The Magician shares:

I would say the next workshop is about stepping outside of limiting beliefs so they don’t even come into play. When you are operating from this mode you are creating your reality consciously. The judgments stop, you enter the present moment, and then you choose what reality you wish to create in the now. We get addicted to the stories, the archetypes, and the roles we think we are supposed to play but those scripts have often times been written by others. This is more about waking up and becoming the conscious author of your own story. It’s a different way to think about things, and the more flexible one is in their beliefs the more opportunities they have to create what they desire.

    YOUR HEART’S WAY
    
    Think how often we hear expressions like, “Listen to your heart” or “In your heart you’ll know what to do.” Such advice, when used in a balanced and wise manner, helps us to reduce confusion and make good decisions. Although this intelligence of the heart obviously refers to an intuitive or spiritual type of understanding, it is often connected with sensations felt in the center of the chest, in the general area around the physical heart.

 

Modern science is finding that the heart has its own memory and intelligence, that it actually plays a role in the feelings of love and intuition that we traditionally associate with the heart. A powerful step in becoming attuned to your heart’s intelligence is simply to be aware of the whole area in the center of your chest-called the heart area-where you may gradually begin to sense a very gentle and soothing warmth.

Whether you are responding to a stressful situation, seeking creative inspiration, or wondering how best to use a period of free time, the following simple four-step exercise can guide you in making optimal choices.

It’s called “Your Heart’s Way.” You can use this exercise in almost any place at any time, and it literally takes only a minute or less.

1.) Pause with confidence. Mentally say to yourself, “I am calm, I am confident.” If you are spiritually inclined, you may instead wish to mentally utter a short prayer or mentally surround yourself with a golden
or white light.
2.) Breathe slowly. Allow your breath to become deep, quiet, and regular as your belly expands with each in-breath and contracts with each out-breath. Imagine that you are breathing in and out through the heart area in the center of your chest.
3.) Feel your heart. Take about seven seconds (perhaps longer when possible) and gently focus on your heart area-the whole central portion of your chest. While you do this, be inwardly quiet and very receptive.
4.) Sense your guidance. As you concentrate on the sensations in your heart area, intuit what your heart is communicating. Your heart’s guidance may be very subtle, showing itself in a feeling, thought, image, or inner knowing.As you practice, you will sense your heart’s guidance more easily and quickly. With continued practice, this helpful exercise may feel quite natural and can become habitual. You may even become so attuned to your
heart and its guidance that you will live almost every aspect of your life from that beautiful place of love. Keeping a portion of your consciousness constantly attuned to the gentle warmth in your heart area will not interfere with the performance of your daily activities. In fact, it will increase your effectiveness, your productivity, your creativity, and your feelings of peace, love, and joy.

7 Core Principles
[1] As science is helping us discover, the physical heart is truly amazing; and even more wondrous is the closely associated intuitive or spiritual heart, which gives us a wealth of subtle information and guides us in making optimal decisions.
[2]A keen, intuitive sense is at the very heart of creativity, inner strength, spiritual attunement,and both personal and interpersonal effectiveness.
[3]Tuning into your heartfelt intuitive guidance demands a degree of inner calmness and attention as well as sensitivity and openness.
[4]Gathering important factual information and seeking wise advice plays a vital role in helping you intelligently follow your heart’s guidance.
[5]A powerful step in becoming attuned to your heart’s intelligence is simply to be aware of the entire area in the center of your chest—called the heart area—where you may gradually begin to sense a gentle and soothing warmth.
[6]By keeping a portion of your awareness in your heart area, and by sensing your inner guidance in all that you do, you will gradually become skilled in following the steadfast wisdom of your heart’s intelligence.
[7]Remember, the more centered you are on the Target of Life, the greater your well-being, the wiser your choices, and the more effective you are in everything you do

    You and Your Energy: Key Points
  • Our mental and emotional diets determine our energy levels, health and well-being much more than most people realize.
  • Look at life as an energy economy game.
  • Each day, ask, “Are my energy expenditures – actions, reactions, thoughts and feelings – productive or nonproductive?
  • During the course of my day, have I accumulated more stress or more peace?
  • Keeping an asset/deficit balance sheet even for a few days will give you an extremely clear picture of where and how you’re adding to your energy account and where and how you’re overdrawing it.
  • When we consciously evoke core heart feelings, we nourish our bodies at every level. Like quantum nutrients, core heart feelings keep our cells regenerating.

