Bringing in Auspiciousness & Prosperity…

Welcome back to Level Four, Access, of Project:Yourself. The corresponding level of the Sri Yantra is called “Giver of All Auspiciousness.” This is because, at this level you are literally being blessed to proceed.

In the last level you were agitating your current reality and so in this level it’s about the person or energy on the other side of your agitation, the one who opens the door to your new reality. It’s almost as if they, or the entity you are envisioning, is saying “you are pushing me so you are granted access.”

This fourth level is also comprised of the fourteen cornered figure created by the intersecting triangles. They stand for the fourteen realms, and also represent the fourteen main vital channels in your body.

As you clear and activate these channels within your body you will be creating the space needed to bring in auspiciousness and prosperity—one more step in the path to creating your new reality.

You are pushing me,

so you are granted access.

NOTES

Project:Forward

Begin in a comfortable seated position, with a straight spine, in place that feels like your sanctuary of peace, wherever that may be. Close your eyes as you take a deep breath in through your nostrils. Exhale deeply, letting go of any residual air in the body. Inhale again and let it go. Find your own pace of breath, bringing it in and out through the nostrils. (pause)

Now let your Avatar find his or her way in your mind’s eye, coming closer and closer to your body. Embrace him or her, with heart touching heart, as if you are old friends. Stay in this embrace for a cycle of three breaths. Let your hearts fully open to one another. (pause)

In this level, we will bring awareness to your fourth chakra, Anahata, known as the heart chakra. It symbolizes love, empathy and selflessness. It is the gateway to your soul and spirit self. (pause)

As you take in the next breath, visualize the Sri Yantra. You may see the levels of portals and petals. Exhale as you continue to let the Sri Yantra become your drishthi, your inner focal point.

In this level, we will focus on the fourth level, the 14 triangles, called the Giver of All Auspiciousness. It is here that we see the blessing to proceed to create what you truly want.

Take a deep breath in and out to let this blessing wash over your body. (pause)

You may find a block or an area that feels resistance. Your body is comprised of Nadis, or energy channels, which flow from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head. Essentially, it is translated as “Nerve”. Take a breath in and feel it in your toes. (pause) Now inhale again and feel it in the crown of your head. (pause)

Let the prana, your life force, flow through your body, letting the fine, thin threads of this channel, all thousands of them, into the delicate being of each chakra. (pause)

This flow of nerves is your spiritual nervous system. Bring the breath to the area of resistance, allowing it to become unlocked and feel the flow of energy deepen. (pause)

In this level, we will also tie in Napoleon Hill’s concepts of specialized knowledge and enthusiasm. (pause)

Come back to and face your Avatar as you bring his or her hands to your hands and press into them, palm to palm. Feel the strength, the power. In this level, we will empower our hearts. (pause)

Your heart’s intelligence controls more than the emotions of your body. It is the epicenter of health, controlling blood circulation and helping with immune

defense. Breath into this space, inhaling your lungs full of air as your heart expands fully and then relaxes just as deeply as you exhale. Reduction of stress on the heart has been proven to aid in longevity as well as increase stamina, both physically and mentally. (pause)

At the next deep inhale, breath in the power of this level that awaits you, and as an open mouth exhale, let it into the Universe. Gently open your eyes.

Project:Reflections

Reflect back upon your journey through Level 4’s Projecting Forward and write down everything that you felt and observed. What new energy or awareness do you feel? What thoughts and emotions arose in you? Capture all of this below….

Feel at Peace in Your Heart

This level’s element infusion will take you through a brief guided meditation created by Puja Shah, yoga teacher, writer and Project:Yourself guest expert (www.puja-shah.com) Once again, listen and follow along with the meditation. Here you will be slowing down and feeling your breath so that you can ultimately become more relaxed and at peace in your heart.

Find a room that you feel good in and create your space for this next meditation. Use incense or candles that invite a scent that allows you to feel at peace in your heart. It may even be a smell from childhood that brings you to innocence and happiness such as summer carnival cotton candy, roses from a spring garden, or your mother’s lavender soap.

