From the heart

.
For as long as we can remember it has been reason that is important. The logical, even scientific approach has been more important than any other perspective. And as such we have grown up in a time in which we have had the opportunity to fully explore the power of our mind.
And in all likelihood we have discovered that the power of our minds in enormous!

But over the decennia through which we put this great, in a sense exclusive importance on our thinking, our reasoning ~ we may not have seen much significance in that other part of us. The heart, our feelings, and with that our intuition. As some would say; our ‘High mind’.

Then the energy started changing. The energy of ourselves as well as the energy we are living in, and even the energy of the universe... And with that our priorities changed. Where up to then we had been pretty much mental beings ~ as started changing we got more and more in touch with our feelings. We started to see the value of how we felt about things that happened, and with that we began to develop our intuition, our intuitive awareness.
And pretty soon that which comes from the heart began to carry more weight than the reasoning we had grown up with.

It has given rise to a new awareness. Bit by bit we have moved from a mental awareness, to an intuitive awareness (which as it emerged seemed ‘airy-fairy’), to where we are at now; a situation where both our mental as well as our intuitive awareness are coming together in a greater, merged awareness.

So nowadays it is most important to see ‘how you feel’ about a situation. How you feel about it within yourself. How you feel about it outwardly. Gut-feel. To recognize the emotions any given situations brings up, and to use the emotions as signals, as tools that indicate how to best handle the situation at hand.

It is a new way to experience our emotions and our feelings. It doesn’t mean that as our feelings gain importance they start ruling our lives. It means that our awareness of our feelings and emotions give us that extra bit of information the logical, mental perspective doesn’t have.

And with that comes ‘living from the heart’. To recognize the feelings you have, and to act on them in a loving way.
