Nurturing Heart Presence

GRATITUDE is affirmation of self being on the wavelength of abundance, of which divine spirit knows nothing other, and through that affirmation, expands self into union with that spirit that is only love pouring from source into your life

The path of the heart- The true self

1.The path of the light opens as we make choices taken from the depth of heart. This takes us deeper into the true self and follows on from an ancient tradition of a pathless path. Walked by so many before us and ever moving towards the vast expansiveness of sea.

2.She sees us, hears us and knows us all. She hasn’t given up on us yet. Unchanged she resides in the depth of our true self, in the heart centre. Nurturing her is our key to inner stillness, connection and clarity.

3.The language of silence reveals the luminosity within. The spirit in the heart holds an unbinding truth within which paves the way to a connected and harmonious world.

4.Harmony is created through opening up space to listen to what is really present, this is loving presence. Creative potential opens up through deep presence and awareness.

5.A true heart binds no one nor the self, listened to will set you free. She holds the keys to end suffering within.

6.‘Her true state knows no bounds and can overcome anything.’ (Kefah)

7.What is the spirit in which you come in? Happiness, abundance, joy, pleasure, infinite greetings to human kind.

Shifting identification from head to heart

8.We truly come home within ourselves when we reside in the heart. This means that an increasing amount of our presence and attention is given to the heart space rather than the mind space. We no longer need to think about everything so much, we can simply just be and observe what comes into awareness and how we are moved.

The heart and mind are 2 entirely different realms of existence, different time lines. A significant part to this process for me, was shifting my actual identity from head, which is where I live in ideas and images of who I am (false self) to heart, which is where the true presence of my being is found (true self).

It helps to keep bringing myself back into the heart, whenever I’ve wandered off somewhere in thought. Heart anchors me into my true self.

The state of the human heart

The human heart has been trodden on, abused, mistreated, taken for granted, undervalued, beaten, disrespected, lied to, undermined and undervalued for decades…. Stamped on by our minds and what we think we know about ourselves and humanity. Tired, lonely, scared, forgotten, betrayed, abandoned, used, abused. Beneath this, she remains untouched, waiting for our presence. She shows us a way when listened to. She is our source within.

The living spirit brings us hope for humanity…. Hope for a future sustainable, where we stop abusing and bullying each other to receive what we think we need to in life.

How can I take care of my own heart so that others hearts will also be taken care of? How can I realise the value of heart presence, so that realisation of her value may ripple out into the hearts of mankind?

We are experiencing so much pain because this is how we are forgetting and mistreating her… Coming back towards her nature will end destructiveness internally and externally.

Valuing heart presence

The heart has her own nature and language through feeling. Quiet listening is our care. She knows how to keep us safe and will protect us if we look after her and hear her. Her presence restores trust in ourselves.

The heart senses the environment and picks up on what is in harmony and what is discordant with her nature. Heart is the gate way to the living spirit in us. Her nature knows how to live in harmony with nature, she has inner knowing. Wisdom the heart inherently knows is ageless, it paves the way for heaven on earth to be born.

Heart presence brings new energetic codes into our system that honour flow of vitality in fullness and freedom and open up channels of awareness and receptivity to information that may deepen connection to self and therefore all things in honour.

I am realising the responsibility I have to my heart, and to be in service to her spirit is what I am here for on earth. Her value is beyond what I currently know, I have undervalued her all my life. For her essence of spirit to be the guide for this life, and the source of my connection. My task is simply keep learning to listen and to listen through her.

The spirit that wants to come through you into life works through your connection to your heart.

Heart knows how to serve the greater good, the whole of humanity. It is plugged into something much wider larger than our individual selves. Unity is born through her presence.

We may offer our entire life to nurturing her presence. This brings a change in our experience of reality that supports connection and the presence of her care in life.

