Signs you are Disconnected from Your Heart

Our busy thinking mind likes to take control of all the jobs, and we allow it out of habit. We do need to plan, use logic and think, yet we really are habituated thinkers that often overuse the mind (conditioning from our mainstream education.) It gets used to making decisions about the past, present and future, to analyse all number of things to the point of rumination, as well as to worry about what might happen and create fear stories based on the past. This can all lead to feelings of confusion and even depression (which I see as an over-thinking issue)

Rollin McCraty Ph.D., one of the original founders of Heartmath, said, “The biggest hidden source of stress on the planet is the disorganization of heart/mind, causing lack of resonance. Lack of alignment eats the life force and happiness out of humanity.”

All of this thought activity is draining and often exhausting. Most importantly it has us disconnected from our heart intelligence.

Here’s what happens when you are disconnected from your heart:

• You have issues with clarity (clear perception requires heart involvement.)
• You don’t question ‘authority’.
• You feel stressed.
• You don't feel aligned with a higher purpose.
• You are using substances, food, media, sex or work as ways to temporarily relieve uncomfortable feelings.
• You feel busy or sped up – you are disconnected from your body.
• Your concentration is poor. You may multi-task to excess.
• Feelings of gratitude, love, compassion and empathy are difficult to access.
• You are confused.
• You may have digestive system issues.
• You are forgetful.
• You are lacking connection to spirit.
• You can’t stop thinking about something in particular, or many things.
• You find yourself doing things that you didn’t really want to do, don’t serve you or you don’t like doing.
• You are having sleeping issues.
• You don’t feel calm.

When we are connected to the heart we are in touch with our authentic self. From this place we can easily make decisions and choices intuitively. We know how to move forward without confusion. We can access the wisdom of our body and respond to it’s needs. We are more present and grounded. Our system is calmer. We feel happier and have greater peace. This is all the good stuff!

Let’s take a few minutes to get heart connected now.

• Put your hand on your physical heart.
• Take a few breaths to your heart, coming away from the thinking mind.
• If any outside thoughts sneak in, just come back to breathing to the heart.
• Imagine aligning with your heart.
• Pose your query if you have one. And if you don’t, that is just fine – simply aligning will have your being in greater connection to your heart.
• Listen.
• You may feel a response as energy, or you may hear words or get impressions.

​

Ahh, that’s better isn’t it? It certainly is for me. I feel ease and a sense of slowing down. May we all have a greater connection to the intelligence of our heart. As more of us do this greater peace ripples all over this beautiful planet we reside on.

Wishing you heart connection.
