Heart-Centred Living

From a young age, we are taught to respond to the world using our minds and not our hearts. While our mind is a beautiful gift, it is through our spiritual heart that we find truth, wisdom, and connection with our Higher Self. In every moment, we have a choice — living from the head (logical thinking - intelligence) or living from conscious awareness using the head and the heart (emotional intelligence).

Living from one’s heart means living from a place of love. It’s about living consciously and considering the impacts and ripple effects of one’s actions, not only to oneself but also to Mother Earth and humanity.

If it sounds a little too spiritual or ‘woo-woo’ to live from one’s heart, you may be surprised to learn that research from the HeartMath Institute indicates that the physical heart appears to be involved in the processing and decoding of intuitive information. It further states that the heart seems to receive and respond to intuitive information.

Helen Keller referred to this when she said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart”.

What are the Monthly Spiritual Topics (MST)?

We create new spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Aims of the MSTs

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

  • Know themselves better (self-realisation)
  • Connect with their inner wisdom
  • Develop conscious focus and intent
  • Live from a heart-centered space
  • Express compassion and be in service to everyone
  • Align with their Higher/Divine Self
  • Manifest positive change for themselves and the collective

Objectives of the MSTs

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.
