Learn how to be the best gatekeeper of your heart

Do you feel the pathway open between your mind and your heart? Are you someone who lets others into your heart space easily? What does it take for you to feel open and vulnerable enough to “let someone in”, and to let new ideas in? I think that we often think of this concept in the framework of romantic love, but what about all of the other myriad of relationships and experiences that we navigate constantly? How can you keep your mind working as the ideal gatekeeper, effectively curating what you choose to let into your heart??

"The mind is the front door to the heart" suggests that our thoughts, beliefs, and mental states are crucial in accessing and understanding our emotions, feelings, and innermost desires. It implies that the mind acts as a gateway or entry point to the heart, meaning that by understanding and managing our thoughts, we can better connect with and understand our emotions. The mind and the heart function best when they share complementary sentiments, ones that serve your highest good.

We all know about muscle memory. To further illustrate the body’s incredible record-keeping abilities, every single experience, from physical and emotional trauma to the visceral feeling of your first reciprocated crush, is documented by your body on a cellular level. These experiences and feelings are literally embedded in you like a hard drive in a computer. As always, I am here to help you become aware of your programming and give you strategies to create new pathways and openings to get you to where you want to go.

For many of us, we don’t spend enough time in our heart-space ourselves, therefore of course it makes it challenging to discern who and what to let into it. Once we begin exploring, we may discover hidden compartments filled with memories and dreams perhaps long forgotten. We may find things that delight us, things that disappoint us, things that help us to make sense of who we have become and why we made our choices, and all that is in between. As I spoke of above, they say that the mind can forget, but the body remembers everything.?

So begin to take some intentional time exploring; your thoughts, your points of access, your beliefs that tell you who and what to open your heart to. And again, let’s steer clear of the narrative that the heart is primarily an organ of romance (besides its physical functions). Trust me, I am a big fan of romance and its matters of the heart, but here we are going to be focusing on its functions and efforts outside of that form of passion. I want you to become familiar with the emotional workings of your heart from the standpoint of: what do you love? What, as the saying goes, sets your heart on fire? What makes your heart ache to change about the world? What inner knockings can you finally hear when you are listening to your heart in this way??

Pain and an upset mind directly affect our hearts. When X-rays have been taken, of the hearts of people who suddenly heard bad news, the main heart chamber shifts dramatically, inflating and clearly exhibiting cellular duress, immediately. If emotional pain is sustained over time, it puts the heart under a severe amount of strain and can lead to a host of diseases and even be fatal. Depression and prolonged sadness literally take a physical toll on our hearts. In the well-known book, Memoirs of a Geisha, the author quotes: "The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains."? There are documented deaths historically, where the common belief was that a person died of a broken heart.?

Ok, now not to get too dark, because I imagine that most of you are nowhere near in danger of being this negatively affected by the information, thoughts, and beliefs that you are moving from your mind into your heart. But I imagine that many of you do feel like you have blocks and some things in your life that keep appearing in one form or another, when they are not what you want to experience.?

I suggest taking the time to traverse a new neural pathway into your heart. If you take the time to align with who you really are and then think about your business, if you take the time to align with who you really are and then think about literally anything in your life, from your world view to small details, you will feel a new level of resonance. This deeper level of alignment with self will bring you peace of mind in new ways, and open up opportunities for you that you could not have access to when you were working from self-limiting beliefs and ideas that are not aligned with your truest self.

One of my many goals is to help you find the way from your mind to the Front Door of Your Heart. Create integration between the two, based upon values stemming from who you were before you adopted some self-limiting habits and beliefs. I like to think of it as a Grayt Unfolding, the ways that we find our ways back to ourselves.?

Your mind is loud, but your heart also has lots to tell you. It feels emotions so viscerally because it has layered methods of interpreting information. Our mind needs to consistently be examined, as the pathways and doorway between it and the heart should be adorned with thoughts and beliefs that will propel you in the directions that you truly want to go. As always, I am your eager guide on the journey. I’m so excited for my documentary to reach the public soon, helping everyone to harness the power of the quantum world, something your heart is already familiar with, and it’s time for your mind to catch up.

Enjoy your own Grayt Unfolding! As a culture, we are so results-driven, but with your neural pathways and sustainable changes, slowly but surely is a wonderful pace!
