HeartMath – Activating Your Heart’s Intelligence

Now you too can discover the science and practice of your heart’s intelligence – along with a community of like-minded others – to create vibrant health, satisfying work & relationships, less stress
and a deeper sense of purpose in the world

You’re driving to an important meeting, and you’ve just left your home with plenty of time to arrive.

Ahead, you spot a guy wearing an orange vest and waving a “Lane Closed” sign. The traffic in front of you is at a dead stop. Street work, today of all days.

You’re going to be late – possibly very late.

But even before you had this harried thought, you felt emotion: frustration, anger, fear, or anxiety, which registered in your heart.

Your heart responded by quickening, signaling your brain, which then had the thought: “I’m going to be late and my client will be upset with me,” etc.

Hello, stress.

It’s often the small daily stresses that impact you the most. And this cumulative effect begins to take its toll on your body, mind and spirit.

Even if you have a regular meditation practice, exercise regularly, do yoga and practice positive affirmations, life keeps moving faster and getting more complex. Stress mounts, and you do your best to manage it.

But what if you could nip your emotional response to “negative” situations in the bud – and actively reduce stress in the moment – which frees you to use your energy for creating the life you truly desire?

You can do this not by changing your thoughts, but through HeartMath’s proven and easy-to-master methods for emotional mastery used by tens of thousands of people, which you’ll learn in these 7 interactive online sessions.

HeartMath is the world’s most influential scientific organization focused on activating the powers of the heart for greater joy and less stressful living.

Through decades of research, they have developed the fundamental steps to heart “coherence,” a scientifically validated state in which your heart and brain are energetically aligned and cooperating with one another.

Coherence is associated with inner calm and other positive emotions such as love, joy and appreciation that decrease stress and improve your wellbeing, mental clarity, cognitive functioning and performance.

Through this groundbreaking course, Activating Your Heart’s Intelligence, you will gain the skills and tools to:

• Decrease emotional upsets and increase positive feelings so that you can make empowering and life-affirming choices for yourself and loved ones and our world
• Loosen the hold of stress, worry and anxiety by actively choosing joy, compassion, appreciation and love instead
• Improve your mental focus and clarity regardless of what’s happening “out there”
• Create an optimal inner terrain for healing and for easing the stress of chronic pain and illness, by consciously accessing your heart’s wisdom
• Build an inner reserve of energy that helps you to thrive in these complex and chaotic times
• Activate your heart’s intelligence to bring your work and life into greater alignment with your deeper purpose
• Create more authentic and harmonious relationships
• Achieve your goals more quickly and easily

“…One of the most tangible, practical and accessible teachings that perfectly marries the world of science and spirituality and provides tools that all of us can use to make the world into a better place.”

That’s what one participant said about her experience in the Activating Your Heart’s Intelligence Course.

This course draws from more than two decades of HeartMath’s pioneering work in heart-based living and scientific research that shows that the heart is far more than an organ that pumps blood.

Your heart possesses a powerful intelligence with the capacity to heal and energize your body, mind and spirit – if you had the right tools and methods to harness this power.

During this course – which we offered last year to rave reviews – you’ll master the easy, proven techniques that enable you to do just this, opening the door to a more physically, emotionally and spiritually fulfilling life.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have learned how to activate their heart’s intelligence, and many people who use HeartMath’s methods report that others perceive now them as a more positive, healing presence and often feel drawn to work with them.

Now, you too will have an opportunity to learn and apply these heart-based methods to improve your baseline health, increase the positive experiences in your life, and access your deepest wisdom on how you are called to be and serve in the world.
