getting heart centered!

DSCN1103a

I wanted to remind you about being in your heart center. We talked about this earlier. Resting in your heart is the first step in engaging your heart-mind. There are many ways to get yourself seated in your heart. An easy one is taking an elevator from the center of your head to the center of your heart. Then allowing with your breath to sink deeply into your heart center. Imagine your breath moving in and out of your heart center for a minute or so. This will anchor you in your heart!

Dr. Peebles, channeled by Natalie Gianelli (http://nataliegianelli.com/) has a wonderful trick. He suggests that throughout the day, you touch your heart center. This is a gentle reminder of where you want to be. It brings you to your heart center in a conscious way. It always brings a smile to my face too!

My guides added these thoughts about your heart center:

Your heart center is your spiritual connection. You are in touch with all parts of yourself in this place and at the same time you are in touch with all that is.

Residing in your heart center affords the most flexible place for you to be. Your heart center offers you choices that would not arise from your ego-mind. The ego-mind offers choices based on safety and experience. The heart-mind offers choices based on love and expansiveness.

Thanks for being in your heart center! Much love, Linda

step into your heart

DSC_1342a

The other morning my guides continued the discussion about the heart-mind. The guides who are talking with us are a blending of a group consciousness called Helios and another who I call the Angelics. Here is what they had to say:

The benefits of engaging the heart-mind are not obvious when viewed from the ego-mind. However, when viewing your external world, you begin to see some of the benefits. Right now the ego-mind in many cases is making a stand for its survival. This is not the total contributing factor to all those things you find disturbing in your world but it does contribute its fair share. So, first step out of judgment. All parts of the human psyche fight for their lives when they feel challenged. We would suggest not to challenge the ego-mind rather to allow the heart-mind to gently begin to support the ego-mind by suggesting other possibilities.

This can be done by going inside and first observing your ego-mind and then in meditation or observation offering suggestions that arise from sinking into your heart center and listening. Give yourself time to practice. You may have success and you may have stumbling blocks. Stay with the process.

To clarify the process, the guides are talking about, first, observe a reaction arising from your ego-mind, then, allow your awareness to drop into your heart center and let a new response arise. Then rising back into your head and look at the possibilities your heart has presented. Practice this as a review of life events to start with, then begin to use it in “real time” when you feel comfortable.

The process can be done as a review while you rest before getting out of bed or before sleep in the evening. Let your heart center offer differing solutions for what might have arisen during the day. Then feel into the possible responses and allow your ego-mind to feel them as well. Notice the responses from your ego-mind.

Noticing how the ego-mind responds to the alternative actions will give you an understanding of how the two minds work. The next step will be to use the action of sinking into your heart center in daily life. Particularly, when the ego-mind wants to take charge.

It is important to be an impartial observer of your ego-mind. Your ego-mind is merely doing the job it was designed to do. Gentle love and caring is what will ease your way through this process.

Thanks for Stepping into your Heart-Mind! Much love, Linda

in the quiet

As a follow on to the longer piece my guides wrote:

In the quiet of your heart there is a place where you can rest. In this quiet place you will find peace in the stillness.

The peace you find is the promise of the Divine. The Divine who holds you always in love. The Divine who is a part of you and connects you to all life. Thanks for being in your heart! Much love, Linda

listen to your heart!

DSC_8695b

My guides have been talking to me for several years about the heart-mind. This is the mind we are moving into now. They suggested that it would be a good time to write something a little longer than my regular blog about the heart-mind. I will be doing this in installments. The blogs will be a combination of quotes (in italic writing) from the guides and my input (regular typing). We will talk about what I am calling the ego-mind which is what we have been using to navigate the world all our lives and the heart-mind which is what we have been engaging on occasion and seeing how it works in the world.

You are familiar with life lived through the ego-mind. You are being asked now to choose. Choose the way of your being and expression. It is stepping off into a vast unknown but we would suggest looking around with open eyes. There are many who are choosing the expression of the heart-mind and offer an image of a new world of possibilities.

