LOVING SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE

Love helps us experience signs, glimmers of recognition. Love maps our heart song's work with our soul's code destiny. This loving unifies our fields of possibilities as signs reveal no matter how nuts, lost, stuck we may feel, the path, the work we are doing is aligned. Signs are life's connections, reconnection, remembering with the constellation of our being. Signs are multi-dimensional because they bridge time and space. It's a Peacock squawking at the cemetery when you are thinking about your dead loved one. It's two crows, going nuts, causing you to stop before crossing the road, saving you from being struck by a driver texting on their phone missing blowing through the stop sign. Whether in losing a friend, ending a cycle, completing a course of study, radically accepting the completion of a major life event. What has been is done. Something has the appearance of separation. What was is gone. No longer be with us in a physical way, moving forward...

Death makes a crown of love,

A mantle to take across the threshold

As a sign of accomplished living:

You are loved,

You have loved,

You have lived."

—Greg Gilbert

We love signs. It affirms our interconnections. They remind. You are loved. Always. Completely. Whole Heartedly. Consider this a sign to connect to the dreams of your heart, to accept and flower in the necessary loving work required and to step boldly into the darkness to meet everyone you've every loved and have yet to love. It is your time for connection, reflection and the joy of being in worlds of peace, creativity and love.

CONNECTION, COLLABORATION, CARE AND SUPPORT

The world is full of signs, guiding us, aligning us and showing us we are in connection with our deepest truth. No one is here to be alone. Everyone is loved. We are all in connection to all that is. Our signs include hearts, everywhere in every form. You seek what you find and in the way of practicing loving actions, love is always found. We invite you to join us in a NEXT 100 days of loving action and music. We shout it from the highest hills. Love is the way for the 21st century. Become someone whose heart is open, who continues to grow in connection and care for the worlds we inhabit. Let's find the ways that bring us to the center of our beingness and alight with our eternal joy.

Now is always the time to do your necessary loving work. Do not be afraid, let not fear stop you, let it inform your processes and practices and let's be a light for the ways we return to our loving inner power, sacred, eternal home, and to each other.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Our NEXT 100 Days of Love brought us into deep practice of loving our lands (with care and work.) It comes from dreams our neighbors had to build and connect communities coming together to garden, harvest our neighborhood fruit trees, to share ideas, practice mutual aid, be alive to the soul and soil nourishment of our local lands, the homes that sustain and connect us. It is the care and necessary work of cultivating the conditions for our loving to thrive, to remember the truth and to connect to the heart and lift each other up in community care. We joined together in ideas of permaculture, biophilia and It is through the biophilic practices informing our communities, our neighborhoods and our ways through. In our work with the heart, we’ve seen a lot of synchronicities in taking loving action. In the space of loving connection in action all time collapses into the present, releasing the past, freeing up the future, full of possibilities. We invite you to participate for your own NEXT 100 days. Consider the possibility there is another way and be a loving force for good.

BOOKS TO CULTIVATE INNER POWER HEART KNOWLEDGE

Dive a bit more deeply into the science and power of the heart. Here are a few books, as part of a PHD of the heart work study.

1. Science of the Heart -- Book by Rollin McCraty

Exploring the Role of the Heart in Human Performance:

An Overview of Research Conducted by the HeartMath Institute

2. Resilience from the Heart: The Power to Thrive in Life's Extremes -- Book by Gregg Braden -- The single eye of the heart—the state of harmony that we create for ourselves in heart-brain coherence—accesses what’s true for us in the moment of a given situation. Rather than thinking through a list of the pros and cons or weighing out the probability that an experience of the past will re peat itself in the present, our heart intelligence knows instantly what’s true for us in the moment. The truth is: whether we’re tall or short, and regardless of the race or nationality we call our heritage, for all of us the average distance from the center of our brains to the middle of our hearts is the same: 18 inches.

But the short distance can be deceptive. Depending on the beliefs of our families, our communities, our religions, and what happens in our life experiences, it can take months, years, or a lifetime to learn how to make the shift from the logical thinking of the mind to the intuitive wisdom of the heart, and when it’s appropriate to do so.

“If the 20th century has been the Century of the Brain . . . then the 21st century should be the Century of the Heart.” — Gary E. R. Schwartz, Ph.D., and Linda G. S. Russek, Ph.D., Authors of The Living Energy Universe
