Tune in to the wisdom of your heart.

Did you know that your heart and its magnetic radiance can be measured one metre outside of your body?
Before you enter a room, your heart enters before you. People feel you and get a sense of you before they even see you.
Your heart radius, that radiating magnetic field that it creates is 100 times stronger than that of your brain.
Curious, yes? Yet when I ask leaders, “Do you lead with the head or the heart, or both?”I usually get about 40% of the room, say with their head, another mixture with both, and a little less with the heart.
Regardless of whether we see our heart as dominant as a function in the body, it is.
As you wake up each morning, dip your head and share some gratitude. Just think, “Thank you” to your heart because whilst you've been asleep, your heart's been beating for you.
It's been working all night and you didn't have to do anything about it.?
This dear vessel, our heart, is so powerful. Not only does it pump lifeforce blood around our body, it also allows us to love.?
It allows us to be expansive and open. It helps us show love. It allows us to experience and feel things.?
The power of our heart can never be underestimated.
Yet our cultures and societies often put the head ahead of the heart.?
When you get up in the morning, tune in, turn on, tap into your heart, ask, “What are you telling me today?”

“What am I grateful for? Who would I like to send love and blessings out to?”
Sounds a little woo woo? There's also scientific research, especially around the Power of Eight that shows that the magic number is about eight people.
That you don't get the same effect with less people, but you don't really need more than that.?
Isn't that a blessing? That you only need about eight people and eight people together focused on something?
Sending healing to someone, sending peace, sending love. When eight people do that, it has an incredibly powerful impact and effect.
Just eight people consciously pouring their attention into something good together can transform a city, a town, a person's health, and in fact the world.
Today, may you find your heart full of gratitude, and perhaps as you go through your day meeting with others, even if it's just at the local shop, notice when you feel their heart and feel yours respond.
How close can you get to someone before you start to feel them? Is it with your eyes when you see their smile? Or do you feel their presence before you even see that? You'll know what I mean. If someone walks up next to you and you haven't actually turned and seen them yet, you can literally tune in and feel them first.
May your heart lead the way today. May you bow the wisdom of your head to the wisdom of your heart.
