by Lisa Litzsinger  When things on the outside seem chaotic or stressful, as they do right now, we can still access peace on the inside. The quickest way I know is through the practice of Heart Math, a simple process with powerful results. Here are the steps: Quick Coherence Technique Using the power of your heart to balance thoughts and emotions, you can achieve energy, mental clarity and feel better fast anywhere. Use Quick Coherence especially when you begin feeling a draining emotion such as frustration, irritation, anxiety or anger. Find a feeling of ease and inner harmony that’s reflected in more balanced heart rhythms, facilitating brain function and more access to higher intelligence. Step 1. Focus your attention in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a little slower and deeper than usual. Suggestion: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm is comfortable). Step 2. Make a sincere attempt to experience a regenerative feeling such as appreciation or care for someone or something in your life. Suggestion: Try to re-experience the feeling you have for someone you love, a pet, a special place, an accomplishment, etc., or focus on a feeling of calm or ease. It is that simple! This practice brings into balance the heart and the brain, and with some practice can bring an inner sense of calm in minutes.
Check out the Heart Math website to learn several other techniques and to read the science behind them. They offer technology to help you practice and track heart coherence through measuring your HRV (Heart Rate Variability). If you would like to know more, or if you are interested in trying the technology, please contact me. Lisa Litzsinger [email protected]

Have you ever wondered about those strange experiences we have during the night we call dreams? What do they mean? Why do we have them? In almost every ancient text, dreams are experienced as messages from the Divine. Dreams are the most direct way for us to access our own inner wisdom. Unfortunately, the language of dreams is sometimes difficult to understand. In most cases dreams are not literal. They are symbolic in nature. They may seem to make no sense, but within your dreams are clues that can offer insight related to current challenges or life situations, or even plans and directions for the future. The best way to get started deciphering this valuable information is to write down your dreams and keep a journal. You will likely notice themes and symbols of messages meant for you to receive. The challenge is to remember your dreams. Many say that they do not have dreams, but likely they are just forgetting them. Here is a list of ideas to help you get started. Tips for Remembering Dreams
