From an early age we are encouraged to use our powers of thinking. To think our way through solutions and life. There is no doubt that developing the ability to think for ourselves; to be able to process information, plan, learn, research, debate, be a free thinker are important tools to learn. However, less focus is, or certainly was when I was growing up, put on processing, connecting to, or honoring our feelings and we can become out of balance.
I personally have learned that for me to be in balance; to understand myself, to know what I like and don't like, to respond to situation's, to be sovereign, I need to be coming from my heart space. That doesn't mean I throw my head out of the situation altogether! But it does mean my absolute checker, is my heart. I can bring myself more into balance. So when I find myself running around in my head chasing thoughts, I stop, and drop into my heart, and let my body tell me.
In my shamanic energy work, feelings are paramount. I had lost connection with mine over the years. So I had a lot of feelings, but I didn't understand them very well, and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I didn't realise that my feeling were my 'super power', my way of connecting and receiving information. Like many, I had a lot of personal processing to do, and I took on a variety of spiritual training program's to help me with this.
Now every day, I wake and connect to my feelings and I'm grateful for them. I drop into my heart every morning and feel. I connect to the day. I give a quick love bomb of gratitude to be alive and having this life experience. When I go to work I feel everything, in order to be able to work with materials, energies, with Spirit I have to be in the heart. Its a beautiful place to be.
