Heart Matters!

Please join me on my private group to practice heart and brain coherency!

Our heart rate is always changing, creating a pattern. Heart rhythm patterns, based on our "heart rate variability" (HRV), are a powerful window into our health and emotional wellness. HRV biofeedback will help you to access a healthy and high performance state called heart coherence which balances your mind and emotions. This helps prevent stress and clears your thinking for more effective choices.

​

 Free technology offered on the GCI app using only your finger and phone camera will measure your heart rate variability.  You can used audible guides to help you increase coherency and you can watch how when in your heart practicing feeling good, how your coherency gains strength and see it lower when your mind intervenes.  

With a consistent practice, you will emotionally restructure and rewire your brain. This shift will increase your baseline coherency and help you to do in-the-moment emotional refocusing in the face of triggers and stress.  It helps us take the needed pause to prevent unwanted reactions,

The author weaves a personal history and desire for better social skills that led him to researching the essential elements of how people can deeply connect with themselves and others. He distinguishes his loving family being an atmosphere of intellectual stimulation, but did not teach him how to make heartfelt connections.  He mentions the effects of detachment and withdrawal in life as he became a practiced emotional escape artist.  In his discussion, he compassionately explains the importance of presence for grief, trauma, mental health, including references to suicide.

If you are interested in post-pandemic growth and connection, please add your heart to the learning community where a safe space invites creative thinking about relational topics on healing, heart qualities and building caring, strong kinship.

​

Group Reminders

• Let’s joyfully stay curious and open to new insights!  

• You are invited to share whatever is heartfelt that this reading has generated within you in the group's safe and accepting space.

• Try to contemplate positively any new or challenging contributions by any in the group.

• Try not to take anything shared in the group as a personal attack.  Most people truly do not know what we are walking around with in our minds that weigh us down that feel so apparent to us.  Typically, other people are naive how to navigate better our battered hearts.

• Please try to remember that what is obvious to you may not be so to me...that's why we are sharing.

• Please be mindful that all in this group are in a personal journey of self-discovery and growth that includes integrating deep hurt from the past that registers as traumatic responses frozen in how we relate to others and ourselves.  Some of us are healed in certain areas whereas not in others and vice versa.  

• Please be intentional in why you share what you share.  

• Please, let’s hold judgment at the door in this room—that of ourselves and others.

• Please be respectful and uphold the dignity of all humans even when someone might challenge an area of your personal experience, knowledge or understanding.

• Anything shared or in the book that is too triggering for you, please take care of yourself and do some HeartMath techniques to help make a good decision on how to proceed.
