Anna Kitley of Bergeon walks through a heart-centered exercise to access your inner truth for decisions. Place your hand on your heart, notice how truthful statements feel open and light versus how fear feels closed and tense, then anchor a joyful memory to bypass fear and release limiting beliefs.
Hi, this is Anna Kitley from Bergeon. Today I want to share a lovely exercise with you about how to access your inner truth and inner wisdom. In today's society, we're taught to suppress our emotions. We teach our children not to cry. We put on that poker face in the boardroom. And really we need to access our inner truth and inner wisdom from the heart, from our emotions. And so you begin this process by putting your hand on your heart. This helps to activate that feeling place. So just imagining, centering yourself within your heart, so bringing your consciousness into your heart center. Okay? And the truth will feel light and the light will feel heavy. So you think about the truth. I am beautiful. Okay? You'll feel your heart opening with that statement. And it works whether you're a guy or a female. Okay, I now make the statement. I'm stupid. You'll feel the heart will close and tense with that. Okay? So let's try making a statement where perhaps you have, you know, that there's something you need to do, you know, or feel that it's the right thing to do. But there are fears in the way. So what the heart will actually do is we'll try to open, but there'll be a tenseness in regards to opening. And all that is is your limiting beliefs and feelings or your fears, that's stopping from your heart to fully open to see that as a real truth. So that fear is actually only an illusion. So the way I do it is I begin anchoring a happy place, anchoring a happy thought. So for me, it's my children, it's my son and daughter. So I think about my children instantly. My heart feels open and light. And I think about a decision I want to make which is fearful, but I'm overlaying with the feelings and emotions of my children. Okay? The heart feels open and light. So what's that actually doing is bypassing that fear to access my inner truth. Okay, so let me go through that just one more time. So a lie will feel closed and a truth will feel open. Okay? But if there are fears in the way, your heart will feel tight and tense. It will try to open, but it will feel tense. And this is only because of your fears around judgment, around worthiness, deservingness, fear of failure. And the most biggest fear is actually fear of success. People fear success more than they fear failure. So these are some of the things that could stop you from actually accessing that inner truth and inner wisdom. So you first, you access a happy place, a happy thought. So for me, it's my family for you. It could be a wonderful holiday you'd experienced. It could be your soulmate that you feel have so much joy with. Just think of that person or that situation, get your place of joy. Then you want to overlay it by the decision you want to make. So whether it's quitting a job and starting your own company, or whether it's leaving a company to start work at another company or, or it could be going out there to meet your soulmate, actually putting yourself out there. Okay, so put yourself in the happy place, the happy thought. Okay? Think about the decision you want to make. Okay? You should be able to get your truth from that experience. So you've bypassed, you simply have bypassed that fear to get to your inner truth. Now the ultimately what you want to do is actually release the limiting beliefs and feelings that's holding that fear in place. Your beliefs will actually cause a limit or a block to actually going as far as you can in the success you want to create, whether it's career, love, health, relationships. So when you clear these limiting beliefs, then you completely open yourself up to infinite possibility. That's the first thing. So try that exercise out and let me know how you get on. Now this next step is forgiveness. Okay, It's a big word for a lot of people, forgiving a situation or a person for something that's happened to you. Now what happens if you don't forgive things of the past? It's like the ball and chain that you drag with you into the present. So it's almost, if you can imagine, carrying all the past, regrets, resentments and rejects, all the past hurts with you to your current life, to your current decision. Now those situations are no longer relevant to what's happening now. But somewhere, because you haven't been able to forgive that situational person, you're still carrying it with you into the now, which is impacting your perception of the current situation. So if you can't bring yourself to forgive the person, forgive the situation, accept that it happened, become aware of the learnings. What did you learn from that experience? Because everything happens for a reason. All the things that we think that we're regretting, that we thought were painful, hurtful, that we thought there were mistakes. Everything is actually in fact a learning. And when you realize or understand the higher learning for why that happened to you, you can move forward in your life and you can let go and forgive that situation and person much more easily. So by letting go of the past, we can move forward into the future with ease and grace. So begin to become aware of the things or the baggage that you've been holding on from the past so you can let go of it. To be free to create a new future for yourself. And it only takes a moment in a shift of change of perception to realize that your fears are in fact illusions. And when you realize they're illusions, you understand that anything is possible. So I hope you enjoyed this video and leave your comments below and any feedback on how you found this exercise of accessing your inner truth and inner wisdom by getting in touch with your heart. Thank you.
