Heart Sense
Welcome to my podcast! Heart Sense is about remembering the Divine wisdom we were born with that leads to personal empowerment and transformation. We'll be discussing the changes taking place in ourselves and the world... As we shift paradigms escorting in a New Earth and a new way of being. We'll also be featuring a diverse group of guest artists and innovative leaders. They will be sharing their original music, art, humor, authentic conversations, and personal journeys. We'll enter the most sacred places of the heart as we access our innate wisdom and create a space for our highest potential. Heart Sense launched on Tuesday, March 1, 2022!
Heart Sense
Moving Into Breakthrough
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Something is changing and we can feel it! Systems are failing as underlying structures are exposed. These eruptions are creating powerful shifts, as the earth reorganizes and redistributes her energy. She's moving us into a dynamic awareness. For everything false and unjust is being dismantled. So healing can occur on a solid foundation of truth.
Our planet is creating an alternative equilibrium, and we must follow her lead. Because something is reaching the end. .
Inherit in these shifts is an invitation. To release ourselves from roles that we've been stuck in. Movement leads to breakthroughs. As we stop fearing endings and pushing things to respond. We're left with what is real. Because there's no longer anything in the way.

Hello, I’m your host, Riverann. And this is Heart Sense. A podcast for aligning, strengthening, and opening our hearts, to a frequency of love that heals ourselves and our planet. Thank you for being here!
The music you’re listening to is from one of my absolute favorite violinists and fiddlers, Tyler Carson. You can find his music online by going to fiddlerontherock.com where you’ll also find a schedule of his live music appearances . If you’d get a chance to see him I’d highly recommend it because there’s really no one like this guy. He’s magic! Remember to tell him I sent you.
Something is changing…and we can feel it! As we move through 2026, the veils are lifting for both personal and collective viewing. The operating models of the world are failing. Structures that are underlying systems are exposed and erupting. Everything false and unjust is being dismantled, so healing can occur on a solid foundation of truth. Providing a catharsis for humanity.
Six planets lined up in Aries this month: the sun, moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Neptune. These interactive energies are creating powerful shifts. As our earth creates a new equilibrium so must we with balance our lives. Our planet is reorganizing, adjusting, and redistributing her energy. Moving us into a dynamic awareness that will become permanent. Because something, is reaching its end.
This is a strange, uncomfortable and challenging time for most of us. Whether you believe we’re transitioning to a New Earth, or that this is Armageddon. It’s unlikely you’re not questioning what’s going on. Because it looks and feels like insanity. As hearts are screaming, do something. Anything, but do something!
There are things in life that only exist because we keep feeding them. Connections are often based on history instead of meaning. Goals that belong to old versions of us individually and collectively can keep us from evolving.
Systems that were never stable, have been sustained by a bill we forgot to review and continue paying. Because nothing collapses when we unconsciously pay into the cost of keeping it alive with our attention and energy.
However there’s an opportunity presenting itself now. That has the power to release us from roles we didn’t realize we were stuck in. As this dynamic plays out. A pattern or truth that was always there, exposes a level of undeniable clarity.
What shows up won’t be new information, or a shocking revelation. And it’s not a delayed consequence we have to explain or fix. Simply allowing it be seen will create the change. Because clarity doesn’t arrive to comfort us. It comes to remove our ability to lie to ourselves.
What we’re receiving at this time, is an invitation to step beyond the dogma, and listen deeply… It’s a direction, enabling an awakening us to recognize a living, breathing presence within. Once accepted it provides a divine cathartic experience for uplifting oneself and humanity.
When people stop being passive and look deeper. What was ignored starts demanding movement. Connections and conversations become priorities. Decisions that were on the back burner, now feel urgent. Because things we avoid don’t just disappear. They build pressure until we can’t stand it anymore. Awakening means we can’t unsee what we’ve already seen.
When action is taken and the pressure begins to leave. You find that what’s left was never at risk. It may not be what you’d hoped for. Or what you feared might be lost. But it’s simple, clear, real.
It’s what remains when nothing is forced and everything within you stops resisting. The process may feel uncomfortable at first. But it’s also where life really begins to shift. And whatever was in the way doesn’t look or feel the same anymore.
Things that used to emotionally or dramatically weigh on us, start pushing us forward. We discover that what drains us is not meant to stay. It just there to show us where not to build our hopes or dreams.
Instead of overthinking we begin to sharpen our direction and realize what’s not worth our time.. This one change speeds up everything. Setbacks start making sense in a different way. As options are being removed that we were never supposed to take.
When hesitation drops, certain paths don’t register as choices anymore. They were just noise pulling us in different directions. This is movement built on elimination. When we stop rushing our own timing, things move faster. And we realize there are people that simply can’t follow us into what’s next.
This isn’t a realization, it’s a release. You no longer choose to react or escalate unpleasant situations. Not because you couldn’t, but because you choose not to go there. Every time you hold back, you aren’t losing power. You’re storing it. And the strongest move you make, is the one you never show. This movement converts awareness into strength.
