Tools for the Times Block 3 Session 7 The Heart as Center

To get to the heart of the matter is to get to the visceral substance that breathes life into the situation. The heart chakra is the middle chakra of the in body seven. The heart pumps the fluid of life through us. The heart is the seat of the Soul. It is the doorway , the portal to the multi-dimensional worlds. It is the playground of the Higher Self and the tender, loving arms that cradle the precious inner child. It is the nerve center that emanates an electro-magnetic field far beyond what the brain can produce. The heart is the new root chakra, the foundational source for our own life expression, the place from which we are being groomed to live unfettered.

The frequency of Love is so vital and potent that it requires two separate chakras to work the nuances and specifics of the energy: the heart and the High Heart. The traditional heart Chakra at the lower center of the sternum is in the key of F and governs the thalamus gland as well as expresses love, compassion, empathy, child-like joy, gratitude, and sadness . The Higher Heart chakra is at the upper part of the sternum just below the intersection point of the clavicle and sternum. It is vibrationally attuned to the F# pitch and is the reflection of Agape (or Universal Oneness) Love that is the growing force of unification and oneness in these remarkable times. Every time the voice is used the heart chakras vibrate. You can feel it with your hand on the sternum. The nature of the spoken word can either nurture or compromise the frequency of the chakras separately.

At the sino-atrial point located at 11 o’clock on the top of the physical heart, the dimensional portal accessed by shamans resides. It is considered the entry point of the soul. The heart is the center focus of the pranic breathing process which pulls the Earth frequency up and the Cosmic frequency down to mix and unite for the purpose of energetic balance. One can ride this point via focus to interconnect the chakras above and below to align a compromised energetic system. This will translate to an altered state identifiable by the remarkable clarity and feeling of being in center that accompanies the aware action.

A ground-breaking process called Heart Math reveals some striking elements of this heart intelligence:

New scientific discoveries are giving us a radically new and different view of the role of the heart in the human system.
Information sent from the heart to the brain can have profound effects on our higher brain centers.
Our emotional states are reflected in our heart rhythms, as seen in heart rate variability measurements. Our heart rhythms affect the brain’s ability to process information, make decisions, solve problems, and experience and express creativity.
Because the heart is the strongest biological oscillator in the human system, the rest of the body’s systems are pulled into entrainment with the heart’s rhythms.
When subjects in research studies achieve entrainment of the brain with the heart, they report heightened intuitive clarity and a greater sense of well-being.
Positive feelings such as appreciation create increased order and balance in the autonomic nervous system, resulting in enhanced immunity, improved hormonal balance, and more efficient brain function.
By intentionally altering our emotional state through heart-focused techniques such as FREEZE-FRAME, we modify input from the heart to the brain. The changed information flow from the heart to the brain can facilitate higher brain function.
When we get the head in sync with the heart, the power of both works for us and we can make changes that we know we ought to make.
The so-called lower heart governs feelings that are colored by attachments and conditions placed on them by the mind.

Heart centered focus is a stress reducer as the wash of aligned vibration literally neutralizes the chemical contributors to the heightened condition taxing the entire system. Breathing with heart as the focus can do wonders in calming the being enough to open up the inner wisdom that rides the chi and pranic life force that infiltrates the inhalation. Consciousness is the key in bringing about the change. Certainly, there are activities of the autonomic nervous system at work here but the conscious connection allows the directing of energies and the unification of the seen and the unseen, the felt and the unfelt. The focus and the breath combine to bring about the state of coherence, the balance between head and heart. In this state one has access to and the willingness to act in the flow of one’s true vibration. Life smoothes out.

The heart center is in close association with the lungs for obvious reasons and more. As the interface between the inner and outer the lungs collect the raw paranic life force and dispense it into the fluid bloodstream, which, when circulated by the pumping and beating heart, floods the cells and tissues with the necessary sustenance to be fully in the moment. The lungs gather also the toxic residue of the moments of living in the form of the carbon dioxide that is released on the exhalation. The lungs hold also the energetic debris of loss, accessed through the profound process of crying. Countless wounded souls have drowned in their uncried tears at the end of a particularly difficult and mostly unconscious life.

A Heart Math process called Freeze Frame is a useful technique to apply to a stress filled moment:

1. Recognize the stressful feeling and FREEZE-FRAME it! Take a time-out.

2. Make a sincere effort to shift your focus away from the racing mind or disturbed emotions to the area around your heart. Pretend you’re breathing through your heart to help focus your energy in this area. Keep your focus there for ten seconds or more.

3. Recall a positive, fun feeling or time you’ve had in life and try to re-experience it.

4. Now, using your intuition, common sense, and sincerity, ask your heart, What would be a more efficient response to the situation, one that would minimize future stress?

5. Listen to what your heart says in answer to your question. (It’s an effective way to put your reactive mind and emotions in check and an in-house source of commonsense solutions!)

The Course in Miracles, a channeled work derived from the Master Teacher Jesus, basically says that there is only Love or Fear and that everything is a call for love. With this in mind one can respond to the forms of living moments with another or self and quickly discern which of the two, love or fear, is at play. One can also realize that the erratic behaviors and choices of self and another is really a beacon for being soothed by the higher vibration of Love. Applying this strategy often will reestablish new neural pathways that will alter the patterns of thinking and behavior to attract and manifest a more nurturing, connected reality experience.

Grief is a heart centered process that involves the direct communication with the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, and throat chakras. It is an evolving process that seeks out the interconnections triggered by the event to assist in the global cleansing of energetic debris. It washes through all of the emotions to squeeze out the elements forgotten or hidden and is a massive healing, if allowed and supported through completion. Life’s moments trigger inner reservoirs of painful moments for a collective release, a super cleanse that may or may not have much to do with the current loss. The body design is about balance and a state of cleanliness and, thusly, it will use any opportunity to fulfill its task. In a culture and world frightened of emotion, grieving is not often allowed to progress in its unique dance. As a result, more is stored for future release, or physical damage. The heart center works energetically to orchestrate the release of the past and, in this capacity, serves us in profound ways. Letting the heart do the clearing diverts us from mentalizing and playing the why and what if games, energetic eddies that serve no purpose except to suffer and beat oneself up.

The movement into heart centered living, as set in motion in 1987 at the celestial event of the Harmonic Convergence, is the Cosmic call to return home. The heart is more equipped to oversee the revolution from limited thinking and living. For, from this space, one has direct access to the cosmic panorama, the one tucked away in our design, waiting for the Light to shine upon it to give permission once again to live the life we each deserve. The impact of the Cosmic intervention is a directive to be and live differently, not cowering in the shadows of a life of victimhood, helpless in the waves of life being done to me, but, rather, riding the crest of the wave of awakening to the true remembering of the I Am That I Am Expressing As Me. No one can escape these times nor the energy behind them. This is Cosmic Love in its full force casting aside the clinging tendency for humans to be scared and overwhelmed. This is not who we are nor has it ever truly been what we are. The design is being re-revealed and everyone is being pushed to face the shadow of themselves.

It is a prime loving act of a Multiverse that knows who we each are. Enough of the forgetting game. These are the grand and glorious times…the great awakening. You simply cannot turn away any longer. The heart is the portal to the beloved. Accept the reaching hand and step towards you.

I see the waiting hand I take the waiting hand

I take the first step and I am on my way

The Universe has sent an invitation and I say

I accept, I accept

Howwww I’m on my way, I’m on my way

Every hero starts a journey by saying, “yes, I can”

I’m on my way, I’m on my way
