THE INTRODUCTION YOU SHOULDN’T SKIP

When I first started working with the energy of the heart, I knew I

was dealing with something very magical. Through deepening my

work with heart energy, I have seen hate, anger, anxiety and all

negative emotions and experiences simply melt under its power.

I now know all forms of disharmony can be transformed

miraculously by connecting to it. When one is in its power, one is

living from truth. All of the delusions of life fall away under its

strength. To this day, the power of the heart continues to amaze me.

My life has been like that of most people - A mix of happy and sad

times. I have experienced some quite awful periods in my life where

I have felt burdened by what life has dished up. Why me! I would

often say.

When I have found myself in those moments of stress I have often

struggled to find a way out. I am sure you can relate to times in your

own life when everything just seemed to get too much. Life

sometimes gets overwhelming. The mind gets tense and your

thoughts can‟t find positives. It seems the more active the mind

becomes, the more stress and tension builds.

This creates a never-ending downward spiral into the darkness of

negativity. When the mind continually thinks in a negative way, it

becomes very hard to pull yourself out of it. Joy seems to take a big

side step around you. Have you ever noticed when one thing is not

going right, everything seems to follow suit?

Life just implodes on itself. Anxiety and worry enter, and before too

long you wind up miserable and frustrated. I know I have had

numerous experiences like this. In these modern times it is becoming

a normal existence for a lot of people.


5

Through working with the heart I have noticed an interesting

phenomenon. Every time I found myself thinking of the heart it

pulled me into a peaceful and supportive space. It created an energy

within me that seemed to override any negative experience I was

having. Another thing I noticed was that when the energy of the

heart was focussed on, the mind got quite. When the mind quietened,

stress seemed to disappear.

It became very clear to me that the mind was the creator of the build

up of stress and tension within my body. All of the thoughts and

perceptions I held of situations that were presenting, were actually

the cause of disharmony. I have also discovered that negative

reactions of the mind are often a result of the fears that we hold.

Negatives that pop up are just the resistance to seeing them.

I have found that the mind and the heart are both very powerful

generators of energy. If I use them the right way, they can greatly

impact on the quality of my life.

One day while pondering the meaning of life through my navel a

thought came to me. What if I could turn up the energy of the heart

and hold myself in its power on a continual basis. Would this mean I

could do away with all negatives in my life? Wow! What a

wonderful thought. Could this be possible?

Every time my attention was on the heart it would build in intensity.

It was like turning up the volume. As it came up, stress and tension

went down. When this realisation occurred I started to experiment a

little. I initially started to sit and focus on the heart for about 10mins

at a time to see what would happen.

I found after doing this for some time, the calm feeling I was

experiencing was staying with me even after I stopped focussing.

The longer I did it, the longer it stayed. I got really excited about this

discovery. Could happiness be as simple as focussing on your heart?


6

Through working with this energy I knew I could make myself

happy when ever I wanted to. Simply by bringing my attention on to

the heart I could feel contentment. This worked for me every time.

My negative mind yielded to my heart. By bringing my attention on

to my heart, it turned up its volume and it drowned out the negative

mind.

This book is just one journey of discovery to truth. The techniques

and practices I have discovered, if used, will change your life. There

is not one negative situation that cannot be dramatically improved by

applying the power of the heart.

ENTRAINMENT

The universal law of resonance

Entrainment, this is the technical aspect of the book. You know, the

stuff you need to know to get the most out of this book. Once you

understand this basic universal principle, you are going to change

your life in a very positive way.

Basically, the law of resonance states that when two energies come

in contact with each other the less dominant frequency has to shift its

vibration to match that of the dominant one. It does not matter if the

energy is positive or negative, the most dominant will set the pace.

If you own two or more clocks with swinging pendulums, (you

know, like a grandfather clock), you can see entrainment first hand.

This experiment has been done many times with the same result. Put

all the clocks next to each other making sure their pendulums are all

swinging at different times. Then, leave the room for an hour or so.

When you come back you will notice all the pendulums are now

swinging in unison.

Why? Because the law of resonance came in to play and all the

pendulums came into vibrational match with the most dominant one.

You can see entrainment working everywhere around you if you

look. Our whole lives are being governed by it. Who hasn‟t

experienced feeling uneasy when an angry or aggressive person

comes into your space? Straight away their energy has an impact on

your own energy. You get affected by their intensity of vibration.

You may have felt great before they came into the room, but now

you start to tense up.

Often when someone is angry, they have turned up the volume of

their mind energy. This energy then becomes highly focussed and

concentrated. So if you are going about your day in a normal volume


8

of energy and all of a sudden a more highly concentrated energy

comes near you, guess what happens. Yes, you guessed it; you will

start to come in line with the dominating energy because of

entrainment. Straight away you start to feel a little on edge or

agitated.

This is an example of a negative pulling a positive into its energy. Of

course you can bring a negative into a positive as well. In fact, this is

what this entire book is about. How you can consciously change any

negative experience you may find yourself in, simply by working

with the law of resonance.

Boy, I wish I knew about this years ago. I would have saved myself

a lot of grief.

As touched on in the introduction and further into the book, there are

two very powerful generators of energy in the body - the mind and

the heart. Oh, by the way, if you skipped the introduction page like

most people do, then go back right now and read it. It adds to the

picture I am painting.

All energy on this planet is a form of electromagnetic energy. In

fact, the planet itself is the biggest generator of this energy. We

actually can align ourselves to this field which has a positive impact

on our lives. One of my teachers, Naisha Ahsian created a wonderful

meditation to connect with the energies of Earth. She calls this

technique Primus Meditation. By working with the Primus

Meditation you entrain to its electromagnetic field. This allows you

to keep energetic balance in these times of change. If you are

interested in this technique it is available on CD through my centre.

Anyway, now comes the scary part.

We as humans have invented some very powerful machines and

devices that emit concentrated energy. When we are near these


9

inventions we can‟t help being influenced by them. Why? Because a

lot of them are emitting a much more concentrated energy than us.

