Heart-Centering

The heart is an organ which is central to the life of a human being. It pumps life-giving blood throughout the human body, infusing every cell with oxygen and nourishment. It is said that the brain is the center of human consciousness. The heart might rival the brain in this regard. Another way of viewing the issue is to say that the heart complements the brain. The heart and the brain collaborate to help our “self” generate our consciousness.

Many, perhaps most, of us “center” our approach to the universe in our brains. Oftentimes, the heart is relegated to a secondary role. Let us consider a possible alternative route to enhancing our consciousness. That approach is to center our sense of “self” on our hearts. This would not diminish the importance of the brain in our consciousness. Instead, it would augment the functioning of the brain, expanding the depth and breadth of our conscious experience. Interestingly, research as shown that heart transplant recipients often undergo a post-procedure change of personality. Oftentimes, the heart recipient’s personality begins to mirror that of the heart transplant donor. This is empirical evidence that the heart plays a central role in consciousness.

How might we go about trying to center our attention on our hearts? We meditate and quietly focus on this powerful organ. We feel it pulsing. We see if effectively and peacefully moving vital blood throughout our arteries and veins. We view the energy emitted by our heart pulsating outwards as it passes through our auric field. Out into our surrounding universe our hear-centered energy flows.

The energy generated by our hears is gentle, yet strong. It affects the people, animals, and plants around us. In the words of the popular Beatles’ song, “Love, love, love, all you need is love…”

Be the change the world needs, send love out into the world.

Chakras

Integrative medicine has created the opportunity for the general public to learn many new things including more about the basic chakra system.  For thousands of years it has been recognized by yogis that if the chakra system is out of balance a person could not be completely healed.  With that in mind “sensitive people”, and healers can often determine blockages in the chakra system.

For more in depth information regarding the basic chakra system consider taking, “Clearing Through the Chakras“.  A class now being offered in Brookfield, WI this summer, and repeated in Sun City West this fall.

Ten Reasons to try Healing Touch by Guest blogger Flor Taboada

I’d like to introduce a very good friend of mine as a Guest blogger today.

She shares her article Ten Reasons to Consider Healing Touch

By: Flor Taboada, HTCP

This article was originally posted on Flor’s blog. It is a great way to introduce Healing Touch to others.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider Healing Touch as part of your wellness routine.

Healing Touch can:

1. Promote wellness and healing at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

2. Relieve stress, tension and anxiety. Healing Touch is very effective in relieving stress because of its capacity to “turn on” the relaxation response. This is a deep state of relaxation of body and mind where neither of them is over-active.

 

3. Trigger the body’s inner repairing mechanisms. Our body knows how to heal and repair itself. During a Healing Touch session, the brain releases neurochemicals that counteract the fight or flight response caused by stress. These trigger a chain reaction of beneficial physiological changes that promote body repair and healing, putting the body in the best possible position to heal itself.

4. Reset our “inner computer” so we can feel well again. Healing Touch is based on the premise that we have a subtle energy system whose balance is closely linked with health and well-being. Healing Touch techniques are able to restore a proper energy flow to make us feel emotionally, mentally and physically well. “I hadn’t rested so well for a long time” or “I feel like a new person” are very common comments from clients after a session.

5. Help us connect with that quiet center within and open up to new insights and ideas. Healing Touch can bring a deep sense of calm and inner peace. A healing Touch session provides the time and the space for you to let go of worries and cares and feel calm, grounded and centered. This can open our mind to new insights and ideas, either during the session itself or the days that follow.

6. Offer specific techniques to deal with specific problems. Healing Touch stands out in the field of Energy Healing for its collection of techniques (over 35) designed to bring general balance and healing to both body and mind, or to target specific issues, bodily functions and organs. Some examples are: back and skeletal issues; lymphatic, nervous or immune system imbalances; headaches, lack of focus and concentration; general cleansing and detoxing; dealing with trauma, anxiety, stress and depression; assisting the body while undergoing medical treatments, like chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and pre and post-surgery.

Healing Touch:

7. Is supported by research. Healing Touch research has been conducted in a wide variety of settings and with a number of different problems and situations.

8. Is widely accepted by and respected among the medical community and it is offered in hospitals and clinics around the country.

9. Has a Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics. All Healing Touch practitioners abide by a professional Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics.

10. Has recognized Credentials and Endorsements as a continuing education program through Healing Touch Program.

Healing Touch Program is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) has granted accreditation to the Healing Touch Program – Healing Touch Certified Practitioner (HTCP) for demonstrating compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs.

“Snowbird” becoming reality…
