Living in the Love of Your Heart all the time

Hey 8amers,

When may I live in the love of my heart?

It’s a profoundly romantic sounding question. But the truth is, there is tremendous, beautiful love in the heart. We've all felt it at times. And there's no one who wouldn't want to live in that beauty all the time. But very few people know how.

So, when and how can you live there? Really, truly live there and never leave? The answer is simple. When you want to feel and experience and bathe in that love in your heart more than anything else, you will stay there and never leave.

Let’s break down what that means.

Many think they need specific situations or people to feel that love - but that’s the fall of humanity. Trying to recreate those situations is the last way you'll ever feel that love in your heart.

Trying to recreate previous moments is pointless - because those previous moments were spontaneous.

They happened without you planning or controlling them. They happened because you were not planning or controlling them. And now - trying to manipulate and control people, places, and things to recreate those situations… that is the total opposite of spontaneity.

Everything is vibration. The vibration of true love is spontaneous and has no business near the energy of control.

The mind cannot understand this. It can only remember when something that felt like love happened. It can try to recall the details. It tries to mimic the memory, but it cannot make it happen again. For something to be spontaneous, and for the heart to open, the mind has to get out of the way. When the mind is active, the heart cannot feel. When the heart is feeling, the mind is not active.

So - to experience love, you must literally go to where love lives—in your heart. And that means leaving your mind. You might find it difficult because you’re trying to protect yourself, trying to control situations out of fear.

Leaving life to spontaneity can be terrifying. I would know as that’s exactly what i’ve been doing the past 6 months… leaving a million dollar business to just do music. I would also know because it’s exactly my focus in my relationship with Chloe.

And speaking from experience, my mind's attempts to control everything to feel safe & okay is a full-time job that keeps me away from my own heart. When shift your awareness from your heart into your head, you disrupt and lower the vibration.

So - the practice is to decide to leave your mind and go to your heart. When you stop going into your mind, you will end up in your heart. The journey to your heart is about not running away from it. You must be willing to experience whatever is in your heart, even the pain and disturbances, and work through them.

It’s not someone else's responsibility to fix your heart. It’s your responsibility. Blaming others for your heart’s problems won’t solve anything. If you’re whole and complete within yourself, no matter what others do, it won't disturb you.

I believe that a great being lives in their heart all the time, and understands that the outside world is not responsible for their inner state. They use every situation as an invitation to go deeper into their heart.

So, when can you live in the love of your heart? When you stop running away from it into your mind. When you decide to face it, work through its issues, and experience the beauty within. The love in your heart is waiting for you to come home.

Take care,

Arlin
