Here are some quick ways to gauge if are aligned with your heart. Become aware of any 'emotional imbalances' including over-loving to the point of suffocation, jealousy, abandonment, anger, and bitterness. Fear of loneliness. Characteristics of emotions are located in the brain. The limbic system in the brain regulates emotions such as fear or anger, very vital emotions, which are helpful in protecting us from danger. Essentially the amygdala is responsible for discerning the stimulus of fear however at times the body chemistry released from years of stressful thoughts can change the balance and cause the brain to overthink dramas. Stored emotional memories can create an overwhelming sense of pent up, repressed emotions that cause resistance and lack of flow (communication) from the heart. Scientists have learned that the heart sends a greater intensity of impulses to the brain and when the heart is allowed to feel joy, gratitude, love and compassion, safety, security, and faith.
The key sign you are connected with your heart is the feeling ‘there is no pain in bliss’. Let it go, be in your heart.
