Compassion is at the very heart of the teaching of Jesus. Compassion flows abundantly in our own lives when our hearts are awakened to the presence of God. Recent scientific research supports pre-modern religious traditions in understanding that the human heart is much more than just a “pump” but is, rather, a center of profound emotional/spiritual intelligence and the instrument by which we may bring our lives into alignment with Divine energy, love and compassion. Drawing upon research by the
HeartMath Institute and classic teachings and practices of the Christian wisdom tradition, this class will support students in an experiential process of awakening the intelligence of our own hearts that we may increasingly serve as instruments of God’s compassion in the world.
