I’ve heard quite a few people venting angrily this year – about people, politics, masks, no masks, wanting to get on with life, the news, the lack of news, the current president, the former president, old friends turned judgmental, family members trying to impose their will or family member who won’t let others impose their will… you name it. I joked with a friend that “the flood of love that came onto the planet mid-February is blowing the lids off the sewers and we’re all getting cleaned out!” It’s pretty hard to hold things inside these days. It is a time or purging the old according to the angel who comes through my friend – trance medium Summer Bacon.
The angels once said to me, “Ann your greatest complaints lead to your greatest purpose. Your greatest upsets can lead to your greatest service.” I took that to heart. Over two decades ago people used to look at me like I was a freak when I said I talked to angels. So, I started teaching others to do the same. I wanted to share the joy of it, rather than having people share their disbelief with me! Years later, teaching my “Dancing with Angels” class has become a delight. Last year when I couldn’t teach it, the heart’s guidance was to simply go there in spirit – to imagine us all gathering again, hugging, celebrating our well-being, and being happy. So, I did.
This year, even though the world is still doing a pandemic, my guidance said, “go for it.” I scheduled the live class. I had no attachment to, and no idea how many people would show up. I only knew I wanted to offer a light-filled, fun, high-vibe gathering. Ends up a roomful of amazing souls people came together in joy, love, and celebration, and we had a light party with the angels. Two people had Jesus show up for them. Mary came to another beautiful soul. We were swimming in angel energy! Deceased relatives showed up. A wonderful man who said he’d been an introvert his whole life was doing readings for others! I was in humble awe and absolute bliss.
It is easy to listen to your heart when you feel good. It is much harder when you’re upset. Nonetheless, every time you ask, “What would my loving heart do?” you’ll get a good answer. Big bill. “What would my loving heart do?” “Give it to God and enjoy your day.” Someone unloads on me, “What would my loving heart do?” “Be kind to myself and pray for their joy.” Someone cuts me off in traffic. “What would my loving heart do.” “Bless them and pray for us all to be safe.” I forgot to pay my tax privilege license taxes for the first quarter and instead of a $10 bill, I’ll have a $60 one. “What would my loving heart do?” Pay the penalty and bless whatever civil program needs the money. The list goes on.
Life is ripe with challenges, and there are plenty of opportunities to feel bad, however, your loving heart always knows how to find the opportunities to feel good, to raise your vibe, and thus to attract what you really want.
Here are a few pointers to let your loving heart guide you…
1. Love yourself where you’re at
First and foremost, love yourself where you’re at. If you’re sad, it’s OK to be sad. If you’re upset tell yourself it’s OK to be upset. If you’re jealous tell yourself it’s OK to be jealous. Give yourself a hug. Be kind to yourself. You don’t want to stay stuck in those spaces of course but make it OK to be where you are at now, and who you are right now.
You can’t calm a screaming or upset child by telling them to “get over it” or “cut it out.” Far better to hug them, give them a loving timeout, or soothe them before you try to shift their mood. Likewise, it is much easier to shift out of a negative space once you’ve loved and accepted yourself in it.
“I am who I am,” is one of the many names of God. Adopt it regularly and add a little qualifier to the end. I am who I am in this moment, even as I expand into greater awareness.
2. Ask yourself, “What would my loving heart recommend?”
Adding the qualifier my “loving” heart makes a huge difference. It reminds us we have a loving heart even when we’re not feeling it. Simply having the intention to tune into your loving, sacred heart connects you with its wisdom. Words chosen consciously attune you to the energies you seek. What would your loving heart recommend for you now?
3. Remember that guidance is all about you
Your loving heart guides you to feel better. Even if it guides you to do something for someone else it is for you to feel good, to feel loving, and for you to feel connected to the Divine. Your loving heart will never say, “give someone a piece of your mind!” Instead, it will say, “share your heart.” Your loving heart will never say, “tell someone they must change.” It will say, “Be an example.” “Change your approach,” or “Walk away.” Your loving heart will never say, “go back for more,” instead it will guide you to shift your situation, your behavior, or your perception to a more powerful and peaceful reality.
Your loving heart will always empower you to create change in and for yourself.
Following the heart has helped me live a blissful life where I can truly serve others and return to joy, no matter the challenges life offers. If I listen, it guides me to keep my cup full so it can overflow, to respond to life in the kindest way for myself, and to allow others the same freedom. Listening to the sacred, loving heart is not only spiritually something we aspire to. It is eminently practical.
Feeling God and feeling love means feeling good!