Opening to the heart

The hearts presence is unconditional by nature, allowing all that is felt within me to be held in this presence allows healing to occur. Her presence is listening, and through this, feelings receive something they need. Listening and honouring gives messages to creation of our care and willingness to come closer. The more this nature is opened and listened to, its language reveals our true nature. This takes us beyond what we have learned through others ideas, but brings us inner knowing. The more we listen within, the more trust deepens.

Wind ships sail across the land, carrying information from the sea of knowledge. It is information that needs to move that forms winds. A pressure is created. Listening opens a gate to relax some of the pressure. Change can be created by force. Or it can be created from a receptivity in the hearts of man. Nature has the intelligence to change when rebalancing is needed, but if we close off, we close off that receptivity that can hear and trust the intelligence that knows what is needed.

There is an incredible defensiveness built around the heart. So much in life is against the true nature of heart, and so layers of discord are energetically surrounding this centre of tender purity. These energy defences are built even in the womb, as the body is already immersed in a dynamic energetic environment as foetus.

The heart can sense and go into resonance with energies around it, and feel the qualities of discord in an environment, or from belief systems or structures it is placed in. As we grow connection to it and coming to know our true self, it can begin to hold its own frequency. Discord will still be felt, but we won’t be as knocked by it, as true self becomes less lost under all the noise and radiates presence. This presence can be held simultaneously to feeling the pain of the world. This is healing presence and the unconditional nature of the heart. And so, the pain, for once, is bathed in truth, higher than it ever knew before, dissolving the lies at pains core.

Offering space for nurturing spaciousness inside.

‘I’m here to feel you,’ ‘What is this your feeling?’ ‘What is this all about?’ As I sit in silence holding space for what is really there inside. Noticing any resistance that arises and relaxing into it, breathing deeply. There has been a lot of quite hard energies recently, at some point the heart lost access to the gentleness, tenderness and care available in life. Yet the heart never left. – Just lived with a lot of discord. This was never its way. Its very nature knows the way to a harmonious world, its wisdom is innate. Wisdom beyond conditioning or what the mind thinks is right. Wisdom that takes you so close to God, there is no need to hold on to anything. Wisdom that knows a path that’s nature is to expand into an all encompassing love. Wisdom that needs not know a thing except being. Deeper and deeper into all that there is- into the self, everything and nothing. Listening like a blooming lotus, opening layer by layer, revealing deeper hughes of information.

We are explorers, expanded by each edge we move towards and explore. Sensations of grace and pain, all the same.

Bringing safety back home

She is here to bring us into wholeness and connection within ourselves, so we may live in connection with the truth of what is felt. Our feelings are in connection with her intelligence, yet we have abandoned her through our own fear, mistrust and lack of safety in being deeply within our own self.  When trust breaks, we live for self preservation. This doesn’t create harmony in or around us, because we listen only to the mind as we closed ourself off to the rest of our being in this insecure state.

Inviting that safety back into experience is a gradual process, one that the body, every cell will respond to, if we allow. What strength is it that allows such a transmutation? That of the love that we truly are, and a longing to become so close to that nature.

When it is not safe the heart becomes locked inside. It pushes right in and closes and feeling sensations become dulled. True responses to what is happening in life are also compromised as they cannot be fully heard.

We are pushed into the mind through traumatic experiences that create a state of unsafety with being in the body. Fears, insecurities and discord can be too painful to integrate in an unsafe situation, and so these energies become stored in the energy body. This pushes our focus up into the head and we live in a kind of disembodied way.

The mind is filled with messages about ourself and life that we received externally, and we follow this rather than our true self, which creates mistrust within the self. Mistrust of our very nature and natural intelligence. Following external guidance breeds and perpetuates this mistrust. Our bodies and hearts have intelligence that is tuned into something deeper, subtler and beyond the mind, that knows our nature more than the mind does. And will guide us and keep us well and balanced, if we listen.

