The Heart Reset

I’d like to share a simple process you can use whenever you feel overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected. It’s something I use daily to reset myself and connect to my heart.

This process can take from a few minutes to longer according to what you need. And it’s one of the most powerful ways I have found to reconnect to my inner wisdom.

So here are the 5 steps.

1. Connect to your heart

Start by putting your hand on your heart. This way, you can make physical contact with your heart energy. It is very helpful if you have trouble feeling your emotions and you need to come back into your body.

2. Slow down your breathing

Then, start to slow down the rhythm of your breathing, especially if you are feeling very agitated. You can try taking 5 seconds to inhale and 5 seconds to exhale. Whatever works best for you. Just make sure you breathe in through the nose and into the belly.

3. Feel and listen

Now bring your attention to the feelings in your body. Locate them and try to observe what is happening inside of you. You can simply note the emotions as you notice them. The first step to change is to become conscious of our present reality. And as you feel, listen to what these emotions are telling you.

4. Accept and allow

Here comes the hardest part. The healthy way to deal with emotions or difficult situations in our life is to fully accept them. When we hold judgments about ourselves and how we feel, we only perpetuate our own cycle of suffering.

But when we accept and allow the emotions to be, they lose their power over us. From that place, we can choose what is best for us in our life. But first, we need to break out of our own reactivity.

5. Ask for guidance

This part is my favorite. Once you have grounded yourself in your heart, simply ask, “What do I need right now?” and listen to what comes to you. You will always receive kind words of wisdom and love to handle your situation.

By asking this question through your heart, you connect to your deepest source of wisdom, your intuition. You are able to tap into your Higher Self and know what is really best for YOU.

You can also ask other questions like “What do I need to change in my life?” There is no limit. However, I recommend that you write down the answers so that you don't forget them later on.

All these steps work together in a unified flow. But it’s not as simple as moving from one step to the other and moving on. It’s about learning to slow down and go within.

This process has done magic in my life and has taught me how to quickly connect to the wisdom of my heart.

Now, next time you are in a situation where you feel lost or overwhelmed, try this out and see if it works for you.
