Love as a way to live
“Love is the core frequency or energy with which God created all”
Sara Paddison, “The Hidden Power of the Heart”
Years ago I used to enjoy watching Star Trek episodes, especially noticing Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s way of thinking. Captain Picard used to listen to Data, a human-robot that would give him a perfect solution from reason’s point of view. At the same time, Picard would listen to the rest of his team.
Finally he would pause and he would listen to his heart. You would see how his face relaxed and he breathed-in and out rhythmically, calm and peaceful. Then he would make a decision.
Is it really possible to make a decision in a delicate moment of your existence based on love and listening to your heart? Is it possible to make any decision based on love? Sure it is. Actually we are created to make decision just from the heart.
How can that be?
Well, it is a law of the universe that the first cluster of a group of cells provide the most important part of the future organism. For example, in the case of trees, the roots are the first cluster and from there comes all the later development of the plant. In our case, it is scientifically proved that at the beginning, in our mother womb, we are just a heart; nothing else is there. No brain, no hands, legs or anything else; just a heart. Isn’t that amazing? So when we focus on our heart, or even better, when we go inside our heart, we have access to our primary cells. We have access to the love that created us.
Science has now proven something very interesting: inside of the heart there are neurons with synapses, similar to the ones that reside in the brain. What is even more interesting is that the brain sends ten times less information to the heart than the heart sends to the brain. So that small clusters of neurons inside of the heart has a thousand times more power than brain’s neurons.
For the past thirty years I have researched, in-depth, the nature of the heart and self-empowerment with several spiritual teachers, masters and schools of meditation, including the Institute of HeartMath. I have gathered experiences (including my personal ones) from all of them and without exception the result is the same: inside of our heart there is a hidden power and the source of this power is love – unconditional love.
I started this article with a quote from Sara Paddison, written in her book “The Hidden Power of the Heart”: “Love is the core frequency or energy with which God created all”. Sara Paddison explains that the heart contains an unlimited source of higher intelligence “programs” for making efficient choices in life.
I can add that anyone can access these programs by listening to the voice of the heart. How can we do this, how we can listen to the wisdom of the heart? People think that it is very difficult to access the heart, to go into the heart and to see, sense and feel the outside reality from the heart. People think that you need a laborious and strenuous effort to live from the heart, to live using the unconditional love of the heart. Actually it is very easy. It is so easy that you will smile when you are going to do it.
I will give you the simplest method that you can use: the heart imagery method. I wrote about it in my book, “Heart Imagery: A Path to Enlightenment”. It is coming from ancient times and it was used at the beginning, by the Adamic Race as a method to feel the outside world just from the heart. So close your eyes, breathe three times (breathe in with normal inhalations and breathe out long, slow exhalations through your mouth; and as you do, see all of your problems, issues, concerns and internal conflicts going out and away). Then breathe in and out normally. Imagine a spiral staircase going down from the middle of your brain to the middle of your chest. Go down the stairs. Step off the stairs and gently turn to your left. There is a door there that goes into your heart (it can be any type of door you imagine). Open the door and step inside of your heart; remember to close the door behind you. For a moment see, sense and feel the power and love emanating from your heart.
And now for the rest of the day try to focus your attention to your heart and breath rhythmically. The results of this simple exercise are amazing. First, your energy changes completely – you feel younger, filled with vitality, strength and liveliness. Secondly, you will learn to listen with your heart instead of listenening with the head. A subtle essence is perceived in all the body – an invisible inner balance comes into each cell. And finally, you will literally use the hidden power of your heart: the unconditional love. Your heart will connect with the invisible network of the other hearts around you and love will be your way to live.
