As a spiritual aspirant for over 30 years, and in my profession as a Ph.D. Psychologist, I have practiced numerous techniques and approaches for enhancing well being and spiritual growth...

... yet none of them can compare to the profound peace, joy, and love experienced from going into the depths of our heart.

I now realize that the path of the Heart is the most direct approach to our ultimate fulfillment.  Many of us know that we are meant to follow our hearts, listen to our hearts and live from our hearts.  About 4 years ago I thought I was grounded in my heart and I now realize that I had only scratched the surface of my heart. Even though I had become an established and successful meditator who could easily experience an extended space between my thoughts and the pause between my breaths, I was not truly heart centered nor was I experiencing the inner depths of my heart.  The last three years of my life have been the most profound, since I realized and can experience the deep joy and love radiating from the core of my heart. 

I am so grateful to know that opening our hearts completely, is a great gift that we offer ourselves, our families and our planet. From the depths of our heart we experience the direct loving connection to the True Source, the Source of Love and Light.  As I let go, and allow my heart to love the True Source more and more, the joy and love continues to deepen beyond what I ever imagined.  What is so amazing to me, is that my efforts, skills, or ability to focus, has nothing to do with enhancing the process and are actually obstacles that block one from going into their heart. It is simply my willingness to feel what is already their, and to allow the love to bring me deeper into the love.  This sacred process is available to all of us who are willing to let love work the way love truly is.  I trust that if you listen to your heart call, you will feel that Love is calling you home to the core of your heart, your true self. I am grateful to share the journey of life with so many hearts that are feeling the inner calling to be instruments of light and love, the way the Source of Light and Love wants us to be.
