Heart of the matter

Today i feel the stretch of the apparent disconnect between heart and head/mind.

In the new age movement we talk a lot about living from the heart, and i am inclined to agree, and, it's very difficult, well at least for me.

I understand the theory and knowledge behind the thought, and i still find it very difficult, as i believe it requires tuning into ones self in a way that is fitting to embodying a deep level of sensitivity and a propensity for slowing down, to really feel the right movements for the soul.

Living in today's world where speed and effectiveness are rated high on the human profile of an industrious person , sensitivity gets easily neglected.

It is in my opinion very difficult to stay open to 'the flow of life' = (people, reactions, emotions, stress, cars, traffic, noise, machines, intense pollutions, etc), and breath in and remain present and attuned to oneself.

i offer no remedy as i really struggle with this balance myself. Living in a system that seems bent on forcing we humans into desensitising, and morphing into being more like robots than attuned to natural living is deeply stressful for our nervous systems; and obviously it depends on what we do, how we live, where and our work orientation, but still, if you look around you, in todays world, can you really say this is what you always wanted?.