Let’s take a look at the ego-mind. First, let me say that the ego is important to you. It has been tasked with keeping you safe in your life. The ego works in many ways which we don’t always attribute to keeping us safe. Sometimes it seems like it is asking us to puff up and be larger than we are. Sometimes it may seem to want us to hide. Think of the ego as a child sent to do an adult job. It doesn’t know how to approach the task. When it does a task and the approach works, then that is the approach the ego will take the next time presented with a similar situation. The behavior will become automatic in some cases. What my guides are suggesting (and many other guides too) is that it is time to let the ego-mind rest and engage the heart-mind.

So, now the dilemma of giving up something that has served and protected you so well. How to let go of your intellect, how about expanding it to include your heart and allowing that expansion to be called your heart-mind. The heart-mind embraces the intellectual process but recognizes that it has shortfalls.

Thus the intellect is honored and continues on the journey with its human but is now co-driving the journey and shortly enjoying the ride while the heart drives. If the process is allowed to progress as an opening or an expansion of the individual with the intellectual mind moving from the driver’s seat, to the co-pilot, to passenger seat, it is a gentle transition allowing the heart to move from the backseat or maybe the trunk even into the co-pilot seat and finally driving.

It is not necessarily stress free but it is certainly a clear step wise transition.

Starting to be aware of your heart and your heart’s desires is a good place to start to understand what the heart-mind might be and feel like to engage.

Your heart is the main gateway in the physical body to your Divinity.  So step one, becomes finding your heart. Do this in little steps. Do this through your feelings. Your heart understands the world through how it makes you feel. So, little steps. How does looking at a beautiful sky make you feel? Start your day by looking at the sky and feel what you feel. Do not judge it just notice and acknowledge the feeling.

Then throughout the day, let your eyes rest on something before you and see how it makes you feel. Again do not judge the feeling just acknowledge how it makes you feel and move on.

These are a few things to think on and try. I will be posting more over the coming little bit. In the meantime, Thanks for listening to your heart! Much love, Linda

grounding revisited

DSC_1206a

Grounding has been taught in many ways. The way I learned it was as a cord or tree trunk dropping from the base of my spine to the center of the earth. Worked very well. Some teach grounding that doesn’t go all the way to the center of the earth but to varying depths. Some teach grounding from different places in the body. They all work and have been very helpful to those who use grounding.

Grounding was to help our physical bodies release excess or foreign energies. Energies that were not helpful to us on a physical level. Grounding also served another purpose and that purpose has become more and more important. It helps us to anchor our Higher Selves into our physical form. At the same time helping the physical body adjust to holding more and more energy.

The energies our physical forms are adapting to is in the form of light and love which is our energy. The energy of our Higher Self. Our Higher Selves are far more energy than will fit into our physical body’s form. Our bodies are being held by our Higher Self at the same time the integration is taking place. So, what is the integration about? We have lived in a level of density that we for the sake of a name will call the third dimension. As a dense form we had the pleasures of living on earth but not the knowledge of our Divine nature. The times are changing. We are physical form. Our body is becoming lighter in multiple senses of the word. We are becoming less dense physically. We are able to hold more light. Hopefully lightening up all around!

The question about grounding as we transition from density to becoming fully integrated with our Higher Selves came up in a conversation I had the other day with a friend. Here is what my guides have to say on the subject:

Each of you is a magnificent large – larger than you can imagine – column of light. Your light is brilliant and your light is love. You may ground in a few different ways. The grounding going forward will serve other purposes than the grounding you are familiar with. For the transition into an integrated being, we would suggest a grounding to the heart center of the earth and the heart center of the Universe. It is not important to pin point these places on a map, your intention will allow the connection. This becomes a connection rather than a grounding. It allows you to place yourself in space and time on the earth plane. You are then on the map! This gives you security in your changes and helps you to release excess and foreign energies. This is an extension of the grounding you are familiar with.