What others do doesn’t disappear, it just stops mattering. Not because it’s justified. You’ve simply outgrown the need to respond. There’s no desire to explain, prove or settle anything. You’re no longer in the same place, as the people who once influenced you. With this new awareness many things become irrelevant. And when something becomes irrelevant, it loses all power over you. This shift changes everything.
When we let go of things that no longer serve us. A quiet shift occurs as we stop anticipating outcomes. Or feeling the pressure of what used to sit in the background of everything. If something survives, it’s either meant to stay. Or we need to see it clearly enough to remove it without confusion. Sometimes we don’t even know what it was. But there’s a definite feeling of freedom with its absence.
People don’t always gain immediate clarity with this shift. But they lose weight. That’s how we know it’s not a mood, or a mindset. It’s something our bodies recognize as finished. And the entire way a person moves through life starts to change. Because they’re no longer compensating for something that isn’t there anymore.
Once stable in this new way of being. The intensity, urgency, and passivity is replaced with grounded ease. Things that used to require effort don’t. Actions that felt heavy are now effortless. We’re not pushing things to respond. We’re moving because there’s nothing in the way.
Often when something’s about to end, it circles back. But not in the way we expect. It may be a message that feels out of place, a thought trying to pull us back into something. Notice when things don’t have the same weight or importance as they once did. That’s the sign it’s not returning, but leaving.
We’re being shown one last time, what no longer has access to us. And if we can see it clearly without reacting, it finally closes. What works well is knowing exactly where not to put our energy. What survives without effort, was never dependent on struggle. It’s like the correct choice, removes unnecessary layers.
When something ends, we often look for clarity in external signs. The real indicators however, show up physically. Shifts in being not only affect our thoughts & circumstances. They change how we feel in our bodies. A release is often followed by a realization that we were bracing ourselves for something, that didn’t even have a name.
We don’t need to revive or force things to continue when they’re already shifting. What ends without our interference was never ours to tackle. Let it complete, let it close. Even if it feels like there should have been more. Any discomfort is temporary, and usually not about what exists. But rather what we hoped for. And we’re not accustomed to things ending without our control.
Left with what’s real, doesn’t require constant energy. Often the most important breakthroughs happen in things so small we almost miss them. As we begin to understand this process, we stop fearing endings. And realize they were never there to take something from us. They were showing us what’s real.
Moving forward usually means stepping into the unknown. And for most people that’s uncomfortable. It’s hard not to misinterpret being patient for hesitation. Timing and avoidance are two sides of the same coin. Patience builds when we’re actually growing. Avoidance is fear hiding behind something, when change is imminent.
So ask yourself when you pause, yet know what needs to happen. Is this really about timing? Or is it my fear dressed up as wisdom? When we clearly see the difference. It’s hard to go back to that place of in between.
The body keeps track of everything the mind tries to avoid. Every time we acquiesce, stay composed, or say something’s fine - when our emotions are pushing back. The frustration or anger we feel gets stored in the body.
Connections that are real don’t need maintenance. They’re lighter and feel more natural. They exist without pressure or underlying tension to manage. And they don’t need constant reinforcement. They’re easy… and that’s how you know they’re real. Whenever we adjust our goals or expectations, just to keep a situation stable that isn’t. Pressure is still increasing in the body. It doesn’t just disappear, because we decided to mentally move on. The body waits to release until the situation is actually over.
As we begin trusting ourselves, life’s breakthroughs get easier. We no longer need to build courage to do things we know we should be doing. There’s a quiet confidence that takes hold as we trust our instincts and intuition. And our lives becomes more efficient. We move forward without dragging the past into every decision.
This is what most people are actually looking for. It’s a version of self that moves cleaner, faster, and with far less weight attached to every step. It’s less resistance. Confidence isn’t built by forcing a person to move forward. It appears when there’s nothing left pulling us back.
We’re never stuck because we didn’t know what to do. It’s because something was holding us in place. When it’s gone, there’s nothing left to negotiate with.
I want to close with a poem from James McCrae
Instructions before visiting Earth
In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from source
manifest into material form, don’t panic.
Your condition is only temporary.
You have been selected
for the opportunity of human incarnation.
This 3D simulation is designed
to break up the monotony of eternity
by giving you a fully immersive experience
as a distinct ego identity.
Your body will serve as your physical avatar
as you navigate a dense and dramatic reality.
There will be many distractions
causing you to forget your true nature and origin.
You will experience a range of emotions
from joy, to loneliness, to despair.
But remember – no matter
what trials and traumas you encounter,
your soul remains perfectly safe.
At times you may feel lost or afraid.
This is totally normal.
If you ever need guidance,
simply slow down your busy mind
and bring your awareness
to the quiet place inside yourself.
On this planet, nothing is permanent.
People and things will come and go.
You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments
only to lose everything you hold dear.
So cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself,
and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace,
for nothing is owned, only borrowed.
As you walk among
the people on the planet,
try to be a good guest.
Tread lightly. Remember
that you are only visiting.
Don’t make a mess.
Listen more than you speak.
Give more than you take.
Don’t keep your soft heart
locked inside a glass cage,
protected from wear and tear.
You’ll never make it out alive
and time passes quickly.
So come back with some battle scars
and good stories to tell.
