What is the Heart-Centered Way?
How I understand the world has transformed over the last ten years. This evolution in my beliefs and understanding have taught me about life, human potential, and how to weave the two together.
We learn and grow with each breath we take. In this way, our world is not what it once was. In many ways we have blossomed. Yet, in other ways we have become lost due to the wounds of our ancestors. We have lost our most basic understanding of what it means to be a human being.
As a result, we no longer know how to live our life in a manner that ensures healing, happiness, and love. A life where we thrive and Mother Earth and all our relations thrive too. But we can choose to learn and evolve – rediscovering the lost magic of life.
The Heart-Centered Way fuses together the layers of life to support this magic, this vibrancy of life, and our healing. Which will guide us in reshaping our future as we find our way.
I believe that we are loved, wanted, embraced, and accepted. I believe that we are loved unconditionally by Creation. Therefore, I believe that we have a right to prosper.
My journey began as a teenager, when I felt lost and confused, a bitter recipe for pain. As I searched for answers about life and who I am – a healing tonic – I ended up discovering humanity. Through time and practice I began to curate information, tools, and long-lost wisdom. My next step was to take all of these strands and weave together my approach to life, based upon my understanding of Creation.
This journey was triggered by my own desire for healing and understanding. I wanted to understand, I wanted to know how to live, and I wanted to make a difference. I still do. So, I decided to take my personal experience, what I have discovered, and share it with you…
By becoming a medicine woman and sharing with you all I know so far, I can unveil the possibilities we as human beings have in life. I want the world to remember what it means to be a human being, so that we may each thrive in our personal human experience. Not only that, but to also learn how we can become Heart Warriors. A new incarnation of warrior, this time dedicated to the purpose of healing and transformation, not only for ourselves but for the world.
The future is written today.
The Human Experience:
I begin my teachings at the very beginning: with our human experience – the journey we take here on Mother Earth as human beings.
What I’ve discovered is that we each have an understanding of life, ourselves, and others. This personal philosophy influences how we feel and what we think about life. Triggering our response and sometimes reaction to the world. Dictating how we act and the choices we make. Then our choices influence how the world responds to us.
Through these choices, crafted by our understanding and beliefs, we write the future. For it is the choices of today, which build, allow, support, and design our tomorrow. Therefore, our personal philosophy has the awesome power to shape the human experience.
For Example:
Consider what happens when you first meet a person. In one instance you scream in their face. Now consider how they might respond if you complimented them instead… A single choice will naturally manifest a certain life experience and environment.
Not just a choice, but our choices. Our personal free will, our personal choice, our personal power – crafting our reality.
Therefore, we must test what we know (personal philosophy) in order to not only have a guide map to life, but a healthy one. A reference guide that will support us as we navigate moment-to-moment choices.
Following the reconsideration of our understanding of life (covered in Volume I: What is the Human Experience?), we must then choose a principle or lifestyle. This additional information personalizes the basics of human life to reflect our individual and unique selves. Unleashing our personal power in alignment with our values.
A Heart-Centered Life:
I have chosen to live my life from a Heart-Centered principle. A principle based upon my values.
What I value is: love, healing, happiness, authenticity, honor, compassion, acceptance…
For when you compare the wide range of love, as opposed to the destructive nature of fear, what you discover is the natural responses that can be created. Fear naturally breeds: destruction, more fear, hatred, shame, greed, anger, self-loathing, and unhappiness.
Yet, when we consider what all the various forms of love manifest, we discover: unconditional love, self-love, familial love, friendship love, romantic love, compassion, courage, tenderness, strength, community, and so much more. We discover the building blocks to a happy and thriving life.
By delving into the two styles and Ten Categories of Love (covered in Volume II: A Heart-Centered Life), we equip ourselves to design a life of love.
Our Personal Path of Happiness:
While a healthy personal philosophy with a Heart-Centered lifestyle equips us to navigate life in a healthy and loving manner – life is happening in the present moment.
It is within the present that we discover the gift of choice. Granting us: emotions, thoughts, experiences, and so much more. In the present moment we are choosing the future. Therefore, any life we are to live is happening right now, as you read these words.
Since life is happening now and not after we learn all about life, love, and then create a complete and healthy dream life – we need to understand that this is a process. It is an evolution, a journey… a human experience.
So, while we devote our life to love, healing, and growth… I structure my life utilizing a Path of Happiness.
Life is a journey, so if we were to place happiness as a destination, we would only get to experience the life we desire once and awhile. In the meantime, life – the journey itself – would be another sort of experience. Rather than limiting happiness in life, I choose to make the journey itself a thing of happiness.
By living life based upon a Path of Happiness (introduced in Volume II: A Heart-Centered Life) we live presently. Able to enjoy the many gifts and blessings we already have. This also allows us to make choices and changes to build, maintain, and perpetuate our life for further happiness.
We are alive today. We are bonded with our body, mind, heart, and soul. We are empowered by our choice: our personal freedom. We are building our lives while laying the foundation for the future.
The Heart-Centered Way:
Most recently I have wished to take things a step further. While my healing and continued learning have brought me what I sought at the very beginning of my quest. Now I want to use it.
My journey has been a winding and twisting road, even at times leading off road and into the great unseen and unknown. Through it I have discovered how to live happily. I know how to heal pain and trauma. I understand why, which helps me make healthy choices, as well as endure the hard moments. I have accomplished all I set out to achieve and so much more.
So…now I want to help this world heal and transform. To be a brick layer and dance into the ground of Mother Earth a sanctuary for the generations to come.
It is time for the Heart Warrior…
A man or woman or non-binary who lives their life in accordance with the Heart-Centered Way. A code of conduct that provides guidance, answers, and resources so we can positively impact the world around us.
This time warriors all around the globe are not being called to the battlefield. Nor are they being asked to kill. This time they are being asked to heal. To walk a path of love, to teach it, and to utilize it to rekindle hope in the lost, wounded, and ignorant.
The Heart-Centered Way takes the next step past self-healing and reintroduces people back into the world. Connected with faith, hope, love, and understanding they will possess the patience, tolerance, compassion, and persistence needed. Like water they will help this world transform. Not through brute force but rather through dedication and devotion.
We are dedicated to: humanity, the plants and the animals, Mother Earth, the galaxy, life, and Creation itself. As human beings, we expand our hearts to not only include humanity but all.
