DISCOVER YOUR HEART CONSCIOUSNESS
By Harrison Klein
"We teach the world, one breath at a time." Dr. Sue Mortimer
You
have been playing by all the wrong rules. If you believe in maxims such
as, "you have to do the best with what you have," or "you get what you
get, so don't pitch a fit," your life is probably full of stress,
frustration and disappointments. You have been operating out of your
head and mind, instead of from your heart. There is a better way to flow
with life's events, allowing your energy centers that speak through
your body to guide you. Heart Consciousness is the way to create a life
full of love, beauty, joy and peace.
You are surrounded by
infinite possibilities and energy. Your body is aware of this fact on a
cellular level, but you may not be awake to the subtle messages your
body constantly sends to you. Quantum Science and bio-energetic healing
are two paths that are the starting line in your journey towards
self-knowledge and awakening to your higher self.
Spiritual Truths and Science
Spiritual
Truths are now being proven by Quantum physics. For thousand of years,
Eastern religions have taught that you are a spiritual being who is here
on earth to create your own reality. You are here to discover the next
greatest unfoldment of yourself through the process of co-creating in a
physical world. Spiritual energy is emphasized over physical forms, and
the practice of meditation and conscious creation is seen as essential
to the revelation of your Higher Self. Life is lived from the inside
first, with the breath leading the way towards enlightenment and higher
truths about yourself and the world.
Unfortunately,
Western culture takes the opposite approach. Much energy is focused on
the external world of form, and material things are revered and highly
sought after. The person who obtains the most physical possessions, fame
or celebrity status is seen as "successful" and someone to be favored.
Life is lived from the outside first - great effort, time and money is
directed towards buying the next new thing, gadget or electronic device.
But the quest for more is never satisfied, because it totally misses a
basic fact of your human experience.
You are a spiritual being living a human experience.
When
you focus on how to integrate yourself on a spiritual and energetic
level, you will discover an ever-expanding sense of personal freedom and
expression. You begin to live from your heart consciousness, not your
head. Your higher self is finally allowed to joyfully play and create in
this wondrous world of material substance, to express herself fully in
the moment.
A Short Lesson in Quantum Science
Quantum
scientists have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that your thoughts
physically affect reality. The smallest physical matter that makes up
your world of form is influenced by what you think. In truth, instead of
having to accept what comes, you can actually create what you want to
come to you! And the beauty of your physical experience is that once you
integrate the bio-energetic fields in your body with your thoughts, you
become a co-creator with God.
Are you shaking your head,
wondering how in the world can this be true? Well, quantum physicists
have proven that every cell in your body contains antenna receptors.
These receptors pick up waves of energy that contain information. The
information received by you on the cellular level resides in your heart
consciousness. When you open yourself to exploring and confirming your
spiritual awareness, you will begin experiencing your life in a holistic
and integrated way. Get out of your mind and into your heart.
Scientists
have proven that the bioelectrical power of the heart is two and one
half times stronger than the mind! Both the heart and mind are energy
fields, operating all the time. When you focus solely on your mind,
limiting thoughts, feelings and beliefs dampen the energy of the heart.
When your heart consciousness is integrated with your mind, the fusion
of energy is powerful indeed.
Bioenergetics
Bioenergetics
identifies the different types of energy in your body, and provides a
map or blueprint to interpret the messages from your body to guide you
on your spiritual journey.Your body energy speaks a different language
that you must learn to become fully whole and integrated.
Your
body has two energetic operating systems. The first system is designed
to keep us safe - think of it as the "flight or fight" system. If you
are presented by triggering stimuli, your body immediately reacts.
Breathing comes much harder and faster, your heart rate speeds up and
adrenaline floods your bloodstream to give you more energy to flee or
fight. Everything is focused on survival, including the decisions you
make while consumed by this operating system.
The second energetic
system operates when survival is not in question. It could be called
the "safe" or "healing" system. It operates best in stillness. It is the
direct path to your higher, spiritual self or who you really are. This
healing system is in direct contact with all the infinite possibilities
of you.
The task before you is to develop and strengthen your
relationship with the second type of energetic system. Think of it as a
trap door between your conscious and subconscious minds. Your
subconscious mind knows the best spiritual solution to any situation.
But you will never hear it if your conscious mind is locked up in fear.
You have to develop a way to bypass the fear and open the trap door.
Bioenergetics can show you the way.
Seven Energy Centers
There
are seven different energy centers in your body. Learning to read and
interpret the messages from each energy center is essential in the
discovery of who you really are. Events, circumstances or external
stimuli that produces a reaction in one of the seven energy centers is a
message that you have just encountered an area of yourself that needs
to be examined and developed.
The seven energy centers build on
each other. As you develop the first center, it becomes integrated into
the second, and so on. After learning the area in your body where each
center is located, pay attention to any messages you may receive from
that area. Your body will tell you what you need to hear through the
appropriate energy center. You can think of these energy centers as
steps towards your full evolvement into your higher self. A brief
description of each center is given below.
