Self Love Journey..tips for getting out of your head and into your heart

WIth the full moon peaking today in Leo (which rules all things heart) and Valentine's just around the corner, it's the perfect time to let the brain rest a bit and get into the heart space... and trust me, I know this is easier said than done!

What brings you the most joy? Do that! When we give ourselves permission to make time for our joy, our heart chakra literally hums… and has a reverberating effect out into the cosmos which in turn comes back to you ten fold.

I've put together a list of things I do to align with joy; I hope it inspires you to give your heart wings...

My top three go to’s are nature, yoga/meditation, and connection (preferably all three at once).

Depending on your environment, that might look like walking barefoot on the beach or grass, watching the sunrise/sunset, smelling the rain, walking through the woods, or tinkering in your garden.

Connection with those you love. This can look like tea with a friend, catching up on phone calls with far away loved ones, watching a funny movie with your partner, or friend, going to a yoga class or similar heart lifting group event (another favorite is sound bowl events).

Apart from my regular morning meditation practice, I love Melanie Beckler’s angel meditations; especially the 15 minute “Instant perspective shift with Archangel Michael.. you can find it on YouTube.

Dancing is another amazing tool for getting out of your head and into your heart. To slow down, sway, and give my heart wings, I’ve been enjoying Chill Mix on Spotify.

As trite as it may sound, taking time to close your eyes and feel into what you are truly grateful for, brings instant peace.

And last but not least, I always turn to our heart healing gems and crystals for times when I need to be more gentle with myself. A favorite go to is to fill my bath with rose quartz stones and a few drops of David Elliot’s heart opening oil “Open Heart.”
