Last month I attended a spiritual retreat called ‘Journey to the light’

It was a week of self reflection and thought and I did set an intention at the beginning of the retreat to integrate my heart and my head.

What became clear to me was that my head was constantly in the past and the future; very seldom in the present moment. So if I set intention/goals and left it to the power of the Universe/God to show me the way, I would have to be in the present moment most of the time so that I would be able to listen to my inner voice and be guided towards my goals by the universe.

This would mean that I would have to be listening to my inner knowing/my inner voice most of the time, which of course then means that I will have to be in my heart and not my head.

So my intention to integrate my heart and my head has been fulfilled is now have the answer. Live in the now!

Namaste

    Great article!

    The art of living fully in the moment is one that requires perseverance, mindfulness, awareness and a willingness to look at old things in new ways. Or perhaps more accurately; a willingness to let go of certain things. The past for example. And possibly, a few less-than-desirable habits. Beliefs. Fears. Attitudes. Many people have shared with me that, while they understand the theory of consciousness, enlightenment, inner calm and a place beyond thought, they struggle to “go there” on a regular basis; which is totally understandable when you consider that many of us have inhabited a type of internal chaos – anxiety, fear, self-doubt, self-sabotage (all a result of over-thinking) – for as long as we can remember.

    Naturally, we ain’t gonna undo decades of internal mayhem in five minutes. And that’s not even factoring in our external world, which is regularly bordering on sensory over-load. Learning to live in the moment while simultaneously not wasting emotional energy on a past we can’t change or aspects of a future that are largely beyond our control, is not always a cakewalk –but definitely worth pursuing.
