Mind the Heart

In Eastern literature, it is believed that the heart rules the mind; for the heart is linked to Universal Consciousness, that which is omniscient and omnipotent, all-seeing and all-knowing. It is also clear that the mind (ego) has a role in conducting our day-to-day activities consciously. How then can you change the role of the mind from being the master of your destiny to being the beloved servant in your daily life?

You can learn many techniques at workshops and through counselling can also acquire tools and abilities to centre the mind, feel calm, blissful and at peace. Centering the mind with meditation, yoga, breath work, as well as creative outlets like painting, pottery, other art, music, poetry; or even simple pleasures like walking, singing, dancing or swimming are all
beneficial. These and other activities each contribute to clearing the mind and helping you stay in the present moment. As does keeping your body clean, vibrant and healthy. The more you develop and practise behaviours that keep you clear, peaceful and fulfilled; the more these behaviours become the patterns of how you react to situations, particularly the unexpected ones that take you by surprise.

The clearer and calmer the mind and the more in the present moment, the more likely it is to catch the little games it plays. One little game is fooling you into believing it is the boss; the mind likes to be in control, no question. It brings up old patterns as ways of dealing with situations where new patterns may be more effective, more peaceful or empowering. Who would best be in control of your life? The mind or the heart? More likely the heart. Why? The heart is not separate, as is the mind. The heart is connected to All That Is. Through consciousness, the heart connects with Universal Mind or Universal Consciousness. The certainty of your heart (intuition) is called knowingness. Certain things you know to be true. These things are permanent, most other things are impermanent. Your heart is connected to Universal Consciousness, infinite in its reach in time and
space, while your finite mind or ego dies when you do.

We have to continue developing new patterns by doing those things that clear the mind and bring us into the present moment. What would that be for you? Find out and you have found ways of getting closer to your inner Self. That is unshakeable. That is permanent. Beneficial patterns emanating from the heart and healthy learned patterns from the mind allow you to live more peacefully and joyfully.

The heart functions silently using a small voice - barely a whisper - and is frequently overlooked or missed altogether. However when invited to participate, the heart operates by knowing what’s best for us: how to function optimally, how to remain healthy and whole, how to fulfill our potential and how to live, share and communicate as if we are all One. Some say the root of all our problems would be solved if we each took some time to be in a room, in a quiet state and meditate on who we are. It’s true, this could be the route to helping with our emotional patterns. Meditation slows down our thoughts and expands our awareness of the truth, of our inner Self. Meditation and breathwork can help relieve the daily stress in our lives and help us recognize when our mind is working overtime. When our mind slows down, we become aware, and we recognize our thoughts. We perceive how some of our thoughts make us feel well and others less so. A quiet mind linked to the heart allows us to recognize the drama and the truth in our lives and the difference.

While in a concentration camp, Victor Frankl realized that we always have the last say in how we think, believe, feel and thus act or react. We have a choice about our attitude, our action or reaction in a situation. In the beginning, as we entrain our minds, it’s a continuous process to ensure that actions and reactions come from the heart. We may begin to notice the
mind listening for and following thoughts and feelings generated by the heart. Finally the conscious mind becomes a beloved servant and the heart the master of our destiny.
