Even as the overwhelm of the world presses in and the pace of life feels chaotic, a quiet rhythm still exists within you…

… a natural way to soothe your nervous system, attune to the wisdom of your heart, and rekindle the creative fire that brings meaning, joy, and inspiration back into your life.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a tool at your fingertips — something that gives you a brief time out and allows you to take a big sigh of relief whenever you feel stress accumulating?

Join founder and CEO of VybratoTM, Bruce Cryer — also senior advisor and former CEO of HeartMath Institute — for an intriguing free video event on Saturday, June 21…

The Wave of Relief With Heart Coherence: Ride the Tides of an Anxious World With Resilience, Enhanced Health & Creative Power

… where you’ll explore how to cultivate true harmony in your inner landscape and reconnect with your natural creative flow…

… so that no matter what challenges arise, you can meet them with inner peace, clarity, and renewed purpose.

Bruce has spent decades teaching people powerful practices that weave together the science of heart coherence, breath, movement, and music to help you find calm in any storm and reignite the creative life force that drives everything in your life.

Through breathwork, gentle movement, and focused awareness, Bruce can help you dissolve the patterns that keep you in survival mode. You’ll learn how to reprogram your nervous system — not through force, but by restoring connection to your own deeper rhythm.

In this inspiring and experiential hour, you’ll:
~Learn how to unleash the incredible power of your heart’s intelligence to cultivate calm, emotional stability, physiological coherence, cognitive clarity, improved immunity — and hope
~Gain confidence in your ability to master life’s sea of waves, through targeted techniques that bring balance, strength, fortitude, and resilience
~Understand that creativity is encoded in your DNA — and unleashing it can improve almost every aspect of your life
~Experience the power of your breath as your close friend and ally, helping you release trapped emotions, rejuvenate your body, and activate self-healing
~Explore ways that coherence can be applied to almost every aspect of your life — from your relationships, to your work, communication, spirituality, and health

As your breath, body, and heart begin to synchronize — and you come into resonance with the natural world — the inner static will start to fade. You’ll begin to feel the calm, clear signal of coherence — and the creative intelligence waiting to guide you forward.

Hope to see you there!

Even if you can’t join the event on Saturday, be sure to register here so you can receive a full-length video of the event!

"When the emotional body is triggered, the amygdala—or emotional processing center of the brain—gets activated and the areas responsible for rational thought, linear problem solving, or logical conversations are suppressed. Persistent emotional triggering creates a new norm of fear, defensiveness and can even make us more susceptible to disinformation and misinformation."
-from my upcoming book, Refuge for the Weary Empath: Finding Peace and Purpose in Turbulent Times

14/06/2025

Most of us are kind, compassionate, caring humans who would do almost anything to help others. But sometimes we do too much for others, forgetting about ourselves in the process. And sometimes the UNDERLYING ENERGY is more ego-based than truly altruistic, resulting in an unexpected outcome.

Years back I saw a homeless man going through the garbage in NYC. I offered him some cash and he said, “I don’t need that” as he continued rummaging through the refuse.

My judgmental mind wanted to say, “Clearly you do.”

Was I really being compassionate, or was I coming from a place of pity — an over-responsibility to help those who my mind deems as in need? Turns out it was the latter, and maybe, just maybe, he picked up on that? Hard to say for sure.

But I learned that our deeper intention has a lot of weight.

The deeper intention in so many that I’ve worked with is over-responsibility. And this has detrimental results, a lot more than having someone turn down some cash.

Over-responsibility has been among the core deeper causes of pain and illness for people I work with. Energetically, it is very insular, constricting, and ends up blocking flow and intuition, resulting in tight muscles, feeling stuck, and sometimes feeling hopeless and helpless. It increases our “sponginess” in absorbing fear, anger, and grief from others. Spiritually, it can stunt growth, and in relationships, over-responsibility can create codependence.

Before doing anything for another, slow down and take a few relaxing breaths. Focus inward and ask what the underlying energy is that might be guiding the action. With practice, you’ll get better at determining the body’s signals. Perhaps you feel more elated when waiting for an answer. Perhaps you feel more constricted. Maybe you’ll hear or intuit a word or phrase, and maybe you’ll see or sense an image. Our bodies don’t always speak to us in our preferred language, so practice feeling into the subtleties and then heed the message.

It is totally okay to say no to another’s request.

I get it, it doesn’t feel good. And in some circumstance, we truly are responsible for another. For example if you’re a nurse or a parent. But try to remember that even though we are all one metaphysically, we are not all one physically, nor should we wish to be.

Enmeshment of energies — often created by over-responsibility — creates way more problems than it solves, and with conscious awareness and applying some basic tools, we have the ability to discern what is truly in our best interest.

Why True Forgiveness Takes More Than Just Letting Go

Let me share a breakthrough moment that changed my understanding of forgiveness. I was working with a client – let’s call her Lisa – who had spent years doing spiritual work to forgive her father. She’d read the books, attended workshops, and written letters (sent and unsent). By all accounts, she’d done everything “right” when it came to forgiveness.

Yet, there she was in my office, tears streaming down her face, feeling like a spiritual failure because certain memories still hurt. “I must be doing something wrong,” she said. “I’ve forgiven him. Why does it still hurt?”

That session revealed something profound about how many of us approach forgiveness. We’re often taught that forgiveness is primarily a mental exercise – a kind of spiritual arithmetic where understanding equals resolution. Intellectual insight is valuable; it helps us see that those who hurt us were often acting from their own wounds, and that most harm comes from unconscious patterns, not malice. But in my experience with thousands of clients, the body often tells a different story than the mind.

Every emotion you were told was “too much” or “wrong” was actually a natural response to being human. Your tears weren’t a problem to solve—they were love trying to heal you. Your anger wasn’t bad behavior—it was your spirit protecting your boundaries. Your fear didn’t make you weak—it kept you safe.

Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons

You know when the Universe sends you a message repeatedly and from multiple sources?

Of course you do.

Dave Markowitz had been told he is an Empath by many people over many years, but it wasn’t until he had a clear, direct experience that he began to understand what that meant and how that could benefit his clients.

He was invited to a friend of a friend’s birthday party that consisted of going to seven bars in seven hours on a party bus. And, at the end of the night Dave was drunk. Not uncommon, right? Well, except that he hadn’t drank anything but water the entire evening!
