Walking Your Path of Heart
My spirits tell me that "Asking for help invites a connection."
In learning how true this is, I see that connection involves many sweet qualities--among them openness, reciprocity, non-attachment, curiosity, receptivity, courage, gratitude, and ease. For me, connection is also a path of heart--an opportunity to be fully loving, present, and compassionate.
Which brings me to Valentine's Day.
In this message I want to give you two delicious gifts.
One is a simple, sweet practice you can use with your loved ones to invite connection and deepen your alignment.
The other is an inspirational, flowering conversation between me and Joanna Harcourt Smith of Future Primitive about how to make heart-felt connections with nature; exchange energy with the Earth; and attune to the natural rhythms surrounding you.
Breathing into Alignment: A Gift for You and Your Valentine
This simple and wonderful way to connect and align energetically involves breathing together.
It's a quick and easy way to shift together so that whatever project you're doing--conversation, lovemaking, problem solving--flows seamlessly. It's especially useful when you feel out of sorts with a loved one, whether child, partner, friend, or pet.
The focus of truly paying attention to the other's breathing takes you out of your mental constructs and into the arising and passing of breath, like waves. It helps you bring yourself back into full presence in the moment and into awareness of all that is.
It is best done together, yet you can do your breathing part without the other person even noticing (I often align with my husband as we are falling asleep).
When centering, calming down, and coming into internal alignment are what's needed, this breath practice works wonders. It calms you, opens your heart, and helps you remember the love you feel.
When the other person breathes out, you breathe in. When the other person breathes in, you breathe out, matching your rhythms.
Continue breathing together until your heart slows, your belly calms, your vision expands, and you feel again the deep resonance you have together.

The Heart of the Universe: A Conversation
May this talk inspire and excite you about the possibilities for connecting and walking the path of heart!
And please share with friends. Our best connections still happen person-to-person. Everyone who is touched by connection earth, soul, and heart connection deepens their contribution to the web we weave together. Listen.
Blessings of the burgeoning spring,
