As I take my journey toward living more and more through the heart, I am noticing some interesting and amazing things. Lately, I have felt myself drawn back to my Christian upbringing in very powerful ways. Many of my recent posts have discussed recognizing and overcoming darkness as I have felt the need to draw on strength not part of my separate self. Many of these understandings came to my awareness through my religious background. At the same time, I find myself attracted to many of the emotional (and heart-based) experiences I had within the context of church. I find myself missing those feelings and long to experience them again. What is it about those memories that draw me back?
The first thing that comes to mind is unconditional love. For me, Jesus is one of those beings that has shown me how important I am to the whole picture. When I am in the presence of Jesus (or other beings with that same unconditional love), I feel whole. There is no brokenness, no emptiness. Everything I am is valued and appreciated as if I were the only thing in the world that mattered.
The second thing that comes to mind is being able to trust completely. I didn't have to worry about having money to pay my bills or not having a mission or purpose in life. There was a plan, and when I trusted this fact things seemed to work out for the best--even when they didn't appear good in the short term. When I trust and follow that wisdom of the heart, my life just seems to work at better than it does when I use my mind to plan it.
Somewhere along the road I have forgotten to follow the guidance of my heart, which is something I did every day when I was having my "Christian" experience. When you are in flow and following the wisdom and guidance of your heart there is an innate knowing that you are being looked after, cared for. You are loved for who you are, and there is a plan for your life that is not separate from you but is you!!! Such deep unconditional love and unwavering trust allow you to immerse yourself totally in the guidance of the heart, without having to question it.
My Christian experience allowed me to connect to Oneness through my heart and live through that place. I felt loved, cared for and appreciated as I trusted that God always had my back. May I once again allow those understandings to take me back to the place of flow, back to the place of trust, back to the place of peace.
