			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: left;">Heartspace: The Infinite Heart</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <b>heartspace</b> is where the greatest change and transformation take place for the <i>heartspace</i>, when open, holds no attachment. When the <u>heartspace</u> is open and decisions are made from the limitless available information, all is possible.  It is here one gains true personal  power. It is here that true healing takes place and wisdom resides.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The journey of remembering and letting go is an inner journey. This is true transformation.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">What Is Heartspace: The Infinite Heart?</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Why is the Infinite Heart important?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>What role does the brain play in all of this?</strong></p>
<p>When my thoughts are quiet and stillness is reached I have access to wisdom, information and knowledge from limitless fields of information including my intuition, guidance from spiritual realms and other dimensions.</p>
<p>When I began to explore what I am calling The Infinite Heart to see what science is saying about the heartspace I found that HeartMath Research Center, Institute of HeartMath, Publication No. 01-001, in Boulder Creek, California, presented the following insights in 2001:<br />
Four Ways the Heart Communicates with the Brain:</p>
<ul>
<li>Neurologically (Nerves)</li>
<li>Biochemically (Hormones)</li>
<li>Biophysically (Pressure Waves)</li>
<li>Energetically (Electromagnetic Fields)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>More from HeartMath about the Heart:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body.</li>
<li>Its electrical field is sixty times greater in amplitude than electrical activity generated by the brain.</li>
<li>Its magnetic field is five thousand times greater in strength than the magnetic field of the brain.</li>
<li>Its electromagnetic signals affect others.</li>
<li>Heart-focused feelings like love and appreciation help the brain entrain with the heart.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>So, what does this mean to me?</strong></p>
<p>What intrigued me was the information that describes how much more powerful the heart is than the brain. In fact, it is the energy field of the heart that is most delightful to me as a practitioner of subtle energies as I work with clients seeking ways to change and transform many aspects of their lives.</p>
<p>I often find that people are searching for answers but don’t trust what they receive. A lot of time is spent second-guessing and doubting what is received.  When a person is in this space that person can feel as though his or her mind is racing much like a hamster on a wheel as the wheel continues to spin faster and faster. When I mention this I see a smile and a resounding confirmation of this truth. Sometimes I suggest that to quiet and stop this confusion, “Just move your attention from your head into your heartspace so your mind will quiet.”</p>
<p>In the quiet of the heartspace access to wisdom is found. Answers to questions can be heard clearly.</p>
<p>This is easier said than done! Many tools can be used to help achieve this inner connection within the heartspace.</p>
<p>At a <a target="blank" href="http://www.matrixenergetics.com" rel="nofollow">Matrix Energetics</a> seminar created and presented by Dr. Richard Bartlett he invited us to think of the brain as a computer, the hardware, with the left brain behaving more like a serial processor with limited capacity and the right brain behaving like that of a parallel processor with far more capacity and less limitation. The pearl that was revealed to me, however, was the image of keeping the left brain busy enough to allow the right brain to bring infinite useful information into the heartspace which is neutral and limitless.</p>
<p>The software that the heartspace accesses is not from the brain but from the unseen morphic fields of limitless information and consciousness. These fields function much like computer applications function. They are limitless in the information, wisdom and knowledge that they hold.</p>
<p>Dr. Bartlett’s message was similar, though using different words, to what I’ve intuitively known. Now I have language to describe what I’ve felt and known before.</p>
<p>Further, I discovered another pearl as I listened to Dr. Bartlett’s presentation. He pointed out that not many people know what it feels like to be in the quiet place of our hearts. A light bulb went on as I thought, it’s one thing to intellectualize on how we get there and feel it and it is another thing to feel it and experience it actually.</p>
<p>My own journey has led me to this place after many years of prayer, discernment and meditation which have included a practice of energy movement incorporating Tai Chi, QiGong, breathing and other subtle energy practices.</p>
<p>The heartspace is where the greatest change and transformation happen because it provides a neutral field enabling us to connect with our  highest consciousness, wisdom and knowledge.</p>
<p>It is here that clutter is eliminated and clarity prevails. It is here that the infinite is made available and evaluated with the help of our brains.</p>
<p>The HeartMath study described to me the power of my heart versus my brain in new ways. Dr. Bartlett’s description and language also have given me new ways to describe what I already know. I’m grateful for the confirmation!</p>
<p>Everything is conscious, all is possible, we are creators, and amazing things happen when we let go of expected outcomes.</p>
<p>The only limitations to what is possible are what we believe and how we limit our imaginations.</p>
<p>With Great Love &amp; Light,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Master Gardener Planting The Seed</h1>