Sadly, most of our wonderful inventions of the last twenty years or

so emit disharmonious energies. Ever wonder why there is so much

stress and tension around? One of the most common devices is the

mobile phone. I don‟t know about you, but I would never keep one

close to my body because of entrainment.

There are numerous inventions that create powerful forms of

concentrated negative energy. Mobile phone towers, high tensile

power lines, TV‟s, computers, refrigerators, microwaves and radio

waves, all whizzing around in the air to name just a few.

All of these things are playing havoc with your energies right now.

Well right about now if you are contemplating ending it all and

jumping off a cliff, hold on a second. It‟s not all doom and gloom.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Because of the law of

resonance, we can override the negative by turning up our positive

energy.

Your heart is a centre which is able to generate Unconditional Love.

Because of this, it is aligned with the almighty universal

consciousness. This consciousness is powerful. In fact, it‟s the „be

all to end all‟ powers. Your heart has the capability of merging with

this all encompassing frequency. In so doing, you become the most

intense energy in any given situation. Because of entrainment you

can override any negative with it.

If you turn your heart energy up, then until another frequency of a

higher intensity comes along you will continue to resonate and

experience life from that level.

When another frequency comes in and holds more intensity than

you, then you have to shift in vibration. If you don‟t like what the


10

shift did to you, the only way to change it is to turn up your volume

or introduce a more dominant frequency.

Always keep in mind that entrainment (the law of resonance), is one

of your most powerful allies for a happy and prosperous life.

By keeping your volume up, you lower the possibility of entraining

to an undesirable frequency. When your volume is low, you increase

the likelihood of swinging from one frequency to the next, whether

they are harmonious or disharmonious. You become like a rag doll

being fought over by two kids being pushed and pulled in all

directions.

THE HEART VERSUS THE MIND

Realisations in the vege garden

Have you ever wondered what causes the body to get stressed? No, it

is not the person in your office that‟s a pain in the neck causing it.

Have you ever been aware of the mind when you are stressed?

What normally happens within the body when you start getting

uptight?

Well one day I got myself into a tizz about all the things I had to do

and was at boiling point. I was sitting at my computer and just

couldn‟t take it anymore. The energy of the computer was pulling

me into a resonant match with it and causing more negative stress. I

pushed my chair back and said enough is enough! So I stood up and

went outside and walked around in my vegetable garden to settle

down.

After a while, when my mind started to quieten, a light went on

inside me. I realised that all the busyness in my mind turned up the

volume of the negative stresses. My mind was jumping from one

thought to another and just getting tenser with unresolved questions

and issues. Turning my minds energy up would be fine if it was full

of happy things. But my mind was cluttered with anxieties and

frustrations about not getting things done.

So what was I doing?

Well, by focussing so much energy in the brain, I increased its

frequency and turned it into the dominating energy in my body. This

concentrated and intense energy was one of disharmony. So because

of the law of entrainment, my whole body had to come into line with

its frequency. This meant I turned into a walking blob of tense,


12

stressed energy. Not only was I not coping in the head, but now my

whole body started to react in a negative way.

My energy level dropped, I lost my ability to be productive and I felt

heavy and burdened. Every part of me suffered as a result.

In this state, it is impossible to get a resolution to anything. So

things just keep tumbling away into chaos. Meanwhile back in the

garden, I think it was just as I walked past my cabbage patch that

another thought popped into my head.

Every negative experience I have ever had has started first as

thoughts in my mind. All positive things I have experienced always

had an attached loving energy radiating out of my heart. The

positives seemed to start in my body, and the negatives in my head.

Think about this.

Every time something doesn‟t go right, or you feel tense or agitated

in anyway, the mind seems to get tense as well, doesn‟t it?

It seems to be part and parcel of the experience. The two go hand in

hand.

When you find yourself experiencing joy or happiness the mind

becomes less active. It seems that these experiences come more from

the body.

Well about now I was passing the bean trellis in my vege garden and

my realisations were going through the roof. I realised the mind was

a place of delusion and unrest and the heart was a place of truth and

happiness.

If the cause of stress and burden was the result of the over-activity of

the mind, then all I had to do was calm it. I figured by bringing my

focus onto another part of me and out of the mind, it should disrupt


13

the building momentum of mind energy. Therefore, the mind would

naturally calm and so should the rest of me.

I sat down next to a chilli bush and pondered the best place within

my body to fix my focus. Bingo! Of course, the heart is the centre of

truth and is said to be the place of Unconditional Love. What better

place could there be?

If by focussing intensely on the head pulls my whole body into its

energy, then it should be the same for the heart. If I could turn the

volume up of my heart energy, then through the law of entrainment

my whole body should vibrate at its frequency.

Through past experience, I have found that touching and breathing

into the area I want to focus on, helped to strengthen the focus. So

here I was sitting cross legged like a Buddha under my chilli bush.

My hands on my heart, while at the same time visualising breathing

into it.

If only the neighbours were watching, they would think I am crazier

then they initially thought. But then again, they might think I was

having a heart attack. Just look at the picture, Sitting on the ground

in my vege patch holding my heart with a vague look on my face.

Thankfully there were no sirens of an ambulance screaming down

the road.

Okay back to the chilli bush. I have since called this focussing and

breathing technique Heart Breathing. Heart Breathing can

disengage a stressed mind in an instant. By breathing into the heart

whilst focussing there, you turn up the volume of heart energy.

Because of this, the loving characteristics of the heart start entraining

your whole body.

So put this book down now and bring your focus on to your physical

heart. Slowly breathe in with the intent it is going into the heart.


14

Take about 10 breaths in this way and see how you feel. When you

finish come back and continue reading.

Welcome back

What you are now experiencing is an energy shift from the head

energy to the heart energy. Feels good huh?