If I’m mainly dwelling in the mind I’m simply not feeling safe – I’m not inhabiting the main aspects of my being. Disconnected from my true nature which resides in the heart. How much pain is in the world simply because our hearts are unmet, making us long and feel empty, devoid of ourself, as we fill ourself with distraction. Can we gently ease ourself out of this state by dedicating some time to meet our heart with an openness, knowing its true nature is absolute unconditionality, as we experience by being with a tree… Its language is silent of thought and responds incredibly well to tenderness, acceptance, and a listening ear.

It is an extraordinary process bringing safety back into the depth of the body. And it feels terribly intense at times to be awake to feeling, and to the stacks of discord that has stored around it, making it hard to breathe. But this is true care, an opening to the true nature and invites an aliveness that is energised with the love of being and is the way for our hearts to find freedom…

Heart connection brings a stability inside, where there is less need to think about things all the time, life begins to flow more, surrender becomes much easier and a natural way of being.

Feelings are here to guide our awareness and to connect us to a deeper reality of our truth. Through inviting them into loving awareness, brings opportunity for them to move through process. Through process feelings receive something they need that brings them to peace. What will happen there cannot be controlled, through letting go, a nature may be witnessed and something may be brought to light. Often purely so the pressure of the energy can express into our own awareness. If our security isn’t locked up in situations being a certain way, then we can trust the flow of energy moves all where it needs to be. An untangling of pressure and discord, comes with it information of the unfelt nature of our true self.

Pain takes us deeper and teaches us how to be human, and of our true nature, when truly held space for and listened to, qualities of compassion, honour, and respect emerge in us.

True happiness is found by those who have faced the pain of the truth.

Heart alive, heart on fire burning light into forgotten cold spaces that here truth may be sung again.

Mind treads on the heart

The mind has been leading this show, which treads all over the heart and greatly undermines her. Our mind barely gives the heart a chance to receive space. Having given my heart space and presence, I am observing that most of what and how the mind thinks, is in discord with the hearts nature, and is constantly treading her down and betraying her. I see no other option than feeding the mind less and less and giving her more space to be listened to. She needs silence to fully emerge and be free and be seen in her truth, for who and what she is.

The I we learn to identify with is an energy that that directly feeds the mental realm. This sense of self is grounded in concepts, ideas and images of who we are. When I think of myself, presence is removed from the sensitivity of any creative moment. When I just allow myself to be, space opens up to listen or express the very nature of what is right here.

We try to become more than we are right here. To be who we truly are, not living a lie with expectations, but open and listening to the spirit within and its response to what is happening around and letting that guide the way.

Be open to what you are shown through silently witnessing the inner nature.

Let go of projecting what you think you know onto it… we have to learn to listen and to create space to honour the importance of heart presence.

Let go of trying you tread on your own heart.

Guilt and blame come through identification with the mental image self…. As soon as identification shifts to heart/ spirit… then these things dissolve away and surrender becomes much simpler.

The heart is pained through comparison… comparison is a mental constriction, rooted in lack and mistrust. The mind plays itself around forms of existence trying to make sense of it, and through this is pulled away from being shown the true spirit within each self. Each time I compare, it dishonours hearts.

Frustration is close to the heart, when its energy isn’t being channelled smoothly this brings unrest and leads to frustrations. Its very presence points to the source within, to listen to how things need to be now to assist the flow of energy to be given where it is most valued and through hearts true meaning to express.

Intense discord comes in the heart at the thought of being anything other than nothingness.

Heart energy is here to be served and through this will serve creation throughout time space.

Some Practical things I currently use to kindle the flame in this heart are:

Singing to it, chanting to it.

Devotional practises

Prayer

Making space to give her presence and listen and feel as many times a day as possible. Especially in between activity, after waking and before sleeping.

Active service through her openness

Breathing into her and focusing my attention and energy towards her.

Giving mind less attention, giving up thinking about things and moving towards feeling things as much as currently possible.

Mohanji is here to serve the true self. We need to work as a team.
