The wisdom of your heart can be unwavering and, in moments, even unclear. The heart is an ocean of emotions, through those waves, we must find its wisdom.
I was born a sensitive soul, and because of this, I have always been very connected to my emotions. I could hear the whispers of my heart.
Being sensitive and navigating a world that may not always appreciate my sensitivity was tough.
Sadly, in my early twenties, I started believing I should try to suppress my emotions. I had the pressure of my family telling me I was too sensitive, so I began to pretend to be someone I wasn’t. I stopped listening to the wisdom of my heart, which caused me to lose myself.
It was then that my heart began calling me, saying please wake up, don’t forget about me I’m still here guiding you.
As I was starting to wake up, I remembered who I was, I decided to reclaim my sensitive heart!
Understanding The Heart’s Wisdom
The heart speaks a different language; it may give you a slight nudge telling you to talk to this person, befriend this person, watch your diet, go to bed sooner, pick up a new hobby, or it will ask you to change jobs and start public speaking.
It wants you to take leaps of faith into the unknown. It nudges you to trust your intuition; it tells you not to be afraid.
The more connected you become, it will tell you everything will be ok, even if the world appears to be falling apart.
It tells you to trust in yourself, know the beauty of this universe, and believe in the power of unconditional love.
As I navigated my heart, I began to understand the meaning of surrender. There are powers far beyond my understanding that guide us in this universe.
It’s when I listen to the wisdom of my heart that my life tends to be more in flow. There seems to be an inner knowing I am heading in the right direction. My mind stops questioning, and the heart leads — saying trust in me and I will guide you.
Reflecting, I came across a poem I wrote as a young girl. This poem made me realize we are all born with a deep connection with our heart’s wisdom. As we age, we may forget it, but it is always there for us to reclaim its wisdom.
The voice is so profound
It gives us the insight to know
It teaches us what path we have chosen
The inner voice seems to be so clear
We ask ourselves, is it GOD, or will we ever know
But we go on listening, wondering, and believing
Must we ask ourselves so many questions, should we ever doubt
It’s a gift given, not to shun but to carry through life.
Opening The Heart
Don’t fear the vast ocean of your emotions — these emotions guide us into our intuition. Most people avoid uncomfortable feelings. They check out or use vices to numb out. But here is the thing: our intuition mostly speaks to us through painful feelings. This is when we know where we are off-kilter. Through emotions, we are getting to understand how our soul speaks.
The deeper the ocean of your emotions the deeper your heart’s inner wisdom.
The beauty of this wisdom helps us pick the right friends, the perfect partners, the best careers, and most importantly the right path.
As our heart grows so does our compassion.
"If your heart is small, one unjust word or act will make you suffer. But if your heart is large, if you have understanding and compassion, that word or deed will not have the power to make you suffer."
"Hanh Nhat Thich, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching"
As humans, we can be scattered. We want one thing from our minds and another from our emotions. The goal is to unify — then the mind and the heart become one.
For all you sensitive people remember to reclaim the wisdom of your own heart, and let it guide you!
Blessings from my heart to yours.