Science has proven that the heart radiates an electromagnetic field of

approx. 4 metres, while the brain radiates a field of approx. 1.4

metres. No! That was not 14 metres for the brain it was one point

four. It‟s quite amazing to think that the heart is more powerful then

the brain. It is also recognised that the heart can think and in fact

holds a very high consciousness. This consciousness is directly

connected to universal truth and love.

The mind, on the other hand, holds the reality of its moulded

perceptions. These perceptions come from our life‟s conditioning,

which I am sorry to say are all based on fear and delusion.

Let me put this to you. If you had a choice of having your life run on

fear and delusion or truth and love, which would you choose?

You see your heart energy is very capable of running the whole

show with love. It always makes the right choices; it energises you

and continually supports health and happiness. That is of course, if

you allow it to function and take control. But because we all tend to

think too much, we increase the energy of the brain and then it

entrains the heart to take a less dominant role. The brain becomes the

boss.

Because of its conditioning, the brain just struggles along getting in

the way of itself, creating friction and stress. The results of this are

all around you. Just look at everyone in your life, you won‟t have to

look too far to see what I mean.


15

The heart is more powerful then the brain. The mere fact it has a

bigger electromagnetic field than the brain tells us this. So it does

not take a lot to make it the boss. Just by doing Heart Breathing you

turn up its volume. In a very short time it entrains the brain.

When the heart is in charge, everything becomes more positive and

more accurate decisions and choices are made. You get in the flow

of universal truth and abundant joy becomes your normal state.


16

SWIMMING IN THE POND

In any given moment we exist in an energy frequency pool (A bit

like a fish swimming in a pond). All possibilities of experience

reside within our field/pond.

Let‟s pretend I am a fish for a moment. My day to day life as a fish

takes me to different parts of my pond and brings different

experiences. I may swim past a big fish and it may decide to chase

me which may create fear in me. I might see a little creature walking

along the bottom and I may decide to eat it. There are really endless

possibilities.

Many experiences can and could happen in my pond. Whatever lives

in there with me can colour my day to day life. The realms of

possibility for my life are governed by what resides in my pond.

So being run over by a car could not happen in my pond because it

simply is not within the realm of possibilities. Why? Because cars

don‟t live in my pond. I can only experience from my pond of

frequency.

Now once again let‟s step out of my imaginary pond and let me

become human again and take a look at my life. I too have a band of

energy frequencies like the pond that I reside in. All possibilities of

experience that I can present to myself come from within this pool. I

can only experience energy that I am resonant with or compatible to.

This is my pool.

So for me to experience harmony and happiness I would need to

exist in a frequency band/pool that is able to resonate with this

frequency. I need to swim in the pond that holds this frequency.

To paint another picture here let‟s associate the vibrational band of

frequency with numbers. Let‟s say my pond carries the band of


17

frequencies from one to ten. So my current existence within this

pond can only give me the experience of one or combinations of the

numbers one to ten. I can‟t experience the number fourteen, for

example, because it is not a part of my number pool.

Now let‟s say I was a very negative person. You know the type, a

grumpy old bugger full of judgements, anger and criticisms, never

happy and always something going wrong. How I am energetically

dictates the pond I belong to. This is the case because whatever

experience I am having must be within my ability to resonate with it.

I attract to me (because of the law of attraction) what I am creating.

My pool is a reflection of my personal vibration. In other words my

thoughts, words and actions dictate my pond type.

Okay, let‟s give these negative energies the number values of one to

ten. The more positive energies of life like happiness and love etc.

we will give the number values of eleven to twenty.

It is impossible for me to experience love in the one to ten band I am

residing in because it does not exist in this pool. I can run around all

day trying to find love but it just can‟t happen. It does not matter

what I do, if I belong to the vibrations of one to ten, I can‟t have a

fourteen.

The only way for me to experience this fourteen is to change or

expand my energy pool to incorporate it. When a shift in frequency

occurs within my energies, it opens me up to a different pool of

possibilities.

Let‟s now tie this concept in with the power of the heart. As I have

and will discuss throughout this book, the mind is a place of negative

creation and the heart is a place of truth and love.

Working with the number scale again let‟s give the mind one to ten,

and the heart the eleven to twenty scale. This presents to me a

choice. I can swim in the one to ten pond or move into the eleven to


18

twenty pond. Remember, if I live in the one to ten pond I cannot

possibly experience a eleven to twenty number.

When I increase my energy vibration, I open my life up to greater

possibilities. If I change pools into a higher number I afford myself

opportunity to experience love and happiness. I move into the

potential vibration of positives.

What‟s the best way to increase my vibration?

Well one of the best increasers of energy available to me is the heart.

As I continually raise my frequency from working with the heart, I

bring to me a bigger pool of possibilities.

Really it‟s not that I change pools, I just make my existing pool

bigger.

Swim fast into the heart little fish

This is where truth lies

This is where Love resides

The ocean of unlimited possibilities of peace and contentment is

waiting for you to swim

We all can have whatever we desire simply by bringing our pond

into the resonant band of our desires. If you swim in the ocean of

your desires, you must get wet.


19

PUTTING THE HEART IN CHARGE

When we turn up the heart, it takes control. The universal truth at its

core then governs all reactions and responses within the body/mind.

The mind then becomes the servant of the heart and not the other

way around. The character of the heart colours everything. I have

found things seem to fall into place when I function from a heart

level.

I make better decisions, I become more involved with my life and an

overall wellbeing emerges. My coping mechanisms also greatly

improve. All judgements, criticisms, and negative emotions fade

away. I become less attached to outcomes and therefore less affected

by them. Everything frees up in my life and I become more joyful

and loving.

The loving energy of the heart seems to take over. Because of this it

also has a healing affect on the body. Recovery times from illness

quicken and symptoms just disappear.

I once taught Heart Breathing to someone who had chronic joint

pain. Within 3 weeks his pain was totally gone.

Wow! The Power of the Heart.

