Navigating from the heart is about learning to use our internal guidance to guide our creative activities. The heart is the symbol of our creative life energy or our creative spirit. Navigating from the heart is learning how to focus on the flow of our creative life energy that arises from the intention we hold and access the awareness and knowledge available to us through our creative spirit to navigate the unknown of a creative endeavor. It needs to be remembered that any true creative endeavor takes us into the unknown and mind is of limited use to create what we desire. The question is, “What does navigating from the heart and/or following our internal guidance look like in a creative endeavor?”

Navigating from the heart and/or following our internal guidance is actually a dance. It is a dance between what mind presents and what we feel. However, we are not always consciously aware of what we feel. To navigate from the heart is to move our conscious awareness into what is symbolized in the heart and open ourselves to feel the flow of energy generated by the intention we hold. It is about becoming fully present with the experience to fulfill and honor the intention that created it. We then need to allow our intuitive guidance to arise from that flow of energy and the consciously stepping into mind. We step into mind to honor the intuitive guidance presented by mind and choose to act in a way to create the next experience that leads us to manifest what we desire to create.

What occurs here is the intention we hold creates a flow of energy which we sense but we will not consciously feel. Depending on the threshold for feeling, we may or may not be consciously aware of what we feel as a result of the intention we hold. Nevertheless, our being senses the flow of energy. In asking our intuitive guidance to align with that flow of energy to create what we desire we will get a thought, idea or an image of what we need to do to align with that energy. We then need to act to create an experience of that insight whether it be a thought, idea or image. As with any experience, when we have the experience we can become distracted from our focus by responding to what arises in the experience. Often memories of past pain surface that limit the freedom we have to respond to what is presented and/or mind presents it judgements and opinions about what is being experienced which distract us from remaining focused.

What arises as we move to create the experience of what our intuitive guidance presents are the conscious, subconscious and unconscious excuses, reasons, influences, obstructions, beliefs and other things which divert, rob or scatter the flow of our creative life energy or otherwise prevent us from creating what we desire to experience. Usually we must work through what the conscious, subconscious and unconscious presents by asking our intuitive guidance how to address them or seek appropriated counseling as determined by our mind. After we work through them, assuming we have not been distracted, we can have the experience we set out to create based on the intuitive guidance we received. Unless we manifest our intention in honoring and following our intuitive guidance after we create the experience presented by our intuitive guidance, we the need to consciously go back into our mind, remember our intention and again focus on the feeling we wish to create. We then again ask our intuitive guidance, what we need to do to again align with the flow of energy for what we wish to create. Again another image, thought or idea will arise as do more conscious, subconscious and/or unconscious issues and we start the dance all over again . We continue the same process again and again spiraling toward manifesting our intention as we peal away the obstructions as we would the peal the layers of an onion until we manifest what we desire.
