_quotes

In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts. Then, we will know what to do, what to say, how to be. What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts. It is from the deepest part of our hearts that we are capable of reaching out and touching another human being. It is, after all, one heart touching another heart. _{Roberta Sage Hamilton}

_quotes

You may not always be able to feel a deeper heart feeling right away, but stay focused in the heart. The sincerity of your effort can reconnect you to your heart current and start the juices flowing. To plug in, think of someone you love or remember what feels good, maybe a fulfilling experience. Feelings help you remember. _{Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart}

This part resonates well with me…“What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts. It is from the deepest part of our hearts that we are capable of reaching out and touching another human being. It is, after all, one heart touching another heart.”

In response to Poppy’s post:
Hey there Poppy!(: Thank you for sharing here.

These ideas came to me: from that quote:

• ~
  ….when we are feeling something is right coming from our core, deepest place in our heart/our spirit, we tend to feel capable of reaching out and touching another.

This made me think also…when we start 2nd-guessing ourselves ..2nd-guessing others…..wondering about our worth and if we deserve this or that… reaching out and touching another becomes a challenge.

This is one reason I love affirmations…if I know this intellectually…I can move into more emotion/feeling of it….when I become what it is I’m wanting to be/feel more of

This makes it clear to me, that understanding we are Already…good is so important, and why appreciating and seeing us all as one is vital…There are no personalities in this oneness. We simply are one…and…the good is because we are …and we are always more than what we do.

Then, all our doing is joy…and substance…and just like that… we all are …& it is …all good(:

In response to ‘Just’ For Me’s post:

This feeling coming from our core(heart and spirit) is pure love. We all are..and it is …all good?
We are more than what we do… Beyond judgement.. So perhaps we are in tune with pure, absolute love and we loose ourselves in joy and appreciation. There are no personalities in this Oneness?

Therefore, by extension, we are all as one. In the spiritual flow of love.

These are my thoughts on your thoughts.

In response to Poppy’s post:
If I understand your clarification of my clarifying (smile)…. by extension, we are all as one. In the spiritual flow of love.

…Yes…I believe this. It is necessary (at times) to use our minds more than our hearts to see possibilities of the intentions of others…oh but a web we weave, when we begin to try to figure others out from other places… (the mind…which helps us being right or wrong doesn’t assist)

When we focus on our love, we don’t get caught up in possibilities…the ones we can most likely not know for sure…By focusing on a loving…a oneness… we focus on ourselves …only being…more of this enabling more opportunity to be…to give…to allow. Does this ‘allowing’ mean we condone ‘everything’ we don’t enjoy from others…or even ourselves? Absolutely not. It simply means it matters less…

It is another loving tool for balance, in a world which believes we should know more…be more… it takes the shoulds out…it creates the I Am. It allows others to be as one…

  I like your statement: So perhaps we are in tune with pure, absolute love and we lose ourselves in joy and appreciation. There are no personalities in this Oneness Yes! I agree with this..I’m sure if I try hard enough, I can find an exception… with some reasoning…in the world somehow/someway/ though for the most part, yes! and yes that is what I’m attempting to find words for(:
• ~
  As sensitive human beings, we can love more by being love. We can be love more by coming from the oneness that we all are love. And yes we lose ourselves (in a positive energy-way) when we come from that place of love.

I think of times…when someone was using sarcasm, or some other obvious unkindness…and how my thoughts turned to protecting myself. When I shifted my attention to my heart place, and saw the oneness, they were just 1 other human being …and I needn’t devote my peace to their personality… I began to focus on moving forward with the love that I already am…and while it wasn’t always a perfect science for all circumstances… all encounters…it led me to more loving places more loving choices, then I would’ve possibly created for myself…my path & others.

I believe some see love as a weakness…a blind spot. I believe it depends on what we’re loving…And if it connects with fear…we don’t choose to connect with a Higher Self/Higher Power/Source. Why want a Greater good if we are feeling stuck believing we are here to protect ourselves from the next harming place? So are we closing ourselves off from being safe, by not focusing on this? I believe not. I believe we end up with less to protect ourselves from, and more that comes our way…that we have previously closed the door. Higher Power=Love. This connection is above all…therefore that includes personalities. thoughts? (:

This is how I ramble before breakfast…who knows maybe after too(: lol

I release any ways I am holding back my feelings!

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” – Lionel Hampton

Being in touch with your feelings is a very good thing… every time. Feelings come and go, and they aren’t everything, though they are a very helpful guide.

Do I want more of this?

Less of this? 

Or not this at all?

Once I connect, I can allow and decide and have supportive actions to compliment the experiences I prefer.

Inner child stuff is great

I can feel very into things on one level, and my inner kid has more to say on the topic (: I listen and  have compassion for all sides of me. I give myself the support my spirit tells me to include.

 

When you welcome your emotions as teachers, 
every emotion brings good news,

The amount of stress in your life is determined by how much energy you expend resisting your life.

Most people use their energy attempting to rearrange circumstances that trigger painful emotions. Changing external circumstances will not change your rigid patterns of emotional response. That requires looking at the patterns themselves.

A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.
