BY MICHELLE RICHMOND W
e live fast and passionate lives with long to-do lists, never-ending schedules. It’s easy for life to rush past us
as we frantically try to tick all the boxes – loving relationship, wealth, beauty, a family home, a flashy car, well balanced children… the list is endless. Stress is a challenge for most of us,
diminishing both our immune and digestive systems. However, new studies show emotional intelligence (EQ) reduces stress. According to the book ‘Emotional Intelligence’, it is “as powerful [as] and at times more powerful than our intelligence”, and provides “an advantage in any domain of life”. Research suggests emotional intelligence is responsible for as much as 80% of the ‘success’ in our health and our lives.
In times of continuous change and the challenge to know just what to do next, making the ‘right’ decision can be overwhelming and see us flailing in a field of anxiety and worry. On a day-to- day, basis we either make fast and snappy decisions from a stressed state of mind, or we take time on bigger decisions that are deliberated, pondered over, slept on, discussed, hashed and rehashed – allowing the mind the opportunity to draw on experiences from the past or future projections. Yet both ancient wisdoms and modern
science suggest our general (mental) happiness and personal success, as well as spiritual growth, requires the mind and heart to function together. As enlightened master Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi says, ‘love with the mind and think with our heart’.
Living a heart-centred life is an opportunity to bring your focus and attention to reconnecting with your body and your life, an opportunity to heal and have a deeper relationship with yourself on a very intimate level, a relationship that is built on reconnecting your spirit, heart, mind and body to create peace and harmony within; which is incredibly powerful in enhancing both your health and happiness.
COHERENT EMOTIONS = POSITIVE EMOTIONS Science is now showing that the heart is the strongest generator of electrical and magnetic energies. We have always thought that it is the brain, yet the heart is over 100 times stronger electrically
and up to 5000 times stronger magnetically. This is important because the physical world as we know it is made up of and changed by the forces of these two fields of energy – electromagnetic fields. It means that within some of us, who are often labelled ‘romantics’, ‘highly sensitive’ or ‘bleeding hearts’, serious information processing is taking place. Emotions are our indicator of what vibrational state we are in, i.e., what electromagnetic field we are producing. When we live in states of gratitude, appreciation, acceptance, compassion we create congruence between our soul, mind and body, uplifting our spirits, boosting our immune system, bringing us to a state of higher awareness and centredness, which
