From Head to Heart

From Head to Heart, how Do You Do that?

Good question! Moving from head to heart. The nice thing is you don’t have to choose either/or, it can also be both/and. Let your heart guide you, so your gut feels and your head knows what it can do. It sounds so simple, and actually, it is. Before I could reach this stage of surrender and embrace the fear of the unknown, I did quite a bit of inner work. Just like an onion, it’s really peeling layers. Sometimes a tear flows, and you usually don’t know in advance what you will encounter and what the impact of that layer will be. In any case, the intention for growth is always good, but growth sometimes also needs rest. When you plant a seed, it doesn’t become a blooming flower the next day. Many of us no longer even know what rest and silence are. The “normal” life consumes many of us. Jobs with 40-hour workweeks are often the norm. We are on 24/7 because of our phones. The weekend is crammed with obligatory activities, leaving little room for spontaneity, play, and rest. Believe me, even if you now think: ‘Yes, nice, Nancy, but this is just how it is.’ Yes, you’re right, it is and was like this. What if I tell you it doesn’t have to stay this way? The largest group of people will respond: ‘Yes, and what about the money? We still have to eat and buy things.’
