I have been having dreams and images of symbology all about the heart with wings and how it represented not only our heart but the heart of the heaven and earth.
The dream explained that through dropping into our own heart we are able to connect to the universal and earthly heart connecting us to multiple time lines and multiple outcomes. Only when we drop into our hearts without judgement for self and others and the world around us are we able to move circumstances with empathy and compassion. By dropping into love the ripple effect on that simple yet powerful conscious act grows exponentially helping others do the same.
It has been known that the heart is a gateway for eons. However, the extent to that truth is far more than just a one way street - the old saying as above so below is far greater than we can possibly imagine or even fathom.
The Mythic Symbol: The Heart with Wings
The heart with wings is an ancient symbol found across cultures - Egyptian, Greek, Hermetic, and Christian mystical traditions.
💜In Ancient Egypt, the Winged Heart was linked with Ba, the soul’s aspect that could travel between realms. The heart was weighed against the feather of Ma’at (truth, harmony). A light heart meant purity, truth, and readiness to unite with the divine.
💜In Greek and Hermetic traditions, a winged heart symbolized Eros or Agape - love that transcends earthly limitations and aspires to divine union.
💜In Christian mysticism, it represents the Sacred Heart - love as a living fire that bridges human suffering and divine grace.
So the “heart with wings going inward” can be understood as the return flight – turning the wings inward, descending into the sacred inner temple - where heaven (spirit) and earth (body) are reconciled through the heart’s intelligence.
💫The Heart as the Gateway Between Heaven and Earth💫
The heart is more than emotion; it’s a field of coherence that literally bridges heaven and earth within us.
🍁Physiologically, research from the HeartMath Institute shows that the heart emits an electromagnetic field thousands of times stronger than the brain’s. When we shift to emotions like gratitude, compassion, and love, this field becomes coherent — influencing not only our nervous system but those around us.
🍁Spiritually, many traditions (Sufism, Taoism, Kabbalah, Yoga) teach that the heart is the axis mundi - the world axis - the meeting point of divine and earthly forces within us.
🍁Mythically, this is the “grail” within - the vessel that holds both light and shadow, unifying opposites.
💫Walking Through the Chaos: From Disconnection to
Harmony💫
Chaos, whether personal or collective, is the crucible that purifies the heart. In mythic terms, we “descend” into chaos to find the seed of order and rebirth.
The path is not about escaping chaos, but walking through it consciously. Some ways
we can do this:
a) Witness, don’t react.
The heart thrives in awareness, not reactivity. Breathe through emotion rather than suppress or identify with it.
b) Practice heart-centred breathing.
Place your attention in your heart, breathe as if through it, and invoke a feeling of appreciation or compassion. This simple shift brings your whole system into harmony.
c) Transmute judgment into understanding.
Every time we soften judgment, we expand our field of love, this is how “outer vibrations” begin to shift.
💫Dropping Into the Heart - Unifying Soul, Heaven, and Earth💫
This “dropping in” is both poetic and practical. It’s the art of returning home to your own centre.
Here are a few practices that can help:
1. Heart–Earth Connection
- Stand barefoot on the ground.
- Feel your heartbeat syncing with the pulse of the earth.
- Visualize roots descending from your feet, wings of light
expanding from your heart.
- Inhale light from the cosmos, exhale love into the earth.
This harmonizes the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers.
2. The Heart Flame Meditation
- Imagine a small flame in your heart.
- With each breath, the flame grows brighter, illuminating
your inner world.
- Let it embrace pain, fear, or grief - transmuting them
into warmth and compassion.
- Feel the flame expand beyond your body, filling your
surroundings with peace.
3. Acts of Gentle Service
Every act done with genuine love - a smile, a kind word, a moment of listening -expands your heart’s field. This is where spiritual practice becomes embodied.
💫Living in Fulfilment and Lightness💫
Fulfilment doesn’t come from avoiding chaos but from becoming a vessel of coherence within it. When your inner frequency is peace, your environment begins to entrain to it.
When your heart is light, the “wings” naturally open - and life moves through you with grace.
The essence of this path is simple but profound:
“As we descend into the heart, heaven descends into earth.”
Hope this helps you today. It certainly is very profound and something worth pondering on to recentre and rebalance.
