Coming from the Heart - Circle Conversations May 11, 2026

by Oshi

Coming from the heart — whether in speaking or in listening — is at the center of our GTW practice. It invites us into a way of being where our presence softens, our words become more authentic, and our connections deepen. When we come from the heart, we touch a place within us that is already full of unconditional love, a place that doesn’t need to be earned or proven, only remembered.

Mary Magdalene’s teachings, especially as shared in Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel, and the Christianity We Haven’t Tried Yet by Meggan Watterson, remind us that love and divine connection arise from within. They come as grace — freely given, not achieved — and they remain available even in times of uncertainty. This inner connection creates a sense of unity and belonging with the divine, awakening an inner awareness that speaks to the soul rather than the ego. It reassures, supports, and gently guides us back to ourselves. In this understanding, love is the natural state of the soul when it is no longer ruled by fear, judgment, or illusion.

Jeshua’s words in 1 Corinthians 13 echo this same truth. Love is patient and kind, offering tolerance and compassion. It does not envy or boast, choosing humility over pride. It is not rude or self‑seeking but honors the needs of others. Love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices in truth, supporting honesty and integrity. It protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres, remaining constant through all circumstances. These qualities are not distant ideals; they are invitations to practice love in the small, ordinary moments of our lives.

The HeartMath Institute offers a similar reminder: a more compassionate world begins within each of us. The shift is an inner one — moving from worry to calm, from stress to coherence, from judging others to compassion, and from disconnection to genuine connection. This inner shift is the pathway back to the heart, the place where we remember who we truly are.

As we reflect on this theme together, we might gently consider what “coming from the heart” means in our own lived experience. We might notice the moments when it has felt difficult to stay in that place, and the practices or inner movements that help us return when we feel separated from it. These reflections open the doorway to deeper listening — both to ourselves and to one another — as we continue exploring what it means to live and speak from the heart.
