Wise Heart Practices, such as mindful explorations of breathing, moving, and meditation, are embodied ways of cultivating generous wisdom and spacious heartfulness. The practices act as pathways into a life filled with meaning and purpose.
They include all kinds of other practices, too: loving & being loved, generosity, curiosity & kindness, forgiveness & repair, patience, healing, interconnectedness, joy & sympathetic joy, empathy, playfulness, gratitude, growth, compassion, and more. When we practice in relationship with one’s own dear self and with others, we build strong connections and a resilient community.
Cultivating generous wisdom and spacious heartfulness insists that we each live our heart’s deepest desire. And this requires that we seed and tend supportive and nurturing skills like embodiment, adaptability, suppleness, responsiveness, continued welcoming, reverence, tender accountability, honoring, boundary-creation, and boundarylessness.
The Invitation is to relate to love as a verb filled with simplicity, nuance, regard, and reverence. Love is active even when the actions are invisible to others, like pausing, sustaining silence, and exploring stillness, or creating, holding, embracing, receiving, and enjoying spaciousness.
The exploration of Yoga and other contemplative wisdom traditions, philosophies, and practices provide some of the tools and inspiration that support and sustain this way of being. The investigation of neuroscience, polyvagal theory, systems theory, applied neurology, neuro-somatic intelligence, and resiliency are areas of study invaluable to opening our eyes to spacious ways of seeing ourselves and others. This way of extending dignity and offering kind regard make possible our shared healing, growth, and freedom.
Loving and being loved is both active and restful. The doing is filled with being. The actions are filled with ease. And then, of a sudden, you are Love Itself, as you always were and always will be.
