Caroline Myss ~ Habitus Maximus – The Greatest Habits Of Your Heart

Posted on by
Reply

Caroline Myss April 2013

Theological discussions often take shape around exploring the difference between an ordinary understanding of a single word and imagining how that same word would be interpreted by the soul. For example, the word, habitus, is Latin for habits of behavior and routines. All individuals have a host of certain habits that bring order to their physical life. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the news, for example. And then I check my email. There was a time when I just had coffee and watched the news – that was pre-email. Email is the new addition to my decades old routine. Then I hit the shower and then the office. And so the day goes.

We all have our routines that we occasionally vary but routines – habits – are anchors or locators for us. They keep chaos at bay, as much as any person can negotiate with the forces of chaos. Our habits are also projections of our lifestyle: I am a runner; I only eat organic; I attend church services every Sunday; I walk every morning; I read every evening after dinner; I nap every day at 4:00 pm; I start drinking every day at 5:00 pm. Our physical habits are stop and go signs for the people around us who have to learn to maneuver their lives around our firmly implanted carefully regulated routines.

Much about our physical habits are matters of choice and adaptation. We can change these habits at will, although I will grant that breaking some of these habits requires a great deal of support. Obviously breaking free of the habits of drugs, gambling, alcohol, lying, and being a con-artist is not something a person is likely to do alone, but those dark habits can be broken.

What all of these habits have in common is that they are moveable. They order your world and yet they can be changed, altered, or removed from your life completely at will. Other habits can be introduced anywhere along the line.

Habitus Maximus, on the other hand, refers to the “great habits of your heart/soul”. These are habits that are not consciously chosen by you as such but are awakened from within by circumstances or learned behavior. These are the guiding habits that if maintained lead you to become a congruent or whole human being. I could add “spiritually conscious” but the pursuit of the spiritual is an option, a personal choice. Habitus maximus are the habits of “who you really are by God’s design.” Whereas physical habits bring order to your life, the habits of your heart bring order to you as a human being. They are patterns of behavior inherent to your soul’s nature that become animated through discourse with adults during your childhood, or through witnessing a situation that caused a moment of identification, or by being a participant in a situation that became an awakening. Lucky for you I already planned to provide examples of all these three.

Mike Barrett ~ Curcumin Matches Exercise In Slowing Aging, Protecting The Heart

Natural Society April 3 2013

It is well established that exercise helps to preserve youth and protect the heart from aging, but it certainly isn’t the one protector out there. According to 3 different studies carried out by researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan, the spice turmeric may be just as effective as moderate exercise at preventing aging and boosting heart health.

For the first of the 3 randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trials, researchers divided 32 postmenopausal women into 3 separate groups to examine the effects of curcumin and exercise on the heart. One group was given curcumin orally, the second group partook in moderate exercise training, and the third group did nothing at all. The study lasted 8 weeks.

After measuring participants’ vascular endothelial function – a key indicator of overall cardiovascular health – at the start and end of the study, they found that the control group saw no improvement while the curcumin group and exercise group saw equal, notable improvement. The study abstract concludes with:

“Our results indicated that curcumin ingestion and aerobic exercise training can increase flow-mediated dilation in postmenopausal women, suggesting that both can potentially improve the age-related decline in endothelial function.”

Natural Society March 11 2013

Known as one of the most popular tree nuts around, pecans come from a large deciduous tree native to North America and Mexico. The nut can be found in hundreds of different varieties, and can be enjoyed fresh, roasted, or added in various recipes . Best of all, the health benefits of pecans can be experienced all year round.

Nutritional Content of Pecans

Composed predominantly of fat – with a fat content of 70+ percent – pecans contain more fat than just about any other nut. But don’t let fat content fool you; these large, buttery flavored nuts are rich in numerous vitamins and minerals known for promoting various aspects of health. Below I have outlined some of the most prominent nutrients found in pecans. The figures are based on a 1 ounce serving (28 grams) of pecans.

  • Fiber – 2.7 grams. 11% RDA.
  • Manganese – 1.3 milligrams. 64% RDA.
  • Copper – 0.3 milligrams. 17% RDA.
  • Thiamin – 0.2 milligrams. 12% RDA.
  • Magnesium – 34.2 milligrams. 9% RDA.
  • Phosphorus – 78.2 milligrams. 8% RDA.
  • Iron – 0.7 milligrams. 4% RDA.
  • Protein – 2.6 grams. 5% RDA.
  • Fatty Acids, Total Polyunsaturated - 6.128 grams.
  • Carotene-ß - 29 µg.
  • Crypto-xanthin-ß - 9 µg.
  • Lutein-zeaxanthin - 17 µg.

Christina ~ Waking Up, Moving On, Singing A New Song

Golden Heart Dialogues February 21 2013

This post is dedicated to all those who have made radical movements, made right oblique turns, and are clearly on the move into a new groove. If you are one of these brave souls who has recently taken action upon awakening to the truth of who you are, after mustering up the courage and audacity to shift, celebrate your bold action.

