What makes your heart leap out of your chest?

Give your life to That.

Through meditation, guided meditation, a talk and exchange with participants, Jeannie invites participants to explore the feel of their human hearts and talks about it as an instrument that is at its best soft, open, and affectable. Devotion is letting what you love, what touches you, be your compass as you serve what you are naturally devoted to. Devotion causes the heart to turn toward the Holy and say: Use me. 


Exchange 1: Participant wants to know how to remain resting as Love while letting sensations arise, and whether to back off or not if the sensations seem to eclipse the Love that they are. Jeannie explores the allowing of sensation as well as the backing off, especially in the case of trauma.
