Tapping Into Heart Energy
Heart Energy. From Protection to Connection
Metox Monthly Practice: June 2026
After May’s focus on power, June brings us underneath the surface. It asks what is sitting beneath our reactions. What is underneath our defensiveness, overthinking, why do we shut down, or get suddenly irritated? Why do we continue to people-please, or feel the need to protect ourselves before anything has even happened?
June is about returning to the heart as a place of guidance. The only guidance we will ever need!
I'm not talking about getting soft or feeling exposed. I'm asking to get honest enough to know when our heart is open, when it is guarded, and when it is bracing for something that belongs to the past.
A lot of us have learned to protect our hearts by putting on 'the armour.' I know I certainly have.
"No! It's fine - I'm ok!"
Sadly, many of us follow that path.
If we feel hurt, we get tougher.
If we feel exposed, we overexplain.
If we feel unsure, we try to control everything.
If we feel vulnerable, we disappear into 'I'm too busy!' Or use sarcasm, numbness, fixing, pleasing, proving, or silence to not deal.
It makes sense, but let's not forget the heart remembers EVERYTHING.
Disappointment, rejection, abandonment, betrayal...It remembers the times we trusted and were let down. It remembers when love felt conditional. It remembers when being open cost too much. But the protection we build can become a prison if we never break it down.
June’s practice is about listening in a different way. It helps us slow down enough to notice what our heart is actually saying before our minds rush in with a story.
The Metox Monthly Practice for June has 4 stages.
Awareness
Holding The Emotion
Choosing Your Response
Expressing Clearly
It invites us to have one honest conversation or write one honest message we have been avoiding. No over-justifying. No trying to manage the other person’s response. No turning your truth into a five-paragraph legal document! (It has been known!)
This is heart energy in ACTION. Let's become more honest with what is already moving through us!
You can complete it in one sitting or return to it throughout the month. No need to become instantly healed, loving, forgiving, available, radiant, or saint-like! Just begin where you are.
The Importance of Self-Reflection
Self-reflection is a vital tool in our journey. It allows us to pause and examine our thoughts and feelings. By doing so, we can gain clarity on our current situation. This clarity can guide us toward more intentional decisions.
In moments of reflection, we can ask ourselves deeper questions. What do I truly want? What values guide my life? These questions can help us realign with our true selves.
