3.         Micro-practice: 

Heartful Listening:

 

Heartful listening is the gift of my full attention and presence to the person I am listening to. During heartful listening, I can node, use my body language to interact but I do not speak.

 


4.         Heartfulness practice: 

Practice the Heartfulness meditation, if possible in the morning, daily, for 20-30 minutes. 

 

Gently close your eyes and relax.

 

Turn your attention inwards and take a moment to observe yourself. Make a gentle suggestion that the source of light already present in your heart is illuminating it from within and drawing you in.

 

Do this in a gentle and natural way. There is no need to concentrate. If you find your awareness drifting to other thoughts, gently come back to the idea of the light in your heart.

 

Feel immersed in the light in your heart, and let yourself become absorbed.

 

Remaining still and quiet, rest there for as long as you want, until you feel ready to come out.

 


5. Journaling prompt: 

You can set a timer for 3 to 7 minutes and just allow your pen to flow freely, letting your thoughts be captured by your journal. Just write the prompt below and allow yourself to be surprised, writing continuously without a filter. The only "rule" is not to stop writing during the time of the exercise, even if the writing "moves" in a different direction from the initial prompt. Ready? Let it flow...

 “I feel in flow and creative when…”