<p>The <b>seed</b> of wisdom, knowledge, experience and memories have been planted in your soul and consciousness before you were born. This is a time of awakening and remembering who you are and why you chose to come to this time and place.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It begins with a <i>seed</i>.<br />
Wisdom, knowledge, awareness—all are found within,<br />
deep within the soul.</p>
<p>Think of yourself as a gardener. You are a master gardener who has the responsibility to till and nurture the most precious soil in the universe and beyond. That is the soil of the soul. In fact, your role as master gardener is so important that the resources of the universe are at your fingertips—a cosmic nursery filled with master gardeners. It doesn’t matter if you know how to be a gardener or not. It only matters that you are. This is the analogy that will be used throughout.</p>
<h2>Acorn Seed Awakening</h2>
<p>Many of you have a yearning deep within that has yet to be named. It often feels as though “life must be something more” even when life is good. This is a soul awakening and remembering—struggling like the acorn <u>seed</u> to push through and grow into its full maturity and become the beautiful oak tree. Your soul is yearning for conscious awakening and remembering. It is longing to grow into its full maturity, when you are consciously ONE with God. This is a maturity that brings forth the God/Goddess within, the one who co-creates with Source in each and every moment, nurturing life in all forms. It is a maturity that recognizes beauty and God in all expressions of life. It is a maturity that is not based upon age. It is, rather, one of soul consciousness and awareness that can come at any age.</p>
<p>As you become and own the mastery of all that you are, you are indeed the master gardener, the gardener who is responsible for what seed is planted, removed and nurtured within your own inner garden. Freedom to create all that you desire is at your fingertips.</p>
<p>Now let’s begin at the beginning for it is here that understanding starts. First let’s say that you have free will and are free to believe what you will. This is a precious gift given freely by Mother-Father God/Creator/Source/All That Is One. For ease of discussion we will refer to the ONE Source as God. It is not our intent to link any religious connotation with this term, however. It is not our intent to persuade or convince you of these truths or beliefs. We ask that you remain open of heart, mind and soul and feel the truth that resonates for you.</p>
<p style="align: center">
<div style="text-align:center"><img class="size-medium wp-image-652 alignnone" title="Planting The Seed Rose Unfold" src="http://evolvingjourneysblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Planting-The-Seed-Rose-300x274.jpg" alt="Planting The Seed - Rose Unfold" width="187" height="170" /></div>
<p style="align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Seed of Truth</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Take what resonates within your soul and allow it freedom to grow, like the acorn seed, the seed of truth that has been planted within your soul through eons of time. Allow it freedom to sprout and grow into its full beauty. Like the rose, watch it unfold.</p>
<p>Take a moment and reflect, “What is beauty?” For each one of you beauty may be described differently.</p>
<ul>
<li>How do you feel when you are in the presence of beauty?</li>
<li>What emotions do you feel?</li>
<li>Are there physical sensations?</li>
<li>Do you allow yourself to feel the full expression of beauty or is beauty more of an intellectual exercise for you?</li>
<li>What do you think and feel about yourself in relationship to beauty?</li>
<li>In other words, are you beautiful? If not, why not?</li>
<li>What do others tell you about yourself?</li>
<li> If they can see the beauty within you, why can’t you?</li>
</ul>
<p>These questions are being asked now to plant seeds and create awareness. Your answers and awareness may evolve as you continue to reflect upon the questions over a period of days, months and years. No one has a set time for awareness to develop. In fact, once you think you have the answer you may find that more hidden depths or layers will appear, much like roots that have spread which reveal other awareness and other insights.</p>
<p>These questions are not meant as forms of judgment. Once these seeds germinate within and begin to sprout you may find answers that are freeing, raising other questions. It is part of the process, the process of nurturing and growth. It is how your inner garden grows.</p>
<p>Think of this stage as one of preparation. You, the gardener, are preparing the soil, so to speak. What are the nutrients, environment and frequencies that are needed to care for your garden? What will you plant? What type of soil is needed?</p>
<p>Think of it this way. In your   day-to-day life of family, business and other priorities and activities, how do you nurture yourself? For example, what environment do you work and live in? What types of thoughts, words and activities do you participate in? What types of people are in your circle of friends and associates? Do you love your work? Do you feel passion and joy in each moment of your existence?</p>
<h3>Watch Your Seed Mature Into Full Bloom</h3>
<p>What do you believe about your life? Do you believe you have the power to change it and to create a life of your dreams? Do you believe that you can plant anything in your garden and grow it into full maturity watching the seeds sprout and mature into full bloom? If you don’t have the power to be the master of your life, the master gardener, then who does?</p>
<p>See what is ready to awaken within you. Certainly it is the awakening of your own inner power, the power to create the life you dream about, the life you can co-create with God.</p>
