The heart allows us to feel a diverse landscape of emotion, but the very highest feeling we can experience is Supreme Love. And this love that is so high, so beyond mental comprehension, is the very source of all life. It is the engine that sustains all facets of life, and transitions us through and beyond death.

Life is for love. Love is the catalyst that brings warmth, heat and fire to transform life into its highest possible expression. Love added to an impossible dilemma can bear the unexpected, the unimaginable, and the miraculous. Love can take you beyond the limited views of the mind to create something that smashes the heart wide open. Reach beyond what you currently know and let love transform your path with all the wonder, beauty, and mystery that you are.

In life there are moments of profound stagnation, sorrow, and aloneness. These moments feel as if they might never end, like there is no possible space beyond their sorrow. And yet love moves life continuously onward.

The heart allows Universal Love to speak through and to you. To experience this inspires trust in the Universe. Universal Love can be known throughout one’s life. Your heart is the physical and energetic hub that allows you to know yourself as Divine. One of my favorite mystics, Albert Einstein, extols the wonder of the heart, “The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in there most primitive forms–this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of all true religiousness.”

Einstein’s words point to a cosmic feeling I call love. Through the human body and mind, you can know, become established in, and be strengthened by love. The heart is the organ and energetic center of the body that discerns messages from the Universe.

Your capacity to hold, refine, and attune to Universal Love propels you along your destiny. Lonny Jarrett, a scholar and healer in the Taoist tradition says, “The heart aligns us with heaven’s will and gives each of us a unique charge to fulfill heaven’s purpose.” Every human being is born with a purpose. Purpose is the guiding force that acts as a compass for you to effectively fulfill your life lessons. The heart is the beacon that receives and sends Universal signals of healing and love for you and your world.