Throughout the day he would sit and breathe into the heart for about

10 mins at a time. He would repeat this about 8 times throughout the

day. Before learning to Heart Breathe he was taking quite strong

pain killers to alleviate the pain. From working with the heart, the

pain has gone and his quality of life greatly improved.

He has continued the exercise, not for the pain, as he has none, but

because he enjoys the feeling of the turned up heart energy running

through his body. He also enjoys the clarity and new found energy it

has given him.


20

Through Heart Breathing you put the heart in charge. The more you

practise, the longer you stay in its energy. I highly recommend

practising it numerous times through the day. Even just 10 breaths at

a time does wonders.

On the day I lost the plot sitting at my computer I was able to turn

my whole energy around simply from Heart Breathing. So next time

you find yourself stressing over some issue or person at work or any

other place. Just sit and breathe, you will be amazed at the results.

By doing this you will become much more objective in regards to

the stressful situation. It will give you a calm space to re-focus.

Maybe then, you will see it in a different light and no longer allow

yourself to stress out.


21

EXPANDING & ALLOWING

From the day I had my realisations about the power of the heart, I

have continued on a regular basis to sit like a Buddha under my

chilli bush. I have occasionally tried a banana tree as well for a

different perspective. Anyway, while heart breathing one day I came

up with an extension on the basic technique.

On the in breath I would breathe into the heart, but on the out breath,

I would expand the heart energy through my entire body. Once I

filled my entire body with its energy, I would then extend it out to

fill my entire energy field.

By sitting immersed in this flow of heart energy, I changed my entire

frequency to one of love. My whole body carried the power of the

heart.

This is an experience you just have to try.

Any negative feelings or emotions you may currently have just

dissolve into this beautiful energy. Whilst in this space, all your

worries disappear.

Now I am not saying they won‟t come back, but this exercise will

give you space from the negatives in your life. It will also re-

energise your system, increase your energy levels. Each time you

heart breathe and expand, you are learning to function from a more

positive and loving place. If you practise this often, through time, it

becomes your normal state of living. You truly start to live from the

heart and your life becomes full of its characteristics of love,

compassion and appreciation.

To increase the affect of this method, bring yourself in to a state of

„allowing‟ the process to happen. I have found every time I enter

into this expanded state, if I drop all defences and just „be‟, it


22

intensifies the experience and benefit. I detach from everything and

just stay fully open in the moment. From doing this, it seems to hold

me in the energy of love long after I stop the heart breathing.

I should mention though, I found allowing not as easy as it sounds.

To open my body and energies up to love, means I had to expose all

of the things I have held onto that are not of this energy. When I first

attempted to open up, I felt very vulnerable. In fact, there was a fear

of letting go of my normal state. To allow, I had to let go. To let go,

meant I had to allow myself to drop all the negatives that were

resisting the new loving energy.

If you can get yourself into an allowing place, resistance will drop,

and the energy of love will envelope you. When I find myself in this

loving state, I can‟t help but feel gratitude and appreciation for my

life.


23

SITTING IN THE JOY OF GRATITUDE &

APPRECIATION

The more I sit and „Heart Breathe‟, I find the characteristics of the

heart arise. Love, Joy, Gratitude and Appreciation build within. I

have been practising this technique for quite a while now and have

noticed they are becoming a normal part of my life. It has actually

got to a stage of, if I am not feeling Love, Joy, etc, it feels unusual.

It‟s almost like a contrary to a normal state of life. It feels awkward.

I know if I am not in a state of gratitude and appreciation I am too

much in my head. In this state, I am feeding the volume of the brain.

If I do this enough it will pull me out of heart energy and negatives

slowly start creeping back in.

When I am in a state of gratitude and appreciation there is no

tension, stress or any disharmonious feeling within my body/mind.

Simply by Heart Breathing I am changing my experience of life to

one of happiness. When I continually turn the volume up of my heart

it dissolves negative experience.

Sitting in the energy of „gratitude‟, „appreciation‟ and „allowing‟

causes joy to grow within. This has such a positive healing affect on

my life. No longer do the day to day stresses and burdens seem to

matter.

When I heart breathe and expand it through my body I often bring

my focus on to how good my life is. Appreciating the quality of life

just snowballs the whole energy. Because of the universal law of

attraction I bring to myself more of this loving and abundant energy.

Everything prospers as a result.

Once again, by using the allowing process when you are in a state of

appreciation it makes a big difference. It turns up its volume.

Opening up to the energy of appreciation and just immersing


24

yourself in its flow let‟s you decrease negative resistance. The power

of appreciation is immense.

The more you can embrace the qualities of the heart, the more you

will live and function from this level. I can say with a certainty, that

living from the heart makes your life abundant. It is your true path to

happiness, joy and prosperity.

Gratitude and Appreciation are very powerful energies for an

abundant life so let‟s recap on a great technique.

Sit yourself down and take some slow deep breaths. Bring your

focus on to the heart centre and breathe into it. Think of all the

reasons to have gratitude and appreciation. As you breathe in to the

heart directly intend to feel their qualities grow stronger and stronger

within. Keep breathing and expand the energy of gratitude and

appreciation to fill your whole body. Once you feel this, just sit in its

energy and allow it to flow.

By sitting this way for 5 to 10 mins. or so on a regular basis all

negatives in your life will eventually disappear. Another wonderful

side benefit of the practice is that you will entrain people around you

into its energy as well. Wow!

Enjoy it.

THE BIG TWO

The Universal Laws of Resonance & Attraction

The day I discovered the importance of universal law it changed my

life. There are many universal laws, but two play a big part in our

lives. They go hand in hand with each other. These two laws are the

Law of Resonance and the Law of Attraction.

I have already dealt with the law of resonance in earlier chapters but

to refresh your memory. The law of resonance states that when two

vibrations come together, the less dominate frequency has to shift its

vibration to match that of the dominant one. This has to happen to

create energy balance.

In all areas of your life this law outplays within your experience.

