Heart

According to the modern mayan calendar, today is White Rhythmic Dog. Here is the description of White Dog from my 13moon calendar. I found this to be a beautiful description of Heart.

White Dog

The heart is both earthly and heavenly; a medium between spirit and matter. The heart is pure. Incapable of anything but complete honesty, the heart’s nature is unconditional acceptance. Its essence is receptivity, transparency, and devotion. Its strength is in its vulnerability; its beauty in its expression. Its function is love, endowed with infinite resources to share its graces. The heart, as a spiritual center, wishes to service in the glory of union, welcoming all inclusively. As we dwell in our heart’s simplicity, love takes the reigns, and a path of possibilities effortlessly opens before us!

The heart’s domain is relationship – temples of initiation offering vast insight into the celestial prisms of the heart and the myriad layers of connectivity among souls. White Dog urges us to seek out and enjoy our companions of destiny – our Kin who fulfill our heart’s longings to reciprocate true love. The basis of healthy relationship is to always honor the truth of one’s own heart.

Pain in one’s life, from unresolved wounds, signals our attention. One of our heart’s roles is to transducer pain into acceptance, resulting in peace. This personal process requires full awareness on feeling the sensations of pain, whether physical or emotional, while recognizing that in a transcendental sense the pain is not “who we are,” it is just showing blockages or imbalances. It is merely passing through us, seeking a heart to meet and acknowledge it. If we give all the pain over to our heart-center and surround it with a vigilant, patient, compassionate embrace, the fire of our self-loving acceptance burns away its veils, diminishing its intensity, and if needed, liberates us into the lessons underlying the pain.

White Dog asserts that the essence of our being is Love – everything we do is either love or a cry for love. The all-curing medicine of compassion is sourced from the Heart.
