Awakening & Following Your Hearts Desires
Today's blog post reflects much of the recent energetic shifts & emerging energies of the past few weeks. There has been a build-up within the collective, where many are being encouraged to explore heart-based desires & inspirations. You may have noticed an increasing need or sense of urgency surrounding the feelings or thoughts based on…
…“what do I want?”
Much of societal conditioning pushes us to be focused on & inspired by the expectations, wants, needs & judgments of others. You may have also noticed how much of what you have desired or strived for in the past has been because of others.
Now is the time to ask yourself what it is that YOU truly desire. Allow this question to be applied to every aspect of your life. The more you ask, the more your heart feels safer & more comfortable to answer, & the more you will give yourself the space & time to listen to it.
Awakening your Desire
This process is one that may incite fear. As many of the collective have been discouraged to listen to, trust & follow our hearts desires. It is entirely normal to feel fear when it comes to desiring or wanting for yourself. The goal here is to be aware of the fear & to better understand where it is coming from.
What limiting beliefs support the fear that arises when you desire something for yourself?
Once you can understand & be aware of the source of the fear, it helps you to detach & separate yourself from the fear. The fear is not you. The fear is not the only possible outcome. The fear is not your truth, if you choose otherwise.
You have the capacity to choose to follow your desire, whilst moving through the fear. The fear dissipates once you choose to follow your hearts desires. The fear is essentially an Invitation to evolve. When you choose to be & do from your heart space, from YOUR true desires, you evolve, & embody more of your authentic self.
You become more of YOU.
Identifying your Desire
Another difficult part of this process is being able to identify YOUR TRUE DESIRES. There are many ways in which you can do this. There are many ways in which the heart, body & soul speak to us & guide us towards more of ourself.
Your intuition is a direct reflection of your hearts desires. As it is also a direct reflection of your future self & path. There is never a wrong decision or path, as every path allows you to experience more of yourself, even sometimes through the path of experiencing what is not yourself. To know who you are, you must experience everything, so you can decide who you are not. This process requires acceptance, forgiveness & understanding.
When your intuition speaks to you, it is always your choice to listen & to choose your path forward. No matter the choice, you will always come to a greater understanding of yourself. However, the path that is guided by your intuition is one that Is connected to your true heart-based desires. The ones that originate from a self beyond fear & conditioning. The ones that are encompassed in freedom & unconditional love.
Guided Meditation: Awaken your Awareness of the Hearts Desires
To help you establish a ‘greater’ connection to your heart space so that you can listen to & follow your desires, here is a guided meditation I have created for you.
Find a space that is soft, relaxing & brings you a feeling of peace. Find a spot where you can sit or lay & ease into comfort. When you are in that space, allow your body to relax. Focus on your breath & allow yourself to fall deeper & deeper into relaxation with every inhale & exhale. Allow yourself to soften & soften. Allow your body to relax. Let the tension flow & fall away softly. Become aware of these feelings, & notice the sensations in your gut space & heart space. How does it feel? Explore that feeling, & become aware of the thoughts that come. Thank the thoughts for showing themselves. Thank your gut space & heart space for showing you how they feel. Thank yourself for feeling & thinking. Thank yourself for finding comfort & for allowing ease.
Now begin to draw attention to the mind space. Become aware of how busy it feels. Is there calmness? Or is there restlessness? Whatever the feelings in the mind space, let yourself feel thankful for it. As you feel gratitude for the mind space & its expressions, allow your focus to drop into your heart space. Begin this by focusing on the physical feelings of your heart. Is there a heaviness? Is there a softness? Is there any discomfort? Is there any aches or pains? Is there any tightness? Is there contentness?
Now begin to explore these physical feelings, & slowly shift into the emotions. If there is pain, how does make you feel emotionally? Let your focus stay in the heart space. Let yourself feel the emotion that is sitting there. Let yourself relax into the emotion. Let your body find ease in the physical & emotional feelings. Let your breath calm you & hold space for your feelings. Let yourself feel all that you are feeling in your heart. Let yourself feel thankful for all these heart space feelings. Let yourself sink deeper into the rest of your heart space. Know that your heart space capactity is infinite. There is always more to feel. More joy, passion, excitement, curiosity, love, gratitude, desire.
Let yourself explore the other feelings. Find the joy, & embrace it. Thank the joy. Find the passion, & embrace it. Thank the passion. Find the excitement, & embrace it. Thank the excitement. Find the love, & embrace it. Thank the love. Find the gratitude, & embrace it. Thank the gratitude. Find the desire, & embrace it. Thank the desire. Focus on the feelings in the heart space & let it flow into the rest of your body. Feel it in your chest, your belly, your hips, pelvis, legs, feet, back, arms, hands, throat, & head. What thoughts accompany these greater feelings. Where does the joy take you? Where does the passion take you? Where does the excitement take you? Where does the love take you? Where does the gratitude take you? Where does the desire take you? Follow where these emotions take you. Let them expand inside your whole body. Let your mind bring thought to these emotions. Let yourself create a path that follows the joy, the passion, the excitement, the love, the gratitude & the desire.