When there is a dominant energy, everything else has to come in line

with it. So if you‟re intense in your head, it entrains your whole

body. If you are intense in the heart, the same thing happens. Be

aware, that if you are being exposed to a condensed, vibrationally

loud energy frequency, positive or negative, you will come into

vibrational match with it. Universal law states that it can‟t be any

other way.

Okay! I hear your next question. What if two energies are simular in

intensity, what happens?

When two energies are close in frequency they actually create a third

harmonic frequency and both become that vibration. This creates a

slight shift for both energies as they become a combination of both.

The law of attraction is yet another universal law that plays a big

part in our life. The law of attraction states what you create, you

attract back to yourself. Or put another way, what you give, you get

back.


26

In my previous book, “A Path to Harmony”, I go into great detail of

how this law can be used to bring happiness to your life. But

basically, what energy you create in your life you get back. Every

time you think, say or do anything, you are changing your state of

vibration. This shift in frequency is your universal language. It‟s

how you tell the universe what you want.

This is why so many people are always struggling with their lives.

They want certain things in their life, but often are creating an

opposing energy. They are out of sync with their intentions. For

example, they may want happiness and they do every thing they feel

will give them that result. But on another level they may be

criticising or judging others. This changes their frequency and the

universe responds.

The law of attraction works on the vibration you are creating. For

example, when you think a negative thought towards someone, let‟s

use the above example of judgement, the energy of that judgement

impacts on your overall energy. When you change your energy with

the frequency of judgement, you are telling the universe you want

more opportunity to judge.

See the picture?

You can‟t deceive the universe. It‟s very black and white. You do

this, and that will be the result. No ifs, buts or maybes. You create

energy, even if you are not aware of it. You change your frequency

and yet again the universe responds.

Are you aware that you are a big blob of subtle vibrating energy?

That sounds great doesn‟t it?

You are made up of literally thousands of different energies all

swirling around in and outside of your physical body. Every part of

you is a form of energy vibration.


27

Every time you do anything whether it‟s thinking, saying or doing

something, you are changing your energy frequency. This changes

the overall „vibrational you‟.

When this happens, the universe responds to the new you. You are

continually attracting back to you what you are, vibrationally

speaking.

Spooky stuff huh!

I highly recommend you take a long, hard think about the law of

attraction.

What are you currently telling the universe through the vibration of

your words, thoughts and actions?

All universal laws are there to give you tools to create an abundant

life. It‟s only our lack of understanding of them that creates the

negatives.

When you realise how the laws of resonance and attraction work,

you can change your life in a very powerful way. Why struggle to

attain happiness when you have the whole universe to help you.

I think I would rather go in to bat with the universe team than alone.

It makes life much easier. In a real sense you are either working with

the universe to give you abundance or you are working against its

natural flow creating disharmony. You cannot step outside of this,

you have to play. It is the way you and the universe work.

Okay, so how can we combine the two laws and get abundantly

happy?

Well the first step is “really understanding” how they function.


28

So you know that everything you do (thoughts, words and actions)

create a change in your energy. And you now know whatever energy

you are vibrating at tells the universe what you want. Remember

your vibration is your universal language.

So now you have a choice to make.

Do you want the universe to give you harmonious things or

disharmonious things? I would assume you said harmonious.

Well this is really simple then.

From now on you need to be “very mindful” of what you are

creating. Every time you think, say or do, your above choice comes

into play – disharmony or harmony.

Be aware of what you are creating. That‟s all it takes.

All experiences have a positive twist. It only takes a shift in

perception to see. I recommend you read, my last book – “A Path to

Harmony”. This will give you an understanding of how to shift

perception.

Okay, I can almost hear someone saying; well what about the things

that come into my thoughts automatically? I don‟t have any control

over these things do I?

Doesn‟t matter how much I Heart Breathe, this will not change the

automatic reactions and thoughts popping into my head.

Well at this stage no it won‟t. The reason for this is that your

subconscious mind has what I call perceptional patterns. The

automatic reactions and things that pop into your head happen as a

result of these patterns.


29

You look at life from the perceptions you hold. I am sure you would

agree on this fact. These perceptions were moulded from the

perceptions of your parents and the people that were in your life at a

young age.

Your life was indeed shaped from your early years. These years

imprinted into your subconscious mind certain response

mechanisms. The subconscious mind is an interesting thing. It is

extremely obedient to the conscious mind. Whatever the conscious

mind tells it, it believes and obeys.

It does something else that is quite amazing as well. It stores

automatic responses to repetitious perceptions. If we repeat a

response or reaction to a situation enough the subconscious mind

takes note and creates a memory pattern.

In so doing, it helps the conscious mind by allowing things to

automatically unfold. Wow!

This is great as long as the automatic responses are generating

harmonious energies. Ahh! But you guessed it. For most people

these subconscious patternings (as I call these automatic

reactions/responses) are mostly negative in nature.

Why is this? Well, simply because the majority of perceptions that

we hold are manufactured from fear. You see your parents, bless

their souls, moulded „your‟ life through „their‟ perceptions. Their

perceptions were moulded by their parents and so on and so on.

Some of these perceptions carry all the fears and negative

experiences they have accumulated for generations after generations.

Once again, why is this so?

Well simply because most people are living their lives from the brain

energy and not from the truthful heart. Brain energy is always under


30

the influence of fear, judgement, worry and negative stress. It can‟t

make clear decisions due to its attachment to all of these negatives.

Whatever decisions are made are tarnished in some way as a result.

Through repetition of the way we react or respond to the things we

attract to ourselves, we create subconscious patterns.

Repetition deepens and strengthens these patterns.

Once they become deeply ingrained we really have no choice over

our responses/reactions. They are like deep grooves that we fall into

every time we present to ourselves experiences. The subconscious

mind sets pre-grooved pathways for us to move down to make the

mind more efficient. I find this absolutely amazing.

A lot of our reactions are unavoidable simply because of our deep

ingrained patterning.

Well, can we change the patterns? Answer – Yes!

