Heartbeat
/The heart beats consistently, day after day year after year in a rhythmic fashion, like the breath of life brings our attention to the moment. The steady beat of pulsation is connected to thought, emotion and feelings. It can speed up when excited or slow when at rest.
The heartstrings of deep affection is “the one” of true love where it takes flight to the stars, feeling pregnant with potential and promise and can also become heartsick and fragile when love gets lost or lying in wait of manifestation.
In our rock bottom moments, it ping pongs within the chest cavity, reverberating with anger and confusion and yet mysteriously beats tirelessly for a lifetime! Heartily and robustly it pumps as we race to the finish line of our accomplishments.
On the other hand the heart can become heavy from ongoing struggle and UN-fulfillment as we navigate our way through the uncharted territory of change.
Clarity dims when fight or flight mode dials into the panic from fear and can render us frozen in despair. Our breath becomes shallow while searching for reassurance and strength to break through the barricades of another crossroad that lead to the new with hope lighting our way to contentment.
Transformation can seem light years away and out of reach and can take longer than is comfortable. Food becomes an emotional pacifier as we wearily and blindly feel our way out of the darkness of depression. Make no mistake, you are not alone when the pendulum of the soul dips into grief and sadness.
Light and sound can magnify and silence can be deafening. We get lost in the wanting and try to mute the droning vulnerability with distractions. Again and again, wholeheartedly, we pull ourselves up to the surface and come face to face with acceptance.
Wisdom flows in the deep chambers, calling forth insight-fulness that reopens to expose the vein of forgiveness which serves to protect the sacred heart. Survival is ingrained and heartwarming faith tenderly comforts the spirit, guiding us back home to rest in our wholeness.
