Live From Your Heart

Posted on Aug 15th, 2006 by Darlene : Grace Goddess Darlene
I'm a RN and a Licensed Life Coach.  After over 23 years in hospital nursing I feel that much of disease is caused from living from the outside in. We spend too much time and waste too much energy living to please others.  It starts with our parents (yes, even loving parents) and it continues into adulthood when we try to meet all of society's expectations. We are spiritual beings and when we live to try and satisfy everyone else, we loose sight of out gifts, and our calling. We are missing out on the chance to use out gifts in a way that could really impact the world. We fail to take care of ourselves, our real need for self love and expression goes unmet. We get caught up in a false life. We shut the door on our dreams, we wouldn't recognize our true calling if it knocked on our door and said, "Here I am."  Eventually, we get sick, first spiritually sick,  then physically sick. This happens because we crush our own spirit to satisfy others.

The truth is that if we don't love and care ourselves, we can't really be there for others, too much of our unmet need and the resentment it builds, and gets in the way. This can be especially true for women; I've seen it play out with devastating  health consequences. This is why I founded the Center For Balanced Women.

I help women get in touch with their heart, their core essence. Finding your essence opens the door to self love and self care; your heart can open up. Once you knows it's safe, you can live from your heart.  Living from your heart increases your ability to spread love in the world. Living from your heart opens the door for Grace to move in and be recognized in your life. Living from your heart opens the door to healthy relationships. Living from your heart is the secret to happiness!