Let the light into the room be natural and unfiltered.

If feasible, have green plants in the room to surround you.

Once you find a comfortable seat with a straight spine, lower your gaze and gently shut your eyes. (pause)

Begin to let the breath flow from your nostrils to throat, entering your chest and belly and then exhaling your navel to your spine in a rhythm that keeps your body and face fully relaxed. Remember to breath in and out slowly, as it becomes effortless. (pause)

At the next inhale, let the scents around you wrap into the color green and imagine it entering your nostrils. Allow green to fill your inner body, finding its way into your chest. Let the light of this color, which symbolizes life, flow through you with your breath. Exhale and imagine green loosely enveloping your whole body like the branches of deep rooted plant. (pause)

Imagine this plant in a peaceful forest, lush with vegetation and green leaves. (pause)

Inhale as you feel this nourishment, of oxygen and growth in your heart. (pause) Exhale as you feel your heart connecting to this symbiotic balance of nature. (pause)

Notice where you begin to feel more peace in your body, notice your heart chakra’s energy funneling this harmonious love throughout. (pause)

Let the emotions of this place flow as well. Gratitude. (pause) Compassion. (pause) Forgiveness. (pause) Release of Anger. (pause) Love. (pause)

At the last breath, find the scents that have filled your space and keep your eyes closed to rest in your heart’s awareness for however long you need before opening your eyes.

The Power of Level Four: Giver of All Auspiciousness

At this level you will be focusing on the 14 Triangles within the Sri Yantra. As briefly mentioned previously, this level is called “Giver of All Auspiciousness” or the “Provider of All Prosperity.” In this level you are being blessed to proceed and create what you want and what you have been pushing for.

This level’s focal point it also about your own body. Your body has energy channels that you have to “unblock” and “unlock”. It’s within these powers that you are granted auspiciousness to achieve what you want.

Page 10

The key to unlocking auspiciousness…

The energy channels are called Nāḍis. They connect through the chakras and in a biological sense can be translated into “nerve” in English.

These Nāḍis penetrate your body from the soles of your feet and flow all the way through to the crown of your head, carrying the prana (or life force) through your body. These channels are comprised of thousands of thin threads, just like your nervous system.

The word “Nāḍi” comes from the Sanskrit root “nad”, which refers to the resonating vibrations in a hollow tube. These Nāḍis have been scientifically shown to exist in all living creatures in almost exact alignment with our nervous system.

Dr. Robert O. Becker, an orthopedic surgeon in New York, found, in a 5-year study, that a constant current is always being conducted through the nervous system, even though the nerves themselves only react when they are stimulated.

Tantra also speaks of fourteen Nāḍis (or nerves) alambusha, kuhu, visvodara, varuni, hastijihva, yashaswini, payasvini, gandhari, pusha, shankhini, saraswathi, ida, pingala and sushumna. These fourteen Nāḍis form the fourteen powers represented in the 14 triangles of the Sri Yantra.

The fourteen powers break down like this:

1. Alambusha—runs from your sacral vertebrae to your urinary and genital organs.

2. Kuhu—is located in the sacral plexus, to the left of the spinal cord.3. Visvodara—are the nerves of the lumbar plexus, between Kuhu and

Hastijihva, spreading over the lower trunk and limbs.4. Varuni—are the nerves of the sacral plexus, between Kuhu and

Yashaswini, and spread over the lower trunk & limbs.5. Hastijihva—stretches from below the corner of the left eye to the

great toe of the left foot.6. Yashaswini—stretches from the right thumb to the left leg.7. Payasvini—between Pusha and Saraswathi, is the auricular branch

of the cervical plexus on the left.8. Gandhari—stretches from below the corner of the left eye to the

left leg.9. Pusha—stretches from below the corner of the right eye to the

abdomen.10. Shankhini—is located Gandhari and Saraswathi, and is the auricular

branch of the cervical plexus on the left.11. Saraswathi—is to the right of Sushumna, stretching up to the

tongue.12. Ida—stretches from under the left nostril to below the left kidney, in

the form of a bent bow.13. Pingala—is the corresponding chain to Ida, to the right.14. Sushumna—the central channel of the spinal cord.

