An Invitation to Heart-Centered Perception
In a world that often prioritizes head over heart, this practice offers a gentle but powerful rebalancing. By recognizing the heart as the root of perception, we invite a more integrated, embodied way of experiencing life.
When listening to the heart there are three levels of knowing that become one flow.
1. listening to the pulsation of the heart on radial artery of the opposite hand. Listen and feel the heart beat in the chest. This deep listening has immense healing power for the whole body.
2. The heart nourishes and maintain the tree of life, that is our body mind. Each heartbeat is a contraction of the heart that sends blood to the body with nutrients and life force. Each body part is in direct contact with the heart through the blood flow. And the heart is in direct contact with the organ through the return blood.
3. The heart is the root of our perceptions. The sense organs receive the nutrients and life force from the heart as they open like flowers to receive the impression of the outer world, sent it back to the heart via the blood flow.
One heart beat at a time we perceive the world.
