Clarity in a Heart Centered Business!

You are at the heart of your business!

Did you know you are at the heart of everything related to you ?

What I hope by suggesting you think into this deep question, is to discover you might not be fully aware of the power of your heartspace, in all things and then the power you have to change what no longer serves you, and your heart.

Whether you know it or not, your heart space influences your personal life and your professional life alike, so therefore, impacts all relationships.

Over the years I have worked with many people who were stuck in their business growth and could not figure out the magic WHY?

I've known the brightest, most talented, intelligent, caring, creative, adventerous and resilient business people come to a halt in their business desires and developments because of a not so little thing called heartspace. A disconnected heartspace to be exact !

This does not mean people were cold, unloving or uncaring towards others, no, infact it often means they were forgetful of loving and caring for themselves as a priority or even in equal measure of others. Alarmingly, over and again it was evident that people did not know they could even be a priority in their own lives!

This translated to their personal business of lacking self love, value, worth, approval or acknowledgment of their heart's desire, negatively impacting their growth in professional business, they were stuck!

How does this happen?

It all begins with the stories we learned about Who we were told to Be, by those we loved first - our family. Then this develops over time to the stories we learned from our society, shaping the stories we tell ouselves... about our self, others and life in general.

We create the story of us, our own reference book, with the rules of life. Then go forward with this collection of good or bad memories and experiences stored in our brain through long term memory and emotional networks, and even within the cells of our body, ready to recall at a moments notice to defend our heart.

We create our reality based on the past and that in itself is the illusion !

We are operating with a kalidescope lens of being stuck in the past. So, how can we be clear to then grow personally or professionally with our authentic heart at the centre of our business with this distorted view?

The tricky part is when those experiences are stressful, trauma based and or accumulative, they become a part of our defensive person and influence our projected personality. We become lost or disconnected from our true authentic self, as we evolve into a fearful, anxious, doubting self. This means we are operating from a survival version of ourselves.

The ripple effect goes like this;

A stressful or negative thought becomes a stressful or uncomfortable emotion, which creates a stimulus response of biochemistry in our body.

If we live life through the multiple wounded lens of the past, we create a distorted reality and this in turn effects our peace of mind and heart which ultimatley becomes our physiology.

For example when we circle around in our minds with those intruding memories and thoughts, we are often trying to seek a solution for the stress point - to avoid a repeat event, offense, hurt or harm.

If a significant event changed our perception and view of self and we judged and concluded that we cannot change, and are defined by that event, then we are stuck!

Our mind is busy looking through all possible alternative outcomes of the, would of, could of, should of parts of our past accumulative story to resolve something that has already happened in the past.

Clearly, this is not a place of being Present to our self or to life having Clarity for the way forward.

What we are really creating is a continuous loop for self harm. We get lost and further disconnected from our heart centered space, which is inherently knowing of Peace, Joy, Love, Grace and Gratitude.

We start to Over Think, creating further chaos within - our mind earnestly believes it is in charge of our survival. The mind goes into an automatic overdrive as we operate more and more from an unconscious and distracted mindset.

A classic example to demonstrate this automation is how we may drive to work each and every day, taking the same route, driving like a robot, some would joke the car is on auto pilot. The reality is we have no recollection of how we got to our destination, proving we are operating from an unconscious automation to the experience of driving to work, and we are the ones on auto pilot not the car.

Our minds default motivation to survive is playing out our unconscious rules of life, a personalised defense plan to protect our heart from being hurt. By utilising our evolving survival programs imbed in our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual patterns, we are living a defensive/reactive life.

Ultimately, we create disconnected relationships with self and others, which are not authentic to our Being and purpose.

How do we Change this Mindset and create a Heart Centered Business?

First step, is to believe you can change your mind and emotional state.

To move beyond your survival programs, is to break free of your stuck past.

The key is to ask What would Love Do ?

This may open an internal door way to discover the wisdom of your own heart and soul, to allow love, compassion and kindness for self and others to understand Who you are, Who are you Being and What is your Purpose, and What is Your Heart Centered Business.

Allowing your heart to be heard, expressed requires some Practice and Support.

Gaining Clarity and Understanding of Your Story brings the unconscious behaviours, attitudes, beliefs, and survival conditioning patterns into the open - into your awareness.

Awareness allows you to make Choices!

Developing Tools to regulate a Response, instead of a Reaction is also a Choice - this allows Transformation.

Transformation comes with having all the information available to you, so you can make choices to change what no longer serves you, and your heart.

Meditation is a pathway to change, what we change we heal, when we heal we are growing in peace, love, joy, gratitude, grace and love, we are accepting of our self - We are whole!

When we are Whole, we are Free! To BE - Heart Centered in our Business!
