Start with the Heart!

"A flower that does not blossom has no fragrance. And a human's heart that does not blossom has no God".
- Yogi Bhajan

Every thing starts with the heart. We can try and try to work around it, protect it, avoid it or ignore it but this quote says it all. With out a blossoming open heart you will never find the ecstasy or the joy you seek.

The heart is the first muscle in the body to develop in utero. Everything else in the human body is built around the heart. It is the core and center of our beings. And yet, often the only time we think of using it is when we are in "love" or it is"broken". The rest of our lives are run with the mind. We make decisions with the mind, we plan with the mind, we set goals and visions all with the mind. And time and time again we end up at the same dead end - unhappy and empty. So today we are going to make a new declaration!

As yogis we are on a path to find our TRUTH. My question is, when are you going to find it? Are you going to stay with this practice for 10 years and still be looking? Let me tell you a secret, it's not lost... it's right inside of you living in your heart! It's just a matter of accessing it.

So please let us not call ourselves Seekers any more but rather Knowers of our own truth. Let us blossom our hearts so that we find our Gods within.

If you are not sure how to do this, start with waking up every morning and thanking the Universe for your breath today! Make a commitment to live this day from your heart and see what happens... Do not think about tomorrow, just start with today. Remember we are not seeking we just need to practice going back to our true nature, our hearts.  Once you are truly in your heart all else will melt away, pain, sadness, hurt, anger... You don't need to try to get over anything or forgive anyone, once your in your heart center there is no choice or effort it all just happens.

Please stop living in the waiting room, wake up NOW! You deserve it!

May love and Light shine bright in you today! Sat Nam.
