Meeting Life Forces with Your Heart

Life is so full these days.  I have been graced in January with the gift of meeting Yehuda Tagar and experiencing a weekend workshop in psychophonetics and psychosophy with him.
     Check out the Persephone Institute website to learn more and watch the YouTube video, too, to witness the work itself.  I see this work as a process that can enhance the work of the soul that I meet in spiritual direction with others.  I am working to promote Yehuda's work in America.  We hope to bring Persephone Institute here to train new practitioners in psychophonetics.

February has brought another gift in the work of Frank Chester.  I heard Frank speak of his work at a Waldorf school in Viroqua, Wisconsin this past Saturday night.  Frank has made incredible discoveries of forms that speak to the nature of our heart and the transformation needed in our hearts today.
 
      Check out Frank's website, too with many little video animations illustrating some of the wisdom he is opening to all of us to explore and deepen.

What is it that Frank Chester and Yehuda Tagar share in common?
      For me, it is the work and the wisdom of the heart.
      We are called to develop, to expand, to grow in the capacity of our hearts...to grow compassion and love, empathy and self-acceptance, peace and good will, to seek the truth of Life, Light and Love that can be found there.

“Balancing” says Frank, “is the primary function of the heart. Our inner work improves balance. When we are able to see ‘periphery’ and ‘center’ simultaneously; when we see ‘self’ and ‘other’ with equal equanimity, then we give the heart a loosening quality of balance that allows it to evolve etheric forces." 

Yehuda says,

"Within us lives the link

to the source of our creation. 

We can re-create ourselves from within."

This is my work and yours, too.
      I enter it through the experiences of my life, the relationships of my heart, the learning of my mind, and the wisdom of my body and senses.  Thinking, feeling and willing invite consciousness in three unique paths, each with its own invitations.
 
      I invite you to join me in this work.
 

"Every idea which does not become your ideal

slays a force in your soul;
every idea which becomes your ideal
creates within you life-forces."

 

- Rudolf Steiner

(from Knowledge of the Higher Worlds)

 
Begin with a reflection on the above quote and take a moment each day to recognize what idea you've taken in during the course of the day, that can become a guide, an ideal to call you forward with expanding forces of life.  Feel the truth of the ideal in your heart.  Give your heart to living out the invitation of its call to something greater than and yet inclusive of--yourself.
