Welcome to Wisdom of the Heart. This is the third meditation in the Bridge series, brought to you by Picture Love Podcast. First, we accepted the invitation to step forward, to bridge from what we know to willingness to remember what we once knew. We remembered our breath, our connection to life through our physical bodies. We let our minds take a rest, a respite, as we found the stillness to begin to hear our hearts. And now as we continue to listen to our hearts, let's get curious about how it can honor and partner with our minds. They don't need to be in conflict. Let's reconnect the heart with the mind and live in harmony within our own selves so that we can be that harmony in our outside lives. Let this process ride on your breath with me. If you haven't already, make sure you are seated with your back supported and your feet flat on the floor or the ground, and find yourself with enough comfort that if you closed your eyes, you would stay balanced and supported. This little break is a gift you're giving yourself. Thank you for sharing this time with me. As I lead us further across this bridge, you are here by your own choice. You are here for your own purpose. You are here for your highest and best good. And if that highest and best good means receiving the gift of Reiki, you can set the intention right now to receive that as I will be offering it throughout the duration of this time together As you ride your breath, fill it up. Take a deep, beautiful breath, as deep as feels good to you. Pause at the top for just a moment, and let it out slowly as your body continues to settle into your seat and into your balance And whether you're taking intentional deep breaths with me and letting go of any tension that may have crept in without your realizing, or maybe you did realize Trust that the Reiki is flowing for those who chose, and trust that your breath is going to continue on. And think of it like the wind, like a bird, like an eagle. Wings spread, sailing in the wind. Your breath is that wind inside your body, and it's going to help us travel through this journey together Perhaps take another deep breath, finish setting your intention for this time, and let's make this the moment where we remember our head and our heart came together and brought us peace that we can continue to discover and be curious and grow in our best possible way, in the way that is most authentic to you. Outside of programs, there's nothing wrong. There's no right or wrong. It's just your presence. This is your time I invite you to let your imagination free. Let your imagination be respected like we did when we were young children That imagination lets us imagine colors in our breath, colors in the wind, colors and sounds and temperatures that feel the best to our body. If you're feeling hot right now, let your imagination bring in a cool breeze. If you're feeling at all cold, imagine a warm blanket like it just came out of the dryer to wrap the parts of you that need to take the chill away When your body is fully relaxed and you are fully settled into your seat, I invite you to ask your heart, what is it ready to reveal to you today? Place a hand over your heart. Feel the pulse travel throughout your limbs. Your hands, your feet. Can you feel it, not just hear it in your ears? Your heart is so faithful. It's doing its job to circulate, to nourish, to support It's always working whether we pay attention or not. So give it a little thanks And your imagination. Is your mind relaxed in a state of no judgment? Just play and wonder And imagine with me a beautiful golden light streaming from up above. Perhaps it's the sunlight streaming through your mind, filling your eyes with beautiful visions Coating your throat with soothing words and love and tones that feel good in your existence. And that gold is playing through your shoulders and melting anything that does not serve. That gold is filling your lungs with joy, the breath of life. Filling your heart with radiance that just makes your- that celebrates the beauty of the wisdom of your heart And that golden light spreads through your arms that hold space for everything you care about and hold dear. The gold spreads through your chest, through your waist, through your spine that holds you upright and gives you strength to face each day. That golden light spreads through your hips that hold so many memories Through your front, through your back, down your legs. May you walk, run Move with golden light streaming throughout, and that light goes straight through the soles of your feet into the Earth, spreading nourishing love and exchanging that energy with the Earth that holds us up so faithfully And as your imagination keeps the current of gold and light flowing through you, your heart begins to sing Your heart is full of beautiful song, beautiful love that connects you to the universe The songs of the whales, the songs of the stars, the songs in nurseries, the songs in your mind. Let that music sing beautiful golden frequencies throughout your imagination and through your heart When was the last time you sang a song using your voice and your head and your heart? What song comes to mind right now? That might keep you company on a ride or in the shower, or throughout your mind and your day What music is waiting to make a soundtrack in your heart and in your mind and keeping you all connected? That song is truth. That song is connection That song is love That song supports you just like the earth beneath your feet and the sky above your head Maybe hum a tune. Hum a bar or two And if a song is not coming to mind, ask your heart to present you one with li- Ask your heart to suggest a song. Or maybe just start toning just because If your imagination needs a little support, imagine holding a baby. They don't care if you have perfect pitch. They just want the resonance of your voice Soothe that babe in your own heart right now with the memory of that voice in your ear Like holding somebody you love as they speak and you feel the vibrations through their ears, through your ears. Whether you understood their words or not, it wasn't about the words, it was about the resonance Let that music create more connections between your head and your heart. That's your soul song. It's inside of you. It is you Invite that soul song to present itself to you through your day and your dreams And with every breath, receive the gratitude of that belonging and that connection And if you start to feel lost or find yourself up in your head again throughout the day Put your hand on your heart and hum a bar and feel the vibration in your body. The reminder that we are all pieces of one One universe, one creation, a spirit of love And when your surroundings feel chaotic or disconnected, all you have to do is go within and feel that heartbeat, feel the resonance in your voice, hear it, know it Listen to the birds as they chirp early and late. They always have a song, and nobody ever judges the pitch. Is it good enough? That's irrelevant The resonance in you is as beautiful as the most beautiful songbird sings Now sit with your song for just a few moments and let it echo in your heart There's no need to ask for answers. There's no need to know all. Just ask your heart for the truth in this moment, and know that's always enough And the next time you feel like your head is so disconnected from your body Go inward. Put a hand on your heart. Maybe hum a tone, maybe sing a song, maybe get still and listen for a bird in the distance. Let the song of life bring you back to yourself. No matter where you are in the world, you are never lost as long as you can go within I invite you to gently start to move your head from side to side Move your fingers, move your toes Take a nice deep, full breath And as you let it out, maybe hum a bar or two, but let that air out with gratitude and joy. Gratitude that your head and your heart, your imagination are all pieces of your beautiful self. This life is a gift, but it's only a piece of who we really are. So let's appreciate each little moment and find the joy in every opportunity. I will catch you in the next meditation of the Bridge Series. Keep Picturing Love, friends. Bye-bye for now
