When I shift my own thinking and feeling states, I shift my body states as well, because emotions travel through me as body chemicals. In a way, I am what I think about all day. I can shift what I am feeling by consciously changing my thoughts and I can shift what I’m thinking, by consciously evening out my emotional states. I will  place my attention on my heart and imagine myself in a calm and serene state. As my heart calms, so does my body. When I can consciously breathe in and out of my heart zone, and imagine that part of me entering a state of ease and serenity, I actually contribute to my emotional, psychological and physical health.

I calm my heart

When you hear the word intelligence the first thing you probably think of isn’t the heart. But research has shown that the heart is in fact smart. The brain in the head is dutifully obeying messages that are being sent from another brain, “the brain in the heart.” The heart isn’t just a throbbing mass of muscle, it’s actually quite a sensitive instrument that is processing critical information, constantly communicating with the brain in different ways.
