For the past few years I have wanted to step out of my mind and into my heart. I have led a very cerebral life in my 20s so I feel disconnected from my heart. I have tried journalling, reflection, connection and meditation, but something was always missing. Something I think I may have found yesterday after my run. I am new to running so I am still getting used to the sensations that flood me, one of which is my pounding heart! As I was warming down I noticed that my heart is loud and felt, my natural reaction was discomfort as all of a sudden I could FEEL my heart rather strongly! Then it dawned on me that I haven’t been able to live through my heart centre because I have kept my heart in “idle” mode for all these years! Our hearts are pumping machines, so they thrive when you get them to do what they are designed to do! All of a sudden I realised that if I want to live through my heart centre then I need to use my physical heart actively. Bringing her out of her “idle” state and allowing her to get stronger, louder and more engaged!
The power of our bodies is so underrated and misunderstood. Out bodies are wise, sophisticated organisms that require a lot of care and attention. They know what they need and they are always giving us hints! I ignore these hints and or disconnect myself from them as I am still learning what to do with this level of information. All I can do is open myself up for more movement and feel comfortable with all the sensations that come up. I don’t want to numb my body anymore, I want to feel her in all her glory.
Love Always
