Head versus Heart: A Vibrational Conundrum

I find myself getting clearer and clearer on how Law of Attraction works in my life, and within me, the more I work with it.  I have been studying this material for more than 15 years now and yet it is in the application and observation that the real comprehension is revealed.  It is also quite clear to me that I will never be done being a student of this material as there are just so many parts of life to which I have yet to apply it.  Yet it is not really important as I am discovering that I care less and less about things and more and more about simply feeling good. It must first and foremost be about my heart's happiness.  I must stay out of the quadrant of the head and fully into the realm of the heart.  And for me, I find that it cannot really be separated from my spirituality.  

By this I mean that I realize that no matter what my head or ego may want, what my soul wants is truly what will manifest as my heart sends out far more powerful signals to the universe than any other part of me.  My spiritual beingness is at the core of this and feeding my inner (spiritual) landscape is key to remaining in the place where Law of Attraction can do its best work.  This is where I have found my "sweet spot."  

Given this observation, I would love to share a couple more thoughts.

First of all I'd like to share that there is actual scientific data that supports this.  The organization known as HeartMath has clinical research that shows that the heart is a brain, and that this heart-brain is stronger than the brain we've known about since our earliest school days.  (You can find some of this research at their website:  www.heartmath.org.  Here is a small bit from their research online:

"The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain.   This field, measured in the form of an electrocardiogram (ECG), can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body.  Furthermore, the magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain, and can be detected a number of feet away from the body, in all directions, using SQUID-based magnetometers."

So, becoming more aware of what the heart is up to (versus the constant streaming of our mind-talk) might just be a worthy and beneficial pursuit.

I wish everyone would take a deeper look at how the Law of Attraction works and how they are trying to apply it in their lives given this information.  I have a feeling that if they could get clearer on the difference between what requests their head and heart are sending out to the universe, they would gain a whole lot of clarity.  I'm pretty sure that within that clarity you would find enough evidence of how much your heart is invested in your Joy that you could begin to relax and enjoy the process a bit more.  Like the boy in The Alchemist who feared his heart would betray him, you too will ultimately find that your heart will never lie to you or betray you in any way.  Its sole desire is to increase your Joy.  Once this awareness dawns within you, you will realize that you don't need to work so hard at, or with, the Law of Attraction as it is always working to fulfill your heart's desires.  

This naturally leads one to the realization that our only work then is to relax and KNOW that our good and our joy is on its way to us!  I mean this seriously ... matter-of-factly.  The moment our heart conceives it, the universe creates the loving response that will thrill our heart.  And then we need only to be a vibrational match ... a receptacle of surrender (no expectation on HOW the desire will manifest), trust (knowing that it can't not be and that the universe will deliver as much wonder and delight as we are able to receive), and gratitude (that it is already done) ... and your heart's desire will be yours. 

I think that what hangs most students of LOA up, or what convinces others that it doesn't even exist, is that they are so set on what they want in their head that they don't realize the desire emanating from the soul (heart) and that what their head wants may not be the best thing to grant the heart's desire and so they are creating a vibrational conundrum.  Which, of course, binds the proverbial "hands" of the universe.

And so, our greatest work most likely lies in undoing the beliefs we've been taught about not trusting our hearts ("you know what you have to do", "you can't always have what you want"), not following our hearts ("get your head out of the clouds", "keep your feet on the ground") and accepting the truth that our hearts DO have our best interest (highest good, ultimate joy) at heart. 

This process will probably be different for everyone, but getting clear on "the work" is a good start in the right direction.

enJOY your JOurneY!
