Heart Is Where The Home Is
Dear Blessed One,
Some years ago, I went through a period of time where my meditation and contemplation was only, “Who am I?”
One night after my question and then sitting in stillness waiting, I drifted off to sleep and a Light Being appeared. I felt happy and excited to be in its presence. It magically produced a big bag, reached inside and pulled out one of my memories. I said, “Hey, that’s mine!” It nodded and reached in and showed me more and more of my memories.
All of a sudden something came over me and I said, “Oh! You mean I’m just a big bag of memories?!” POOF! The Light Being disappeared. I took that as a ‘yes’.
A lightness of being came over me and all at once I could see that the past was not real. I was the one responsible for keeping something alive that was no longer here…just a memory, and even that wasn’t very accurate. I could clearly see that living in the past was keeping me stuck and creating suffering.
This realization was the beginning of my consciously choosing the present moment (over and over) as the mind drifted, creating or following stories and thoughts.
What I found was that when I am very aware, here-now, and in my feeling body, things from my past could rise to be felt, integrated and healed. As this process continued, I could feel my whole being restructuring without me doing anything. A relaxation at the core of my being began to happen and as that happened, I began finding more and more of Me here.
Someone once said, “The longest journey a man must take is the eighteen inches from his head to his heart.”
Heart is where the home is…
Magic happens when you arrive…come home.
Much Love and Blessings to You,
