Episode # 26 The Journey - Connecting To My Heart
Send us a textIn this episode, I share some thoughts on a topic dear to my heart. I am very excited about it because it is about the heart!All that I am learning about and experiencing relates to my current direction in life, which is an adventure in becoming a Certified Life Coach centered on the heart. I have never considered being a Life Coach before, yet a few months ago, I got a strong impression that this is what I need to do, so here I am, taking another step in my faith journey. Since starting this program, I've learned so much about heart connections, not only to my heart but also to others. This knowledge helps me recognize how to be more in tune with my feelings and intuition.In Baptist De Pape's book "The Power of the Heart," I read:"Our very first heartbeat begins spontaneously."…”The beating starts the moment that specialized heart cells form and multiply in the fetus. The cells beat even before the whole heart has formed. And they beat in unison." Knowing that the heart is the first organ to develop before any other parts or organs of the body is exciting. This tiny vital organ has a rhythmic beat that continues to grow, becoming a big part of our bodies' development.Neal Donald Walsch said: "The beat of your heart is the energy of life itself.”…"The secret of the human heart is that it contains not only your identity but God's, wrapped up in one." Many scriptures refer to a heart.One of them comes from the Bible in the book of Mathew 5:8Jesus said: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." - Matthew 5:8What does it mean to Have a Pure Heart? Have you ever wondered about having a pure heart, dear listener? Here is an answer for me and perhaps for you: A pure heart is charity. It means I am forgiving, patient, and not critical or judgmental of others. It means I look at others with compassion and grace, the way Jesus looks at me. When I know I am in that space, of having a pure heart, I am willing to connect and understand others. Robin Johnson, my mentor and coaching instructor, wrote a book titled "The Heart of the Gospel," which beautifully describes the five states of the heart. Here are the descriptions of the five hearts:A Hardened Heart - is a heart of anger, hate, malice, pride, animosity, judgment, absence of love, and hurting others.A Broken Heart - A heart of grief, sadness, wounded, anguished, depressed, lonely, heavy and in pain.A Disconnected Heart - A heart of numbness, fear, emotionlessness, pain avoidance, apathy, and no passion for life.A Faint Heart - is weary from life's challenges, depleted, disheartened, hopeless, exhausted. A Pure Heart - is the Heart of Christ, a heart in a state of oneness: One with self, God, and humanity. It is a heart of charity, grace, forgiveness, compassion, joy, and acceptance. In closing of the message, I share one of my compositions, "In My Heart."www.kasiasmusic.comwww.kasiasfaithjourney.comhttps://www.facebook.com/kasiasfaithjourney/
