Do you ever find yourself caught up in anxious thoughts? resentments? grudges, jealousy, criticisms of yourself or others, rehashing of bits of conversation?
HeartMath is a wonderful tool for staying in or returning to a positive space, and bringing in your heart’s wisdom to guide you through any situation.
Call to mind a memory image that inspires gratitude or inspiration in you. This could be as simple as a sunset or beautiful flower, and it might be a tactile rather than visual image, such as petting your dog or cat. Give your attention to that image for a few minutes, breathing with it and opening yourself to the positive feelings it brings back to you.
AFTER you feel yourself calm down, ask your heart to give you a wise, helpful way to look at whatever situation may have troubled you. Often a new and/or positive view of the situation will come into your thoughts. This is a gift to you from your heart. Honor it by using it, and your heart will respond by giving you more positive guidance on future occasions.
Used regularly, HeartMath reduces anxiety and depression. It’s free, needs no Doctor Rx, & has no bad side effects!
