So let us take a very simple and complicated example at the same time. Two people are newly in love. One says to the other – “I love you.” He receives a warm smile and a hug, but this is not enough. So he says, “Please tell me, tell me you love me.”

Energetically what is happening in this conversation? I'm not asking for your story, assumptions or judgments. Setting aside the complexity of the word “love”, –energetically, what is happening? “I love you” equals a release of energy from one to another.

When someone speaks from the heart, there's a literal release of energy from the person to others. When people speak from the heart they are releasing qualities into the field – energy if you like. Love is often coded with the qualities of acceptance, recognition, or commitment.

As an aside, it would be much more direct to say “Please release some energy to me. I would like the qualities of__________.” Yes, I understand this is much less romantic. However, it is a more clear, deeper, revealing conversation. This is why when someone says, I love you to another, it can mean so many different things and it may or may not be satisfying to the other person.

Now where is this heart? How do you speak from the heart that is not your physical heart? So who is it that is speaking? Simply, it is your energetic self, the part of you that is more than your conscious or unconscious mind. People have many names for this.

The term speaking from the heart means speaking from the energetic self in a way that acknowledges the connection you have with everyone and everything. This is why speaking from the heart is so powerful and experience: 1) because you are releasing or sharing qualities, and 2) you are more directly using the flows of connection that exist between everyone.

Feelings are not a reliable indicator of being in your heart space. The most reliable indicator that you are speaking from the heart is:

1) a sense of connection, followed by
2) a sense of openness, from which the connection flows.
3) the third quality is acceptance. There is a deep sense of accepting self and other.
4) the mind is still. You cannot speak from the heart if your mind is full of thoughts.

Typically when people speak from the heart, they will say later that they had no idea what they were saying or going to say. It is spontaneous, unplanned. Maybe a better word rather than spontaneous is that there is a connected flow.

Sense of connection, openness, acceptance and stillness of mind, these are the four reliable indicators that you are speaking from the heart.

Sense of connection, openness, acceptance and stillness of mind...

This is how we know it's the inner heart, speaking or not.
