During the Summer months, the Universal energies resonate closely with the frequency of the Heart. Achieving Heart harmony involves quieting the mind to allow the entire being to enter a state of peacefulness. Despite the challenges of our busy lives, it is essential to find moments to let go and connect with love and happiness within.
Take a moment to close your eyes and visualize a cherished memory with someone you love. Notice how your body responds to this memory—your face softens, your smile widens, your heartbeat slows down. This physical response is a manifestation of love.
Love is not just a mental concept—it is a form of energy and consciousness. Every cell in your body holds a memory of love, making it a tangible form of data. Embrace this feeling, engrain it within you, let it resonate to your core. Then, in times of stress, close your eyes, remember that feeling of love, and let it guide you back to peace.
As you journey through life, you may encounter new forms of love that surpass your previous experiences. Close your eyes again, embrace these moments, and pay attention to how your entire body reacts—the sensations in your chest, neck, face, and heartbeat. These memories of love will stay with you indefinitely.
In the realm of traditional Chinese medicine, each organ has a designated period of dominance throughout the day. The Heart’s time reigns between 11am and 1pm. Take advantage of this period to practice Heart harmony. Find a few minutes during these hours to close your eyes, evoke feelings of love, and nourish your body with these positive messages. Over time, you can replace feelings of sadness with those of love and tranquility.
