Awakening the Intelligence of the Heart
Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Contemporary research including the work of The HeartMath Institute and others, shows how to transform emotional and mental energy into new, satisfying feelings and intelligent perceptions. These simple practices help to shift our often automatic responses etched into our neural circuitry to an awakening the intelligence of the heart to Divine Presence. These methods focus on positive feelings such as appreciation, care or compassion, which help to create a coherence in our heart rhythms that has been shown to bring the emotions, body and mind into balance.