_❤video#2How the Heart Brain Connection Works Greg Braden

Every moment of every day, your a heart is having a conversation with your brain

• Around the heart is a field of energy 3-5 feet in diameter.

• Every moment of every day your heart is sending signals to your brain instructing it to send what kind of energy to different parts of your body.

• Science has now revealed that atoms are concentrated fields of energy

• If you change the field of energy in which the atom lives, you change the structure of the atom. You can change the field electrically or magnetically.

• Our hearts are the strongetst bioelectrical and magnetic field generators in our body. Our hearts generate stronger electrical fields than out brain.

• Our hearts are 5000 times stronger magnetically than our brain

• The EKG of our heart is 100 times stronger than the EEG, the electrical information of our brains.

• So, it is electrical signals or frequencies generated internally that influence the the Brain on how much and where to send energy to different parts of the body.

The most sacred place dwells within our heart, where dreams are born and secrets sleep, a mystical refuge of darkness and light, fear and conquest, adventure and discovery, challenge and transformation.

***Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ*** bookmark ***~VIDEO 6~*** “ ***Did You Know?*** [Mysteries of the Heart❤] 2 min 33 sec

The Institute of HeartMath (http://www.heartmath.org) shares fascinating understandings of the human heart as explored in more than 20 years of its research. The ‘Did you know’ facts are lesser-known gems of information to enlighten curiosity on how your own thoughts and emotions are affecting yourself and others.

HeartMath Research Director Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., says, “It’s important to take a pause and really consider what our emotions are contributing to our environment and to other people. Our research and its applications can help people create a positive emotion-based environment that has real effects on physiology.”

McCraty said that the true nature of human emotion is one of care and love. He said HeartMath and other research shows that by focusing on these core heart-felt emotions, it can enhance one’s connection with others, and that this connection extends far beyond the individual.

The Spiritual Heart — is in a way a little like a smart phone, invisibly connecting us to a large network of information. It is through an unseen energy that the heart emits that humans are profoundly connected to all living things. The energy of the heart literally links us to each other. Every person’s heart contributes to a ‘collective field environment.’ This short video explains the importance of this connection and how we each add to this collective energy field. The energetic field of the heart even connects us with the earth itself. 7 min 19 sec

  Communication via hormones: the heart as a hormonal glandAnother component of the heart-brain communication system wasprovided by researchers studying the hormonal system. The heart wasreclassified as an endocrine gland when, in 1983, a hormone produced andreleased by the heart called atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was isolated. Thishormone exerts its effect on the blood vessels, on the kidneys, the adrenalglands, and on a large number of regulatory regions in the brain. It was alsofound that the heart contains a cell type known as ‘intrinsic cardiac adrenergic’’(ICA) cells. Theses cells release noradrenaline and dopamine neurotransmitters,once thought to be produced only by neurons in the CNS. More recently, it wasdiscovered that the heart also secretes oxytocin, commonly referred to as the‘love’ or bonding hormone. In addition to its functions in childbirth and lactation,recent evidence indicates that this hormone is also involved in cognition,tolerance, adaptation, complex sexual and maternal behaviours, learning socialcues and the establishment of enduring pair bonds. Concentrations of oxytocin inthe heart were found to be as high as those found in the brain (Cantin & Genest,1986

For the past decade Dr. Dominique Surel has been advising individuals in making intuitive decisions. Through her strategy work, which involves talking to high-level decision-makers, she noticed that most of these individuals rely on their intuition, even though they may not consciously realize it, or if they do, may not be able to articulate exactly what this means. She then came up with the concept that if individuals could understand the nature of intuition, learn how to develop this innate skill, and use it in conjunction with the left-brain functions, this would create an extremely powerful decision-making tool.