<p>With Great Love &amp; Light,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wanted to share an article called: &#8220;<b>Reclaim Your Power</b> Through Your Infinite Heart&#8221; that is on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://EzineArticles.com/6294019" target="_blank">EzineArticles.com</a> We have been talking about on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/healerandguide" target="_blank">Facebook</a> on How To Learn To Be&#8230; and this article helps you do that&#8230; Enjoy!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How do you Reclaim Your Power<br />
through your Infinite Heart?</h2>
<p>You might even wonder what the infinite heart is. Let me explain. Have you ever had an &#8220;AhHa&#8221; moment? You know the moments when all of a sudden something comes clear and the light bulb goes on so to speak? I recently attended a seminar where several light bulbs lit up for me!</p>
<p>I was sitting in the audience and listening to the speaker, Dr. Richard Bartlett, talk about going into the heart space. When we access information from our hearts we are in a neutral and expansive space. Another image that he shared was of the brain. I loved it. He invited us to think of the brain as the hardware in a computer and the infinite information that is available throughout time and space as the software.</p>
<p>The goal is to quiet our left brains so that our right brains can receive limitless information with the help of our highest self and guides, bringing the information into our heart space. I totally understood this and thought, this is what I recommend to clients, move from head and thought into the heart space. New language came to help explain the process.</p>
<p>I was tracking and then the AhHa came. Dr. Richard Bartlett went on to say, how many people really know what being in the heart feels like? All of a sudden I got it and thought, of course there are a lot of people who don&#8217;t know what being in the heart feels like. How do I know? I see many clients and know many subtle energy practitioners who have closed their hearts for a variety of reasons. Part of growth and expansion includes quieting thoughts and opening the heart space to receive infinite wisdom, knowledge and information that is available to everyone.</p>
<p>I began to think about how we access the heart space. Meditation certainly works to quiet thoughts and provides a way to enter the heart space and achieve inner stillness. For those of you who like to meditate, ENJOY! I personally find meditation enjoyable. When I&#8217;m in the quiet stillness of my inner sacred space I find answers and clarity. All is possible. Runners describe a similar feeling when they are in the &#8220;zone&#8221;. For those of you who find it more challenging to reach an inner stillness where infinite information is available to access I suggest trying the following:</p>
<p>First, think of an activity or something that you truly enjoy. For example, if you like to dance you can imagine a dance floor in the center of your chest, your heart space-a place that is not your physical heart but one that some might call your &#8220;high heart&#8221;. Now, imagine dancing down into your heart space. How fun! Begin at the top of your head through your brain, down your neck and through your throat into your chest arriving at the dance floor of your choice.</p>
<p>Feel the amazing joy and peace once you arrive. Know that this feeling is yours to always access. It is a tangible way to move from your head and thought to an inner sacred space where thought can quiet easily. You might find dancing is not your favorite so pick something you love like cooking, skiing, running, meeting a loved one, or performing on stage! Use your imagination to create something that is uniquely yours!</p>
<p>Yes, it is yours to own and create. The information, wisdom, and knowledge that is available for you to access is limitless. Before you begin your descent into your infinite heart create an intention, ask a question, or ask the universe or God what serves your greatest good to know right now. Remember, all is possible when limitations are released. Journal what comes after your quiet experience and be delighted and amazed!</p>
<p>I love to journey with people who are ready to reclaim their power; people who remember that each one of us is a creator, creating in each and every moment &#8212; creating our own realities; people who are ready to grow and expand their awareness and consciousness and may not know exactly how to move forward; as well as people who are ready to shift, change and transform. Where is your journey taking you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things that I have noticed recently with people I meet or clients that I see is what I will call a state of not feeling or being grounded. What does this mean to me? It’s a sense and feeling that comes from the subtle energy that surrounds a person that makes me feel like they are “flying”; or it feels like there is fogginess in their brain&#8211;there is difficulty finding clarity. There are some whose thoughts feel scattered and racing like a hamster on a wheel&#8211;finding it hard to focus. Then there are people who have so much going on without a free moment to spare that stress and tension are a way of being&#8211;noticeably carried in their body. </p>
<p>Have you ever felt like this? Would you like to talk about simple ways that can help you feel more grounded and fully present in your body? I believe that we are invited to remember and experience being fully present in our bodies right now. As we learn to trust and use all of our senses and intuition to access useful information, wisdom and knowledge from all time and space we can create and bring into form what our heart’s desire. It doesn’t matter whether we are creating relationships, career choices, personal growth, health, or abundance. It’s when we are grounded and in our bodies that creation of something tangible takes place.</p>
