In our last article ‘How do you listen to your heart?’, we learned to listen to our heart which is a great first step on our way to trusting ourselves. But how do we learn to trust our heart: that voice within that whispers improbable words of truth?
By opening ourselves to our own heart, by listening to it, we have created a big pathway to trust our intrinsic nature: Love.
Imagine for a minute! All that which you are opening to are messages, ideas, and information coming from your deepest and most sacred place; that most benevolent part of you which loves you infinitely, unconditionally: your Heart.
From that viewpoint, the next question will then happen to be: how come I do not trust my own heart? Who am I not to trust Love?
Lost in the realm of actions and reactions, of extended identification to the actors of our reality, we do not believe anymore that we can feel love, that we can be love, let alone fall in love with ourselves. The latter would be unthinkable! Therefore, oblivious to our own self, we carry on our daily lives like a sailing boat without helm.
Second step: Trusting
The second step toward our selves is to let it happen. Let go of difficulties, the How-To’s, the techniques and enter a world of ease where all your love shows you the way toward yourself, where no effort is needed, no thoughts, but to feel yourself again and witness, with bliss, your reality unfold.
You then enter the realm of the ever present, the famous “now moment”: when you are fully aware of yourself, now, without the filters and beliefs systems coming from your past or projections to your future.
Then, we accept that whatever our heart sends us is always the very best. We trust that all that we hear, receive, attract in our world is the purest expression of love… for ourselves. And within that love, we will grow and have fun like children in their mother’s embraces.
What was an unshakable concept, when we were children, has been forgotten by being in contact with our daily lives. It is time now to unwind these illusive beliefs and fall in love again with our reality, with our selves… and have fun again!
and I could not resist to add another song:
So true what you have written. But I have on issue, bi-polar, healing from addiction (two years now), and severe near fatal eating disorder. All are long in check, as I faced my primal fears from less than 1 year of age (it came to me while in prayer)…the root cause of my afflictions could be traced with a relatively high degree of certainty…this fear was expressed through continuous theme of nightmares until age 48..the recovery processes of the above mentioned occurred nearly simultaneously, and then began the exploration into my self..which in the most primal mode, according to Freud, is the ID..which is of which you are writing. That stage before conscious awareness…where I was already damaged, scarred. Flood gates of information came in, and I find myself going to that beyond the universe as well, from one extreme to the other before the light of day..in prayer, meditation, and music (very helpful). It’s as if all I lost 33 years ago is coming back so fast compiled upon that which was lost during the most dis-eased years compounded…in abundance. But what do I do with it now? I am putting some things into action at a gentle pace, do not put the cart before the horse. The masks are difficult, because the bi-polar portion leaves me to distrust what either is or isn’t that within my heart. However, that too seems to be healing. I have not been depressed ‘truly’ in two years now…only hypomanic, or that simply, excitement!
In truth, we are all by definition multi-polar. Unfortunately, usually we do not perceive it and let many voices speak in our stead. You are lucky to have identified yours! 🙂
You have chosen a path, at some point in your life, where you would incarnate two polarities (bi-polar), two energy paths through which you experience yourself. As exposed in this article, even in these circumstances we need to accept ourselves, fully and therefore be at peace with oneself.
From your comment I can see you are already on that path toward mending and blending these formerly distinct energy paths into one single voice: the one of simplicity and love, love of yourself and the “others”. By trusting that you will without a doubt be able to experience your voice of unity, by trusting that you and your reality will lead you without fail to this state of bliss, you should let go and …. enjoy the ride.

Hi, I did not realize this reply was written until today on Sept 27 (a special number as well). Thank you for your reply. All is well, and your are correct. I am on an exodus of a New Kind, no longer in the desert most of the time. I’ll leave it short, but do want to thank you for replying. All meds have been dropped, all nightmares gone, new music, barely any TV..eliminating the poisons from my life..could say, I’ve detoxing the soul on a daily basis. Peace be with you.
@chaser27 Such a great news! Thank you very much for letting us know. Keep us posted on your journey 😉
Hi Arnaud,
Very good post. We all need to listen to our heart and love ourselves. Letting go of the past so very important.
One thing that I like to remember is that not everyone is going to like you and that is OK! Just be the best you can be and realize that everyone does make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and go forward with a smile.
Thank you for the reminder to love ourselves. And the music was a great addition to the post.