Fortunately, these subconscious patterns can be changed simply

through repetition and changing the response to the situations that

come to us. This is where we can use the power of the two universal

laws – Attraction and Resonance.

Okay, let‟s start you down the road of changing your life to a place

of love and happiness.

The first step is awareness. You have to be alert to a negative

response to any given situation. As soon as the subconscious

perceives a negative experience you automatically fall into an

ingrained pattern (your usual response). This is an automatic

pathway, remember, so you don‟t have much say in it. What you

need to do is - as soon as you recognise you are going into a negative

pattern you need to change your response into one of love.


31

When you do this, the subconscious mind goes; alright the mind has

changed its response. If it (this is the subconscious mind talking

now) keeps doing this I will have to create a new response pattern.

So through repetition you reprogram a new response and the

subconscious will create a new response pattern to once again make

the mind function more efficiently.

Bingo! You have now dissolved the old pattern and now have a new

positive pattern.

Now I should point out this pattern shift will not happen in a week.

You probably have had most of your patterns all your life, so it will

take some time to change them. But change they will if you‟re

consistent with your shift in response.

To support you in your shift you can draw on the power of the heart

through resonance. If you can‟t seem to find a way to positively

respond when you recognise, then go to the heart and breathe. Ask

yourself the question – how can I respond in a positive way. Just

dwell in the heart and eventually an answer will come. If for some

reason it doesn‟t, then just be in the heart.

Simply being in the heart energy is in itself a positive new response

and it will change the old pattern. The heart energy is positive,

intelligent and loving. At the very least, your new pattern will carry

these qualities of the heart.

Let‟s have a bit of an overview of how you can now change your life

by working with the two laws.

So to change your negative patterns and life you need to be aware of

the law of attraction – what you give out energetically, you will get

back.


32

Make changes now in your reactions and responses to always carry

positive energy. In so doing, you work with the law of attraction to

create positively. If you can‟t shift your perceptions then read my

last book – “A Path to Harmony”.

Next, short circuit your old subconscious patterns with new positive

responses. If all else fails draw on the law of resonance.

The law of resonance states that when two vibrations come together,

the less dominant frequency has to shift its vibration to match that of

the dominant one. So by turning up the volume of the heart you

bring any negative response/reaction into resonance with the heart

energy characteristics.

There you have it – the recipe of a happy and abundant life.


33

LOVE - THE MASTER HEALER

When I find myself in the energy of love I am so happy. I find any

little niggly ache or pain in the body just disappears. I have more

energy and feel so alive. I sleep better, I wake refreshed and my

whole day just goes perfectly.

Through my personal experiences and studies I have found out why.

You see, all negative afflictions stem from disharmonious vibrations

within the body. As mentioned earlier, most of these negative

energies are created out of the mind. Exceptions to the rule are the

negative energies we come into contact with that are higher in

volume. Remember the law of entrainment and how it works.

When we open up to the power of the heart, we open the most

powerful healing energy available. All negatives can be dissolved by

turning up the volume of the heart energy.

Why can the heart energy do this?

Put simply, it is Unconditional Love and all of the qualities

associated with it.

Physics tells us that everything is energy. Broadly speaking there are

two aspects to this one energy that everything is a part of –

disharmonious energy & harmonious energy. All things that affect

you in a negative way happen as a result of vibrating from the

disharmonious aspect. And of course the entire range of positive

experiences of life from the harmonious side of the spectrum.

The characteristics of the extreme ends of each aspect contain the

root cause of all experience. For the disharmonious end it is fear.

From the harmonious end, it‟s Unconditional Love. So all negative

experience stems from a fear, and all positive stems from love. The


34

only thing that can bring health, happiness and wholeness to life is

energy from the harmonious side. The more powerful the positive,

the more impact it will have on your life.

Please, right now, ask yourself a question. What energy is currently

entraining your life? Is it from the fear or love end of energy?

As the chapter title suggests, love is the master healer. For many

years now I have been aware of the healing power of Unconditional

Love. I have continually searched for ways to generate more of it

and looked for ways to rid myself of what is not of love

continuously.

From personal experience, I have been able to accelerate healing,

dissolve anger, fear, worry and stress simply by introducing

Unconditional Love into the picture. This has worked for me and

also for people I have worked with in my clinic. This is not a quick

fix miracle cure, as they don‟t exist, but with some commitment to

self and effort you can move mountains.

I have meditated on the quality of love and have done things that

gave me opportunity to experience its true power. Many techniques I

have used throughout the years have instilled a great sense of peace

and calmness. Love has brought me contentment to life and

detachment from its ups and downs. The waves on the ocean have

calmed to reflect a stillness of a lake.

However, every now and then I find myself capsizing the boat by

being caught up in the head or entrainment from external

experiences. But I have found support and comfort in the heart

simply by turning its volume up.

So how can you start to work with love more to heal your life?

Well, I could just simply write down all of the techniques and ways I

have used over the years. But that would take a complete book in


35

itself and really it is not needed. I keep hearing one of my old

teachers saying to me „keep it simple stupid’. Yes it does not have to

be a big complicated procedure to be effective. Quite the contrary,

the strength of everything lies in the simplistics of what it is. That‟s

another one of my teachers popping up in my head.

Let‟s keep within the flow of the book and work with universal laws

and the heart. Heart Breathing will turn up the energy of the heart

and allow it to take over the running of the body/mind. This in itself

will bring up the energy of love and its qualities. I recommend you

regularly Heart Breathe as an ongoing development and maintenance

system.

But let‟s say you have a situation popping up in your life that‟s

troubling you. Or maybe an old issue that won‟t go away. You

know, that hang up over someone or thing. To paint some pictures

here I will give some examples of issues and ways to correct them.

Example one:

You just lost your job and you‟re at an age where it may be difficult

to find another. You are still paying off the new car and house and

life starts to look real grim. You have a fear of not coping and “how

will I manage?” Anxiety starts to creep into your life and is starting

to grow into panic. What can you do about this?

