We embark on the twenty-seventh day of a 40 Day Practice, based on the energy of the Labyrinth (releasing – contemplation – receiving). If you have a local labyrinth, I invite you to walk the labyrinth with today’s theme as your focus. If you don’t have a local labyrinth, you can create your own, take a walk somewhere peaceful, or even sit in contemplation in your own home. I will be scheduling various public labyrinth appearances, and you are welcome to join me when and where you can, if you feel moved to do so.

The theme for today is Heart Knowledge. We have many operating systems, many places and perspectives from which we can operate. When we pull ourselves into our heart center and listen, we operate from a place of connection, with ourselves, the people around us, and the world. The heart has a very different sort of knowingness that the min. It will lead us in different directions, and it will always tell us the Truth. There is no illusion in the Heart.

Questions that can help you see what can be released: Where do I override my intuition? Where do I feel disconnected? How do I disconnect myself? What old heart wounds are ready to be healed? What lies do I tell myself?

Suggestions for contemplation: Breathe, slowly and deeply. After a few breath cycles, begin to pull all of your attention and all of your focus and all of your energy into the very center of your chest, at the level of your armpits. Imagine that you are becoming a condensed version of yourself in that space. As you focus into that space, whatever color you see there shifts and clarifies to a brilliant, clear, emerald green. Become aware of the flow, the movement of the energy. Don’t direct it, just observe. At the very center of that energy is the Truth.

A mantra for receiving today might be “I open myself to receive the True Knowledge of my Heart Center.”
