Returning Home | by Madisyn Taylor Spiritual teachers have always pointed to the heart as the seat of consciousness, and recently Western science has found evidence to support this realization. It turns out that the heart has its own central nervous system and is not simply under the rule of the brain as formerly believed. Anyone who has taken the time to explore the heart knows this and, more important, has realized that the heart is the source of our connection to a consciousness greater than the ego. Approaching life with an open heart means that we have opened the door to this greater consciousness, taking up residence alongside it in the seat of our soul. Fortunately, at this time there is a lot of support for this shift energetically as well as practically. To some degree, approaching life with an open heart is as simple as shifting your attention onto your heart. Eventually you will be able do this any time, any place, but at first it may help to try it in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Simply sit with your eyes closed and draw your breath into your heart. As your breath expands your chest cavity, your heart expands and opens. You may feel tenderness or sadness in your heart, and you may also feel relief. Any emotions that arise can be effectively witnessed and healed through the meditation process, which benefits both your physical heart and your energetic heart. The more you practice, the more you will find your heart opening to your own presence and to all the situations your life brings. When we open our hearts, they may feel tender and vulnerable, which simply means that they need our loving attention as we cleanse and heal them of past hurts and blockages. This process asks us to practice some of the heart's greatest lessons--patience, compassion, and unconditional love. On the other hand, we may take up residence as effortlessly as a bird returns to its nest. Either way, approaching life with an open heart simply means returning to our true home. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Laura Katleman-Prue I want to let you in on a little secret: you don't need willpower to stay at your ideal weight for the rest of your life! You just need to change your diet (rather than diet) and learn to keep the mature part of you in charge of your eating. Now it's time to lose the excess weight and get the body you've always wanted--but not just or a month or two--for life!! Imagine not being able to gain weight. "Impossible!" you say? Not so. Many of my students can't gain weight again because they eat with health in mind and no longer think about food. Thinking leads to desire which leads to action. If you stop thinking about food, you can't desire it, and you can't gain weight. Using the simple five-minute daily exercises in this course, you will learn an easy way of eating that will serve you well for the rest of your life. Part II is about changing your diet forever, rather than going on a diet, which is temporary. When you permanently change your diet, you never again regain your lost weight. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
