The distinguishing factor between our mind and our heart is the directness and volume at which they speak.  In our minds, the language that is used is straightforward and fits into a system of communication that is understandable outside ourselves as well.  The language of the heart is subtle and quiet.  One reason why children and those we label as intellectually challenged have a more open and perhaps louder speaking heart is that they are not as indoctrinated in the logical language of the mind.  They do not yet know the importance culture has placed on needing to be able to explain one’s inner reality in a way others can grasp.  Children have no problem using their imagination and going with the hints their hearts prompt them to take.  The hints of our hearts encourage us to breathe and be in the moment, to see with more than our eyes and let go of the need to make things understandable.  Allowing the hints from our hearts to travel to our minds is one way of integrating ourselves.  Letting go of the need to make sense and be right in our mind so others will accept makes room for the hints to guide us into an experience of life that is not limited by what is already known.  Learning to make room for the hints of our hearts means we trust that life will unfold and we will have what we need to face whatever comes when it comes.
