We can certainly do this every day, but this time of year gives us more pause for reflection looking back and pondering a direction as we look forward. What Do You Want to Create in Your life?

Listen to Your Heart – For these Benefits
Heart as the Center of the Seat of Consciousness You probably often hear “Listen to your heart.” How often do you really do this, and what does the really mean? Shouldn’t we be rational and not too overly emotional? If I’m listening to my heart does that mean I’m not listening to another part of myself?
