As you move through the script, you might highlight the segment you are working on (or scroll) so that you can quickly find your place in the script to resume after you pause.  I suggest that you close your eyes and touch your heart during the pauses.  Pause for as long as it feels right, until you have clarity about what has been expressed or asked.

The italicized words here are the words of the author to you.

Non-italicized words are the ones you are asked to contemplate: try them on for feel as potential beliefs.

A facet of my spiritual philosophy is that everyone I experience, every witnessing of the world and its creatures, is a teacher.  Often, our teachers mirror for us the issues which we are challenged to handle.

The point of this small exercise is to see the gift in each person, in each experience that we have in this world. Some gifts are easy to see and feel:  The sensual, eager lover, the snow-capped mountain peak, the singing of birds.   Other gifts are a bit more disguised:  the offended partner, the fender bender, the snowstorm when you are on the highway....

This latter type of  "challenging" gift is sometimes tougher to see as positive.  Yet, there is a way to do this.  It is by placing your hand on your heart, feeling its  power, and then identifying with it.   Feeling it as who you are.

I am the loving will of my heart.

I ask you to consider the possibility, just for this exercise, that your heart is both the seat of your true power and that it is also equipped with a PAUSE BUTTON .

By placing your hand on your heart, you are empowered to quiet the workings of the mind and tune into the joy, the trust, the courage and the presence that is available to you when you tune into your Self.  Self with a Capital S.

As you place your hand......either one.... on your heart, feel its power and wisdom.

I contemplate: Is heart wisdom more of who I am than any wisdom to be found in my head?

I continue to consider with my heart:

Is heart wisdom more defining of who I am than any wisdom to be found in my head? 

Do I trust the wisdom of my heart?

How can I build this trust?

Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.  One brave deed is worth a thousand books.