NOTES

When we form heart-centered beliefs within our bodies, in the language of physics we’re creating the electrical and magnetic expression of them as waves of energy, which aren’t confined to our hearts or limited by the physical barrier of our skin and bones. So clearly we’re “speaking” to the

world around us in each moment of every day through a language that has no words: the belief-waves of our hearts.

— Gregg Braden

The Fourth Chakra

This level coincides with the fourth chakra, which is commonly known as the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the center of the entire chakra system...it’s the virtual gateway to the higher chakras which connect you to your soul and spirit self.

This fourth chakra is directly tied to your thymus, the epicenter of your immune system, and is the organ where your warrior t-cells—the cells critical to helping your immune system fight off any foreign substances—are created.

This chakra also gives you the ability to love freely without any fear or self-consciousness. Your heart is the seat of your emotions and deep feelings. The 4th chakra is crucial for you to actually FEEL what you want to create in your life and for you to LOVE every piece of what you are trying to create.

Being in charge of your heart center and in tune with all your Nāḍis empowers you to achieve magnificent things because

you are in tune with your emotional love and your body.

As you balance the energies of your heart, mind and emotions you’ll also be tapping into the unconditional love force of the “Infinite Intelligence” that Napoleon Hill often references.

Page 14

It’s Not Easy Being Green

As we touched on in the element infusion for this level, the green energy of this chakra allows your heart center to open up and become more receptive to the life force that emanates from your higher self. This energy can literally heal your heart, bringing balance, harmony and peace to you. It also allows you to draw more love from your higher self and radiate this out to others, helping you to accept the truth that you ARE a divine spark of the Universe and are worthy of love.

Just as there are positive aspects to having a balanced heart chakra, there are also negative emotions and feelings that can arise if this chakra is left unbalanced. These can range from feeling unloved and carrying a sense of unworthiness, to not being able to forgive yourself or others. It can also manifest feelings of selfishness, guilt, envy or jealousy.

We also trap emotions and feelings in our heart. This can be feelings of old and lost love that we have for others, ourselves or things around us. It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget what love is. And not just any love...but unconditional love—the type of love that stems from your innermost recesses. The love you had as a child...completely unconditional and without fail. Just like a child loves everything around it...so can you. Tap into that!

If you didn’t resolve your challenges surrounding the forgiveness of yourself or others in Level One, now is a great time to go back through the “Projecting Forgiveness” lesson and exercises. Accessing your higher self in this level provides you with another opportunity to examine old beliefs or perceptions that are limiting or controlling what you want to create.

Opening Up to Your New Reality

Now is also a great time to take advantage of having access to your higher self. While your heart chakra is open, think about and answer the following questions. Really soul search here and be honest with yourself. Only then will you be truly free to create everything you want in life.

What are the heart-centered emotions you are feeling?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Are there still people in your life (or even yourself) that you need to forgive? If so, who? Write this down and then go back to the Projecting:Forgiveness exercise in Level 1._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you experienced feelings of unworthiness or of not being loved? Dig deep here...what is the source of these feelings?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Write a statement or two that you can use together with the green energy of this chakra to make a positive change in your life. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your heart chakra is the doorway to the higher states of consciousness. Energy from the Earth (root chakra) flows up to your heart, while energy from your Higher Self flows down through the crown chakra to merge and co-mingle in your heart.

If you think about the whole flow of things, you are connecting with the earth through your root chakra and are “creating” from your sexual energy. You are feeling with your gut and you love with your heart. It’s the transmutation of the energy from the earth within yourself to create your ultimate destiny.

