Head-heart interactions

The results of research studies demonstrate that intentionally altering one’s emotional state through heart focus modifies afferent neurological input from the heart to the brain. The data suggest that as people experience sincere positive feeling states, in which the heart’s rhythms become more coherent, the changed information flow from the heart to the brain may act to modify cortical function and influence performance. These findings help explain the significant shifts in perception, increased mental clarity and heightened intuitive awareness many individuals have reported when practicing the HeartMath techniques.

Six Myths about stress

Six Myths about stress Dispelling them enables us to understand our problems and then take action against them. Let's look at these myths.

Myth 1: Stress is the same for everybody.

Completely wrong. Stress is different for each of us. What is stressful for one person may or may not be stressful for another; each of us responds to stress in an entirely different way.

Myth 2: Stress is always bad for you.

According to this view, zero stress makes us happy and healthy. Wrong. Stress is to the human condition what tension is to the violin string: too little and the music is dull and raspy; too much and the music is shrill or the string snaps. Stress can be the kiss of death or the spice of life. The issue, really, is how to manage it. Managed stress makes us productive and happy; mismanaged stress hurts and even kills us.

He goes on to say, "I am not caused by my history--my parents, my childhood and development. These are mirrors in which I may catch glimpses of my image"
(Hillman 1992, p. 63)

Fleur's amazing insight and knowledge spans a broad range of disciplines from alternative healing methods to the social sciences. Her healing powers of positivity in helping me to balance body, mind and spirit haved made a significant difference in the way I live my life and relate to others.
Terri Gibson
I most vividly remember one particular session with Fleur that lasted two hours. It was right after a break-up, and I was really distraught and "out of my body". Fleur showed me different techniques of how to find out where I wanted to go from there with my life and how to get back to myself, through physical and mental exercises.
