A. We listen to our
“Without even realizing it, we pay more attention to our minds and thoughts in day-to-day
life than we do to our hearts and inner guidance. We’re often locked inside our heads,
having programmed ourselves to rein in our emotions and dismiss any inklings or intuition as
inappropriate, scary, or strange. More often than not, when faced with an important
decision, we weigh the pros and cons and decide that the rational choice is the best one.
But how often have you thought, after making a rational decision — whether or not it worked
out —if only I’d listened to my heart? Have you ever found at least one reason not to do
what your heart told you to do for fear of someone else’s reaction? Or come up with
excuses not to do what deep down in your heart you want to do most? When we ignore
the heart’s messages, we bury our dreams and extinguish our inner fire. “

“Both the heart and the head process information
that governs our bodily functions, determines our
attitudes and responses, and generally maintains
our connection to the world around us. But their
approach to that information and their interpreta-
tion of the facts is often quite different, one from the
other.
The head — which, for our purposes, includes the
brain and mind — operates in a linear, logical man-
ner. Its primary functions are to analyze, memorize,
compartmentalize, compare, and sort incoming
messages from our senses and past experiences
and transform that data into perceptions, thoughts,
and emotions. The head also regulates many of our bodily functions.
By accumulating and combining millions of partial truths and volumes of incomplete data,the head manages to put together somewhat cohesive patterns of reality. When we rec-
ognize patterns in our lives, we’re able to make certain presumptions about the world that
save us time and energy.
But that pattern-making ability, essential though it is, has drawbacks. The head can easily
get locked into set patterns. Instead of seeing things from a fresh perspective, it can stub-
bornly presume that it “knows what it knows” about people, places, issues, and ourselves,
blocking us from seeing and accepting new possibilities. When stubborn mind-sets rule, all
new information we encounter must conform to the head’s existing paradigm to be per-
ceived as valid. At the survival level, maintain a sense of order and stability is essential. But
when we’re trying to find new solutions to problems, or trying to develop new attitudes, be-
haviors, or perspectives, it can be a liability. “ ~The HeartMath Solution

HeartMath provides tools that connect us with the heart of “who we truly
are” for living healthier, fulfilling lives and building a brighter future.
Since 1991, the HeartMath Institute has researched and developed relia-
ble, scientifically based tools to help people bridge the connection be-
tween their hearts and minds, and deepen their connection with the
hearts of others.

“The heart shows us the inherent core values in our lives and brings us
closer to the sense of true security and belonging that we all crave.
Heart intelligence is often accompanied by a solid, secure, and
balanced feeling. Thus we can tell when we’re in contact wit the heart
by how it feels. The intelligence of the heart acts as an impetus for what
some scientist call qualia — our experience of the feelings and qualities of
love, compassion, nonjudgment, tolerance, patience, and forgiveness.
These qualities are often accompanied by a peaceful, clear state of
awareness. When we’re engage with our heats, the mind slows down
and our thoughts become more rational and focused. The deductive
process starts to coalesce into clarity and understanding. We feel more
in control, and we perceive life from a more hopeful, optimistic perspec-
tive. As people practice the tools and techniques that harness heart
intelligence, they begin to notice that they feel less caught up in their
problems and in the hectic pace of daily activity. Their perspective
encompasses a wider view.” ~The HeartMath Solution

Heart/Brain Communication (A nod to the science)
“In exploring the physiological mechanisms by which the heart com-
municates with the brain and body, Institute of HeartMath scientist asked
questions such as these:...How do emotional state affect the heart, the
autonomic nervous system, the brain, and the hormonal and immune
systems? And how does the heart’s information-processing system
influence the body’s other systems, including the brain?
What they found is that the heart communicates with the brain and the
rest of the body in three ways for which there's solid scientific evidence:
neurologically (through the transmission of nerve impulses),
biochemically (through hormones and neurotransmitters), and
biophysically (through pressure waves). In addition, growing scientificevidence suggests that the heart may communicate with the brain and
body in a fourth way: energetically (through electromagnetic field
interactions). Through these biological communication systems, the heart
has a significant influence on the function of our brains and
all our bodily systems.”

More Cool Heart Facts:
The hearts starts beating in an unborn fetus before the brain is formed.
Scientists still don’t know exactly what makes it start beating. The
heartbeat is generated from within the heart itself and doesn’t need a
connection to the brain to keep beating.
Core heart feeling reduce the activity of the sympathetic nervous
system (that branch of the system that speeds heart rate, constricts
blood vessels, and stimulates the release of stress hormones in
preparation for action) and increase the activity of the
parasympathetic nervous system (that branch of the system that slows
heart rate and relaxes the body’s inner systems), thereby increasing
its effectiveness.
Positive emotions such as happiness, appreciation, compassion, care,
and love improve hormonal balance and immune system response
From research at the Institute of HeartMath, we’ve concluded that
both intelligence and intuition are heightened when we learn to listenmore deeply to our own hearts.

Cut-Thru Steps
1. Be Aware of how you Feel about the issue at hand.
2. Focus in the Heart and Solar Plexus (green and yellow in the image) —
Breathe love and appreciation through this area for 10 seconds of
more to help anchor your attention there.
3. Assume Objectivity about the feeling or issue — as if it were someone
else’s problem.
4. Rest in Neutral — in your Rational, Mature Heart
5. Soak and Relax any disturbed or perplexing feelings in the compassion
of the heart — Dissolving the Significance a little at a time. (take yourtime) Remember it’s not the problem that causes energy drain as
much as the significance you assign to the problem.
6. After Extracting as much Significance as you can, from your Deep
Heart sincerely Ask for appropriate guidance or insight. If you don’t
get an answer: Find something to Appreciate for awhile. Appreciation
of anything often facilitates intuitive clarity on issues you are working
on. ~The HeartMath Solution

8. Is there another way to do it? Release it?
OR fill it with more love?
Our emotions actually function like a guidance system to let us
know when we are resonating with our core essence and love.
And so honestly by simply paying attention to how you feel you
can know whether or not you’re doing what is honestly right for
you what works for you.—Dean Shrock
