Messy Musicians and Creatives Chaos to Compassion Day 16 Connection

Let’s talk about connection. To your soul and your spirit, your Higher Self, the Universe, Mother Earth, The Divine, Great Mystery, God, Unconditional Love, All that Is …. whichever of these make sense to you. 


How do you get in touch? Is it through the beauty of nature? Poetry? Sacred practice of some sort like mantras, drumming, gratitude? Meditation? Reading sacred texts? Pondering on peak or ineffable experiences you have had or strange coincidences that hint to a bigger plan at work?  Looking at the night sky? Watching children play and laugh? Simply by sitting quietly? 


I’m going to talk about two practices today – Heart Breathing (Heart Math) and Two Way Prayer.


Heart Breathing or Heart Math is simply placing your hand/s over your heart and breathing for 2 minutes. It calms us, synchronises the electricity of the brain to the heart, connecting us and can connect to unconditional love.

Just breathing with your hands over your heart. <3


2 Way Prayer, or a variation – thought rhyming or another variation -writing from the womb or womb space, we can try this week.

Start by creating sacred space in whatever way – perhaps lighting a candle, saying a prayer, reading sacred/spiritual literature, doing the heart breathing exercise above. Asking to connect with [God/dess / Mother Earth / Higher Power / The Universe / Higher Self – whatever makes sense to you ] and then taking some time to write for a few minutes either about something bothering you, or a question, or just how you are feeling at the moment.

Then pause and write a term of endearment as if coming from a loving God/dess such as ‘Beloved’, ‘Dear One’ ‘Darling your name’  ‘My Child’ – whatever makes sense to you. And Listen for answers but if nothing comes use your imagination to respond as that Loving Presence. – If Divine Wisdom or Loving Inner Guide was answering what would they say. Try not to edit but just write in flow until it becomes stilted. It can be useful to set a timer for 5 10 or even 15 minutes.

A variation we have done is Writing from the Wombspace – where we first do a journey to connect down to the womb of Mother Earth and then write keeping our inention on the connection through the wombspace and just write what comes, unfiltered, uncensored.

There is no right or wrong, and it can be tempting to dismiss and block but if we allow ourselves to write ‘as if’ some beautiful helpful loving information support and guidance can come.
