleanse yourself of what does not serve you, of what stops the free flow of your heart's energy. 

5. Love yourself. On the deepest level, yes, love yourself, always, but also love yourself every day. Nurture yourself, follow your BLISS. When we do what we love, and honour ourselves, our hearts feel totally ALIVE. Whether you seek solace WITHIN the warmth of a hot bath, a cup of herbal tea, a long heart to heart talk WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL SISTER, or a walk through nature's beauty, honour that, and go that space. 

So, how can you re-connect to your heart's space today? How do you nurture and honour your heart? 

Love + Light to you all, have a wonderful weekend and send some love to that heart of yours, today, and always. That WILD, WILD, HEART OF YOURS. 

Only Love's Real

Masks, who we feel we are supposed to be, and who everyone else wants us to be. The face we put on to make the rest of the world happy, the perfect person who only feels HAPPINESS. We have all been there, or we know someone who has. I know for me, personally, I have had to really go deep WITHIN myself and accept that I am enough exactly as I am. I have come to a place where I know the only way I can be truly happy, and at harmony's when I am my AUTHENTIC self. What does that mean?

For me, to be my AUTHENTIC self means to accept all parts of me. The good and the bad (or at least what we have been made to see as bad), the LIGHT and the dark. All of the energy and love that flows through me, and all of the sadness and sorrow I have to face so that I may heal. These are all parts of me, and they all make up who I am. The moment I allow myself to accept myself, fully, and completely, then I can allow the energy that does not serve me to pass through. 

I am a VIBRANT soul, a person who dreams of love and knows love can heal us all. A person who feels every EMOTION, and feels most at home when I am at peace WITHIN myself, and when I am surrounded by POSITIVE, wondrous, souls, and loved ones. But I have days when I feel sad, really sad, and days when I feel angry, and scared, and unsure. I know these are all an ILLUSION, that they are not real, because ONLY LOVE'S REAL. I know these EMOTIONS are there for a reason, that I feel them for a reason. To learn from, to accept, and move forward from. We are all a makeup of the energy we feel, and the energy we must release, so that we may grow and blossom. And yet we are taught that we are supposed to have IT ALL TOGETHER always.

Perhaps we are meant to feel, really feel how we feel, and feel the energy that comes up for us, so that we can LOVINGLY love all parts of ourselves, and trust that we are love. 

How can we get to the place of INNER peace and self-acceptance when we are so scared to AUTHENTICALLY be ourselves?

 To be real, completely honest, and own our struggles as much as we own our successes. The moment you accept your struggles, no matter how bad they may seem, as a BEAUTIFUL part of your path to ENLIGHTENMENT then you start to take the shame away. And all those ILLUSIONS that seem to keep us stuck, well they start to fade away more and more. At the end of the day we all go through what we are meant to go through, and the MAGICAL part's that we can take our power back, moment by moment, when accept ourselves fully. When we start to change what we see as good and bad, to STEPPING STONES to our truth, to our love. How can you start to be AUTHENTICALLY you now? Maybe when someone asks you how you feel, be honest, whether you feel truly happy and great, or maybe sad, or you have low energy, maybe that you are HEALING. There's so much beauty that comes from honesty. When we let go of the need to PAINT THE PERFECT PICTURE, and see that we are perfectly IMPERFECT the way that we are. 

Take down the mask, let go of the person you feel you are supposed to be, the person someone wants you to be, and open your  heart to who you are, to the love that you are. There are days we all need rest, days we need a hand to help us through, and then there are days that we SHINE, that our souls RADIATE. Maybe we can learn to accept that together, accept that we are awesome, even when we cannot see past all the other B.S. Accept that when we are AUTHENTICALLY ourselves we learn to truly love ourselves, and when we truly love ourselves, we come back home, come back to that peaceful place where we know and feel that only loves real. 

The Answers You Seek

>Photo found on Tumblr<

I have thought long and hard about what my message to the world,about what my soul’s purpose was. I have done my best to force the answers to appear, and even try to control the outcome. What I have found’s that the harder I try to come across these profound answers, the further away they appeared, and the further away I became from my truth.

So I surrendered! I opened my heart up to the my source, and I slowly began to learn to trust. I trusted that the answers I seek would come to me when I was ready for them.

One of the most profound answers that came to me was that I had to truly embrace the unknown and to trust the ebbs and flows of my Journey. The changes are constant, and they are pure beauty. To be able to go through complete sorrow and then come through eyes open, and heart open, that to me’s one of the greatest comforts, almost as though someone has wrapped a warm blanket around you and you completely melt from that comfort, from the safeness you feel.

That warm blanket of comfort, the safeness, and the courage to trust, they came to me through MEDITATION.  

I can honestly say that meditation was one of the key factors that saved me and taught me how to love myself. When I actually allowed myself to relax, and to breathe, I was able to reconnect to my true essence. I was able to reconnect to love. The process was not always easy, and took months to really  allow myself to get to that place.

The hardest steps are usually the ones we know we have to or need to take.

Meditation allowed me to go within, and to connect to who I really am. Meditation opened up the space for me to heal, and to let go what no longer served me. Day to day, I have been able to release fear, and to let go of fear based thoughts and doubts that kept me closed off to my soul’s purpose. That kept me closed off to pure, sacred, love and harmony.

Whether you have never meditated before, or whether you do so regularly, the peace and answers you seek are ready for you the moment you allow yourself to open up to them. So start somewhere, start anywhere, allow yourself to reconnect to your truth, and to come through the fog that fear has created for you.

We can always choose love, and can always choose to heal, no matter what we have been through. We all have a story, and we all can create a story of courage,love and trust.

WHAT YOU SEEK IS SEEKING YOU.  RUMI