Well there are a few things happening here.

One - the mind is working overtime at generating the disharmonious

end of the energy spectrum – fear. This is causing the doubt and

anxiety and is tumbling you into a spiral downwards to a very scary

place.

Two – With all of this active focus in the head you are turning up its

volume and your whole body is being entrained to the negative

frequency you are generating.


36

You become the frequency of fear and disharmony. This will only

increase your inability to find light at the end of the tunnel. All of

your normal decision making process will cease to function correctly

and everything will be clouded with negative burden. A person

would find it very hard to pull themselves out of this state.

What normally happens to people in this situation is they find their

blood pressure goes up. Stress levels jump through the roof and most

people will either run for an energy support blanket or end up at the

doctors being prescribed antidepressant pills.

I often see people hitting the booze or drugs for support and a bit of

relief. While this may help them to feel a bit better it is only adding

to the problem in the long run.

The first thing that needs doing here is to start bringing up the

volume of the heart energy to a point where it will entrain the brain.

This will give clear insight and direction and will dissolve the

heaviness of the situation. It will give you some breathing space.

You see, all of this intense state is only happening because of the

mind. It makes a bigger, scarier picture than what really is.

Heart Breathing and expanding technique will do wonders here as

well. But to give this whole process a bit more of a kick we also

need to look at the negative emotions that are bubbling away. These

need to be dealt with quickly otherwise they will increase and

deepen existing subconscious patterns.

A way of dissolving them is to work with the power of love.

So what we will do here is Heart Breathe and expand. Remember in

previous chapters I talked about breathing into the heart and exhale

its energy out in to the body and fields. Okay, when you are in that

heart space bring your focus onto the energy of Unconditional Love.

Directly intend to experience its quality. To help you here you may


37

find it easier to remember a loving experience you have had in your

life. This will give you a direct energy to connect with.

Once you have this loving energy in your body, then bring the

negative emotion into the heart and allow the energy of love to

dissolve it. Visualise it dissolving into love and know in your heart

that it is gone.

The best way to do this is to isolate each emotion you are feeling and

bring one in at a time. Let‟s say you feel scared, well, bring that

energy in and dissolve it. Then the energy of anxiety, bring it in and

dissolve it and so on and so on.

If these techniques are done frequently throughout the day you will

turn around the negatives. In so doing, new opportunities and

insights will come into your life. You see, when you are holding

your frequency in the energy of love, positive abundance has to

come to you because of universal law.

Example two:

You had a very bad childhood and your father really abused you and

ever since then you have disliked men. You also weren‟t given

recognition as a child and because of that you have felt second rate

and have sought approval from your associates ever since. You tend

to always have something to say that makes you feel important to

make up for the lack of value you were shown when young. It

becomes a life of justifying your existence. This simply has

happened from the lack of love from others and most importantly

lack of self love.

Okay, what to do with this situation?

Once again the only way to fix it is with love. Both issues here are

ingrained subconscious patterns considering they have been there for

most of the person‟s life. First thing we have to do is be true to our


38

self and recognise we have issues. Next we take a look at them one

by one as with last example. Because of the negative experience

with the father, other males could trigger fears connected to him. So

as with first example we heart breathe, expand and bring our intent

on to directly feeling the energy of love within the heart. Once we do

that then we bring the energy of the fear into heart and dissolve it.

The second issue, the one of lack of value can be dissolved the same

way. Also another way of working on both of them is to bring the

energy of love to the area in the body we are storing it in.Yes, these

issues are patterns in the subconscious, but we also hold onto these

energies within the cells of the body.

So we connect with the energy of love via our technique then what

you can do is take that energy to the place or places it is stored. Once

you are in the energy of love, search your body for the stored energy

of the issue. At this stage you can also ask your heart to tell you, as

the heart has all the correct answers. Once you locate it, breathe the

energy of love into the area to dissolve it. If you can‟t find it then

just intend to bring it into the heart.

Example three:

This person has chronic arthritis in the hands and it seems to be

getting worse.

With this we can just use the breathing, expanding and experiencing

love energy. Make sure we are really focussed on the love energy

moving into the hands. As we expand the love energy out, feel it

dissolving the pain and the cause of it.

So there you have it. These three examples have given you the idea

of how to work with the master healer – Love. Whatever you want to

change in your mind, body and spirit this technique will work. I have

used these simply techniques many times with great results.


39

Remember though, nothing comes for nothing. It requires effort and

focus to get results. These techniques have never let me down.

Sometimes they may take a while to kick in so don‟t be disheartened

if it does not seem to be working. Persevere; it just may take a bit

longer.

The basic Heart Breathing is the most important part. If you do this

often it will turn your life around. The heart truly is the place of

unconditional love and if you regularly focus there, you will entrain

to it.

Also it is a good idea once you do any of these techniques to finish

with five minutes or so dwelling in appreciation and gratitude.


40

LOVE - WHAT IS IT REALLY

At this point I should also talk about the difference between

unconditional love and conditional love. Many people think they are

living their life from love and still wonder why life seems to have

turmoil. I often get asked why this can be. People often mistake true

love (Unconditional Love) with false love or man-made love

(Conditional Love).

True love is when you allow the flow of life to move through you

without being attached. Seeing all things in life as equal and joyful

opportunities of experiential growth allows you to live with

gratitude. Just „being‟ in a state of „loving appreciation‟ for all

experience, no judgements or conditions – this is true love.

I was sitting and meditating one day and realised that most

relationships are built on false love – I love you but if you do that I

will not love you. I looked at all the many relationships I have had

over the years and realised they all had conditions attached to them.

All relationships, either personal, business, or general friends or

associates, were all built on conditional love.

Why didn‟t I see this years ago. Of course if I put conditions on

people and situations, I don‟t allow them to unfold naturally. This

has to compromise their life in some way and would eventually lead

to resentment on some level.

