Journey into the Heart through Meditation, Our Personal Shadows, and Spring’s Awakening
Janine Bolon
Spring has officially sprung in the Circle of the Sacred Heart, and with it comes our shared invitation to return home—back into the stillness of the Heart, into the breath, and into that wild, goofy, sacred joy that bubbles up when we let go of our seriousness. On Thursday, we gathered together to reflect, laugh, cry a little, and get real about where we are in our personal practices. The theme? “Upliftment begins at the Heart.”
We explored how meditation—whether it’s five quiet minutes or a walk with your dogs—is our personal boat on the river. You’re not required to push hard. When the water catches and lifts your boat, you’re in flow. That’s your cue. You’ve connected. You’re done. That’s the kind of ease we’re welcoming into the next 20 weeks of Dancing with the Divine journaling.
Some highlights from our Circle:
Cathy shared how her meditation practice has shifted. We reminded ourselves that different isn’t wrong. Life changes, and so do our practices. Walking the beach, soaking in the hot tub—these are still sacred connections.
Sarah stepped into her next level, joining a paranormal investigation team as their psychic! Talk about trusting the inner nudge. She reminded us that money, growth, and support come when we lean into our truth—even if it looks “campy” on the outside.
Crystal is on the road again with her newly published book and an upcoming tour. Her insight? Everything started flowing once she followed the “YES” that felt right in her heart—not just the one that made sense on paper.
From Carl Jung’s shadow meditation to journaling prompts like “When did I last feel I truly listened to myself?”, we are leaning into the wisdom that’s been waiting for us in stillness. If you’re feeling the call, now’s the time to restart—or soften into—your practice.
Where We’re Headed Next: Dancing with the Divine Journaling & Heart Chakra Integration
We’re officially in the beginning stages of our Dancing with the Divine journey, and I couldn’t be more excited to travel this path with each of you.
Over the next 20 weeks, we’ll move in rhythm with the seasons—gently, playfully, and with intention—as we let the summer sun illuminate the Divine already dancing within us.
I’m creating a dedicated Dancing with the Divine journal just for you, which will become our guidebook as we journey together.
It will include space for self-reflection, weekly journaling prompts, and meditative themes that connect to the chakra system—starting with the Heart.
This journal is not homework. It’s a conversation with your soul.
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming next:
Theme for April: Listening to the Heart’s Whisper
Weekly Prompt: “What is my heart asking me to feel—without fixing, solving, or doing?”
Suggested Practice: Set a 7-minute timer this week. Just sit with your hand on your chest and breathe. That’s it. Listen. Let the noise settle. Write whatever bubbles up after.
By the next Circle gathering, I’ll have the first few pages of the journal to share, and we’ll dive more deeply into Heart Chakra integration work—practical, grounded, and maybe a little sparkly. 😉
Here is a fun quote I found while building out the journal pages for you.
I wish I had wrote it, it is so on point with what I wanted to share with you.
“You don’t have to go looking for love when you are the one carrying it.”
Have a great day and if you’re interested in becoming a mystic with the Circle of the Sacred Heart, schedule a zoom with me here
