Opening to Your Heart's Desires

When you take in your current, in-process masterpiece, what do you see? Is it beautiful? Does it make you feel fulfilled? Are you satisfied?

Although your masterpiece may not be near completion, when you peek at it does it make you smile? Does your heart warm and come alive as you take in the richness of its textures, colors, and feeling-tones that exude from it? Or, does it make you frown, feel discord, dull, and a lack of connection and meaning?

Do you have a clear intention about what you’d like to paint upon any available white space? Do you know what you want your masterpiece to reveal in body, mind, and soul when completed? What’s missing?

You are an artist. From a celestial perspective, all of us are. What are you painting in the world? What is your contribution? How does it impact others? Is it "adding to" or "taking away" from the vibration of love, peace, and joy?

Many of us settle for mediocrity in our lives. We deny our most heart-felt desires and cause them to retreat far away into the shadows of our unconscious. On occasion they surface and speak to us through an angry inner throb or twinge of jealousy towards another who has what we secretly want. Or, they make themselves known through an inner-feeling of emptiness or as if, "something is missing".

Today, take a moment to listen to your heart’s desires. Start simple. Ask it what it desires for dinner tonight. Over time, be bolder. Ask it to reveal its grandest dreams to you. And then, notice how the ego (or mind) interjects and distracts you from that level of life potency.

Our desires guide us towards our most rewarding life lessons. And, because our ego often rejects anything that could throw it from its place of Master, extreme fear often accompanies the realization of what we desire most. The ego loves to utilize it as one of its main tactics to remain in charge. But, don’t fret, and don’t believe in it, it is only an illusion attempting to stand in our way from living a life filled with purpose and meaning.

Exercise for Opening to Your Heart Desires
Take a few deep breaths and soften the outer shell of your body, your eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, ears, and heart.

State this outloud or silently to yourself:
"I now open all channels of communication between myself and my soul. I dissolve any negative energy from my heart center that has, up until this point, caused me to ignore, avoid, and reject what it most desires and wants. I open myself completely in this moment to arrive in knowing and with the intention of taking the appropriate actions in service to my soul to fulfill its most heart-felt desires for this lifetime and beyond."

Again, relax and breathe.

Restate this everyday for a week and notice what happens. As you consciously intend to align with your heart's desires it will respond. You will begin to feel more acutely guided from within in regards to the actions you need to take in your life to be truly fulfilled. As road blocks arise, which they inevitably will, use them as an opportunity to become more firmly connected to your heart's desires and wisdom and proceed. This inner level of knowing transcends any manipulation on the egos part to self-sabotage your movement forward in your soul's evolution.
