The other day I had a long dinner with a good friend. We shared from the heart and got really vulnerable with each other.

It left such a beautiful vibration in my heart to go soul-to-soul…

And it made me realize how blocked emotionally we often tend to be when we engage with each other.

With Venus, the planet of Love, in retrograde, we are being prompted more than ever to feel, act and speak from the heart.

We’re taught from childhood to favor our HEAD at the expense of our HEART.

When asked, “how are you doing”, we usually have the auto-answer, “fine” or “good”. Followed by “how are you?”

Sometimes we do feel good, yes – yet there are a myriad of other ways to describe feelings. Answering “fine” or “good” is usually just a way of stopping the question from entering your heart for a REAL communication of souls.

Your soul is always yearning to share!

You’re an emotional being.

You are pure feeling.

You are a sensual, sensitive being.

So, one way to translate, “how are you?” is to move the question into your heart center and ask yourself, “how am I FEELING?”

Do this with others as well. Ask them, “How are you feeling?”

Whether they choose to answer from the heart or not is not your responsibility, but you know you ASKED from the heart.

And when YOU answer from the heart, something magical happens. You extend your soul and open the gateway into caring, kindness and love – Heart-centered communication.

If you don’t feel, you’ll never understand what you need.

So, if you’re feeling crappy or depressed, don’t hold that in! Share it with someone! Don’t judge it! (And don’t judge others when they are vulnerable with you.)

Guess what happens when you share your feelings.

They get processed!

They have a way to be expressed! Expression is your natural state… you are a sentient, living being. You were never meant to hold things in. You’re meant to assimilate, experience, share, and release – constantly.

You aren’t here to accumulate, but to awaken.

Call yourself a feeling, sentient being.

Once the feeling is expressed and shared, it can be addressed!

On the other hand, if you use logic as a guide, instead of allowing your feelings to guide you, you pull further and further away from source.

Stop burying your feelings. Share them.

Don’t think about the consequences. Allow yourself to feel vulnerable and REAL.

Your logical mind will say – that’s crazy, what if I only focus on how “bad” I feel?

The logical mind cannot grasp how sharing your feelings, not sweeping them under the rug, will FREE you up! If you bottle up your feelings, because you don’t think it’s “appropriate”, or you are embarrassed to look at a decision or question as a feeling, sentient being – you are magnifying their effect on you.

Engage your SOUL in your day.

Engage it with every fiber of your being!

Ask others not “how are you doing?” or “what’s up?”. Rather, “how are you feeling?”

So, how are you feeling?

Take a moment.

Not to think…

Many Blessings and Love,

Tania
