TC 271: From Head to Heart
from Transformation Cafe · host Transformation Cafe
In this episode of the Transformation Cafe podcast, host Robin Masiewicz and her guests discuss the journey from "Head to Heart". They share techniques for moving from feeling isolated, filled with worry, anxiety, self-doubt, and critical self-talk about who we think we are (the head) to recognizing your authentic self, increasing awareness, and moving toward what you truly want (the heart).Even if you don't suffer from negative self-talk and other issues, living a head-centered life may prevent you from experiencing an abundant, deeply rewarding life. As Robin's guest Amy Frost says, when she finds herself in times of stress and she's not sure what she should do, she takes a step away from the logical/worrying part of herself and asks "what does my heart want?". By tuning into her heart-centered truth, she is able to take the appropriate action.Huffington Post has an article titled "Move from Head to Heart in 3 Easy Steps". While the simple technique the author shares won't solve all your problems, it may help you get started.In a another article titled "Moving from Head to Heart", author Suma Varughese observes:"Heart thinking is at a level higher than reason, not lower. And it is not opposed to reason. The difference is that it does not allow reason the star role it plays in head thinking. Heart thinking arrives at conclusions through faculties other than the mind, but it will use the mind to articulate these conclusions, and even validate them. So what are these faculties?""Most of us would call it intuition-a knowing that seems to come from the very depth of our being, from every cell in our body. Unlike the logic-driven processes of the mind, this knowledge seeps into our being and the certainty of knowing is utterly indisputable. The conclusions that the head arrives at can never give us that level of deep-rooted certainty, particularly in matters of ethics, values, decision-making and behavioral choices."If you are in a state of distress your best option may be to seek professional help. As guest Gloria observes in the podcast, your friends can only do so much; they are not trained to help you move past your issues or deal with clinical depression, so it's best to work with someone that is qualified to offer guidance and the tools to help you.If you want to learn more techniques for moving from your head to your heart, we suggest you take a look at the books below.
