You are made of heart, mind, and SOULSELF. The embodied understanding of this can change your life. In truth, you are the self, you are the soul, but in this human vehicle you operate, you also have a mind and a heart. Another name for the heart in how I refer to it here, is the emotional body. At your best, you 3 are an awesome team, creating a better life for yourself, a better, happier you, and a better more happy, and thriving humanity. At worst, your mind can abuse your emotional body all day with judgments, fear, repression, and control. Or your emotional body can be wrecking you and your life, with addiction, reactivity, out-of-control anger emotional reactions, and more. Last email I shared with you, I wrote about how the mind can abuse the emotional body to cause us suffering, and how an integrated, healthy vs unhealthy minds look like, as well as their symptoms and patterns. I shared where the mind thrives, and where it can cause us tremendous suffering. In this email, I want to you about the emotional body, which I will refer to as the heart. The heart is a wonderful part of our being, so beautiful, and it's the feminine energy side of ourselves. When integrated, a healthy heart will mean you experience:
On the other hand, when wounded and unintegrated, a wounded heart means you will experience:
Whether you find yourself more as the "mind-dominant" kind of person that I described in email #1, or the emotions-dominated kind of person I describe here, I want you to know that I've learned over the years that there is a much better way to do this. We can use both our minds and our hearts in their best, fully capable, and fully integrative capabilities, all the while leading from our own Center, from our own SOULSELF, guiding them, and ourselves, to self-realization, and to living a beautiful, fun, rich, rewarding, happy life. This is called the middle way, and this is the path the Buddha discovered 2500 ago as the happy, peaceful, optimal way to live. Do you want to learn more on how you can best guide your mind, heart and SELF, to work together as an amazing team, and live a thriving, happy life? If so, you're welcome to come to the workshop I'm hosting next Sunday at 12:30 pm EST, in my mentor Gary's Self Mastery community, where we will dive much deeper into this. Through an awareness practice, we will look inward to recognize if we are more of an emotionally or mentally dominant person, we will see where we have been unbalanced in our life as being too "emotionally" or too "mind" dominant. We will explore where our mind is abusing our heart, and where our heart might be abusing our mind, and see how to restore more balance, order, and harmony to the inner painful chaos. We will then discuss how to put mind and heart aside and let YOU, the SELF lead the way. There will also be plenty of time for Q&A at the end, and the workshop will be approx 75-90 minutes meant to give you lots of insights, tools and practical value.

איך השתחררתי מביקורת עצמית קשה, ולמדתי לאהוב את עצמי כמו שאני
יש תקופות בחיי שאני מרגיש בושה במי שאני. בתקופות שזה היה ממש חזק, הייתי מתרחק מאנשים, כי פחדתי שיראו כמה שאני פגום. הרגשתי שאני חי חיים כפולים, כי בחוץ הצגתי שאני בסדר, וככה כולם חשבו, אבל מבפנים הרגשתי ממש רע עם עצמי ולא טוב. זה השפיע עליי
