Hey there sister Nadj, how's the beautiful Isla de Encanto? Are you ready to trade out for a few months?
You are absolutely right that ones heart must connect with all intentions. The secrets to The Secret is: when one sets an intention(conscious) one must connect with the heart(emotions) AND one must by-pass the Critical Factor a/k/a Gatekeeper of the sub-conscious. Those are the primary ingredients that need to be blended prior to the real cooking (energy/action) on ones intention. The sub-conscious mind is like a computer where everything is stored; good memories, bad memories, ugly memories, negative/positive imprints(programming). The job of the Gatekeeper is to keep the status quo which translates into: if the sub-conscious has been programmed with non-empowering imprints, the Gatekeeper will automatically reject anything that challenges those beliefs even at the risk of hurting us! So, it is very important to get the Gatekeeper on your side in order to fully operate on an empowered level. There are different modalities that one can use, to neutralize the Gatekeepers' fear of change.
