Journey to the Heart

Let the Universe Lead the Way
Feel and see how the life force, the heartbeat of the universe, leads you on, guides you, takes you on the way. Yes, there are times when we need to march forward, muster up our willpower, and grind through the motions. But those times are transitory. And that's not the magical way we're living now. Even when we stop, doubt, wonder, get tired, and confused, the universe is there to revitalize us, move us along our path and lead the way.
If you're tired, rest. If you're sad, cry. If you're thirsty, take a long, cold drink of water. If you feel hopeless, feel that. Feel it until clarity, desire, hope and meaning break through. You don't have to trudge through on willpower, not any longer. You do not have to push your way through.
Rest until you feel healed, then gently go forward. Let the universe assist you. Open your eyes, the eyes of your soul, and see where to go. Feel where to go. Sense what to do next. See how the magical power of the universe carries you along, even when you get tired, even when you get confused. You are connected - to yourself, to the universal life force, to God (Or to what you believe in).
Quiet the chatter of your mind. Renew your body. Replenish your soul. Take all the healing energy of the world around you. Then let the universe lead the way.

My yoga instructor sporadically reads excerpts from Journey to the Heart, and of course I picked up my copy and love to share some of the daily entries...so above is an entry from over the weekend.
Ps. Happy Birthday Heather! Hope you're having a fabulous day with your hubby and daughter!
