Heartwork

Heartwork is a discipline that enables us to investigate and develop connexion. It originates in an internal teaching that my teacher, John Kells, received from a man of Icelandic descent with whom he studied for 21 years. It is ancient and European and puts the heart – the centre responsible for connexion – foremost.

Some principles of Heartwork

Every thing has a heart and an internal life. By internal life we mean a developing connexion to subtle energetic aspects of reality.

When the heart connects it does so to another heart.

Every connexion also has a heart and an independent life – we call this the Third Heart.

To connect and then to maintain a connexion requires energy. It is the creative inspiration of the Third Heart that provides this energy.

The Heartworker gradually stops being a solid mass of regulating experiences retrieved by memory, and instead becomes a trembling web of connexions, each dipping into a different source of energy. The devotion and dedication with which the life is lived nurtures and keeps alive each connexion – each is eternally present.

A heartworked life – one ruled by the natural wisdom and generosity of the heart – takes on significance by virtue of it feeding so many other hearts. We call this significance destiny.
