In this session we all have access to a new and truly remarkable meditation by Dr Joe who is an incredible spiritual figure that is transforming people's lives through heart coherence (when the breath and heart are aligned the body experiences coherence and in this state true healing is possible). Through continued practice of this meditation you can begin to heal parts of your body that need it. We will meditate together but separately then come together for the last half of the session for a sharing circle. From Dr Joe's site: "The Door Between the Conscious and Subconscious Minds While there’s no right or wrong way to do this meditation, I designed it to be practiced lying down the entire time. It’s short (only 30 minutes), so it’s a good opportunity to learn how to cultivate that state of relaxed awareness in a reclined posture – and not fall asleep. The reason to practice remaining relaxed and awake is, it’s the perfect state to open the door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind – the space that allows your autonomic nervous system to receive new information. In other words, lying down with your eyes closed while remaining conscious and aware lets you linger in a suggestible state; one in which you can reprogram your mind and body – according to your directed attention and intention – back to health and homeostasis. So, make yourself comfortable lying down, but not so comfortable that you want to fall asleep. You don’t want to miss that door in a theta brainwave state between the conscious and subconscious minds – where you can install new information. Love Your Body ... With Your Heart “Love Your Body” is a heart-centered meditation, and in the accompanying (roughly 15-minute) introduction, I go into detail about how to understand and work with the energy of the heart. Now, I want to walk you through the meditation itself, step by step. Once you’re lying down and comfortable – but not so comfortable you’ll fall asleep – you’ll start with putting your attention on your heart. And where you place your attention is where you place your energy. Our research shows this to be true: when you place your attention on your heart, you literally are giving it a very low frequency of energy. Next, I'll ask you to take some slow, deep breaths to work with your body and relax it. As you slow your breathing down, you’ll slow your brain waves down, gradually converting from the sympathetic nervous system (the “emergency,” or fight-or-flight system) – to the parasympathetic nervous system (the system of relaxation; growth and repair; rest and digest). You’ll then practice, with your heart, feeling elevated emotions – like gratitude, appreciation, love, kindness, care, inspiration, generosity, or compassion – to awaken its energy. You’ll bring those emotions to your heart – and fall in love with it. Once the heart center is activated, your body is in the right state to receive new information. Now, with loving attention and intention, you’ll connect your heart to a part of your body that needs to become more whole. Think of your heart as the center of wholeness – where polarity and opposites merge. So, if you want to make another part of your body ­– one that is in pain, sick, malfunctioning, diseased, or unhealthy – whole, you’d want to connect your heart to it. With that in mind, you’ll put your focus on that part of your body and feel your connection to it with your heart – bringing the same energy to it as the elevated energy in your heart. Once you can feel that same energy, you can raise the frequency in that part of your body by synchronizing and matching it to the energy of your heart. You’ll feel grateful for your body, feel kindness and care for your body, feel appreciation for your body, and fall in love with your body – with your heart. Finally, with your heart connected and radiating love to your body, you’ll be prompted to send your body the signal it needs to repair and restore itself back to order. The autonomic nervous system can get to work – and you’re ready to receive. Let Your Love Heal You It’s important to keep in mind this meditation is most effective through repeated practice. Like any discipline, the more you do it, the better you get at it. And the more you do it, the more you entrain your body – right down to the subatomic level – to a more elevated, orderly, coherent frequency."
