expressing your heart

Expressing your heart can simply be the greatest pleasure and fulfillment there is!

But I have a confession to make to you…. for many years I did not know how to express my heart. As a result a deep frustration brewed inside me,  because I knew there was something that wanted to come out, I just didn’t know how to get it out.  So all the glorious beauty of the heart lay  dormant and frozen within me.

This was a quiet time that bordered on total isolation.  This was also a time when I began marinating in the desire to know my heart and develop the ability to express it.

Have you ever felt there was something wonderful inside you, but you just didn’t know how to express it?

Well, I certainly have experienced that!

Over the past couple of years, as you may have witnessed through the happenings in this weekly newsletter,
a lot has been happening for me, including media attention, award nominations, and incredible opportunities.

When I reflect back on what turned it around, wondering how did I go from being blocked up and frustrated
to flowing and sharing my creativity with others?

I can honestly tell you that everything that has happened is in direct proportion to my ability to know and express my heart. The more I know my heart and trust it enough to express it amazing things unfold.

The more my inner world is filled with love the more my outer world reflects things that bring me joy.

So if you are wanting more joy and fulfillment in your life, look to the roots of the joy and I’ll bet you’ll find it in your ability to know your heart and express it.

how your soul speaks to you

Friday, June 27th, 2008

SOUL ART piece created by UNA WEST. Una was one of Laura Hollick’s first students. She was in the very first SOUL ART workshop back in 1999.  Una continues to create SOUL ART today, this piece was created in 2008.

Have you ever wondered ‘HOW’ your soul speaks to you?

With so much talk about soul, spirit, connecting with yourself, intuition, and listening to your inner voice…
What on earth does this really mean!? And, how can you get this working for you?

Before we even talk about ‘HOW’ your soul speaks with you, let’s figure out the value there is in being able to receive communication from your soul. There would be no point spending time figuring out ‘HOW’ your soul speaks, if it didn’t hold any value for you.

I would like you to imagine a situation in your life where you need to make a decision about something. You could potentially go one way or the other. Would you want to know what decision would guide you to your fullest potential and deepest joy? Or would you like to bumble around in confusion?

When you are able to hear your soul speak then you are able to receive nudges leading you to your fullest potential. Decisions become pathways to a rich meaningful life. Do you think that is valuable?

If you do, keep reading and I will teach you ‘HOW’ to hear your soul speak.

SOUL SPEAK

To hear your soul speak, you need to know what it feels like when you are not hearing your soul, this will give you a clear understanding of the difference.

When you are not listening to your soul, this is what you will most likely experience…. confusion, frustration, feeling stifled, anger, bitter, resentful, constricted, afraid, desperate, etc…

Surely you have felt one or more of these emotions, I know I have!
When you do feel these, they are indicators to put your soul ears on and listen up, because somehow you’ve gotten off track. This is not a bad thing, this is like your own personal GPS, letting you know
you are going in the wrong direction.

Knowing when you are going in the wrong direction is the first step to being able to listen. Let’s not underestimate the value of this, it is important to know what it feels like to go in the direction away from your soul, because then when you move towards your soul, you will recognize the feeling with greater clarity.

The next step to hearing your soul speak is becoming familiar with your own sense of joy, peace, fulfillment, and expansion. The more familiar you become with the way these emotions feel within your body, the more familiar you will become with your soul.

Listening to your soul becomes an act of finding those feelings wherever you are. Not to be confused with imposing these feelings upon yourself, but truly finding them within yourself.

TRY THIS RIGHT NOW
recall a time when you felt deeply fulfilled, and I mean deeply fulfilled! Notice how you feel in your body.

This is your soul speaking!

This week really take notice of how you feel, are you listening to your soul or are you moving away
from your soul?
