Choosing the right symbolism for any gift requires processing!  Giving a heart, for instance, is affirming self-acceptance and other-acceptance.   “Hearts” are a “locus” of being.  Heart symbols represent “feeling” more than “head-wisdom of reason.”  Other symbols stand for different things.
For instance, dragonflies signify change in the perspective of self realization and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

While weighing what is happening in our lives and what we see in others often becomes complex!   All of us have experienced how the mind can rob a good feeling!   Get back to the locus!  Feel, think, feel.

Traditionally we seek symbolism. We want to validate a situation and stamp it with a feeling, with a thing. That is how symbolism operates. While in the process of choosing a perfectly unique gift congruent with situational exchange, we often wrestle forces which challenge our life desires and structures.

Remember! Do not forget what actually is the crux (or heart) of the matter within us. Always get back to the crux of the matter, the “heart” of the matter. View the symbol as a mindful loving teacher.

 

 

 

 

BOSSY Symbol like the Heart!

We talk about exchanging symbols, and this week it is hearts.

The brain is said to be the body’s boss, but sometimes it is believed that the body’s boss is actually the heart.  Humans often have believed emotions originate from the heart.  Many behavioral scholars agree that emotions actually begin in our cognitive area, the brain.

When faced with a troubling or discordant reality, feelings such as excitement, sadness, or fear will create bodily functions such as accelerated breathing and a heart-beat rapidity or swelling of the tear glands.   This signals a need for oxygen.  The brain and heart must connect in order for a healthy human to survive.  How intricate and beautiful, delicate and serious, tough, and unmistakably genius work this creative system is!

Each day millions of memories and billions of calculations occur within each of us.  Seeing, thinking and controlling movements are part of its repertoire of skills that each person depends upon, however, belief exists that each heart/mind needs to evaluate all organs fairly in order to evaluate  — for each individual —  what direction to head toward.

In the book titled “The Heart-Mind Matrix” discussions ensue about how the heart can teach the mind new ways to think.  On page 76, the author, Joseph Chilton Pearce, illustrates by paralleling a universal diagram, that of the earth and other planetary entities . As is in magnetism, the earth and the moon and the orbit co-exist like the heart and the mind and the body. All exchange signals. This matrix is encompassing a fantastic ritualistic journey.  It is about equivalence and correspondence.

Emotion, he says, is solidly biological and the brain affects our hearts. The type of beat and muscle reaction to our thoughts will momentarily give our chest cavity a sense of  happiness or sadness.  Then our minds cognate a feeling in our heart.  Positive emotions bring coherence and negative emotions incoherence.  He explains the heart and the mind, as elements within themselves, both are involved in reciprocal unison.
