"There are two rules on the spiritual path: begin & continue." - Sufi saying.
Is your heart acting like your old high school coach?
Reflecting on a football coach's impact on my son, I explored how fear and anxiety affect our brain's ability to function. This led me to the EMWave2, a tool demonstrating the relationship between our emotions and heart rhythms. The Heart Math Institute's research supports this, showing that positive emotions promote cognitive clarity and stability. A simple practice, Heart-Centered Breathing, can align our heart and mind, fostering emotional well-being. This technique proves essential in managing stress and enhancing life quality.
How to forgive…when nothing else works
Forgiveness isn't about changing your thoughts, but about detaching from them. Our minds, adept at problem-solving, often trap us in a cycle of blame and resentment. True forgiveness begins when we become observers of our thoughts, recognizing them as separate from our essence. This shift in perspective is key to moving from a state of inner turmoil to one of understanding and genuine release.
