Emotional Freedom

Is being SELFish Heart Intelligent?

I leave it up to you to answer that question for yourself. Below the link to a blog post about some flawed premisses that contstrain us in our emotional freedom. And an invitation to exchange them to more freeing beliefs ...

Is being SELFish OK? How about loving ourselves more than anyone else? An invitation to change our beliefs to ones that are routes to success and happiness.

What is it that you think about the most? What is it that you talk about the most? And what is it that you observe others talking about the most?

Since I'm practicing talking less about what doesn't work in my life, I become more and more aware of how common it seems to do so. How we even seem to be rewarded by others fullest attention when we share about our miserabilities.

I believe that doesn't serve us. At least, if our intention is to feel good and to attract good feeling experiences in our lives.
Of course there's nothing wrong with paying attention to ANY feeling or emotion ... since our emotions are our guidance. Whether it are good or bad labeled emotions, whether they are perceived positive or negative.

I think it is a wonderful thing to be aware, acknowledge, accept and embrace what is not working in our lives. What is not feeling good. Clarity about what we don't want offers us clarity about what we do want. However, I believe that it serves us best to move our attention in the direction of what we do want as quick as possible.

Heart Circles are a powerful environment to practice this, to re-train, re-condition ourselves. In the presence of the loving, supporting, accepting attention of others in the amplified field of the circle, we can start anchoring a new habit, a habit of giving as much air time as available to what we want, to what does work, to what we appreciate. We can train ourselves into a new focus. To an empowered state of being. To a position of choice. To transform an experience of being lived to living our being.

So, if you want, you can start to observe what it is that you (and others around you) are dominantly broadcasting. And if you want to take it a step further, you might want to experiment with changing what you broadcast. And changing what you receive. Please, don't try to change others (I tried that enough in my life ... isn't working!) - others are none of our business. WE are our business. And we can have full control about what we focus on to think about, talk about, write about ... it is OUR choice! We are, or can gradually become, in utter POWER about our inner world. And it is so interesting to then observe what is happening in the reflection of our outer world ...

The Key to the HEART
.. another perspective on the Power of Now:

"You're not ever going to FEEL in the future, you're only going to feel in the NOW."
~ Abraham-Hicks

Another Abraham-Hicks diamond, that relates strongly to the prime agreement in Heart Intelligence events, circles and coaching:
the purpose of participating is to enjoy it.

It is not about fixing, improving, living up to spiritual or moral standards ... it is not about doing or trying doing the right thing ... it is about coming into our JOY.

I love what Abraham says here about reasons to come together:

"Find “reasons” (though you don’t need “reasons” …) to play together, to be spontaneous together, to discover together, to expand together, to love together, to appreciate together, to play together … just for the fun of it. Go to work and pretend to play … be playful in your life …"

So the fundamental question is:
WHY am I doing whatever I am doing?

We get too invested in what somebody else thinks about what we’re doing ... if it were true that you’re only doing it for the fun of it, if you’re having fun, you wouldn’t give a rib what somebody else thought about it!

Our "job" is to get in sync with your joy! To follow your bliss …
And Heart Intelligence is such a wonderful practice to support us up the emotional scale ... from powerlessness to anger to frustration to overwhelment … all the way up to joy and bliss - following the guidance of our emotions.

This Abraham-Hicks piece reminds me of the power of participating in Heart Intelligence circle and NOT taking space. Holding space and witnessing. The power of that. Not only for the space taker, but in particular for me.

"You wil notice a very nice unfolding here. Sometimes the thing you want so much to talk about, you can't here the answer from where you are. And so, we'll invite someone else to the chair to talk about. You're much more likely in fact to hear the answer to your question if you're not sitting in the chair. Because you can't be in the vibration of asking for something, and in the vibration of receiving the answer at the same time." ~ Abraham-Hicks

It also explains what might contribute to the dynamics, that in the position of space holder, we might (think we) see "solutions" or have insights for them, they don't seem able to get in touch with. They are doing the work for us.
And more, this also makes even more sense of the agreement about "no fixing or advising". They need to find their way to the frequency of the answer first. And in the mean while, we - as witnesses - are soaking in it :-)

Something to sit with, be still with ...
(a wonderful emotional freedom practice - with thanks to Jeff Foster)

BEING WITH SENSATION

Contact a physical sensation without judgement.
Don't think about the sensation, don't analyse it, just be with it.

You didn't create it.
You are not responsible for it.
It is not your fault.
You did nothing wrong.
It is not your job to heal it, fix it, get rid of it, or even work out 'why' it is there.
It is not personal, like the morning birdsong, or the roar of traffic outside your window.

Know less. Feel more.
Commit to the moment.
Come out of the story of past, with its guilt and regret.
Come out of the story of future, with its fear and anticipation.
Feel the raw sensation now, life in its purest form, a dance of energy.
It is here for a moment.
Honour its fleeting appearance.

