The Power of Heart-Centred Living: Living Beyond Your Mind.

The longer we spend living a physical existence here on earth, the more we tend to absorb or develop behaviours that pull us away from our centre, creating disharmony within ourselves and in life.

This is especially true when we have suffered pain, loss and trauma, which can have us move outside of ourselves to try and cope. We can be left to feel anguished over the self and life we knew before.

During a recent Communion live call, we discussed the very real challenge in being able to tell when you are . So today I wanted to share some helpful insights on this process to help being more ease and clarity to your healing journey.

What does it mean to live in your mind?

The mind is hard-wired for survival and naturally looks for threats or obstacles on your behalf in order to protect you, and will formulate thoughts and fears based on the data that is stored in your conscious memory. When you are living in your mind, you are governed by the part of you that is prone to overthinking, analysing and trying to control aspects within yourself and the world around you.

This stored data can be likened to a library, filled with the default behaviours and coping mechanisms you are prone to drawing upon in times of stress or uncertainty. These programs - the beliefs and thoughts that have been accumulating since your birth or longer - form the framework of how you will initially respond or react to any life situation.

We can tend to live more in our mind after experiencing difficulties or traumas, after what may feel like being tested by life, to try and protect ourselves from being as deeply impacted in the future. This is also true of what we feel are failures, disappointments and losses.

When treating a client who is prone to living more in their mind, the imbalances that this tendency creates within their energy field and body can be clearly seen. But more than this, the client's emotional state and ability to regulate or find calm is usually also considerably impacted.

What are the symptoms of living in the mind?

There are many consistent symptoms that correlate, so I have created three categories to help classify them. The following are only some, but are the most consistent I see when in session.

1. Energetically. This is the first confirmation I receive during a client healing. There are two specific regions within the energy field that will show signs of congestion, demagnetisation and inconsistency of cellular frequencies within the regions.
   

2. Physically. This will show as a range of physical symptoms in the body such as dizziness, fuzzy mindedness, headaches, vertigo, poor circulation or tingling in the lower legs, digestive sensitivity and shoulder or neck issues.
   

3. Emotionally. The emotions are also impacted, with presenting symptoms such as anxiety, fear, overthinking, overwhelm, replaying past or traumatic events, mistrust, trying to control, frustration, feeling blocked or disconnected from self or spirit, mental exhaustion, emotional dysregulation and anger.

Why live more in your heart?

Learning to spend time in and live more from your heart is the perfect antidote to the above-mentioned symptoms. Apart from bringing more ease and trust in your life, living more in your heart has many other benefits.

When you spend more time in your heart, there is a counterbalancing that takes place organically. The heart is a vault that keeps records of who you have always been, as a soul. It holds higher knowing and trust, unconditional love and is our largest transmitter and receiver of energy and the world around us.

Heart-centred living can be a welcome and worthwhile transition, dissolving many of the lower feelings and symptoms you may have been experiencing when living more in the mind. Once you learn how to make the shift, your life will feel calmer, more balanced and in flow.

Being more present in the heart also allows you to connect with who you really are, amplifying your capacity for kindness and compassion, and will highlight your deeper sense of connection and purpose. Intuition also becomes stronger and your resilience also increases.

And in relation to your soul purpose, finding your true calling start with reconnecting and spending more time in your heart. When you can become clear on your own values, passions and what is most important to your heart, this opens the door to your higher spiritual calling.

Living from the heart is an alchemic process that transforms:

Fear into love. Uncertainty into knowing. Impatience into trust. Controlling into allowing. Exhaustion into energised. Blocked into connected. Problem-focused into solutions-focused.

When devoting to this process, my clients have noticed a significant reduction in their physical and emotional symptoms, and have become more receptive and progressive in their healing journeys.
