This is micro-practice is an extension of “Heart Tech – Handing Over The Wheel” and is a companion post to the Quick Brain-Body Reset which explains the benefits of heart-brain coherence.
Steps:
- Start by getting your heart in the driver’s seat by following the steps in “Heart Tech – Handing Over The Wheel” post: Bringing your attention to the area of your heart; allowing your attention to deepen into the centre of the heart; feeling / imagining – if your consciousness was a car, does it feel as if your brain is driving it…or your heart? [hint: for almost everyone its the brain]; then imagining that your brain hands over the steering wheel (completely) to your heart;
- then bring up a decision or question;
- then imagine coming to a fork in the road with the possible responses (recently I had a question that involved 4 possible responses and so I imagined the road splitting into four possible roads), and
- allow the heart to drive your car down the road it wants to go down.
- Note the decision this implies based on the choices each path represented.
Guidance:
- Ensure the heart does the driving, with a feeling that the brain is in the backseat observing;
- There should be a feeling of neutral curiosity as you approach the fork – counter to what you might think, if there is any desire, preference or emotion then its not likely that the heart is really driving;
- If this isn’t working, consider going back to the core “Heart Tech – Handing Over The Wheel” practice and noticing if the hand-off of the steering wheel is complete, or if the brain is still keeping one hand (or finger) on the wheel.
Give it a try – you have nothing to lose. We have found that this deep experiential imagining can open up an otherwise contracted mind to greater creativity, intuition, flow and easier decision-making.