After more research which included studying scientific articles and abstracts on the subject, Dr. Dominique Surel developed her own methodology to teach the art and science of intuitive thinking. The added value of this training is the sharpening of the mind and a significant increase in the level of creativity.

  video #10 ***Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ*** bookmark Greg Braden 5 min 40 sec
  For over 22 years, Gregg Braden has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. Combining his discoveries with the best science of today, his original research crosses the traditional boundaries of science, history, and religion offering fresh insights into ancient mysteries.

The Institute of HeartMath is an internationally recognized nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to helping people reduce stress, self-regulate emotions and build energy and resilience for healthy, happy lives. Personal coherence, also known as psychophysiological coherence, refers to the synchronization of our physical, mental and emotional systems. It can be measured by our heart-rhythm patterns: The more balanced and smooth they are, the more in sync, or coherent, we are.

Personal coherence, also known as psychophysiological coherence, refers to the synchronization of our physical, mental and emotional systems. It can be measured by our heart-rhythm patterns: The more balanced and smooth they are, the more in sync, or coherent, we are.

Global coherence refers to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the greater community of human beings, while acting in concert with their own hearts, each other and nation to nation in harmony with our living planet. HeartMath believes coherence on a grand scale is highly achievable when large numbers of people focus their heart intelligence on a common goal.

The Institute of HeartMath (http://www.heartmath.org) shares fascinating understandings of the human heart as explored in more than 20 years of its research. The ‘Did you know’ facts are lesser-known gems of information to enlighten curiosity on how your own thoughts and emotions are affecting yourself and others.

HeartMath Research Director Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., says, “It’s important to take a pause and really consider what our emotions are contributing to our environment and to other people. Our research and its applications can help people create a positive emotion-based environment that has real effects on physiology.”

McCraty said that the true nature of human emotion is one of care and love. He said HeartMath and other research shows that by focusing on these core heart-felt emotions, it can enhance one’s connection with others, and that this connection extends far beyond the individual.

The Spiritual Heart — is in a way a little like a smart phone, invisibly connecting us to a large network of information. It is through an unseen energy that the heart emits that humans are profoundly connected to all living things. The energy of the heart literally links us to each other. Every person’s heart contributes to a ‘collective field environment.’ This short video explains the importance of this connection and how we each add to this collective energy field. The energetic field of the heart even connects us with the earth itself. 7 min 19 sec

  Communication via hormones: the heart as a hormonal glandAnother component of the heart-brain communication system wasprovided by researchers studying the hormonal system. The heart wasreclassified as an endocrine gland when, in 1983, a hormone produced andreleased by the heart called atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was isolated. Thishormone exerts its effect on the blood vessels, on the kidneys, the adrenalglands, and on a large number of regulatory regions in the brain. It was alsofound that the heart contains a cell type known as ‘intrinsic cardiac adrenergic’’(ICA) cells. Theses cells release noradrenaline and dopamine neurotransmitters,once thought to be produced only by neurons in the CNS. More recently, it wasdiscovered that the heart also secretes oxytocin, commonly referred to as the‘love’ or bonding hormone. In addition to its functions in childbirth and lactation,recent evidence indicates that this hormone is also involved in cognition,tolerance, adaptation, complex sexual and maternal behaviours, learning socialcues and the establishment of enduring pair bonds. Concentrations of oxytocin inthe heart were found to be as high as those found in the brain (Cantin & Genest,1986

The heart is in a constant two-way dialogue with the brain. But, McCraty explains, the heart and cardiovascular system are sending far more signals to the brain than the brain is sending to the heart.