The reason why there are the 14 triangles that all relate to your nerves is because you MUST love yourself before you can love others. You must love yourself so deeply that you know you can love anyone around you, unconditionally and without judging or projecting your negativity or ego on people.

This is powerful energy! Take advantage of this powerful state and radiate love, to yourself and others and harness it to create everything that you want.

Page 16

In Real Life

Focusing again on the 14 triangles, who or what do you need help, lessons or even blessings from to accomplish your what you desire? Get specific here. It can be anything. This can be another person, specific lessons or knowledge, love or even blessings that you need in order to accomplish what you desire or create what you want.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Next to each one, write how you will unconditionally love each person, lesson or acquired knowledge.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

–Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Power of Love

While you have access to your higher self, go deeper and really tap into the powerful force of unconditional love in your everyday life. Self-love is one of the most important aspects to embodying unconditional love. If you can’t unconditionally love yourself, how are you supposed to have unconditional love for anything else?

Where in your life are you judging yourself and not loving yourself unconditionally? Next to each way, write a positive “I AM” statement that counters the negativity in a positive way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make a list of people you feel are UNLOVED. Next to each one, write down how you are going to start loving them unconditionally.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dig a little deeper into the specialized knowledge and what you need to make your desires reality. What do you need to LOVE (not just need) in order to make this happen? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Having written this down, you are one step closer to creating what you want in life. REAL change, growth and creation is going to happen when you actually embody unconditional love. This is the key to auspiciousness. Now get out there and start DOING!

Page 18

NOTES

Develop From Within…

We’ve all heard the phrase, “knowledge is power!” WRONG! Knowledge is only potential power.

As Napoleon Hill explained, there are actually two kinds of power—general and specialized. General knowledge, no matter how much you have of it, is of little use to creating what you want. Just “knowing” things is not going to do the trick. Knowledge, in and of itself, will not attract what you want.

Specialized knowledge is about drawing specific knowledge from where you need it and also developing it from within yourself. Ultimately, getting what you desire in life requires real power, and power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge.

When I’m talking about “specialized knowledge,” I’m also not strictly talking about the kind of education you get through schooling. Although in some cases this may be just the kind of knowledge you need to amass, this is not always the case. There are many examples of wildly successful people out there that had very little “schooling” and yet mastered the art of gathering the essence of “specialized knowledge” that I’m talking about here.

“Education”—derived from the Latin word “educo”—means to educe, to

draw out, and to develop from within.

Page 20

Wildly successful and yet “unschooled”…

Thomas Edison only had 3 months of “schooling” during his entire life. However, he didn’t lack real “education”, nor did he die poor!

Henry Ford had less than a 6th grade “schooling” himself, however, he managed to do pretty well himself. He started the Ford Motor Co., developed and manufactured the first affordable automobile and was the first auto manufacturer to use an assembly line.

John D. Rockefeller dropped out of high school, but went on to found the Standard Oil Co. and became the first American billionaire.

Richard Branson dropped out of formal schooling at age 16 and went on establish the “Virgin” empire!

At the age of 15, David Karp dropped out of an elite Bronx High School of Science and developed Tumblr, the blog-hosting and social network company that he eventually sold to Yahoo for $1.1 Billion.

Bill Gates dropped out of college but started Microsoft and is now one of the richest people in the world and a great philanthropist.

“Specialized knowledge” is about more than formal education as we generally think of it. It’s about really focusing on what it is that you REALLY need to attain success. For you it might be reaching out to the people or resources that can help make your outcomes happen. Alternatively, it could be taking in some training and continuing to develop your own raw talents from the inside.

Getting to the Crux of What You Need

So how do you figure out what specialized knowledge you need to make your new reality happen? Start by going through the following exercise:

What do you really want? What is the desired outcome for your new reality? What do you feel you are lacking, or what is holding you back from achieving this? What knowledge (or love of knowledge) could help you, either directly from others, or what you need to develop within yourself? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After having given this some thought, write down 5 avenues of specialized knowledge that you need to accomplish or acquire what you desire or want.

1. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5. __________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

Page 22

After you have done this, determine whether this is knowledge that you need to activate within yourself, or whether this is knowledge that you need from another person or resource:

Activate knowledge within yourself: do you have the education, lessons, or creative ideas within yourself? Or, do you need to learn something specific? If so, write down a definite plan of action for how you are going to go about obtaining the specialized knowledge and apply it to accomplish what you desire. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Help from another person or resource: you don’t necessarily need to have all of the knowledge within yourself. What are other resources (people/organizations/programs, etc.) you can draw from? How will you specifically use these resources to accomplish what you desire?

Be “definite.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Power of Love-Inspired Enthusiasm

As you go forward seeking out the specialized knowledge you need to make your desires reality, your “enthusiasm” is going to be one of the most powerful tools in your “creation arsenal.” This is not about being upbeat. Genuine enthusiasm goes much deeper than that and is both external and internal to what you’re creating. It’s a vital force that energizes your entire self—body, mind and spirit.

Genuine enthusiasm comes from the heart and finds it’s roots in LOVE. It’s that love, inside of enthusiasm, that’s important. And it’s ultimately that love that will make your enthusiasm addictive to others!

Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses one to put ACTION into the task at hand. It is the most contagious of all emotions and transmits the impetus

toward agreement and action to all within reach of your words.

–Napoleon Hill

When people come in contact with your love-inspired enthusiasm it is so palpable that they can feel it...it’s irresistible!

Love-inspired enthusiasm is the greatest tool of persuasion available to you—whether you are directing it toward someone else...or yourself.

You might not be in the sales business, however, the truth is we are ALL selling ourselves, each and every day! Think about it, if you are wanting to start a new business, write a book, or create some other audience-facing thing, your success will depend, in some part, on people welcoming your ideas into their own life.

Also, you may not see any reason to persuade yourself of anything, but self-persuasion gives you the power to develop the roots of your BELIEF and PASSION...that ultimately enable you to create what you want. Love-inspired enthusiasm is the vital force that energizes all of the forces within your mind, body and spirit.

Page 24

Put the Power of Enthusiasm to Work For You

As Napoleon Hill stated, enthusiasm is contagious! Contagiousness is that magical power to “sell” your actions, thoughts and ideas to others. And “selling” is helping others’ minds to vibrate in harmony with your own. When you reach out with genuine enthusiasm, you can bring others’ minds into rapport with your own. Your enthusiasm enables you to transmit feelings of appreciation, desire and excitement to others.Remember, what you’re saying is important, however, mere words will be useless unless they carry belief, conviction, passion and love-inspired enthusiasm with them!

It’s time for you to start putting the power of your own enthusiasm to work for you:

1. Associate back to your child self like you did during the element infusion in this level. (i.e., Jump around, go exploring, eat something that you did when you were a child, or listen to something like you did as a kid.)

2. While you are doing this, think about what you need to LOVE and be enthusiastic about to make your desires a reality.

3. Next, get into mind-rapport with others—you can do this by being present and engaged and sharing your genuine enthusiasm with them. Share from your heart, feel it with the most beautiful, purest, most unconditional love. Project that energy out of your heart as you talk with others.

4. Make it about more than just you—express a sincere interest in someone beyond yourself. Be willing to “go the extra mile.”

5. Write down all of your thoughts and feelings around this and the definite steps you are going to take:

What are you enthusiastic about?

Who are you going to reach out to, to share your enthusiasm?

What can you do to engage and be present with this person or group?

What are you going to do and how are you going to “go the extra mile” and make this about more than just you?

Love and gratefulness go hand-in-hand...so, take this process one step further and revisit everything that you were grateful for in Level 1 and FEEL the unconditional love outpouring to each from your heart.

Page 26

Your Brilliant Heart!

We’ve talked a lot about love and unconditional love and touched on the power of your Nāḍis. Now, I want to dive into one of the most remarkable forces of creation housed within your body—your HEART.

