Lesson 263: When You Reach Heart of Connection...

Moving through the passages of the heart allows a freedom of fear. Still can be tough to confront, but you have the strength and ability to do it. more so, you have the awareness to pass through the passages. It’s not a race either. You work through your challenges at your pace and when ready, move onto the next passage of the heart. You can even go back to pain to reach compassion and then connection. Today is about understanding yourself as One and you’re vibrating at a higher consciousness. If you don’t feel this, that’s okay, ask to be opened more.

I understand connection as being One. We are all One with each other and One with the Universe. This is my viewpoint. Down to a base level, we are all the same – when we are born, we’re a clean slate that is open for possibilities. It’s the teachings from friends, family and teachers in school that shape our minds, and sometimes not necessarily for the better. I think society tries to create a sense of Oneness – belonging to a country, belonging to a religion, belonging to a club or community, though those types of Oneness can segregate at the same time. Sometimes we just overlook everyone as a whole collective as being One. We are more connected than we realise. I think we have the ability through Oneness to lift people out of their plight by spreading compassion and love. We forget Oneness when we watch people fall and not do anything to help. We lose Oneness when we’re force fed ideals, that are against our nature, through marketing and advertising that paint unrealistic imagery to make us feel bad about ourselves. We are not One because we choose to disconnect. Oneness can be reinforced when we choose to be daring and different. We can spread Oneness… something we’ve chosen to ignore and can re-establish. Imagine if everyone just loved one another. Imagine what the world’s vibration of human collective would feel like if we all just simply loved one another. What a wonderful world that would be.

My answers:

  • When I am truly and deeply rested, I feel rejuvenated and energised.

  • What gets in the way of my getting deep rest is a hectic schedule.

  • What I can do to cultivate more rest in my life (starting today) is saving days for just rest for self and not making commitments for others if I am in need of deep rest.