1. Root Energy Center
- located at the very bottom of your spine, this center is the most
fundamental element of who you really are. To fully develop and
integrate this center into your existence, you must make the decision
that you are adequate and worthy of greatness. You must also decide that
you have everything you need, right now, at this moment in time.
2. Wisdom Center
- located just above your navel, the wisdom center allows you to
develop and grow the relationship with yourself and others from a place
of collaboration and acceptance. You begin to listen to your instinct or
"gut" to make decisions and interpret information, instead of from the
ego, which tends to foster a sense of limitation, lack and competition.
3. Personal Power Center
- located in the area of your solar plexus, your personal power center
gives you the courage to step forward in faith. You know at the core of
your being that you are healed, well and that everything is perfect just
as it is. Your knowingness of the previous two levels gives you the
courage to express yourself from your source.
4. Heart Center
- located in your heart, this center allows you to tap into a greater
sense of connectedness with yourself and others. You understand that you
must take care of yourself first to be a responsible steward of this
energy center. Only after you have integrated the preceding three steps
into the heart center can you step out and help others with truth and
love.
5. Throat Center
- located in the throat area, this energy center allows you to speak
your truth in any situation. After the other energies are fully
integrated, the words that are formed from your throat will truly
reflect your highest truth.
6. Infinite Eye
- the area between your eyes is a special part of your brain. It
captures energy from the infinite perspective. Having fully integrated
the preceding levels, you are now ready to receive the brilliant ideas
waiting for you from the Source.
7. Divine Connection
- at the top of your head is the life force energy connection to the
divine. When all of the energy centers are fully developed and
integrated, you will be in tune with your divine connection.
How to Use the Body as Your Guide to Greater Spiritual Awareness
When
you tune into the messages that your body is sending you at any moment,
you are in alignment with your higher self. Your body speaks a
beautiful language that can help guide you on your journey towards who
you are. When you accept the truth that all circumstances are here to
help you create or become aware of who you really are, you will always
be at peace.
Here
are some practical steps to take anytime you feel an upset in one of
your body's energy centers. When you begin to listen to your intuition
and your heart consciousness, you begin to control your life, instead of
the other way around. When you encounter a situation or person that
activates one of the seven energy centers, do the following:
Take a
moment to bring your attention to that body area and take a deep,
abdominal breath through your nose. Inhale and exhale slowly, extending
and contracting your belly.
Ask yourself, "What or how is this person serving me?" Listen with patience for the response.
Think about which area has tightened or clenched. For example, if you
have stomach or digestive problems, you should look at whether you feel
worthy of love.
Concentrate on your heart area and tell yourself gently, "I love myself. I am here to contribute.
There is nothing more important than what I have to bring to the world."
Take
several heartfelt breaths, imaging love pouring into that part of your
body that was constricted or limited. Your love energy heals and
cleanses you, so who you really are expands into your consciousness.
After this exercise, take time to assess how you are feeling and whether you are still upset.
Begin to notice if you have a pattern of discomfort or frustration in
the same energy center. If so, that is a message from your body that you
need to shower love to that area of yourself.
The Spiritual Bridge to Personal Freedom
Learning
to read the cues from your body, discovering the areas of yourself that
need love and growth, and becoming more aware of your spiritual self
are the steppingstones on your journey. There is one more tool that when
used daily, provides the spiritual bridge to your personal freedom.
Meditation
The
answers to your quest for self-awareness and knowledge do not lie
outside of you. The answers are inside of you, waiting patiently for you
to remember and discover in the eternal stillness. And the only way to
make that discovery is through daily meditation. As Sally Kempton, one
of the world's most experienced and insightful teachers of meditation
and spirituality, so eloquently stated:
Spiritual experience is hard-wired into us. We are meant to live as awakened beings. The deepest reason to meditate is to realize that potential, because meditation, more than any other practice, can reveal our awakened self.
There
are many different meditations and techniques available. Focus on
finding a guided meditation that you can use every day for at least 15
minutes. In committing yourself to a daily meditation practice, you will
discover a growing familiarity with who you really are. You will also
train your mind to focus on one thing and not become distracted by
flickering thoughts. In the end, you will discover your higher self in
the deep stillness of meditation.
Meditation
is the spiritual bridge to who you really are. It is time to wake up to
your true self, connect with the infinite and become authentic in form.
You start having a conversation with your heart consciousness and begin
to reach the core of your human experience from a spiritual level.
Stress, frustration and tension disappear, because you now operate from a
different place within - your spiritual self.
Personal
freedom of expression and healing flow naturally from the stillness
within. Cultivating your heart consciousness through bioenergetics,
meditation and self-inquiry are wonderful tools to awaken to who you
really are. Your life experiences will be enhanced by joy, laughter and
love, and you will become "of this world, but not in it."
Take
a step now towards your own growth and evolution. Accept yourself fully
and completely and let love radiate from your heart. Discover your
inner wisdom and power and help change the world!
