Dropping into the heart sounds simple, but it can be difficult to accomplish for many of us who get stuck in our mind. That's why we decided to dive even deeper into the practices that will support you in this process! This is a follow up episode from episode 174 where we introduced the topic. As you'll discover, the following practices are extremely effective to help you connect more with your heart: HeartMath Institute's Heart-Centered Breathing Technique Moving your body, even in simple ways like doing some jumping jacks Writing down the "mind-chatter" you feel stuck in and then asking, "What does my heart say about this?" Remember, it takes consistent practice to drop the stories you keep repeating in your head in order to enter your heart space. Each of the practices we shared can be helpful if you try them once, but we recommend giving yourself at least 1-3 weeks to experiment with them. That way, you'll learn more about what works best for you!

Each of us sees the world from our own unique perspective. But how can we know if our perspective is right? How can we be sure the way we see the world isn’t flawed? At times, it may even be steering us in the wrong way. Today we look at projection... how it is developed in our lives, how it influences our beliefs, and interactions, and how to overcome it. When we understand it, we can use it to become a better version of ourselves. Show Notes QUOTES: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change." - Wayne Dyer “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”   - Carl Jung “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere.” -Ted Bundy “In analytical psychology, the shadow (also known as id, shadow aspect, or shadow archetype) includes everything in the unconscious mind, good or bad. Another definition in shadow psychology is that the shadow might include only the part of the personality that you don’t want to identify as part of yourself but is still a part of your unconscious mind. This darker side of your personality holds everything your conscious mind can’t admit about itself.” -Jung Resources: Article about Psychological Adaptations Article from the Happiness Clinic about how we can use projection in our self-work. Here's a quick intro to The Soul Podcast: Join your host, Stacey Wheeler as he explores the belief that we're more than just the body. We'll look at what people in history have said on the topic. And we'll explore ways we can connect to this deepest part of ourselves. The Soul Podcast is a non-religious program, yet religious topics are occasionally explored. Each episode is meant to leave you with something that will help you increase or maintain your level of joy and peace. Connect with Stacey & his podcast here: https://www.thesoulpodcast.com/

Intellectual knowledge is great, but it can only take us so far... In other words, if we try using logic to THINK ourselves out of overthinking or overwhelm, it usually doesn't work. We've gotta learn to just drop the thoughts, not attach to them, and then FEEL into the state we would love to experience. Easier said than done, hence why we chose this topic to speak on :)  In this episode, we covered: Why it's so difficult to live in the heart because of our programming  The scientific basis that our heart knows more than our brain Simple ways to start practicing heart-based living One other example that we didn't get into is that KNOWING the divine, connecting with Spirit, is usually not an intellectual thing - sure ideas can help spark the connection, but that connection is always felt. Just like in any good relationship - you love someone because of a feeling. No matter what attributes or characteristics you list for WHY you love them, it never touches the real reason why.  We hope you got a lot out of this episode and we'd love to hear from you!
