After practicing mindfulness for few years, I started to feel a shift within me. I am now able to identify from which place I am operating, whether it is from my head or from my heart or both. I am now able to tell whenever one is ruling the other one. I can now know if what I am saying to myself or someone else in on the heart level or on the mental level or both.
At first, I have been able to identify these 2 different levels with the words I was using... and of course, I became aware of the fact I was mainly saying "I think" instead of "I feel" or asking "what do you think?" instead of "what do you feel?". And I noticed the answers I got were different as well... Depending on the words I used, I was making a different type of connections with myself or others: either a mental connection either a heart connection. Then, the more I am practicing some body awareness/mindfulness techniques, the more I am now able to feel within my body where I am operating from. When it is from my Heart, I feel a lot of warmth around my Heart area, I feel more vulnerable (and this is scary and exciting at the same time!), and I express more my emotions. I am now also more aware of the level(s) other people are operating from. And this is not only knowing from which level(s) I am operating from. This is also about being able to listen to what has to say each level. And here, I don't believe one level is better than the other one. I believe our role is to be able to listen to both of them and to integrate them into our daily choices and actions. For example, when making decisions, integrating rational informations AND emotions. And in some situations, it is about being able to know from which level we are operating, which level would be the best to operating from and to being able to switch to the most adapted level. For example, when it comes to heart-to-heart human connexions. So ask yourself regularly when making decisions, having conversations with others or with yourself: from which level(s) are you operating? Is this the most adadpted one? If not, how can you switch to the most adapted one? What are your thoughts? #Mindfulness #Heartfulness #MindfulnessInspiration #CoachNadegeEsteban #WiseMind |
