Let Your Heart Lead The Way

It is hard to believe that we were all in a worldwide shutdown just a couple of years ago. It has been a difficult and traumatic time for us all, as is always the case with major transition and change.

The global pandemic has played a vital role in transforming the energies in our world. For years, the predominant energy vibration in society has been masculine. We were rushing around in a constant go-go-go mode: egotistically grinding, clashing, and vying for things.

Some of my clients would call me and ask why their friends and relatives have been able to manifest this or that, yet they have not? It was all about comparison, strife, and competition. But our world has since been experiencing a significant energy transformation. With the advent of the global pandemic a lot of changes happened, and very rapidly!

Signs of this energetic shift are now becoming more evident. When I connect with current societal energies, it comes through as much gentler and predominantly female. This is a significant and welcome shift, especially when it comes to manifesting.

Traditionally, much attention was put on thought and the cognitive mind. Manifestation books and programs emphasized how our thoughts, ideas and beliefs function like a magnet to manifest our desires. But what if I told you that the heart is more powerful magnet than the brain?

According to HeartMath Institute Director of Research Rollin McCraty, the heart generates a much more powerful electromagnetic field compared to the brain. “The heart generates the largest electromagnetic field in the body. The electrical field as measured in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the brain waves recorded in an electroencephalogram (EEG).”

Now is the time to promote our heart-center to ‘commander-in-chief’ and let the cognitive brain follow the compassionate heart, instead of allowing it to continue taking the lead.

How to do this? Start by quieting your thought. The brain is prone to negative self-talk and mental clutter. Our worst inner battles are in fact fought in our thoughts, not our feelings. The mind loves drama, generating doubt and indulging in fearful, negative thinking. For this reason, it is essential to work on breaking our negative thinking habits by practicing meditation.

Meditation can be challenging initially, because our thoughts will want to wander. Simply start practicing meditation for a few minutes at a time and increase the duration little by little. You will eventually notice a significant shift. Various thoughts and worries will still arise, but you will not react to them, but instead let them float by like clouds in the sky.

Next, begin to tune into your heart-center more. Practice this by placing your right hand on your heart, close your eyes, and feel the love and warmth that comes from the heart. When meditating or praying, imagine a white color light emanating from your heart to the world. You will start sensing an explosion of unconditional love and compassion from your heart.

We no longer live in a world where mind energy creates our reality. Any efforts to create solely with mind energy will produce temporary manifestations – where your desires pass through your fingers as quickly as you attract them ~ Elizabeth Daniels

It is also important to become more aware of signs, synchronicities and omens. As you quiet your brain and open your heart, you will be able to notice the signs that God, Source, Spirit, the Divine is communicating to you. “God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you,” writes Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist.

There are no coincidences, and our fate is not cast in stone. When you do encounter a sign or synchronicity, follow them or act on them. Tune into your heart-center and trust your gut. Follow your intuition and flow with the process. Let your heart lead the way and you will manifest your desires.
