Today’s world presents a multitude of challenges on every front. The pace of life, the amount of information, and the number of choices can often be overwhelming. And there is so much uncertainty. More and more, we need something we can absolutely depend upon day to day, no matter what.

What can you really depend on?  The most dependable is Heart Presence, which lives within each of us, waiting to be awakened. Heart Presence is somewhat like another mind—not a thinking mind, a knowing mind. When Heart Presence is awakened, it is found deep in the mid-chest. Some synonyms of Heart Presence are authentic self, pure consciousness, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Nature, formlessness.

Within the pure consciousness of Heart Presence, we know without doubt our most enlightened course of learning and action. This knowing mind informs us with a voice, one that is quieter yet somehow more powerful than ordinary sound. Some people refer to it as of the voice of God. I prefer the term “Heart Presence” because it implies something that is practical as well as spiritual.

Most of you have already experienced some aspects of Heart Presence. I’m sure that in this moment you can recognize your yearning to live its attributes: love, peace, joy, compassion, hope, beauty, clarity, connection and trust. Some of you also may yearn for God, for meaning, for an expanded life.

Our yearning to live a more expansive existence is always present, and it is an essential element in Heart Presence. I believe that we are designed to follow this yearning and to awaken our Heart Presence. Acknowledging our yearning is a step toward awakening.

Our Heart Presence is an absolutely reliable guide because it is our True Self. I feel that living in today’s world requires hearing and responding to this voice, which can help us navigate all aspects of our lives with greater joy and ease.

How can you tap into Heart Presence? In the midst of distraction, busy-ness, or chaos, use true choice. Choose to love, to be compassionate, to see the beauty in life. Ask to Awaken. Ask to recognize your Heart Presence and hear its voice. I encourage those of you who are comfortable with prayer to pray—talk to God, Spirit, or the Universe. Create a practice and build it into your day. True choice, asking, prayer—all these activities will take you beyond your conditioned world.

As you awaken your Heart Presence, you will develop a centered-ness and a sense of knowing that you are on track. This inner knowing is reliable—no matter what is happening to you emotionally, physically, professionally, or financially—and regardless of what is happening in the world around you.

And the more awake you are, the more you effortlessly lift up the lives of others.
