We all have one. \u00a0An inner genius. She shows up when we get out of our heads and into our hearts.\u00a0 In that deep pool of wisdom we find the A-Ha\u2019s, epiphanies and revelations.<\/p>\n
The head can be a bit of a bully and in a wrestling match with the heart often the victor. \u00a0You can see where the pushiness comes from, it is after all, \u00a0the depository of all our accumulated knowledge.\u00a0 We take pride in what we know\u2026..we rest on it\u2026.we applaud it\u2026..we stake our lives on it.<\/p>\n
But what about this\u2026.have you ever experienced a stroke of brilliance where an answer to question or a solution to a problem just flowed<\/i> from you?\u00a0 Maybe it was insight or understanding that dawned<\/i> and you came to a deeper level of compassion, empathy or forgiveness for yourself or someone else.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the genius of the heart. It takes us further and deeper than we \u2018thought\u2019.<\/p>\n
My inner genius has been showing up.\u00a0 Every Tuesday, for 10 weeks, I\u2019m a practice client for a friend getting her certification as a Life Coach. Every session starts with deep breaths into the heart.\u00a0 She introduces a theme and with gentle, soothing prompts (and more heart breathing) asks what comes up for me. It\u2019s really interesting as the wisdom stored within comes flowing out.<\/p>\n
The deep wisdom \u2026deeper than anything our minds can conjure just waits to be called upon.\u00a0 When I was a corporate trainer I started sessions with a big dose of humor. It opened the hearts of participants and allowed integration of the mind.\u00a0 Outcomes always exceeded expectation. I can take credit for engaging their hearts in preparation for the work ahead. The brilliance that followed came from them.<\/p>\n
As we embark on Life Part II and become all we were meant to be I suggest we open our hearts. We can ask the big questions, receive insight from a pool of infinite wisdom and then <\/i>chart the course.<\/p>\n
