The solution you need is already within your feelings

I would like to start this article, about the importance of feelings and emotions for the solution you currently need, with a paragraph from a research paper I’ve discovered recently.

Dr. Armour, in 1991, discovered that the heart has its “little brain” or “intrinsic cardiac nervous system.” This “heart brain” is composed of approximately 40,000 neurons that are alike neurons in the brain, meaning that the heart has its own nervous system. In addition, the heart communicates with the brain in many methods: neurologically, biochemically, biophysically, and energetically.

The research paper is called Pain: Is It All in the Brain or the Heart?

This discovery is amazing!

I had recently a few coaching sessions and my coachee was saying that some of their actions were leading to specific results. And then, in other situations, the same actions led to zero results.

I resonated with that idea because it happened to me too.

It happened to me to do something with a few results in mind and had exactly zero results. At the same time, when I was doing the same thing for a client, my actions were generating results.

It’s a kind of unbalance when it comes to doing the same thing in different environments. You can do the same thing and have completely different results.

The garden of emotional understanding

When you’re looking for solutions, the thing you need a solution for is different depending on the angle you’re looking at it from.

Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, that you want to take a seed from an orange and plant it in the garden. If you’ve been raised by a family who values gardening, then you’ll know how to plant the seed and water it so it can grow. On the other hand, if the family who’s been raising you didn’t care about gardening or healthy food, you will look at the seed and won’t even know it’s something you can plant.

The seed is the same. The garden is the same. What’s different? You in relationship to the seed and the garden.

This means everything goes back to you.

When you’re trying to plant something, everything around you is the same. The seed, the soil, the water, the watering tool… they’re all the same.

But you are the variable that’s different.

You are the one who’s making the seed grow or the one who’s throwing the seed away.

Heart’s intelligence for the solution you need

Going back to the paragraph I shared with you earlier, it says there are 40,000 neurons in the heart, just like the neurons we have in the brain. These neurons of the heart help us think, but in a less conscious way.

The neurons in the brain help you think and have thoughts connected to your experience. But when you go through something that eventually turns into a trauma, you can’t solve it with your brain.

Of course, your brain will help you understand that you are dealing with an emotional trauma and become aware of it and how it holds you back. But the problem itself, which is connected to the neurons of your heart, will stay unsolved.

So, how do you solve it?

Looking for inner harmony

The way I solved such problems was through meditation. Anything else I tried until now, it didn’t entirely work.

Everything else brought me closer to understanding what happened, but that understanding wasn’t enough to solve the emotional problem I was having. It was like I was trying to solve an emotional problem using reasoning – it never works.

The way I solved many of the emotional problems I had was with the guided meditation from Joe Dispenza, called Blessings of the Energy Centers, and some praying, which is also considered part of the meditation process.

I started at the end of November 2023 and meditated until the middle of March 2024.

The thing I changed was my impulsivity. Nowadays, it happens very rare to be impulsive and I don’t feel being impulsive anymore.

And then, at the end of 2024, I did some praying. I don’t have something specific to share with you here but I’ll say this: whatever method you’re trying, make sure the focus is on how you feel and how that feeling is felt in the body. Healing starts in the body, not the mind.

Before trying the guided meditation from Joe Dispenza, I also did these things:

• Meditate without knowing anything about meditation – I was simply thinking about what was happening to me and trying to understand the underlying meaning of my experiences;
• Guided meditation with the help of some apps, with or without voice;
• Trauma Release Exercises;
• Ho’oponopono.

These are some of the things I tried before discovering Joe Dispenza, and they all helped me but in an … incomplete way.

If you feel like you haven’t found the solution you need for whatever emotional situation you’re dealing with, I recommend the guided sessions from Joe Dispenza, called The Blessings of the Energy Centers.

With love and optimism,
