Jack Canfield, a recognized author and success coach, suggest the following exercise, a kind of love meditation.
Whenever we feel out of phase, it is when our heart beat and our brain waves are not in alignment with each other. Here is a practice to be in a state of alignment. Also by doing this you get in a state of appreciation.
See in your mind’s eye that you are breathing in through your heart, instead of your lungs.
Close your eyes and focus on your heart. Then imagine that there is an opening in your chest where you can inhale through, in place of your nose or your mouth.
Next imagine that you are filling up, like being charged, with Love and gratitude. Each time you exhale your heart stays the same, but every time you inhale, your heart grows a little larger.
Next, focus on a person or some thing that you really love and appreciate. It can be your spouse, your mate, your son or daughter, your dog or cat, your car, a piece of art, your choice.
Practice for 3 to 4 minutes, you will be in an wonderful overjoyed state. Then, while in that state ask “What is the solution to this problem?” Say that you are having difficulty with a person at home or at your work place, or you are not manifesting a goal you have in your heart. Next, you may say, “What do I need to know, how can I be more effective to achieve this goal?”
The result is: You will get better answers from your heart than you would get from your head. You have been taught how to think logically with your brain. But when you find yourself in a state of gratitude, of appreciation, you will access deeper wisdom.
