Dear Reader,

Have you ever found yourself standing at the edge of a vast canyon, seeing your vision on the other side but questioning if you have what it takes to build the bridge?

This is the space I find myself navigating right now - a place of uncertainty where the demands of life are asking me to become more than I've been before. Perhaps you recognize this feeling in your own life.

What I'm discovering as I face this challenge is profound: when the path feels hard, it's not about doing more. It's about becoming more.

In my latest article, “Being vs. Doing: This Simple Inner Shift Will Transform Your Challenges Into Exponential Growth,” I share:

• Why pushing harder often creates more resistance and exhaustion
• Five essential qualities to embody that transform challenges from the inside out
• A heart-centered practice that's creating breakthroughs where effort alone can't reach

If you're facing your own canyon right now, this might be exactly what your heart needs to hear.

Something I learned recently…

I discovered that right here in Spain, not far from where I live in Granada, was born one of history's most profound heart-centered mystics. Ibn Arabi, born in Murcia in 1165 and raised in Seville, revolutionized how we understand the human heart through his Sufi teachings.

Unlike many spiritual traditions that speak of purifying or conquering the heart, Ibn Arabi taught that the human heart is inherently divine—capable of infinite expansion to “contain” even God himself. His concept of "Qalb" (heart) describes not just an emotional center, but a dynamic spiritual organ that continuously transforms to reflect divine reality.

“The heart of the knower of God,” he wrote, “expands and contracts in accordance with divine self-disclosure.” This suggests our hearts naturally pulse between contraction and expansion, mirroring the breath of existence itself—a remarkable perspective from 12th century Andalusia that feels deeply relevant to our modern understanding.

For more on this tradition, I recommend Stephen Hirtenstein's The Unlimited Mercifier.

Are you ready to awaken the Heart Warrior within?

Next month, on April 10th, I'm beginning a new cohort of the Heart Warrior Bootcamp – a 12-week journey for those ready to heal emotional wounds, break free from limiting patterns, and reclaim their authentic power. The journey includes weekly live coaching sessions, foundational courses, a private community, and powerful resources to support your transformation. If you feel a resonance with this opportunity, I invite you to learn more and register.

Heart-earned wisdom

Gabriel Gonsalves @GabsGonsalves When someone's behavior triggers us, pause and ask: What's happening beneath the surface? Behind every reaction lies a human heart carrying its own story of pain and protection. Leading with curiosity over judgment opens doors to deeper understanding. 12:12 PM • Mar 22, 2025 2 Retweets 5 Likes Read 1 replies
