An Introduction to the Heart's Intelligence of Life

For information on Therapeutic Breathwork and training opportunities go to: https://transformationsusa.com or inquire at: info@transformationsusa.com

Jim Morningstar, PhD, presents the Intelligence of Life as one of the seven levels of the Heart's intelligence as delineated in "Love Without End" by Glenda Green.


Jim shows how life itself presents us daily with the lessons and resources we need to to grow in all areas of our consciousness.


Jim also leads an exercise to help illuminate how we can get benefit from life events regardless of our mind's judgments and expectations of them.


Here is a list of many of Jim's videos on breathwork and integrative psychology.link to the playlists

 



Allow your

HEART

to


EXPAND

As you empower the heart it will open to you.

“The heart, being essentially magnetic, functions best through innocent awareness, which attracts and receives. Acts of judgment, which divide and repel will shut the door of the heart behind you. If you would make the heart strong, you must learn to perceive with innocence, accept, and forgive. As you empower the heart it will open to you."

Love Without End Glenda Green (2006)
