Heart Based Living

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

The mind works perfectly when it is empty and still. We want you to focus on emptying the mind and when the mind is empty, then head into the heart. All too often the mind, thinking it’s alone, is clinging on whilst trying to keep up. Whereas the heart has always been available to lovingly guide and support the mind, yet sadly, too few people really understand how to access, and use this intuitive masterpiece.

To enjoy Heart-Based Living we learn to communicate as balanced, integrated and whole people. We understand that the heart and the mind were always intended to work together in perfect  harmony. We can start Heart-Based Living by celebrating the mind as a perfectly formed instrument which works effectively, provided we learn to use it for the tasks it was intended. 

The mind was always intended to be quiet and still in such a way that it becomes a reflective surface. A surface against which the heart is able to reflect our true deeper inner desires. Once we master the use of the mind as a tool and learn to clearly reflect the hearts’ desires, we enjoy Heart-Based Living and can communicate lovingly with ourselves, others and the World.

Now as you look around and listen, it becomes apparent that most people are stuck in their minds, which they use as the primary source for their communication and interpretation. We engage in activities of the mind like thinking, reasoning, being logical, blaming, shaming and judging. The heart within this toxic environment retreats, shuts down and encases itself in order to be protected from the pains of this harsh reality.

When truly in the heart you will have a new perspective, a bird’s eye view. So I’m often asked, how will I know the heart is responding? So here are a few examples. While the mind can generate lunacy, the heart can generate compassion, and while our mind creates fear, the heart creates love. While the mind excludes, the heart includes, while the mind restricts, the heart expands, and while the mind sets limits, the heart simply overflows. While the mind creates separation, the heart creates oneness. While the mind presents problems, the heart serves up loving solutions.

Remember to pay attention to your progress, to the clear signs that you are heading in the right direction. The daily heart based advancements for you should be loving, creative, expansive, and inclusive. So, have fun being playful, have fun being childlike. And whilst journeying through this maze, begin to enjoy your amazing heart centred week.

Finally in your quiet moments of reflection during the week ahead, you can enjoy our key words of guidance, “Heart-Based Living”. The words can be said out loud or in your mind's eye, as a goal, a guide, a reminder or a mantra.