Your heart possesses an intelligence all it’s own. Its intelligence is so powerful that it directly affects both your emotions

and your physical health. There are 40,000 neurons found in the heart—the same number as the brain itself! The heart’s

electromagnetic field is also five thousand times stronger than the brain’s electromagnetic field. Fifty percent of heart cells are neural and form their own neural network...this is what’s

commonly referred to as the intelligence of the heart.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, at the HeartMath Institute, delved deeply into the intelligence of the heart and the power of its electromagnetic field. The results of their studies are stunning!

As they discovered, the electromagnetic field of your heart envelops your entire body and extends out in all directions. This field was measured up to several feet outside of the body! The research showed that, as you consciously focus on feeling positive emotions, it has positive effects on your health and wellbeing. On top of this, as your heart sends intuitive signals, including feelings of love, happiness, care and appreciation to your body, it’s also sending them to everyone around you! When such positive emotions are felt, they not only change patterns of activity in the nervous system; they also reduce stress hormones and even boost your immune system.

Who knew you had such a powerhouse inside of you? ...well, now you do. And it’s your choice what you do with it. You can stay stuck in your mind OR you can let go of the noise of thoughts that keep you in your mind and harness the power of your heart consciousness and intelligence.

Opening your heart and focusing on emitting positive messages will not only benefit your own mind and body and that of those around

you...you’ll also be harnessing the greatest tool for creating what you desire most.

Did you know?

Project:Work—Tap Into Your Heart Center

In this Project:Work you will be putting the intelligence, love and wisdom of your heart to work. While you concentrate on love and what you really enjoy doing, tap into your heart center. Then, continue on with the guided meditation and experience a powerful exercise devised by the HeartMath Institute, called the Freeze-Frame Technique™, which will help to rid you of bad memories and fill you with love.

Begin in a cross-legged position with a straight spine. Inhale and as you exhale, gently place the palms at your heart. Let your breath be steady as it fills your chest and feel the chest rise and fall with your hands.

Continue to breathe in and out as you begin to bring awareness to your heart space. Start to imagine your breath moving in a circle, in a clockwise direction, from each ventricle and atrium of your heart. (pause)

Now think of what you truly love doing, your passion. Visualize this and the root of your love-inspired enthusiasm. Imagine this moving in this circle with your breath in your heart. (pause)

Place one hand to rest on your knee, keeping the other palm at your heart. With the hand that remained at your heart space, take your forefinger and middle finger and start to tap your heart area gently, in a rhythm that mimics your breath.

Think of the people that are the blessings in your life that propel the passion of what you love doing. With each tap, feel their names in your heart. (pause) Picture their faces. (pause) Let the love you feel, the thought that you could never live without them, be your heart’s fuel as it continues to beat and flow. (pause)

At the next inhale, bring your hands to a prayer position at your heart center and think of anything that has served this passion, your life purpose with immense gratitude. (Pause)

Continue to breath here, in this moment of sweet surrender. (pause)

Feel it with pure, unconditional love.

Bring your hands to rest at your knees and gently open your eyes.

Notice how you feel after this guided visualization. The wisdom, intuition and openness of your heart are something you can tap into anytime.

Page 28

Doc Childre and Howard Martin of the Heart Math Institute devised a great exercise for harnessing your heart’s power to gain control over your thoughts and emotions. It’s called the Freeze-Frame Technique™. The beauty of it is that it only takes a minute! The steps are basically as follows:

1. Catch yourself when you enter a state of distress and Freeze-Frame it.

2. Try your best to bring your focus to your heart as we did in this meditation. Although your thoughts and emotions may still be racing, let them become background noise. The authors recommend “breathing through the heart” to help you focus your awareness there.

3. Bring a pleasant memory to mind. Pick one that’s fun and happy. Try to relive that memory, feeling what you felt when you were experiencing it.

4. Ask your heart for a better, more efficient solution to the current situation, one that will reduce any future stress.
