The human heart: It is infinitely more intelligent than we give it credit for.
In the three-minute video excerpt (below) from a documentary called “The Powerful Wisdom of the Heart,” Dr. Deepak Chopra offers some fascinating scientific facts about the human heart.
You may need to watch it a few times to fully grasp its message: how an organ that pumps blood through our system can change its very structure to match our emotional experiences. This data point in particular got my attention:
“There are studies that [show that] the number one risk factor for premature death from cardiovascular disease is hostility, resentments…and what is called cynical mistrust.”
How it relates to me and my practice in space clearing could be probably summarized with this:
“Stress patterns that keep our homes, workplaces, and lives in a constant state of imbalance have a way of vaporizing in the presence of pure, elegant compassion.”–From “Space Clearing: Compassion is Key by Stephanie Bennett Vogt
So, choosing joy is not just some hippie-dippy New Age invention promoted by self-help industry. It is super good for your health, too.
The video excerpt is bit heady, but it’s short, and gets easier to follow at around 2:30 on the counter.
