THE PATH OF HEART:  LOVE LESSONS

Lectures are usually one hour in length, but can be shortened or lengthened to suit the specific time allotted. Many of these topics can also be arranged as half or full-day workshops and would then include experiential activities.

 INTRODUCTION TO THE PATH OF HEART
The mystical heart is known as the temple of God and the abode of the soul.  It therefore contains the essence of our being and its divine attributes.  It is through the evolution of the love process in us, the continual expansion and deepening of the heart quality that leads us to soul, to self-realization and to God.  This is the path of the lover of life - the Path of Heart.

AWAKENING TO LOVE
Life is a continual process of awakening – of seeing and understanding deeper and wider of life, and into life.  Hopefully, we will all awaken to love and its meaningfulness to life and to our existence.   The talk speaks to a deep understanding of love, what it means to awaken to love, and what can one do to partner in hearts natural unfoldment.

THE PSYCHOSPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS OF THE MYSTICAL HEART
Explanation of the psychospiritual dimensions of the mystical heart center – the abode of love, intuition, healing, guidance and strength; its meaningfulness and importance to ones enfoldment as a human being, one’s relationships and ability to cope successfully with life, and one’s overall health, well-being, and happiness.

THE IDEAL OF FRIENDSHIP/KINSHIP
We need each other.  All life is relationship. The importance of these relationships from birth to death relate directly to the growth, health, well-being, maturation, and longevity of the individual and society. However, while relationships are necessary for life, they can also be difficult, problematic and at times abusive.  Individuals develop through their life experiences psychological coping mechanisms.  These “defensive strategies” will be reviewed and practical suggestions provided to facilitate meaningful, life-sustaining relationships. 

WALKING THE PATH OF HEART
A description of the journey on the Path of Heart - what it actually means to walk, practice and develop one’s heart quality – the use of breath, sound, prayer, meditation and self examination - suggestions, guidance and pitfalls.

THE HEALING POWER OF LOVE
It is love that heals.  The foundation of caring for others, no matter what the modality requires a loving heart.  Caring is one of the rivers in the divine ocean of love which includes the droplets of sympathy, patience, kindness, respect, empathy, compassion, forbearance and so on.  The more we can love and be loved, the greater will be our ability to heal. A discussion of the power of love in all caregiving and healing, and how one can facilitate the higher evolution of love in oneself.

The Broken Heart and The Spiritual Warrior
We all walk around with a broken heart.  All of us have experienced betrayal and disillusionment.  This, however, is the way of the lover.  One needs one’s heart to be broken in order for it to awaken, expand and develop.  Love always demands more – more understanding, more acceptance, greater tolerance, more sympathy, greater endurance and so on.  The Path of heart is the way and love is the process to become a spiritual warrior.
