Around two years ago I started an experiment and began practising two "distinct" aspects of my essence as multidimensional spirit - They are:
1) Following my heart 2) Not worrying Through that continual intense practise I have come to trust completely in a higher force that is looking out for me, steering me to where I need to go, and supplying the things I need and desire on the way. It took me two years because I needed to experience this enough times in order to move beyond any doubt; though I still practise awarely on a daily basis because the habits of old life-long programming are stubborn beasts. Let me explain further: 1) Following my heart. I came to call this the Heart Path. People often say that you should follow your passion in order to live a free and authentic life. I've always had a problem with this because I never could say what my passion really was. Interests came and went, rose and fell like the swells of the ocean. Every next interest became "it!" Until the next thing came along. Passions can change with the wind, so I say "follow your impulse" - whatever your heart makes you feel you FEEL like doing and wherever it leads you to go. Doing this teaches you to listen better to your heart, to distinguish its message and guidance from the impulses of the ego-mind, and it teaches you to trust in the guidance you receive (if you do it with conviction and awareness). By following your heart in this way you can always be sure that you're doing what you most deeply want to do, and that it's you, not your conditioned mind, that's doing the wanting. 2) Not worrying, The only way to understand the utter futility of worrying is to consciously practise "not worrying". Worry is the name we give to a useful emotional trigger that awakens us to something that needs our attention - another "impulse". Beyond that initial impulse that got our attention the worry should be discarded - but oh how we love to cling to our worries and feed them with our fantasy - so much that they become almost prophetic. My brother had a saying; "What if you didn't worry about something, and it DID'NT happen?!" That about sums it up really - worrying in itself does not solve problems, if anything it gets in the way. But we are addicted to this emotion and it overwhelms us. The only way to overcome it is with practise - even to the point of setting yourself up with something to worry about and learning not to worry about it. Without all that disruptive negative energy in your heart and stomach that worrying manifests, there is instead peace and harmony - and in that frequency of peace and harmony problems get solved, often miraculously - and often they just de-manifest. This is something everyone should practise right at the start of any path to personal empowerment and enlightenment. Summing up, this is how I see it: Following your "heart-impulse" shows you just how free you are to live any life you want... and learning "not to worry" gives you the freedom to BE that free.
