Heart-centered living is defined as living in alignment with your true self; that is, from your soul. You permit love to underscore your every thought, word, and deed. Do not confuse being heart-centered with being weak or overly emotional. Being heart-centered equates to being a warrior of light as it allows you to deal with the agonies and ecstasies of life in accordance with the guidance of your higher self. It takes formidable fortitude to remain in your truth and rooted in love when dealing with the vagaries of life. 

The world is in its current state because we neglected to stay attuned to our soul, that is our heart-centered side and instead gave dominance to our logical mind side. We paid scant attention to our heart, instead of valuing the development of our mind above all else; not understanding that our heart speaks for our soul. Your heart is the conduit that brings unity between spirit and matter, which allows you to experience the sacred within. 

 By neglecting the feelings emoted by our heartsoul we became emotionally bankrupt and failed to recognize that the mind should be in service to the heart; for only then can we live as one, connected heart to heart through the universal flow of love. Know that the heart is the translator for the mind; translating messages from the soul.  

The heart connected to the soul bears no malice so will guide the mind to execute creations that serve our highest good. The heart never advocates harm to others or nature, abiding by the natural ebb and flow of life, creating a better life according to the highest good for all. The heart aligned with the soul will keep you on your path of authority, allowing you access to your innate wisdom. Don’t let anyone or anything distract or discourage you from being in sync with your soul and aligning with your truth. 

Do not neglect yourself, stay true to the rhythm of your heart, and connect in oneness with others so together we create a symphony of beats that celebrate not denigrate us all. 

 Make this the year that you start heeding the guidance of your heartsoul by asking yourself “what does my heart say my soul needs.” 

The recent worldwide lockdown has served to awaken people to what truly matters. We recognize that what we missed most was connecting with others. Thankfully it appears that a global shift in consciousness has awakened us to the truth of the well-known assertion 'I am because you are.’ that underscores our very existence. 

More real conversations were had during the lockdown as we were stripped off the trappings of our fictional self; no longer hiding behind social masks that enslave us. It caused us to take stock and courageously reveal our truth, no longer burdened by conformist dogma but stepping out to the beat of our heartsoul.   

Trust that you will find the necessary encouragement in these quotes to stay in your truth by aligning with the guidance of your heartsoul.
