Does your heart have intelligence? Can learning to switch your focus from the external stressor to your heart intelligence actually work? In a heart beat!
Recent research has shown that there are neurons in the heart, and that with the proper training the heart can learn to make its beat very coherent when breathing patterns and mental imagery change. When my heart beat becomes coherent soon every cell in the body is functioning at that rhythm! You can use this tool to manage your body chemistry in the moment (road rage, for example) or as a life style tool, practicing heart coherence every five minutes for two heart beats. When the heart beat is coherent, you are pulsing the hormone DHEA rather than adrenaline or cortisol.
Steps
Shift your focus to the area around your heart. You could even think of the volume of space around your heart.
Hold your focus there for a count of 10 breaths at least, imagining the breath coming in through your chest.
While breathing, remember a positive fun time.
Ask your heart intelligence for a less stressful way to handle this situation, and wait for its answer.
Repeat at every stop light.
Tips
Heart intelligence is affiliative and cooperative. You can contrast heart intelligence and head intelligence before acting.
