Communicating from the Heart

Rev Barb at Ananda gardens

 

For many years now, I have been dedicated to creating conscious, honest and connected communication.  My early years were spent with people that were snappy or brisk and it left several imprints upon me as well as an overly sensitivity.  Now that I have done a lot of inner work, I grown in different ways than my early family and mentors.  That does not mean that I am perfect at it nor does it mean that I am always charming, overly enthusiastic or bubbly in my relationships. It is a practice and I know that I am enough.  What it means is that I am mostly conscious, I am doing my best and I am being authentic in my communications with others.  I speak, listen and take actions from my heart and I am dedicated to making course corrections as I go and I am being genuine in my connections.

We know when we have not had a successful connect and communications with others. There is a distance and a lack of harmony.  The communication is not at all heart centered and we do not feel a connection.  It feels like a wall is in the way.  When I feel the frustration of not being more effective, this feeling inspires me to call upon Spirit and I release it as best I can.  I address the situation with my most authentic attention, and I have practices that ground me in my heart and it does affect my communications and relationships in divine timing.

When I am tired or not feeling as good as I can, I notice that the energy of a genuine connection is missing and it leaves me feeling disconnected.  When I make a heart centered connection with myself and others, I have a greater feeling of being whole, genuine and it boosts my self respect.

This week, perhaps you are willing to practice heart centered communication with the people in your life.  It is well worth the outcome and saves a whole lot of energy that is wasted in second guessing ourselves.

Know that You are Loved.  Blessings,  Rev. Barb

You Are Enough!

God meets us where we are

It was 4:30 am and I woke up.  I had a couple of voices speaking through me.  One voice within me said, go back to sleep and Spirit said, get up and write.  This is a great time to write and I knew it was God prompting me to resume the flow that was evident yesterday.   I asked for help to write more consistently and I am getting that help right now.  I need to be willing and cooperative and invite the muse into my consciousness.

My role in this process is a willingness to explore the thoughts that want to come through me.  I have invited Spirit to express through my life, my writing, speaking,  teaching and I am always looking for opportunities to be of ever greater service.

Sometimes the flow is really coming forth and there are also times when it barely trickles out of me.  What I am realizing is that I have to keep my mind open and I must be very willing to receive guidance.  That is when the flow and energy meet up with whatever wants to be expressed through me.

Any self limiting thoughts restrict the energy and then suddenly I have nothing to say.  When I can just trust that I am connected to a limitless resource and it wants to share itself with me, the chances are good that something worthy of expressing will makes its way on to my page.

If you are working on writing or any creative project, just know that the universe is using you as an instrument.  God or the creative source is the “Doer” and I am a willing partner in the process.  You can be one any time if you are ready and willing.

Know that you are Loved,  Rev. Barb
