How to Maintain “Heart Coherence” & Train Your Own Resilience

By Cheryl, June 7, 2010 4:44 am

HEARTMATH

after years of extensive research, claims that…

It is not our perceptions of events that cause stress, but our emotional response to those perceptions.

Apparently, when you’re stressed – feeling anxiety, anger or other negative emotions – your heart processes that information and sends it to your brain in the form of disordered heart-rhythm patterns, leaving many of your body’s systems out of sync. This is what HeartMath calls a state of heart incoherence, but the research shows you can regain and sustain heart coherence by intentionally feeling and focusing on positive emotions such as appreciation and caring.

To find out more click here or go their website: http://www.heartmath.com/

Science meets with William Shakespeare’s consummate words conveyed through Hamlet:

“…for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking (or rather FEELING) makes it so...”

Here’s one of the HeartMath TIPs offered on the site:

We start each day with a certain amount of energy. If that energy is continually spent in stress reactions, there won’t be enough left to replenish our reserves or to maintain a healthy immune system. When we allow our energy to be drained by stress on a regular basis, we set ourselves on a path toward fatigue and exhaustion. Try this simple one-day exercise to stop the energy drain of everyday stress:

Think of five things that stress you out each day, things you could change fairly easily if you put your heart to it. Think of these things as deficits, each one sapping a share of your valuable energy. Here are some possibilities to get you started: traffic – getting to work, your state of mind when you think about your overbooked schedule, communicating with a particular family member, friend or co-worker, thinking about money issues . . .

OK, create your own list, tailoring it to your lifestyle and the things that regularly trigger your stressful emotions. Now, do your best to reduce the negative, stressful responses to the items on your list. When you start to tense up during the day, notice how you’re feeling and try to shift to a more positive feeling of ease or appreciation. Stay conscious of what you are feeling and you’ll gradually reduce those energy-draining deficits and accumulate energy assets.

Take a Moment this Memorial Day to

By Cheryl, May 30, 2010 11:35 am

Honor Our SOLDIERS

listen to this song….(go ahead, you’ll be glad you did)

Likeness to Lily’s –TRAINING CADENCE

(#5 on the play list)

The night before the burial of her husband’s body, Katherin Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time.  The Marines made a bed for her.  Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop to play songs that reminded her of her husband, ‘Cat.’

One of the Marines asked if he could continue standing watch while she slept.

* * *

When asked:  “What can we do to make things better for you?” – the first thing a soldier usually says is . . .“We need your support and prayers.”

There’s a silent movement going around to show solidarity for our troops by wearing the color BLUE on each and every Friday.  Consider sending some energy of support and good wishes to our soldiers…I imagine they could use it!

…I’m a hero
I’m  a target
I’m a cog in the war machine…

Lyrics from Likeness to Lily’s — TRAINING CADENCE

Boosting Creative Flow with Forgiveness

By Cheryl, March 26, 2010 10:43 am

In her book, CONSCIOUS CREATION, Dee Wallace has a whole chapter devoted to forgiving.  She affirms forgiveness as an invaluable tool for creating because it is a choice to move out of the energy of constriction and into flow.

She believes the reason most of us stay stuck in non-forgiveness is that “we love to wallow in what has happened.  Not only does it give us a comfortable excuse for why we can’t create, it offers a wonderful sense of community with our fellow victims.”

Choosing to take responsibility gives us the power to transform our situation.
Most of us will remember Dee Wallace as the actress who played the mother in the film, E.T: The Extra-Terrestial. (“Phone Home!”) And yet, she says the biggest gifts she ever received were the numerous people who sabotaged and hurt her.  


The amount of love I was able to experience in forgiving them, and the freedom it created, transformed my life.

She relates how her life has been filled with the lessons of forgiveness.  Her relationship with her father was a consistent challenge of forgiveness.

He couldn’t promise me he would be sober when I was a finalist for homecoming queen, so my teacher escorted me.  I won.  Later my mom would tell me that he was in the stands watching. It didn’t matter.  Bottom line, the bottle was more important than I was.

At one point after his suicide, my teacher said to me “Everyone does the best they can do. We’re all here to learn.”  That helped me forgive the crap and celebrate the good, so I could begin to move on.

From hurtful, deceitful romantic interludes to major business retaliations that devastated my career,

I learned that I had to forgive in order to live more fully.

For me – not for them.

When we go into blame, we become victims, and lose our power to create. We forget we are the Source we are blaming.  We forget that

everything that happens, happens to serve us.

Most of what we need to forgive is in the past and keeps us focused in the past.  As an adult, it is our ability to respond to a new choice that allows us to see a bigger picture.  We are able to see others’ limitations and circumstances.  We are able to even see the gifts we may have gotten from perceived hardships.  We are able to let go because we know that we too, have made mistakes.  However, we must choose to want to see these new perspectives.

Forgiveness is not a requirement for staying out of hell.

Hell is being stuck in that energy and not being able to move on.

However, forgiveness can’t be forced –and if we attach the vibration of guilt and beat ourselves up for not feeling forgiving, we bring our vibrations even lower.  It often takes some practice to be able to make that shift in our perception.
As an adult, I can see that my father did the best he could.  He was simply too damaged and incapable of healing.  I am able now to separate his drinking from his love for me and choose to remember the love.  It serves me better.  I learned from the drinking and lack of responsibility what I do not want in my own life.  They are guideposts I now use to consciously create what I want.

Advice from Martha Graham

By Cheryl, March 23, 2010 2:43 pm

There is a vitality,

a life force,

an energy;

a quickening that is translated through you into action.

And because there is only one of you in all of time,

this expression is unique.

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable

nor how it compares with other expressions.

it is your business to ….keep the channel open… whether you choose to take an art class, keep a journal, record your dreams, dance your story, or live each day from your own creative source, above all else, keep the channel open!

-Martha Graham

Life leads those who will and those who won’t…it drags

By Cheryl, March 17, 2010 5:46 pm
August Gold is a dynamic, inspirational speaker and founder of the Sacred Center in New York City.
In her conversation with Katherine Woodward Thomas as part of the Women on the Edge of Evolution teleseries, August talks about how life is in a constant conversation with us and is always moving us into the next step of our evolution.  Our job is to participate in that conversation by listening to what shows up.  Even when it’s unpleasant, welcome everything and ask–what is perfect here? Trading your human eyes for eyes of your heart and the deeper wisdom of your soul. When we engage in each moment, each thing that comes to your door will lead you towards unleashing your divine potential
Gold shares that we are being moved–life is a movement–whether we want it or not–it’s here!  The most skillful way we can respond is to ask; what is the opportunity here?  Life’s desire is for us to become the person we were born to be–that only WE can be. Of course this means moving outside our comfort zone.  Which often activates fear but instead of getting scared and going into 911- emergency-
what if instead we perceive it as information -411- and get curious about what we can discover.
To download Gold’s presentation on “The Hero’s Journey” go to
www.augustgold.net
Where she explores
What happens when we’ve outgrown our pot?  How do we negotiate moving from our small pot to a bigger pot with grace and dignity?
The universe conspires to help us but we have to be willing to participate with life.
The journey lies further-inward.  Our inner life is the blueprint for the outside life
When the old life breaks down, don’t punish yourself, just recognize life saying – you don’t belong here your pot is too small!  you need a bigger pot!
August Gold offers a monthly BREAK-THRU lecture at the New York Society for Ethical Culture
6-7PM Wednesdays- on the first Wednesday of every month
@ Central Park West & 64th St.
