This morning as I was perusing things for work, a thought came to mind. “The single greatest gift you can give your patients isn’t something you can learn in a book or another continuing education class, but is something you already have the capacity for, presence.” As I thought about the truth in this sentence, I saw how it extended to more people than our patients. It’s true for our friends, our family, our spouses, our neighbors, our students, our children. Oddly enough, it’s also true for ourselves. Presence in your life is the ultimate gift. A gift to yourself and a gift to everyone around you. I’ve seen it transform my parenting, my relationship with my husband, and my ability to care for my patients. It eased my stress, helped me make decisions, helped me with my self care, my house chores, my work, and my relationship with my body. It’s truly changed every part of my life. The heart experiment is first and foremost an opportunity to realize how easy and natural being present is. In fact, you were designed with this innate capacity. It just so happens you were also born with a very creative, imaginative, and powerful mind. Over time most of us begin to identify and follow the thoughts from our personal mind while letting our innate presence fall away. It happens so slowly that we barely notice it was ever there at all. What happens when you reconnect with this presence? More joy in your life. Less stress. Deeper connection to the people around you. Hard decisions start to look obvious. You may notice that your sleep is more restful. The anxious busy mind settles. You may even notice moments of silence that you previously thought impossible. If any of this sounds interesting to you. I’d love you to consider joining the heart experiment. It begins in 1 month. Discounted prices through June 22nd. If you want to dive in and really see what’s possible – you can join 1:1. If you want to take a slower route of being introduced to the concept and supported via group, but with a lower cost, join the group portion only. You can also schedule a conversation to learn more about it all. With love, KC |
