Heart-based living Real Time Heart-Based

It is evident that relationships today can be challenging for all sorts of reasons. Past hurts, and ways we have come to behave in relationships, can affect the quality of our engagement and often can create situations that can harm both parties involved. 
This situation is one that we often hear about, so what is a heart-based living approach for both parties in this situation. 

We had a concern from someone who mentioned they were upset about a friend who no longer contacted them in the same way, and they were quite distressed about it. 
Nigel and Tricia spoke about this situation, and brought some Heart-Based Living approaches to it, which hopefully if you are experiencing something similar, you may find something helpful to observe in your own situation and practice in your life. 
Feel free to contact us or visit our website to ask any question that you have so we can bring a podcast related to it. 

How do we live from the heart? 
Part of that is about being able to freely express what is in your heart. So how do we do that, without falling into patterns that takes us away from bringing care to ourselves and others? 
In this chat, we look at noticing the difference with expression and the repetitive unhelpful and often negative narratives, we tend to stay in. 
Noticing, may be another step in moving away from unhelpful practices and moving towards more helpful ones. 
What do you feel about this? 

Heart-Based Living and Promises 
If we are truly ready to move to Heart-Based Living, looking at ‘words’ and their meanings and the impact they have on the way we live, is helpful. 
We decided to look at the word ‘promise’ and some of the challenges this brings. 
We look at alternative ways of expressing which includes stating an intention rather than a promise. Sometimes what you ‘promise’ may not be the best course of action, as things can change in any one moment. 
What do you feel about this notion of ‘promise’. 

If we aim to get to the heart of the matter, with what matters, it is helpful to challenge misconceptions and habits we have come to see as ‘just the way it is’. 
So this chat is around ‘busyness’. 
So often we hear or say ourselves, ‘I’m so busy’ in a way that suggests we’re missing out on something else more important because of it. 
If that is the case, rather than ‘so busy’, how would it feel to respond with ‘I’m giving my energy and time to what matters and is important to me’? 
Ah, that would be wonderful! 
So, how can that really happen? What could we become more aware of, that could assist us living more this way. 
This may be another helpful practice towards Heart-Based Living. We’d love to hear how you go with it. 

While finding meaning can have its benefits, creating meaning also comes with some challenges. Nowadays we are exposed to so much through various outlets, that may generate meanings that lead to actions and often non action, both of which may not serve us well.
Meaning as we know is derived from our lived experience, and as we all experience life differently, finding common meaning, is less likely. 
In this podcast Tricia and Nigel, talk about a heart-based living approach, that highlights an alternative approach in moments, when our meaning making is leading us away from our hearts, what we want and what we love. 
Tricia and Nigel run a regular zoom expression session to engage in the practice of increasing awareness around meaning making and developing the skills of honest expression.
