When it comes to making decisions, do you tend to listen to your mind or to your heart? Many times we make life-altering choices based on what we know in our head is the best, even if our hearts are telling us otherwise. But, what if we started connecting our hearts to our minds? What kind of choices would we make then?
Research about the heart/brain connection was always a bit one-sided, with the focus on the heart’s reaction to the brain’s directions. But, The HeartMath Institute comes at it from a different perspective. They have been studying the link between the brain and the heart for over 25 years and learning how the heart influences our perceptions, emotions, intuition, and health.
Their studies have found that communication between the heart and the brain is a two-way street and that each organ is constantly influencing the other. Research suggests that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain does to the heart. This direct connection influences how we process emotions, our cognitive abilities, and how we react to stress.
We all have experienced this connection first-hand. When we become emotional about something in our lives, our heart rate changes, doesn’t it? If you’re having a stressful day, and your heart is racing, but you take 15 minutes to meditate or practice deep breathing, your heart rate slows down and you are able to calm your mind as well.
When we learn to incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we can overcome a lot of the issues that may be holding us back from becoming our best selves.
Such as:
- Confidence
- Emotional balance
- Reduction in symptoms of Depression or PTSD
As a HeartMath-certified practitioner, I have seen firsthand the changes that can occur when you start to connect the two. With the techniques I teach during sessions, you will be able to experience quick emotional shifts, such as a reduction in stress levels, more control over impulsive behaviors and habits, and a shift from negative perceptions to positive ones.
If you are curious about this modality, I am happy to offer you a free consultation to tell you more and answer your questions.
