If there is one message that should go out from all the teachers/ Guru's / saints, it should be this - connect with your heart. The word "teacher" contains the word heart hidden in it. There is no greater teacher than your own heart. Unfortunately it is the one thing that we keep running away from with most of our attention constantly drawn outwards. Rumi says, " there is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen " and that's the voice of your heart.
You can't listen to your heart when your mind is constantly chattering. So try to silence the mind first. You can do this by meditating on your breath. Find a quiet place to sit where you will not be disturbed and draw your awareness to your breath. Notice the quality and rhythm of your breath. Just notice without any judgement. Your mind is bound to wander and when this happens, and you realize that your mind has wandered, just gently bring your awareness back to your breath. When you start, just try to sit for 5 minutes, and gradually increase the duration.
During this quiet time, you may get lot of insights, so keep a book handy to note them down. Try to set an intention to connect with your heart before every "quiet sitting" practice. Be consistent and try not to judge your practice. See how it goes and feel free to share your experience in the comments.
