Author: [[Gregg Braden]] Full Title: The Wisdom Codes Category: #books For example, while we commonly think of anger, jealousy, and criticism as separate issues to be dealt with one by one, each ultimately points to the same core issue: unresolved fear. By healing (resolving) our underlying fear, we dismantle the need for safety and the reasons why varied expressions of the same fear may be showing up in our lives. The first five parts of this book are each dedicated to one of the core issues that challenge us most in life: protection, fear, loss, strength, and love. The Quick Coherence Technique Begin by shifting to a heart focus and breathe. Shift your focus from your mind to the area of your heart, and begin to breathe a little slower than usual, as if your breath is coming from your heart. As you slow your breathing, you are sending a signal to your body in general, and your heart specifically, that you are in a place that is safe and it’s okay to turn your attention inward. This step can be a powerful, stand-alone technique unto itself when you’re feeling overwhelmed by the day’s events or simply desire to be more connected with yourself. It also lays the foundation for Step B as follows. Then, activate a positive feeling. From your heart center, make a sincere attempt to experience a regenerative feeling, such as gratitude, appreciation, or care for someone or something in your life. The key in this step is to first create the feeling to the best of your ability, and then to surrender to the feeling, fully embracing it while allowing it to radiate from your heart to fill your body and permeate your entire being. The following simple steps create the conditions in your body to optimize the harmony, and the coherence, between your heart and your brain. (Adapted by permission from the HeartMath Institute) “What you have seen is what we do to create the feeling in our bodies. The feeling is the prayer, and the words create the feeling!” I don’t know if what I’m afraid of is the state of the world. Rather, I think what I’m afraid of is the state of my attitude about the state of the world.
