Setting New Baselines of Love and Connection

Would you build a bridge of connection of Love with Yourself, Others, and the World if you could? If you knew how?

I believe that just as the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. When applied to the heart and emotions, we can set new baselines of love and connection, not only to oneself, also to others, the planet, and our divine connection.

I believe that we are able to emotional rewire our heart. We can retrain ourselves by connecting to greater love and compassion. I believe that self awareness practices helps us identify old emotional patters and replcing them with healthier ones. Mothering ourselves and fathering ourselves, is a term that defines the energy within us to love ourselves, the mother in us provides loves ad an emotional container for ourselves while the father empower us and protects us. These two energies, I believe are ones that are crucial for the development of new love connections within ourselves. This is something I speak in the book that I wrote The Way of the Heart.

For most of our life we had been taught that the mind, our intelligence is the most important thing. We have slowly separated ourselves from our bodies and our emotions, and live a life mainly from our heads, from our mental structures so much that we begin to think our emotions instead of feeling them. now with the evolution of technology and social media, there more of a need to return to our hearts and our bodies. to be fully embodied.

When your brain, your heart, and your gut is in alignment, meaning working in unity, love, and cooperation with ne another there is a natural flow in you, coherence. in coaching this alignment is that what you say and think is aligned, with how you feel, in heart and gut / body responses.

Setting a New Bridge of Connection to Love
Self Love is a word highly used and let me tell you that it is one that I am still understanding and learning. I believe I will continue to learn the meaning of self love throughout my life. In 2012 I had a mystical experience during a holotropic breathing workshop, were I was in a deep state of oneness, grace, and stillness. I did not see suffering, I only saw and knew love in me and all. During these time, I said to myself “I want to find a way, a path to this state so I can share it to the world”. This magnificent and terrifying journey began, without really knowing, of transformation, challenge, dark nights of the soul, through it all I kept coming back to the heart as a gateway to the divine.
So let me ask you, what is the meaning of self love to you? For me is constantly asking myself what would love do? what is right and true for me in this moment? and acting in alignment to that.

Acceptance is key, because so often I have found myself fighting against my own truth and my own emotions. Have you experience that before? That you find fighting against yourself? Of course we have been taught to ignore our emotions, “don’t cry” , “be strong”, “why are you so loud?”, “Don’t whine”… and the list can go on. Imagine a child listening to the teachings of No, then you begin to understand that it is not okay to cry, not okay to feel, and so you live your life not feeling, running away from your emotions, not understanding them, that they are the language of your Soul, messengers, and what actually invites you to move and create in your life. When you block one emotion, you are blocking all of them.
Acceptance and becoming aware of how you are being with yourself is key.

So let me teach you what you can begin to do to set a new bridge of connection to love by acknowledging and giving space to your emotions.
First you want to become aware what is the emotion you are feeling, fear, love, anxiety, frustration, what is it?
Once you identify the emotion, name it. “Oh I am feeling sad”.
Great now. You are going to make the courageous act to stop fighting against your sadness, or denying it, or numbing it.
How you may ask? Simple you give yourself permission to feel sad.
Okay I am sad. Yes!!! see how the moment you acknoelwedge tyour body relaxes?
This is a magnificent sign. We all want to feel seen and acknowledged your emotions and your body too.
Now that you accepted. Give yourself permission to live your emotion. Take a few deep breaths and feel your sadness.
without going to a story, because that is when you leave your body and move to your mind.
If that happens return to your breath. Maybe speak to your mind outloud, assuring your mind that it is okay to feel this sadness.
Tears may begin to flow right now, this is amazing!!
Tears are the naturally healing your body. So let them flow.
When the flow of tears naturally ends, give thanks to your sadness.
Feel appreciation.
You will begin to notice that you begin to build a bridge of conneciton with your emotions, your heart.
You might feel at this time a profound sense of love within you and around you starting to grow and blososm.

This is your practice to start building new bridges of conneciton.
Take a moment 5 minutes of your day to check in and notice, how am I feeling?
Do I need space right now to feel into this?
And give it to yourself.

You will begin to see that the more you give yourself permission to feel and live your emotions, the more safe you will feel in your body. A connection with yourself will begin to deepen, and from the deepening in you, naturally you will feel closer to others, the world around you, nature, and the divine.

Embrace this transformation of love!
