Science of the Heart
*Did you know . . .
The entire body is wired to respond to our thoughts and emotions.
Appreciation and anger produce opposite effects in the body.
Appreciation makes the heart beat with internal coherence, that is, beats more smoothly and regularly, in turn entraining other organs into a similar coherent, healthy state.
Meditation increases the hormone DHEA which helps to reduce stress and improve memory.
A 20 percent increase in DHEA has shown a 48 percent decrease in heart disease.
Heart centered meditation focused upward reduces overall stress, while heart centered meditation focused downward helps us more effectively deal with the stress we do have.
Care and compassion
for five minutes causes the immune system to be elevated for five hours, while thinking 'anger and frustration' for five minutes depresses it for five hours.
Laughter increases oxygen levels in the blood which produces endorphins, the feel-good hormones which strengthen the immune system.

Tell Me Why . . .
By Kathy Eckles
Why do you love me?
Just Because
Why have we been blessed with more time with Mom, and yet Aunt Rosaleen is now suddenly gone?
Just Because
Why in those scary nights together in the cardiac care unit did we sing 'Tell Me Why', like Nick did with his mother and dad, probably at about the very same time? Why did his mom pass on, and we're still together? Why did you inspire this same song to be part of our next concert?
Just Because
♥♥♥
Tell Me Why is an old traditional song we used sing in the car as kids. It asks one to "Tell Me Why . . . the stars shine, the ivy twines, and why the sky's so blue. And if you can, I'll tell you why I love you."
And of course, the beloved answers,
"Well . . . Because God made the stars to shine, the ivy twine, and the sky so blue. Because God made you, that's why I love you."
It all adds up to 'Just Because.'
And honestly, whether we're eight or eighty-six . . . |

The Enneagram
and Relationships
Sunday, April 27
Gloucester, MA 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM
|
  |
For people with a working knowledge of the Enneagram
See below for an internet link or several of many books that can provide this foundation.
This experiential workshop is designed to help us grow through their own personal challenges in relationships, while deepening our understanding of the points of view, centers and subtypes in relational dynamics. By bringing forward ways that we feel challenged, and being present with our experience with love, we can balance our own resistances and access our inner wisdom. As we understand and appreciate others, and focus on our own reactivity, we increase our inner observer, the part of us that can both witness our automatic defensive behavior, and also choose to change.
This workshop will provide personal and relational healing, with teaching of the Enneagram and its subtleties following on what is brought up by participants.
*Special thanks to Dr. Andrew Hahn for his permission to model this workshop based upon his brilliant work
with the Enneagram.