Be the space for the sensation, its container, its presence, its warm embrace.
It is not your enemy, and it may be your greatest teacher.

STILNESS

I learned about stillness as one of the core qualities to connect to and live from my heart. Heart as in what is true for me, what is my essence, in any moment, in THE moment, because there is only one. Indeed stepping out of conditioning, out of what my mind learned to think what is true. The mind that is conditioned to seek "truths" that are consistent, predictable. However, the truth of our heart can change, moment by moment. I can only know my truth NOW. And it is stillness that reveals that for me. Because the chatter in my head will bring me yesterday's truth. Conditioned truth.

The consistency and reliability of the truth of my heart is that I can trust that it will reveal what is true for me now, what is right for me now, what is real for me now. That is what for me guidance is, the moment be moment whispering of my heart that I only can hear in that state of inner still alertness, when practicing stillness.

One of the basic agreements in Heart IQ, and I would want to say for me a basic attitude to live from the heart, is not to try to fix or advice others. Especially not unsollicited. Nor confronting. I am living more and more from the place that I can't know what is good for another. Educated as and raised by a teacher, this required quite a shift for me personally ;-) And still often one of my bigger challenges ...

in other words: I totally agree with Abe's quote below!

And that is part of what Emotional Freedom is for me: the freedom that is not trying to control others :-)

The practice of Heart Intelligence invites us to (re-) connect with our Heart. Which in fact is about connecting to our highest truth, our essence. Otherwise said: it is simply about being REAL.

From a young age we have been subject to conditioning. Possibly to an extent that we largely disconnected from our heart, from our truth. For many of us, at some point in our lives, we start to be aware of that. These days that point seems for the "newscomers" that point seems to be at a more and more early stage of life. For the more "oldies", like me ;-), that point might have occured at a rather advanced age ...

And all is good. I like to invite you to listen to this video of Bashar. However the sound quality isn't the best (noise), for me it is very worthwile and inspiring to listen to. To be inspired to both embrace conditioning AND to free ourselves from it. Have fun!

The practice of Heart Intelligence uses acceptance of what is, knowing and embracing what we are feeling right now, as a stepping stone for transformation. Not big once in a life time everything changing transformation. Step by step, every moment small transformations. The little adjustments that have big impact.

Letting go of resistance of what is moving with us, acknowledging that, owning it and loving it as a step to connect to the underlying longing, which leads us to inspired action.

Eckhart Tolle's quote is such a great reminder of what is blocks our way to a joyful life. Of what holds us stuck in suffering ... since what we feel, our emotions, even those that we label "negative", are never the cause of our pain, but our resistance to them are.

Heart-Intelligence works ... especially in relationships! And also to complete a relationship from the heart. Not only for inner peace and processing pain of a break up, but also to establish solid ground and freedom to move forward to a new, even better relationship.

I love to share this wonderful testimonial of Michelle White Hart, how Heart IQ coaching helped her move through difficulties she encountered during the ending of her relationship:

Thank you so much, Michellle, for your willingness and courage to share your heart in such open and vulnerable, yet empowered way!

For my friends in the US (and anyone who wants to improve or attract their intimite relationship and is willing to travel):

I just returned from the Love, Relationship & You event with Christian Pankhurst. It was an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G experience ... I would say nearly sacred! I witnessed many wonders, was touched by incredible levels of intimacy and connection, deep transformation and the freeing of huge sources of LOVE. Christian and Stephanie did an amazing job delivering this powerful and profound event, yet with such grace and simplicity.

I will share more about my personal experience later, still processing and integrating this wonderful journey, but just want to invite anyone longing for a thriving, loving, exciting relationship to consider stepping in and assigning for this event, that is going to be also delivered in the US from October 22nd in Denver, Colorado. You can check it out here:
http://www.heartiq.com/events/love-relationships-you-event/31

Really, I have a lot of experience regarding trainings and events I attended, for many decades, but this is one of a kind. I am surprised finding myself sharing about it in these superlatives here. The fact is that I don't want anyone to miss out on this life (and in particular relationship) changing, transforming experience. It's too huge. And if you want to know more, I'd be happy to share more in person or as a reply to comments below this post.

PS I don't know if / how many spots are left at this event, just want to let you know about it inspired by my personal experience these amazing 6 days ...

PSS of course also this training is not a one time fix for any relationship or personal issues ... the proof of the pudding will be in the applying of the offered practices at home. This is not about "break throughs" ... this is about knowing, learning, practicing simple ways to connect, to deepen intimacy, and to re-connect whenever it gets tough.

Love Relationships & You is an educational, experiential and embodied 4-Day Retreat that brings Heart IQ into your intimate sexual relationships. During the retreat, a maximum of 8 couples 'take space' under Christian's guidance, while those attending as non-space-taking SINGLE AND COUPLE participa…
