February 29th. A day that comes once every 4 years. A leap year. A reminder that you have the ability to leap towards what is most meaningful to you, regardless of how the year began.
Of course, you can leap at any moment of your life, but the reminders are always blessed invitations to embodying what it is we say we desire...
I centered my thoughts on the intention I have carried for years now: heart purification. I remembered just how impactful the work of heart purification I’ve developed has been to me and to others and how it has led me into a deeper space to engage the healing this year brings to me.
There is more light I am able to access because my heart was purified.
I found more wisdom, more grace, more peace, more space as I began to expand beyond the limits of the past.
When relationships began to fall away, there was a moment a dear sister friend said, "Sis, you've been working intentionally on purifying your heart. there is no way that things that are not in alignment can remain. And sometimes people will no longer be able to *see* or *hear* you the way they have before because you have purified so much."
You may find yourself out of alignment, unable to recognize others or parts of yourself, in beautiful ways. This can be disorienting and exciting at the same time. It may be a blessed invitation to leap.
Sometimes you have to release others and yourself with the acknowledgment of grace and gratitude. Sometimes the leap is an uncertain step forward. You must move.
Grace flows when you recognize your own humanity and see another’s humanity. Remembering that people can only love and understand from their own level of understanding.
We are all journeying at different paces and levels of understanding. Acknowledge this with gratitude for who and where you are, and what is to come when you leap.
Is there something that you need to resolve?
Is there someone you need to release?
Are you aware of the power you have in engaging this space, the power that exists for you to open your heart and empty it?
What are you feeling called to leap towards or from?
During my time of self reiki, I moved my hands to the lower heart and saw very tiny speckles of sediment. These tiny pieces gathering together, settled at the bottom of the heart. If you imagine that V at the bottom, there they all were. Instead of reacting with pressure, I lovingly held my heart. I have time to remove every tiny particle. I am worthy of that kind of love. I will be pure, I proclaim. I look at the pieces and imagine where they came from.
These were not huge pieces. Tiny grains of sand left over from who knows what after near 4 decades of living.
I release and then I leap. I leap and something is released. I am aware, it repeats. This is the art of living and loving. An intentional heart purification.
How is your heart? What are you leaping towards?
A heart purification practice for you and those you share reciprocal* love with:
Would you place your hand over your high heart and low heart and send love there?
If you have a partner, would you practice that together? Hands on each other’s hearts.
If you have babies, place one hand on the front of the chest and the other on the back. Give them healing breath too, for all they've experienced in a short time without the language or tools to express.
Do you need to get something right within you?
Do you need to get something right with someone else?
Run after all that is holy and pure.
LEAP.
A purified heart is yours.
Grace and peace to you, always. Thank you for reading.
If you do the practice, I’d love to hear from you in the comments as well as what you are leaping towards or from in this season.
*Be intentional in this season about sacred connection with those who are reciprocal with their love.
