We all know the devastating effects stress can have on our lives physically, mentally and spiritually. We have heard of the stress response ad nauseam but have you heard of the Relaxation Response?
By learning how to Mind the Gap between our head and our heart, we learn how to self-regulate our emotions and we become more coherent and resilient in our daily lives. Thus, our mood improves, our ability to respond improves, our health improves even our relationships improve.
When we are being pulled in a thousand different directions our emotions can get the best of us. When life becomes too much to handle, we just need five seconds. Five seconds is all it takes. Five seconds is just long enough to give us the space we need, so that, we can respond without regret. As long as we don’t make things worse… That’s progress. Learning biofeedback can help give us that five second edge.
“The Heart is more powerful than the Brain. The Heart is about 100,000 times stronger electrically and up to 5,000 times strong magnetically than the brain.” ~HeartMath