Sitting in my meditation I realised that conditions only serve one

purpose, they create restrictions. Any form of restriction in a

relationship or life will ultimately bring repression or break down of

communication. This will plant the seeds of eventual conflict.

I look around at the people I have met and are currently in my life

and can see what can happen from restrictions. In relationships,


41

where either one or both partners suppress their issues they end up

growing old, sick and miserable, or they eventually fight so much

they break up. Both outcomes are not ideal.

I have found by living from Unconditional Love, I live life the way

it is meant to be. When I hop into the flow so to speak of

Unconditional Love, I step into the natural resonance of the

universe. When I place no restrictions on my self, my life is allowed

to unfold perfectly. I know I can‟t avoid an abundant life if I

resonate Unconditional Love, as this is my God-given right.

I used to struggle a lot with my life by holding on to my moulded

perceptions. My active mind was always putting conditions and

pains into the picture which only pulled me away from what was

rightfully mine. Love of the unconditional kind truly is my and your

true state of existence, and one that should be cherished.

When I first started to look at how I could live from a state of

Unconditional Love, I realised it required a deep hard look at what I

was creating. We, as humans, tend to bash ourselves up with the

energetic abuse we inflict on our lives. I knew the lack of

contentment within my life was an indicator of the lack of

Unconditional Love I held for myself.

Let me tell you a little secret.

Do you know the purpose of life?

Well, if you said to work hard and to accumulate mass amounts of

money or get married and build a house and have kids, you would be

like most people. You would also be wrong.

I am not saying it is wrong to have these things. Quite the contrary,

by developing Unconditional Love you will find a much deeper

richness in all of your experiences. I have found the more I truly


42

love, the more things I like come into my life. This is the universe

repaying me in kind for the wonderful energy I radiate.

If I am “unconditionally loving”, the universe gives me more

opportunity to experience it. Remember like attracts like. Finding

your way to your true state of unconditional love is your purpose, all

the other stuff is just experience.

I have come to know the purpose of life is to recognise my true state

of existence. I know that you and I and everyone on this planet is a

divine spark of God. This spark is the very essence of Unconditional

Love. This is who I am. This is all I have ever been.

My mind and my attachments to material things and people have

prevented me from seeing who I really am (a being of pure

Unconditional Love). When I become attached to outcomes and

situations, I step away from the real me. I make it a little harder to

recognise my true essence of love.

In the past, I have found conditional love breeds communication

breakdown. We, as a race, tend not to fully communicate our

thoughts and feelings. Why? Because of fears we hold and the

conditions and perceptions we have as a result. If we didn‟t have

conditions on our relationships with people we would not hold back

our communication of what we are thinking and feeling.

Have you ever wondered where all of those suppressed things you

wished you could say to people go? I have sat for hours thinking

about this. Some people might call me weird for doing this but I

often sit and contemplate life‟s little quirks. Try it sometime it helps

deepen your understanding of life.

All uncommunicated thoughts and words clutter up our energetic

system and take us away from experiencing Unconditional Love.

They bind us in delusion and struggle. Eventually if we continue to


43

not communicate we will block up our energy channels and we will

get sick. It‟s that simple.

To live life “unconditionally” means to live from your true state of

being. Your heart is the centre of Unconditional Love, that‟s why

when you turn up its energy you truly live.

My meditations have taught me the importance of living life with

love. I now do everything possible to develop my ability to create

from an unconditional level. The more I can drop judgement of self

and others, the more I live in the energy of happiness. I make it a

priority in my life to work hard on doing away with all attachments.

I used to be absolutely scared to express myself. But really, if

someone has an issue with me truthfully communicating to them,

well it‟s their issue, not mine. If they take it the wrong way, then that

is their choice. All I can do to help the situation is to direct love

towards them and offer them appreciation.

I have learned to have more acceptance of all life‟s situations. If I

truly want the best for myself in this life, then I have to allow my

true essence to emerge from within. By extending love out into

every situation and to every person I come into contact with, I help

myself to unfold with love. I do this out of joy and reverence for all

life and not for gain.

It is the purpose of life to attract to ourselves all experiences and to

reach a point in our evolvement to be non-attached to all experience.

There is no good or bad, there is only experience for growth. Be in

love with this journey through your experience. Honour yourself and

others, and all things with unconditional love.

When you can see the beauty and perfection in all life, you will truly

understand this journey. You will know that everything is perfect

and so precise.


44

Then and only then you will realise your true essence – The

Unconditional Loving being that you are. God in creation.

FINAL COMMENTS

Thank you for taking the time to read Power of the Heart. The

information and techniques contained within these pages, if put to

use, will dramatically change your life for the better.

So many people run around clogged up with stress and tension and

experience unnecessary burden and hardship. I know this because

many years ago I was one of them. I always felt there must be a

simple tool to bring harmony and balance to life.

I knew we didn‟t have to struggle with our day to day issues. As I

have grown and changed, I have become aware that the struggle and

resistance to life, only creates that what we want to leave behind.

Our over-active minds bind us. We are continually stressing

ourselves out because of our intense and amplified brain energy.

When we drop our focus into the heart, it opens us up to the true joy

of life.

All aspects of Love, Appreciation and Gratitude come bubbling to

the surface. When we open and just „be‟ without attachment, we

truly start to live.

When we live life from the heart, we are living the divine path.

There is no better way for us to live.

You have within you an enormous power. One of great Love and

beauty that will nourish you on all levels, if only you let it. This

energy is empowering, energising and so very vibrant.

This is the Power of the Heart


46

I would like to leave you with some words written by Swami

Muktananda who has captured the essence of the heart in many of

his teachings.

May you continually fall in love with yourself

Lots of Love and Happiness

Trevor Gollagher

Everything you seek in this world is within you. Supreme joy blazes

inside. But it is not enough merely to have an intellectual

understanding of this. You have to go deep inside. The heart is the

true house of God.

It is the seat of happiness, the abode of unending love.

Go there.

Swami Muktananda
