Learn what it takes to bring your compassionate presence more fully to others in challenging circumstances.

In this solo episode I discuss how to be a person who makes every situation better simply by being there. Scientific studies have shown that by cultivating greater coherence in the heart’s energy field we can make a positive impact on the people around us who are going through difficulties. I share some tasks to focus on to help develop your own ability to be fully present with a compassionate heart for the good of everyone in our society.
This episode includes:
- The heart’s electromagnetic field is the most powerful in the body according to the HeartMath Institute
- Coherence occurs when there is harmony between body, mind, spirit, and emotions
- Coherent energy from one person helps create calmer energy for other people
- End-of-life workers can make a big difference for patients and families by increasing the coherence of their own heart energy
- 5 tasks to make difficult times better:
- Be willing to show up when things fall apart
- Be a safe container
- Be a deep listener
- Be a truth-teller
- Be a way-shower
Heart coherence serves as a facilitator, adding strength and effectiveness to your care, compassion, intentions and actions to help the world.