These are bold and audacious times.

It is a lot like turning the dial on the radio to a whole new station playing new songs. There is a silent force singing and humming inside of the hearts of those partaking in the outward flux of forward movement. There is an invisible presence insisting that we move ahead and do what we came to do and be who we truly are.

Not only is there a silent force and invisible presence there is also the undeniable inner alchemy working through us. The alchemy of present time awareness intermixed with our ability to take giant leaps of faith is what is instrumental at this time.

With less focus on a set date for a big event to happen, we can now set course for exactly what we are poised to undertake.

We have often heard it is the journey not the destination, and so it is. As we wake up to the advent of our becoming we are confident that what we are taking on is totally within not only our purview, but within our skill sets, our experience and in alignment with our destiny path.

There isn’t anything we can’t do. There isn’t any place we cannot go. There isn’t anyone who can do or get where we are destined to be, except us. And when we do what it is we are going to do and get where we are going we meet others and find ourselves in the unity heart, and in unity consciousness.

We are here for the sake of each other and we are all here for the same purpose. To awaken to our inner light, to see who we are, to be who we are and to experience this is a marvelous manner.

AA Michael ~ Angels Are Called Messengers, But Messengers From Whom And To Whom?

Ron Head February 3 2013

We speak over and over about your hearts. Let us begin today’s message with that and see a little of why it is so important.

You have all been told, for as long as you can remember, that you think with your brain. Actually you do not. Your brain is a marvelous instrument, but it is only an instrument. You are more than a little likely, as you are one who reads these messages, to understand that you are not a package of meat and bones with a life, a mind, and a soul, but a life, a mind, and a soul that lives in a package of meat and bones. You temporarily inhabit your body, and for the time that such is the case, it is actually within you, even though it feels as if you are within it.

The connecting link between you, as a life, and your temporary home, is another one of your bodies which contains centers of energy which perform certain functions for you. Of these centers, your teachings have given major importance to seven. And of these seven, one happens to be located in the vicinity of the organ that pumps blood through your systems. It is this we refer to when we say your heart.

As applies to your life, it is this center which is associated with the feelings of love, compassion, and those higher feelings that we speak so often about. Other major centers are devoted to other things. For instance, feelings dealing with survival are centered lower down in the system. And the feelings we call higher, the love, compassion, empathy, and so on, are felt most strongly through this heart center. Now there is nothing that is a part of you which is not important, so higher, as we just used the word, does not mean that other feelings are not necessary or important. The urge to run when startled is hardly less important, do you see? But the ability to identify with the suffering of another, to love all life, and to desire with all one’s heart to attain spiritual goals is rather lofty, is it not? What you have often missed is that these things are not only not possible, but not desirable, when life is hanging on a thread. So the word higher needs to be understood a little differently.

Selacia ~ Hidden Comes To Light

Selacia | January 24 2013

These are times when the hidden is coming into full view. This is external with the massive overhaul of society and new understandings of corruption, inequality, and unspeakable meanness perpetuated out of fear.

More importantly, the hidden is coming to light within people as they awaken from a long slumber of forgetfulness. During that process, people of all walks of life across this world are coming to terms with who they really are and how their conditioning has prevented them from shining their light fully.

Seeing What Was Hidden

As you witness this and receive your own insights previously hidden from view, keep in mind that this is a natural evolutionary process. The things you are becoming aware of are not worse now than before. People are not meaner than before, either. For thousands of years, humanity has lived with a fear-based mentality. Without fear, there would be no war and no meanness.

Only in the most current cycle has society begun waking up to its dysfunction, the potential of a radically different way of existence, and the urgent need to change.

AA Michael ~ Creation Needs To Have The Input Of Each Of You

Ron Head | January 17 2013

Our message today is about allowing your minds to expand into areas which are perhaps new or perhaps long left unexplored. For quite some time now you have allowed us to focus your awareness upon certain goals, and you have done very well. Now you have reached a sort of plateau, a place to gather yourselves and orient yourselves toward your purposes.

Take stock of your deep desires, both those current and those you felt far back in your memory, those you had given up on. Choose those which make your heart light and happy. Do not place any importance upon the opinions of others. When you are in your heart space, they are not there with you. Impossibility is not there either.

As big as your heart space is, it still will only hold you and those who can help build your lives of pure joy and abundance. This is the place to be true to who you really are. This is the place where we would like you to place your workbench. Look around you now. Notice that there are a great many new and shiny tools that you never had before. See the brand new boxes and containers of supplies. Open them and see the brilliant light reflect off of the contents. Now you are prepared to build whatever your heart desires. From now on, you may, and we wish you to, come back here as often as you like.

