Ken Eagle Feather--Awakening The Heart

It’s not an easy process.

A lot of times this transition

from the old style to the new style of being can be miserable.

You get to a place where nothing makes sense anymore,

and you go through a dark night of the soul.

And then, just at the last moment

when you think all the lights are going to go out,

you’ll make a connection that keeps you going.

At that point, things start making sense.

Then all of a sudden

you know how to connect with the world automatically—h

ow to feel it, rather than think about it.

And when you start feeling that connection,

you start opening up.

And when you start opening up,

you really begin awakening the heart.

And then your world is no longer like you thought it was before.
