I have been teaching a 6 week workshop called “Heart to Heart Talks”. These are 4 different communication exercises that with dedicated practice are transformational. They develop a deep sense of affinity and intimacy within ones relationships. They bypass all the thinking and rationalizing and go right to the “heart” of things. People are left feeling heard, lighter, more deeply connected with whoever they share these Talks with.
It has been so rewarding for me to be a part of this journey. I have been working with 5 couples over the last 5 weeks. Even though they are stll in the beginning stages of weaving them deeply into their lives, there have been rewards. A greater softness, more feelings of connection, more understanding, compassion, learning things they had not known……..it goes on.
The transformation and magic deepens over the months they are used. To FEEL deeply loved, affirmed, appreciated in a very heart conected way IS deeply healing. To find a way to share our deepest truths only brings more intimacy and depth and healing. Think of your deepest wounding. Imagine a beautiful golden flow of light and love bathing that wound day after day in the form of deep love and connection. Most woundings OCCURED because we felt separate, alone, unsafe, unheard. And NOW this energy begins to come in day after day that is honest, safe, supportive………Powerfully healing.
It is such an honor to share these tools. There are 4 different exercises……Nurturing, discovery, clearing and affirming. They were created by my teachers Paul and Layne Cutright 30 + years ago as they knew they needed to do something different to find and maintain the level of love, intimacy and connection they so deeply desired
This Sunday is Valentine’s Day. I am facilitating a class called “Exploring the Mysteries of the Heart” at Sun Moon from 5:00-7:00. You may come alone, with a friend or a partner. We will spend the first 40 minutes doing some partner yoga……nothing beyond the hatha level. We will then do some journaling and exercises going into our own hearts…..our feelings, dreams, desires. You will get to experience a loving heart to heart talk.
There are a few more spots in Sunday’s class and stay tuned for my next 6 week class for “Heart to Heart Talks”.
For today, try to speak more honestly from your heart. Notice how it feels to be more transparent, more vulnerable. Try to LISTEN with greater presence. Be aware of how often you rush in to get your own point across. Listen and speak from the heart. It is a powerful practice.
Greatest love, melanie
