As aware as we may be, we are so easily unaware of what is really driving us. So much of who we are being at any given moment is based on patterns that were shown to us early in our lives or the general make-up of what it means to be a human being. We are creative in how we explain our propulsions but to hone in on what is really driving us takes effort and patience. Mindfulness is a skill which is to be practiced. Tuning into our hearts as much as it is a doorway into the truth of who we are is not a standard go to. At least, not to most adults. As children we are more easily in touch with the propulsion of our hearts but growing up in a logical leaning environment can wear down the sensibility to it. God is constantly encouraging us to reignite a relationship of awareness to our hearts and thus a deeper awareness into what we can invite to provide a more authentic propulsion to our lives. Each breath is an opportunity to tap into the awareness of our hearts. It sounds too simplistic because we are culturally propelled to look for the more complicated rational. After all, it makes us sound more impressive, doesn’t it? Or does it make us appear more confused. It is not one or the other but, at least in the western world, most propulsion results in a leaning towards the logical at the expense of the heart. We can choose to use the reminder generated through our breath to bring our hearts back into the conversation. The propulsion of our hearts can awaken us to a side of ourselves we may have long shut down. Widening and deepening the connection between our hearts and minds will enable us to build a way of being where our propulsions match the truth of who we are.
Do we believe we possess the courage to accept the invitation of our breaths to check back in to the propulsions stemming from our hearts today?
