Heart Wisdom Can Add Dimension
and Color to Your Thinking



I was blessed this week with the opportunity of attending the Two Worlds Wisdom Gathering organized and presented by the Kaiser Institute.
This Gathering of wonderful 'souls' was a remarkable experience.
We had an opportunity to experience our own spirituality in new ways and
dive deeper into cultures from around the world that are helping to heal the planet.
At this Wisdom Gathering, we met people that are on similar life paths and people that are on diverse pathways.
We were challenged to expand our life experiences and 'see' from a wider perspective.
We were invited to open to a greater understanding of a 'bigger' God than we had ever imagined.
Our narrow views of the universe were opened by new discoveries in science.
We had the opportunity to move, drum and breathe in ways that opened our hearts and bodies to the Divine.
What a gift to be able to share love for our Creator with like-minded souls.

At one session, we were invited to open our hearts to love and create a space for light to enter.
When our hearts were full, we were invited during this prayer/meditation,
to move this 'heart' light up into the space of our heads.
I remember imagining how our 'Heart Wisdom', when combined with our 'Thinking Mind',
has the potential of being an even more powerful tool for viewing the world
and all that is in it.

When I lifted my Heart Energy into my head, I felt a surge of sparkling light fill my head space.
I felt as if my 'mind' expanded to take in a larger view.
I sensed that I was 'seeing' with 'bigger' eyes...with eyes that were filled with the
deep sense of love in my heart.
I sensed an ability to view the world from a more fully human perspective.

This simple exercise/experience was one that reminded me of the limited view
that we often have when we forget to include the perspective of our hearts.
Our eyes can be misled by appearances, but our hearts never lie...

Why not inquire of our hearts more often as to the 'truth' in what we are experiencing?
As we consider the questions that life brings, why not make more room for
the perspective of the heart?
Why not open fully to love in the way we think, see, hear, speak?

The love and light in our hearts is always available to be incorporated into our decision-making, our planning, our visioning, our wondering.

How would our world be different if we chose to think with our hearts?
