In this 3rd part of this series on Heart Healing – I am going to focus on practical understandings of how to balance our energy with relation to other people and events that might otherwise pull us out of balance. My previous posts in this series provided a practical, guided introduction to the concept of heart balance and also an overview of the bigger picture that is involved when we work with our sacred heart, in the context of the rest of the Earth and indeed the entire cosmos.
Part 1 - A guided meditation from the heart
Part 2 - Understanding the holographic soul, our emotions, thoughts cosmos and origins
Part 3 – The Practicalities of creating full spectrum joy & health by living in the heart.
Everything you need can only come to you as a result of your own balance and that balance can only arise in your heart before it is experienced as a reflection in your physical reality. If you are not balanced then you are not able to perceive the steps that you need to take to experience a balanced reality – you can have no awareness of what balance is in any given situation and thus are limited in your ability to continue to experience balance in outer reality. Therefore, it is essential that we learn to make our own heart’s balance a higher priority than any event in the ‘outer’ world around us.
The provable and logical result is that when someone is attacking us in life or even when we find someone we think we are ‘in love’ with, our own heart’s well-being and state is still more significant for us than these others and their actions are. This does not mean that we should deny the existence of the others and their actions, it simply means that we understand that our true power source is within us and that our destiny path is always being set as a result of our own state of being (for which our own heart is the primary balancing center) – so we therefore know to cause change inside us before trying to change reality ‘out there’.

There is no battle, only vibration
Instead of struggling to battle other people who are unbalanced, it is key that instead we retrain our internal processes to focus instead on our breathing and heart patterns, being certain to feel unconditionally, every feeling/emotions within us and as we do so we are able to increase our own wellbeing in an empowering way, which in turn effects everything around us in subtle ways and will make life easier for us. When we are consciously present within our own heart, we are standing energetically in a light of deeper understanding of who we are and of what is the right action to take for us. Without the heart’s feeling presence and intelligent input into our thoughts, we are left only with the more masculine and logical (often cold) calculation, assumption, judgment and probability – which is inherently error prone and lacks the depth that is required for us to thrive in life on Earth.
Our past has been mostly heartless and that must change now
It is true that most of human history has been created by beings who were not aware of their heart’s voice and the internal compass that they could have used but did not. This is why we experience the fragmented and imbalanced planet that we do today – with ritual dolphin and whale slaying, child rape gangs operating in major governments/religions, corporate exploitation of the environment and almost no end of other totally loveless activities that exploit and overpower the innocent. This though must not be taken as a sign that the needed change is impossible. When we ourselves are lost and disconnected from the heart’s truth, we may have no clue as to how to solve these problems – but that is because we too are operating in a somewhat similar way internally to the perpetrators (although we would not like to think that of ourselves it is the truth in some ways). When we are not fully allowing our heart and true feelings to express we are being internally unloving to our own feelings and own being and this heartlessness is not really any better than the abuse towards the animals and children I just described. It is only the non-physical nature which obscures this fact from our physically dominated minds that have been trained to rule out the more subtle non-physical realities that are actually just as present and relevant as anything we can touch with our physical hands.
Lived examples
As I was writing this post for Steemit and thinking about a good example to demonstrate the attraction of the heart in life – I was actually presented with the perfect example from Steemit itself! Over the last few days I had entered a couple of competitions on Steemit where I just needed to upvote/comment for a post and I would be entered into a random draw. As it turned out, I won both of them and in one case, the chances of me winning were hundreds to one, as I only had one ‘ticket’ in the draw and others had multiple tickets due to them having done more to get more tickets – I had only upvoted the post, which only counted for one chance to win; Thanks to @tech-trends on Steemit for the 5 dollars!
How is it possible for me to win twice on the same day, when the process is allegedly ‘random’?
Well, there is no such thing as true random! Every computer that calculates a random number does so using processes that are NOT random. Everything in creation is ONE and so when we are aligned internally, we are able to tune into and leverage the infinite intelligence in creation and manifest our desires in physical reality in ways that are pleasing. We may not know the details in advance of how our desires will ‘come to life’, but we can know that they will. Most of the time I do not desire money since I value freedom more than money and ‘free/money’ are opposites – however, presently I need some dental work to be performed and have not found a way to do it without money, so my heart is set on receiving money. Since I have opened to holding that point of attraction to ‘money’ I have had a continual stream of opportunities to gain money which were not presenting in my reality previously. Further, I have lowered my resistance to the possibility of truly receiving the money by eliminating limiting thought-forms such as ‘life is hard’ and ‘I must work hard to receive money’. Life is truly not intended to be a struggle, but we can create it to be a struggle if we choose to – whether consciously or not.
Challenges to staying in the heart.
We are commonly conditioned heavily to deny our heart’s voice and and so choose to do so unconsciously and habitually over and over again. Even when you start to focus more into your heart, you may at first return back to a non-heart consciousness once you end the focus. This is because you are trained to think that non-heart consciousness is ‘normal’ and that you need to stop being that way in order to be ‘normal’. However, being out of our heart is certainly not healthy and thus not really ‘normal’ in any sane meaning we might be able to define for the word ‘normal’.
Being aware that we have many traps within our mind that will cause us to once again deny our heart’s presence is crucial in defusing them within us and increasing our ability to be heart centered. Noticing each of our thoughts and beliefs that are leading as astray internally is a requirement for releasing them and evolving towards a new peace and deeper understanding of life and who we are.
Often there will be fears underlying our beliefs and thoughts and these two need acceptance. If we gloss over and deny the fears then we cannot heal and transform in the best way. In truth, we will not really change much at all, since the fear will continue to effect our balance and will just manifest new forms of thinking that are also imbalanced and that keep us from our heart’s desires.
Just like the princess in the famous fairy tale of the princess and the pea – no amount of buffering and layering will remove the source of our discomfort:
Sound and vibration are the key!
As stated previously in earlier parts in this series, to fully evolve the feelings, we need to accept the feelings and feel them thoroughly – allowing them to express safely as sounds through the body. As part of this process of inner exploration we are also learning their origins and allowing them to feel accepted and to then evolve into new feelings. There is no other way to progress here – so do not conveniently try to skip over this part of the process. Once you learn how to feel and move with the emotion’s own sound signature, you will feel a peace and balance that few attain and that cannot be attained any other way. Key too is that you do not try to force the process as that is not a balanced way to proceed – simply respecting your emotional self’s need to proceed in it’s own time and way is enough to point you towards success.
As you evolve your feelings, you can also bring new light to your thought process and release stuck patterns and habits that have held you out of balance for so long – including addictions and associated internal self talk and other neuroses. There really is no better way to heal on all levels than through healing and evolving self in this way.
Change is a constant
You will find as you proceed with healing emotionally, that your needs become more apparent to you, as you are no longer blocking out so many important voices inside of you and you may feel a need to relocate. There is nothing wrong with this and, in fact, the majority of us are not in our ‘right place’ on Earth and we feel unhappy as a result. As you become more attuned to your real needs, you will feel attracted to new experiences and places – which means leaving some people and places behind and that is OK. You are here on Earth to learn, explore and enjoy life and part of that is moving around freely.
Many of us have a fear of change itself and if we take the time to actually focus in on this and understand it we may find it is an incoherent fear that is based purely on errors of logic and un-evolved parts of us that we habitually ignore due to our fear and our denial of our fear. Addressing in a loving way, our own fear of change will go a long way towards helping us find the long lasting balance we need to survive and thrive on Earth!
From my heart, I wish you well in your journeys! May we all know unconditional love and end suffering swiftly!
