When all your desires are distilled, you will cast just two votes: to love more, and be happy. –Hafiz
With the state of the economy and other things in our lives seeming so uncertain, as business owners we may begin operating in a survival state of mind in which the ego is in control of our thoughts and emotions.
This state of mind is characterized by negative self-talk and unhelpful thinking patterns. It can lead us to feel disempowered, hopeless and pessimistic about the future.
If this is a feeling you recognize, take note; there is a solution. To help you infiltrate ego-hold with peaceful more heart-centered thoughts, try incorporating a meditative practice into your day.
By taking a moment to pause and reflect on your highest-self and giving yourself the opportunity to remember who you are and who you want to be, you will conquer the negative self-talk and retain a positive, peaceful and heart-centered outlook.
Allow the meditative process to tap into your subconscious– there you will find clarity and a sense of peace.
Peaceful-Heart-Centered Meditation
A peaceful-heart-centered meditation begins by finding a place where you can sit quietly, without outside disturbances. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. As you begin to feel settled, bring your attention to the area of your physical heart.
With each breath you take, see your heart slowly expanding. Allow your heart to continue to expand. If you feel that your mind is trailing off – note the pattern. Are you thinking of unpaid bills or a to-do list that seems never ending? Bring yourself back to heart-center, and refocus on your breathing. Take a few minutes – or longer – to rest in this nourishing energy. Now, slowly open your eyes, sit quietly.
Integrate this awakening into your being. You should feel awakened to specific details related to your mission, and you should feel a sense of peace and calmness, rather than feeling stress and anxiety. You can work with increased focus, clarity and awareness, increased productivity and an increase in self-worth and self-confidence.
By taking the time to listen to the wisdom of your highest, heart-centered self during meditation and throughout the day, you allow this wisdom to guide you into a higher expression; where the ego does not have a booming voice.
