—when our hearts decide
To live a life that we love often comes with a lot of being brave. When we realise this is our life to live, on our terms, it is always us that is co creating our life, our future.
“What if it all works out better than I can ever imagine?”
“Listen to your heart — it truly knows the most beautiful way ahead."
—Shari Ingleton
Often there comes a pain point. A moment in time that makes us make the change that we have been thinking about, hoping for or maybe one that was our worst nightmare — it is now here, and move forward we must!
If your heart made a decision today, what would it be?
Our hearts and intuition always know the answers, they hold all our innate wisdom, the keys to all the doors and dreams that we want to open. Sometimes there are detours, hard decisions and heartbreaks involved, sometimes it is pure love, excitement and joy — sometimes it can be a mix of both.
Every moment we have in life is leading us to the next, then the next. We always have a choice. We can take the easier option, which often comes with much more long term pain, or we can face our fears and circumstances head on with unconditional love and lean into being brave with our lives and our choices, speaking our truths and saying no to what is not serving us, creating space for all the full body, aligned YES’S to have somewhere to land, a place to find us, when the timing is just right.
The thing is when our heart makes a decision, the plan is put in motion. It may take no time at all or it may take many years — but our heart never forgets when it has committed to and made a decision.
A seed that is planted in our hearts when we make a decision will always sprout when the environment is ready, when the alignment is just right and when we are so ready to receive.
This year has shown me just how true this is. 15 years ago, late one night on a warm evening, I layed on our trampoline and looked up at the stars. I had recently become a single mum and while I was still on our beautiful property, my world was falling apart and I had no way of knowing then how it would all work out. The stars became my refuge, it was as if with every evening laying there soaking up the majestic stars, reminding me somehow that I was just the smallest blimp in the universe, my heart made a decision and I would never be the same again.
My heart made a decision that I would be the best Mum and person I could be, that I would dive right into the hurts and the heartbreaks and face whatever lied ahead with unconditional love. I would mend, heal and integrate all the lessons and alchemise this whole situation into something that truly happened for me, not to me. I took back my power. I committed so deeply to walking this path of self discovery and working out who I was and what it was that I truly wanted.
That night on the trampoline, I knew that one day I would speak on stages, have a beautiful heart and soul led business that would help other women to find their inner spark and alchemise all the heartbreak and hurt that life had dealt them, into the thing that put them on their best and most beautiful life path. It took me 15 years to realise that I have actively done this, following my hearts desires all while raising three of the world’s most incredible young men. I have built the business and continue to let it grow and expand just as it needs to. I have written a book. I have spoken on stage about the power of our hearts making a decision. I have studied, embodied, shared, created and been so brave, I lean in when it feels really uncomfortable, especially when I KNOW so deeply that this is what is so right for me.
The lessons I have learnt, the way I continue to show up for myself and my boys is something that I am so proud of and no matter what, we course correct, we lean in, we keep moving forward in the faith in knowing it is all working out far more wonderfully than we can know now. I am starting to see so many beautiful sprouts from ALL the seeds I have planted beginning to germinate. That deep inner knowing and listening to my heart and intuition has lead me to such a beautiful place. One where there is deep inner peace, being so connected and aligned with who I am and what I love. Saying YES to all the things that I love and get to share. it is often hard to put into words what it is I do — above all I am a Mum to my three incredible young men, founder of Gold Soul Therapy — a heart and soul led business that is filled with energy healing, kinesiology, bio-resonance, reiki, mindful yoga, sound, NLP, 1:1 sessions, the bespoke Bloom transformational journey, online courses, group workshops and events. All leading us back to our hearts, back to our centre.
To feel lighter. To bring our body, mind, heart and soul back into balance.
To re-ignite and turn up our inner spark, our inner light and share it with the world.
The inner work is not easy. It comes with shining a big bright light into so many parts of us that we have hidden. What I do know to be true though, is once it’s out in the light, it can be loved, cleared, embraced and no longer feared. Facing our fears with unconditional love — always. It truly is the way of transformation and the more we can do this, the more peace and aligned we feel. The more we can love all the parts of who we are, the more love that can overflow out into the world and into the hearts of everyone that we love most.
Life is so simple yet we have this innate way of making it complicated.
Our heart already knows and by connecting back into our hearts and our intuition, we put ourselves into the slipstream, the flow of life and that takes us far further and far faster and any kind of force or push ever will. The magic happens, the opportunities seem to appear out of nowhere, the synchronicities land, when the alignment is just right.
There is so much changing in our world right now, there is no better time to raise our vibration and expand our capacity to love — the ripple effect is so huge!!! The more we have, the more we can share. I feel so honoured to walk this journey with you.
Here’s to letting our hearts lead the way and honouring all our deepest and most wonderful hearts desires and decisions.
Sending so much love xxx
