Heart Focus Breathing

Another tip from the Heart Math De-Stress kit!

Heart-focused Breathing to reduce stress and anxiety.
Practice breathing while imagining your breath passing in and out through your heart area or the center of your chest. Envision yourself as taking a time out to refuel your system by breathing in an attitude of calm and balance (like breathing in an emotional tonic to take the rough edges off).

The key to making this exercise effective is to generate the true feeling of calm and balance. You can substitute calm and balance at times with breathing the feeling of appreciation or compassion (or whatever attitude you choose to breathe). This can be done in a quiet place or while walking, jogging, and even in a conversation once you get familiar with it. It’s very helpful for reducing anxiety, anger and mild depression.
Here is the short version of the above technique for quick reference:

1. Imagine the breath passing in and out through the heart or the center of the chest.

2. Breathe an attitude of calm or balance (or whatever positive feeling you choose) to help restore balance.
Heart-focused breathing is being taught by doctors, nurses and clinics throughout the world. It’s especially helpful during times of crisis or whenever you experience anger, anxiety or emotional overload. Heart-focused breathing exercises can help you shift stress-producing attitudes more quickly and reset your stress tolerance baseline.

I recommend that when your energy is low or you are feeling anxious you stop whatever you are doing, close your eyes, take a 3 minute break and do this technique. This is a very quick and effective centering practice.
Breathe deeply and be in the moment!

The Matrix- Great messages

Quotes from The Living Matrix

“The reality is that science is a story told in installments, and every new chapter often times refines or completely changes what has come before.” Lynne McTaggert

“When you’re processing with your brain, you are broadcasting fields.” Bruce Lipton

“The brain is closer to a receiver and transmitter of information, not the central repository of that information.” Lynn McTaggert

“The existing control system of modern medicine is enzymes, and hormones. Not consciousness. Not emotions. Not body field. . . We find this a bit inadequate to explain the whole majesty of human behavior and sickness. . . it’s impossible.” Peter Fraser

“The placebo effect is the fact that a belief that a person has can override their biology. Science has recognized that at least one third of all healings – including drugs, surgeries and other allopathic interventions—one of all healings has nothing to do with the process, but has to do with the placebo effect.” Dr. Bruce Lipton

“Sending an intention “that I am better,” sending information with belief that “I am better,” is sending information to the body to correct itself. . . A thought is an actual physical energy too, and it sends information to the body as well. So a negative thought or a thought about being ill is sending a scrambling to the body in a sense.” Lynne McTaggart

“It’s been very well demonstrated that our belief system effects how we behave and how we perform. . . It also effects our lifestyle, so that if we don’t believe that we can help ourselves, we probably cannot. If we don’t believe that positive information is useful to our health and well being, it probably won’t be.” Edgar Mitchell, PhD

“…the role that our intention, our consciousness plays in healing has yet to be understood, and in fact has been largely rejected by mainstream, established medicine. You know it’s time for us to bring these qualities of healing into the mainstream conversation about what is necessary to create an optimal healing system.” Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, PhD

“If we change our interaction with our environment, we change our genetic potential ….so there is nothing fixed in our biology. It’s always changeable. Since we are not fixed… all of a sudden you realize how powerful you are as an individual in controlling your gene expression rather than buying into belief of victims of genetic determination.” Dr. Bruce Lipton

“One of the fundamental things that has to change in the future of medicine is this focus on the gene as being the solution to every illness.” Lynne McTaggert

“The heart actually sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. . . If we look within the nervous system at the parasympathetic branch, ninety percent of the nerves are carrying information from the heart to the brain. . . What the heart is sending to the brain profoundly affects brain function.” Rollin McCraty PhD

“. . . There is some other informational field perhaps which informs the entire body. . . These are unresolved questions in biology, but nevertheless it . . .suggests that there is something like information that is as essential and maybe more fundamental than even the material or energetic part of us.” Dean Radin PhD

“There is an information flow in our bodies . . . Our intuitive information is really of a quantum nature. . . what we call our intuition is our sixth sense when in reality it should be called our first sense.” Edgar Mitchell, PhD

“We have such a thing as the perfect hologram. There is the perfect you. There is the picture of you as a healthy person always there. . . We get stressed by a million different things; all of these stressors act as information upsetters and distorters. . . Our idea is that all you need to do is correct the . . . information in the right part of the energy hologram of the body. Once you stop the distortion, the physiology begins to work; the chemistry comes right; and there are really wonderful healing stories to be told here. Peter Fraser

“We’re on the threshold of an entirely new understanding of how disease happens, how information is transferred, and how to enhance information transfer within living systems.” Peter Fraser

Think out of the box and create yourself anew! Everything is possible!

This is a very clever way to work with some children with EFT.
It comes from Gary's newsletter. I hope that you find it helpful!

Using EFT Rhymes for children
Here's a useful idea from Don White in Australia that involves using simple rhymes to help children use EFT. This could make a BIG difference for some age groups. Also, while Don suggests a specific rhyme in his article, there is nothing stopping us from adopting a wide variety of rhymes for this purpose. Plenty of room for imagination here.

Hi Gary,

I am a taxi driver in Perth, Western Australia. I originally learned EFT from your Manual and I have bought all your brilliant videos.

My reason for writing does not follow the usual format, but it hit me like a ton of bricks, and, if my intuition is correct, it could, with some refinements, be very important for children.

With such a build-up I hope my idea has some merit. It came from the belief (correct or not) that the children's nursery rhyme and game - Ringa ringa roses, came from, and helped the children cope with, the trauma they experienced, during the Plague of London.

My theory is that if children are taught to tap with a simple rhyme, then they will teach others, as kids do, and their game will help spread the word among our younger citizens.

During the day - between fares, in the taxi I jotted down a few ideas:

Name of the game: Happy Tapping! The rhyme:

Happy Tapping is lots of fun
You can do it on your own - or with anyone!
Tap tap tap on the top of your head,
Tap tap tap do just what I said!
Tap on your eyebrow just near your nose.
Then the side of your eye where the hard bone grows.
Now on the bone - under your eye,
Don't poke your eye or you'll make yourself cry!
Now under your nose - but over your lips
Tap tap tap - with your finger tips!
Now under your bottom lip - but over your chin,
Just on the bit where your chin goes in.
Now under your collarbone - but over your chest,
Under the bump of the bone is best!
The last on the list is under you arm,
To make sure you get it right - slap with your palm!

If you still don't feel good - don't go to bed,
Start tapping again on the top of your head!

Kind regards Don.