<p>Join Victoria from 5:30p-6p on Tuesdays and Thursdays at <a target="blank", href="http://www.stormwisdom.com/">Storm Wisdom</a> to talk about helpful ways to ground and feel present in your body. Some of these simple tools include using: breathing techniques, sprays, visualization, flower essences, and crystals. You may also have ways that work for you that you would like to share. I look forward to seeing and talking to you. This is a free service.</p>
<p>With Love &#038; Light,</p>
<p>Victoria</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gisela Arenas, my teaching partner, and I have been offering a series of classes recently entitled <a title="Change Your Beliefs... Change Your Life" href="http://www.stormwisdom.com/calendar/eventdetails.php?id=88vqtinuscelh4kpea5gifk0cg&amp;calendar=gov82e573kq4fun9d7kplqc2n8&amp;start=1257008400&amp;end=1257019200" target="_blank">Change Your Beliefs…Change Your Life </a>– Aligning with Abundance, Prosperity, Wealth and Success. There has been much written and presented about the Law of Attraction in recent months. Our approach has been somewhat different. We have created tools and experiences that assist people in understanding that often times there is conflict in what we want to create in our lives. Often our beliefs don’t support the life we want to live. For example, when we ask a participant to test for a yes or no response to, “I believe I deserve abundance, prosperity, wealth and success in my life” the response is often NO! We find that this is counter to what their conscious mind believes.</p>
<p>So, what is the point, you ask? The point is that often times what we think we believe and what we truly believe in our bodies, minds or cellular consciousness are not in alignment. Ooops. Through an approach of aligning beliefs and use of releasing tools we have found that people are able to release blocks and resistance to what they want to create. It is important to accept and allow yourself to be right where you are without judging or beating yourself up. Feel gratitude for the awareness. Because your thoughts are powerful energy forms, when they change in the form of beliefs it is possible to change your life! How cool is that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only time we have is NOW, isn’t it? I KNOW this and I FEEL it even more deeply in this moment. I am consciously aware of this truth as I have been called upon to support dear family friends who have lost a teenage son unexpectedly. Not only has this loss affected this family, others have been affected as well, including friends of the family, their sons’ friends, friends of siblings, etc. One of those affected has been my own son. I’ve seen shock and disbelief of the unexpected settle in, observed beliefs of invincibility shattered, and listened to and witnessed the grace of gratitude and love that is held for this beautiful soul by so many.</p>
<p>As the questions come and understanding and reasons are sought, I am reminded how precious each moment is. It is in this moment NOW that I am creator, choosing and creating my next moment?my future. I am reminded that there is no time and space and we are eternal beings even when our human forms no longer serve us. Our loved ones are not gone really; they have changed form and are now on to their next experience. This doesn’t mean that we cannot feel sadness and grieve for their human presence however; it creates an opportunity to celebrate the life, love and gratitude for this precious soul.</p>
<p>I am reminded that we choose our time of leaving. I am also reminded that we are not alone. Mother-Father God/Creator/Spirit/Source/All That is One, Archangels, Angels, Ascended Masters, other Beings of Light, Medicine Men and Women of the Light and Ancestors anxiously await our call for support, guidance, and assistance. We are never alone or separated. How comforting and beautiful this is.</p>
<p>I am reminded how important it is to keep the channels of communication open. Share thoughts and beliefs of life, death and Mother-Father God/Creator/Spirit/Source/All That is One. NOW is the time for these conversations. NOW is the time to tell others how much they are loved. NOW is the time to REMEMBER that you are a precious child of God and the Universe, always have been and always will be; one who is loved unconditionally and beyond all measure. NOW is the time to create your next moment. What will it be?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All is well! The universe and precious Mother Earth continue to shift. Much is shifting within each and every life-form on this planet. How gloriously beautiful it is! How are the shifts going within your universe? Each one of you is a microcosm of what is going on around you, are you not? Remember, Dear Ones, you always have CHOICE – CHOICE to leave behind old and outdated beliefs and preconceptions – CHOICE to release negative thoughts, actions, energies and anything which no longer serves your greatest good. You have the CHOICE to embrace ALL that is Light and LOVE – ALL that heals and assists with expansion of consciousness – ALL that serves God/Creator/Spirit/Source.</p>
<p>You have the CHOICE To Forgive, Allow, Accept and Own the BEAUTY of who you are – choosing to live your life as the full expression of your Divine self, co-creating in each and every moment that which serves the greatest good. You have the CHOICE to remain static and stay right where you are in all aspects of the life you have created. Some of the CHOICES are presented each day. They seem so simple; yet, we can make them very complex, can’t we? What CHOICES are you making in each moment? Are your CHOICES based on fear or LOVE, trusting in the Creator? What you CHOOSE NOW is what manifests in the next moment. Let go of the past and remain present for it is in the present that creation occurs in each and every moment.</p>
