Last week I wrote a book review on ‘The Secret of Quantum Living by Frank Kinslow’. The book explains how to slow down and even stop your thoughts so to have access to the real you. The book outlined how to be present with the ‘you’ that can watch/observe thoughts rather than get sucked into them. By accessing this ‘you’ the author claims that you can heal yourself and others from physical and mental issues (Read the review here)
This past Saturday I went to London to see two authors speak. The first was Ali Campbell, who wrote: Just Get On With It!: A Caring, Compassionate Kick Up the Ass! and the second was Greg Braden, the author of The Divine Matrix, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief and others. (His new book is Deep Truth – just came out!)
My main motivation for going was to see Braden as I’ve found all of his books to be extremely interesting. I like the way that he uses science to apply to my logical mind and spirituality to appeal to my heart.
Anyhooo, I didn’t know who Ali Campbell was – I booked to see him speak as he was one of the many authors that wasn’t yet sold out.
As fate would have it, the majority of his talk centred around moving from your head to your heart! With his easy-going comedic style, the Scottish author had a message that was perfect for me – and based on the reaction from the rest of the audience I’m sure everyone benefited from his talk.
Ali made a joke that people that read all the self-help books end up at talks like his…they’re all after an answer. Isn’t that true? Well, the answer he provided seems to be similar to Frank Kinslow and the author I went to in the afternoon (Greg Braden) – it’s all about getting out of your head and into your heart.
In fact, during Braden’s talk he mentioned that the old sages explained that the longest journey is 18 inches! That’s the distance from your head to your heart. Is that awesome or what?
During both talks the authors had us close our eyes and feel what it was to be centred in our heart. In Braden’s talk he explained that actually feeling your heart – putting your hand over it or holding a prayer position with your thumbs touching it – helps to connect. Additionally Braden explained that music helps to get your head out and your heart in.
Personally, I felt very relaxed when we did the exercises but I’m not sure if I was in my heart or not. I think that my head might have been thinking about my heart?!?!? After reading books/seeing speakers that say you can heal yourself and others by connecting to your soul and/or heart you want to know how to do it…but I’m not sure if I get it. (Kim – you’re thinking too much!!! Stop it)
I feel silly admitting to this but yesterday my hubby kept sniffling and sneezing. So while we were in the car I held his hand and went into my heart (maybe) clearing myself of thoughts and focusing on my bliss feeling. As a result hubby seemed to get worse. Yikes.
Although I love spiritual stuff I must be a scientist at heart – I want to believe in these things but if I can’t prove it to myself what am I to do? Perhaps it’s not about proving anything…perhaps I just have to believe and leave it at that.
