Finding Your Heartsong

If you haven't seen the movie Happy Feet, I highly recommend renting it. Besides having toe tapping music and unforgettable characters, the animated movie's story is inspirational. Every Emperor Penguin has his or her unique heartsong which they use to find their soul mate. The main character, Mumble, can't sing to save his life but he has the gift of tap dancing. His unique ability is not appreciated by the majority and he goes off to find a place to express himself.

This story line ties into the theme that continues to repeat with a majority of my friends, family and clients ~ self-expression and finding one's heartsong. Women, especially those in their 40's, 50's and 60's, desperately want to live their lives from a place of passion, truth and authenticity. It is often the time when the children have grown up and left home for college or to pursue lives of their own. The question from these women is, "so, what do I do now?"

To find an answer to the question often means removing the mental, emotional and spiritual blocks that are limiting forward movement. A gentle approach to releasing obstacles is with the use of flower essences. These are wonderful gifts from nature that help us to heal and strengthen our electrical energy system when it is out of balance on any level - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Flower essences give us a greater awareness and ability to resolve the stressors in our life while giving us an opportunity for self-healing.

The following are a few flower essences from Australia that offer support in finding one's heartsong:
Creative Essence (once called Heartsong):
This flower essence combination inspires creativity and emotional expression, opens the heart and literally corrects blocks in the TMJ area, allowing one to open the mouth wide. This is a wonderful flower essence for providing courage and clarity in singing, public speaking or any area of self-expression.
Meditation Essence:
Taking this flower essence combination allows one to go deeper into any spiritual practice while enhancing access to one's Higher Self.

Dynamis Essence:

This flower essence combination helps create abundant energy, vitality, enthusiasm and joy for life.
Give yourself permission to go to a place where you feel free to explore and find your heartsong. It could be a park, the beach, a forest, a library, the bathtub, a coffee shop. Ask yourself,
  • What makes me come alive?
  • Who or what fascinates me?
  • What did I do as a child that I would like to do again?
  • What have I always dreamed about?
  • How would I like to express myself? Is it through writing, dancing, singing, painting, teaching, speaking, traveling, learning... ?
Go for it! Find you heartsong and let the world see the true you!