<p>During this time of shifting listen to your heart for it is within your heart that much truth is received. It is here when your mind is quiet that your true self speaks. Wisdom is within. It is time to journey within for truth and guidance letting go of the need and desire to find it externally. “Peace begins within” as stated by Thich Nhat Hanh, a beloved monk and author. Journey within, Dear Ones, for it is here that you will find peace first, love first, compassion first, hope first and once these are found such JOY and LOVE will explode from your heart, not only for others, but for yourself. Be kind to yourself first, healing yourself first and then all else will be seen clearly. “Peace begins within.” Journey within, Dear and Precious Children of God/Creator/Spirit/Source and find the truth. It is time!</p>
<p>This spiritual healing wisdom message was shared with me today during my meditation with the Ascended Masters and Archangels. I am grateful and feel blessed for the truths that are so freely shared.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I sit and ask for guidance today I am reminded that so many of us seem to be processing and releasing lots of &#8220;stuff&#8221; right now. I&#8217;m visualizing an infinite cosmic trash bin to dump the &#8220;stuff&#8221; in right now. Spirit reminded me that this is all perfect. It is time to release the last bits of all that no longer serves us and not &#8220;attach&#8221; to the processing. Embrace it with love and gratitude for what it shows us and then let it go and allow the process to complete.</p>
<p>It is time for us to &#8220;let go&#8221; of relying on logic and reason and move into our hearts and trust our Divine Guidance within. It is time to remember that we are powerful spiritual beings and release the limiting beliefs that we have accepted.</p>
<p>It is time for us to allow, own and accept that we are creators and have never been separated from Source in every fiber and cell of our being. Own what we are creating now by our thoughts, words and actions. Own that we can create change as well. It is time to &#8220;step up to the plate&#8221; and do our part to assist humanity and precious Mother Earth. What are you creating right now?</p>
<p>With Love and Light,</p>
<p>Victoria</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">As a Spiritual Coach, Healer, Speaker and Teacher I often meet with people who sense or feel that there is &#8220;something more,” something that hasn&#8217;t been finished &#8211; something that seems to be missing in their life. This is true for individuals who seem to &#8220;have it all&#8221; as well as those who appear to &#8220;struggle&#8221; in each moment. What I have found is that these feelings often are symptomatic of a Spiritual Awakening that is going on deep within the soul. The soul cries out and yearns to emerge and share the wisdom and knowing of something far greater than is currently being expressed. <span> </span>It is a knowing that we are all spiritual beings having human experiences that will grow and expand consciousness. It is a knowing that is ready to expand the spark of &#8220;Light&#8221; within that aids and assists the individual journey of <em>remembering. </em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">It is the desire to connect or reconnect with Source/God/Creator/Spirit, whatever you name the ONE. </span></em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial;">We are beautiful children of God, children of Light and LOVE. Our soul cries out to release all feelings of separation, feelings that it has been separated from the Divine when truly this feeling of separation has been nothing but an illusion. It is an illusion that our mind has created for there never has been nor will there ever be a separation between us and the Divine for we are beautiful children of God and the Divine is within us. What if you felt in each moment the power of who you are?<span> </span>What if your lens for living life became a lens of unconditional love, forgiveness, gratitude and service how would your life and choices change? </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial;">One of the great Spiritual Teachers is Nelson Mandella&#8230; Please enjoy reading his shared wisdom of Claiming Your Light from his 1994 inaugural speech.</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CLAIMING YOUR LIGHT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,<br />
our deepest fear is that<br />
we are powerful beyond measure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It is our Light, not our darkness<br />
that most frighten us.<br />
We ask ourselves, who am I<br />
to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Actually, who are you not to be?<br />
You are a Child of God.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your playing small doesn&#8217;t serve the world.<br />
There is nothing enlightened about<br />
shrinking so that other people<br />
won&#8217;t feel insecure around you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We were born to make manifest<br />
The Glory of God that is within us.<br />
It&#8217;s not just in some of us;<br />
it&#8217;s in everyone and as we let our light shine<br />
we unconsciously give other people<br />
permission to do the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As we are liberated from our fear,<br />
our presence automatically liberates others.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Nelson Mandela &#8211; 1994 &#8211; Inaugural Speech</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Knowing who you are and why you are here is to <a href="http://evolvingjourneysblog.com/products/">Reclaim Your Power</a> and shine your light!</p>
