Have you created any heart connections with others lately?
Sometimes life gets so busy we forget… I know I do. I’ve had a few lately. Sitting here in Hawai’i, feeding the birds on the lawn in front of our deck, I realize that an important heart connection to make is with ourselves. And being in nature seems to elicit those heart connections more effortlessly than just about anything else. Abraham Maslow calls them Peak Experiences.
When we can slow down enough to just “enjoy the birds” we have a better chance of just “being.” That slowing down allows the magic of heart connections to happen.
Two days ago a little brown bird came and visited me. He actually preferred eating out of my hand. I know this because there was food on the floor, the table, my chair and my hand. That little brown bird has been one the highlight of this two week vacation. This moment could have happened if I hadn’t slowed down. In the moments we can feel our hearts swelling with awe, we have a heart connection with ourselves and with God. After all, at our core is our God-self.
This evening we’re going to scuba dive with manta rays so I’m open to another delightful heart connection… with myself, with God and with those beautiful manta rays.
Another benefit of making opportunities to have heart connections is when we are in that state of being, we’re practicing how to love. Actually, we can use those moments as a chance to practice just being in that state of openness so that when we interact with others, we are less and less likely to get triggered by our “stuff.” Just another good reason to spend time in nature.
Make at least one heart connection today, even it it’s with yourself…
From my heart to yours,
