The Fascinating Relationship Between the Heart and Brain

The Fascinating Relationship Between the Heart and Brain

05/15/2023

May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.

May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with the rhythm of
the universe.

May you have respect for your individuality
and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.

There is nothing to fear in the act of beginning. More often than not it knows the journey ahead better than we ever could. Perhaps the art of harvesting the secret riches of our lives is best achieved when we place profound trust in the act of beginning. Risk might be our greatest ally. To live a truly creative life, we always need to cast a critical look at where we presently are, attempting always to discern where we have become stagnant and where new beginning might be ripening. There can be no growth if we do not remain open and vulnerable to what is new and different. I have never seen anyone take a risk for growth that was not rewarded a thousand times over.

my brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

over who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and their notes they
send to one another always
says the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

Some basic rituals. HIGHLY recommend daily "shaking" (remember what dogs do?) for about 5 minutes OR whenever you need to reset the nervous system. I do it before important meetings or challenging ones! 🎯

"SHAKING OR TREMBLING, which comes from the limbic brain (the part of the brain that holds emotions), sends a signal that the danger has passed and that the fight-or-flight system can turn off. They are literally finishing the nervous system response to release the traumatic experience from the body."
illustration from Anima Mundi Herbals

Thanks to Anima Mundi Herbals for this beautiful illustration! + thanks for the 🎯 Cathy Malchiodi!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

The silence of landscape conceals vast presence. Place is not simply location. A place is a profound individuality. Its surface texture of grass and stone is blessed by rain, wind, and light... The shape of a landscape is an ancient and silent form of consciousness. Mountains are huge contemplatives. Rivers and streams offer voice; they are the tears of the earth's joy and despair. The earth is full of soul.

A Water Crystal Photo from Amazon River, Colombia.

Even though the river water was muddy, it turned to be a surprisingly pure clean crystal. There are indigenous people who live in Amazon jungle and they have always lived in harmony with everything in forest. This crystal is reminiscent of creating such harmony between people and nature.

This photo is from 1981 when I first demonstrated the Tellington Method to Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and students in the Amhurst Feldenkrais® Professional Training.

I graduated from the 4-year Feldenkrais® training at the Humanistic Psychology Institute in San Francisco in 1978 and was one of the graduates invited to give Functional Integration® lessons to students in the Amhurst class.

I was 35 when I began that training with Moshe Feldenkrais. I had been training young horses since I was 12 years old. On the 2nd day of my training in 1975 I realized the potential for working with horses in a completely new way - That was the inspiration for the Tellington Method as it's known today.

Feldenkrais is a fabulous modality that is so complementary to the Tellington TTouch! Join me at the upcoming Feldenkrais Summit where I am a presenter! Get your free ticket here: https://feldenkraissummit.com/spage/mbfb-summit-2022/?affiliate=tellingtonttouch

As we engage in life more consciously, looking out for everyone’s best interests, exploring synchronicities, and listening intuitively for the best way to help to move the world forward, you find a pattern that starts emerging in the truth you’re telling to those around you. As we make progress with our spiritual growth, we can begin to realize that we were meant to deliver a certain kind of assistance to the world—we each have a calling to use our talents in a unique way...🙏✨