Jamye Price ~ Allowing Love To Rule

Weekly LightBlast | January 10 2013

As we build on last week’s Fortitude and Focus, we see the progress of new Life beginning. There is no wrong and right in an unconditional universe, only growth as Life continues. You live in a world of choice, therefore, there is an aspect of conditionality that begets direction. While your conditions will require discernment to choose, they need not contain judgment for another. As you become unconditional with the Forbearance of one who Knows All is Well, you recognize change as a benevolent truth that awaits your Focus. You are a creator in your world. Your truth is manifest in the world you experience. Not just what you view, what you experience. When you view a tragedy and you feel anger, anger is a Truth a in your world. It need not be a judgment, your reaction in honesty is a refiner of your focus. Anger can lead to Love for one that is willing to look deep into the courageous heart. Look within.

Transitions | December 7 2012

quantum leap ahead Well, it’s December 2012…finally. Is your mind reeling with possibilities? Your heart swelling with expectations? Your body anxious to house more of YOU? Your spirit so very ready to connect with Home in this new way? Are the many possibilities racing through your mind and heart about the grand Expiration Date of 12-21-12? Are you as ready for the 12-12-12 through 12-21-12 shift-point as you possibly can be? Do you have any fears, worries or confusions about this monumental transition we’re about to traverse…many of us while in our physical bodies?

I remember one day long ago in 1995 — which now seems like about six lifetimes ago — reading for the first time about “December 21, 2012″ and thinking how painfully far away that date was and sensing how much I’d have to go through before I reached that future date. And now, here we are, poised at the most important transition of them all…finally.

Since I created Transitions in 2007, I’ve talked about a variety of Ascension-related topics in my unique individual way as one more voice and hopefully guiding Light to help other Starseeds/Wanderers, Lightworkers/Lightwarriors, Indigos, and anyone else experiencing the Ascension Process who wandered into my blog space with these amazing times leading up to what’s right before us this month.

Since 2007 there’s been so much to talk about and it’s often been extremely trying and downright difficult for me to write due to my living with intense Ascension symptoms and often having “brain fog” where one’s 3D linear mental thinking processes are short-circuited because they were being rewired, evolved into larger, higher frequency and much more complex ways of perception and communication. That plus sheer and seemingly unending exhaustion and at times, a lot of physical pains. But I wrote what I could when I could the best I could at the time. There have been so many times since 2007 where I couldn’t focus enough to write, edit and publish an article(s) fast enough due to another intense cluster of ascension symptoms and I’d end up deleting them because we’d moved on to the next energetic ascension-related situation in a matter of days!

The Energetic Connection | November 30 2012

Some of my favorite movie lines come from the Matrix, often in the teacher student relationship between Morpheus and Neo.

During a training exercise, Morpheus responds to Neo when he asks, “are trying to tell me I can dodge bullets?” Morpheus says, “no, I’m telling you that when the time comes, you won’t have to.”

Another comes from the martial arts training in the virtual dojo when Morpheus asks Neo,“how did I beat you?” Neo says something like, “you’re too fast.” And Morpheus asks, “do you think that faster or stronger has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Is that air you’re breathing now?”

Golden Heart Dialogues | November 15 2012

I already know. Be still my heart. I focus on non-complexity. Time to be simple now.

Breathe calmly. Know that everything knows what to do. Be still thy heart. Nothing is required now. Subtle body, water floats our body heart.

Cool, calm collected, we sit here in the big blue pool of love. Radiating, from our golden core, more, and more. Refresh, resource, rejoice, simple now, non-complex.

We have finished what we left to do for the final call, we finally, and with utmost certainty say, Ah Aum.

We are nearly home. Be the quiet. Be the still. Be the real.

No pretense, no angst, no more untruths, only love walks this way into the Door of Love.

I shall meet you there.

Christina ~ To Behold With Eyes Of The Heart

Golden Heart Dialogues | November 11 2012

“To behold with the eyes of the heart; to listen with the ears of the heart to the roar of the world; to peer into the future with the comprehension of the heart; to remember the cumulations of the past through the heart; thus must one impetuously advance upon the path of ascent.” ~Quotation from the book, Heart, 1932, Agni Yoga Nicholas Roerich Agni Yoga Society

Now more than ever, one is called to return home through the doorway of the heart. It is through this doorway all will pass. The place within the heart is the passage toward one’s ascent. As we are called, we are also provided a guide in order to find our way through this door. We are ever so carefully shown the way as there is an avenue of love and light to highlight the path.

It is simply for us to welcome our ascent with arms out wide and to also not be too concerned about this, or that. What shall find its way to our aid is the primordial presence found within every heart; this shall be known as heart love. Even as we move through the door we are gently shown which exit sign to observe. As we move gingerly ahead, we also know we are happily and joyously going to a perfect place, designated for just exactly who we are and what we have become.

We are led where our heart has the awareness and already knows the code. The door on the left is the one where there is sound and love. The chorus of our heart speaks to us in a specific way and the chords are found in our unique signature of love.

From where we originally hail, we know the chorus of our heart is real.