As you move into a fully integrated being, you will make connections through your heart center. The connection through your heart center will be first with your Divinity and then with the collective you are part of. This connections allows you to be in communication with the energies associated with you. This will include all consciousness in the form of people, animals, plants and so on. The earth will be part of the group of associates, as might other planets or stars.

We suggest that you each continue to practice connection and communication whether it be with the earth alone as most do now with traditional grounding or with the earth’s and universe’s heart centers, or with your heart’s Divine center and the associates you are in connection and communication with.

We leave you this day in peace and in love. Allow your thinking to flow to the connection and communication. This is what Divinity is guiding you towards. Our blessings to each this day.

Many of you have read my short book Patterns of Oneness. It is now on this website (https://lindasaurenman.com/patterns-of-oneness/). Under the exercises in what would be the back of a regular book, exercise 2 under Joy, has a nice way of moving your energy and affirming your connection to the heart of the earth and heart of the universe.  Thanks for grounding in whatever way feels the most comfortable to you now! Much love!! Linda

open to you!

DSC_0718b

This morning my guides talked with me about an open heart.

An open heart is one who meets the world and all in it as an equal partner. An open heart knows on every level that it is at one with all. So, how can the partnership be anything but equal?

They continued,

As the pain, fear, and sorrow leave one’s energy field, the heart gently opens to the knowing of its connection to all things. This is the promise of a new day, a beautiful sun rise. Your heart opening to the beauty, joy and love that you are.

We are moving through an intense period of time. Keep in mind that it is here to accelerate and serve you. Be willing to step out of who you thought you were into who you are. Thank you for loving yourself today! I love you and send you much much love! Linda

awaken

1994 crocus

Today my angelic guides wrote to me about letting our old stories become part of our ancient history and move into an awakened person creating new stories from our Divine core.

We are here to remind each of you that at your core, you are Divine. Over that core of Divinity you have created stories and ideas about who you are. As this year progresses, many and perhaps all those ideas and beliefs will become part of a wondrous adventure story as you release your attachment to them and embrace the knowledge of your true identity.

We ask that each rest in the awareness of your story and the Divinity that you are. As you allow the story to come into alignment with the Divinity, you will move into a place of new expression. All the adventures that have been experienced will come to be understood and appreciated. Your Divine core will expand and if you release into that, you will add a new adventure to your experiences. The experience of awakening from the dreams that have been your lives and embracing the limitless possibilities present in your Divinity.

Thanks for waking up! Lots of love! Linda

be love!

2015 Adriana and Zolly's DSC_0114a

I was writing with my guides the other day and when we were about to close the session they wrote:

We leave you with this thought for today. It is your spring time. It is the time when the story of the promise of Christ is highlighted. What is the story of Christ but a story of a man who found and embraced his Divine Center, his love. He then brought his love into the world. You too can open to your Divine Center and share your love with the world.

As nature re-awakens in spring, we too can re-awaken to that deepest part of ourselves. We can celebrate the love that we are and the abundance and love the earth brings to us. Take a moment to celebrate, reflect and re-awaken to your Divine Center, to your love!!! Thanks for being love!! Much love Linda

namaste

2015 Huntington DSC_8611a

Namaste is a greeting we will often say with hands clasp in front of our hearts to honor another. Simply interpreted it means that “I bow to the place in you, where, when I am in that place in me, we are One.”

I was reminded of Namaste the other night when I was listening to a class Nora Herold (www.noraherold.com) gave in Chicago a short time ago. In closing the class she channeled the Pleiadians and they said:

“Feel yourselves as the love that you are. We love you. We love you. We love you. Meaning, we vibrate in that state of being as love with you, feel that! Feel us linking up with you. That is what you mean when you say ‘I love you’ to another. That means you are choosing to sync your vibration with theirs and suddenly remember that you are not separate. You are One. Existing as Love as One.”

Namaste, my love to you, Linda
