In this episode, our guest Neale Donald Walsch, globally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author of the Conversations with God book series, joins us for an extraordinary conversation about the heart. Neale and our host, Deborah Rozman, explore questions such as what’s the difference between the heart and the soul? Is the heart the coupling between our human self and our soul self?
Neale describes people as 3-part beings; the mind, the body and the soul. However, in this exploration, Neale and Deborah discuss the heart as part of this equation and the conversation expands our understanding to include the energetic or spiritual heart – making us all 4-part beings. The heart is how we connect with something greater than ourselves.
(more…)Read moreAs science is trying to better understand this connection, what we do know is that the body is a kind of receiver of energetic information. And at the core, it is the heart that is helping us to understand and decode the information we receive energetically – which we call the heart’s intuitive guidance. Since the heart is also capable of broadcasting energetic information, the question is asked, what information are we broadcasting and to whom?
We broadcast our feelings and emotions through the heart’s energetic field. That’s how we pick up on each other’s vibes (vibrations). We broadcast higher heart feelings such as love, care, compassion and kindness, as well as feelings of heartache, anxiety, fear, resentment, etc.
To get our heart and mind aligned and receive intuitive guidance from soul/spirit/God, do we have to choose to open our heart, to love and care and have compassion for each other? This question is discussed.
The conversation wraps up with an exercise and a heart meditation we can each use to invite our mind to align more deeply with our heart and intuitive guidance.
Read lessToday’s stressful world and all its unpredictable changes often create challenges in our home life. Many of today’s issues are adding mental and emotional strain on parents. Our’children and grandchildren feel these stressors too, which can lead to an increase in undesirable behaviors – such as acting out, talking back, not listening, etc. As patience is tested, many parents try to correct and control their kids’ attitudes and actions, without a lot of success.
In this episode, Dr. Jorina Elbers, Pediatric Neurologist, Trauma and Parenting Specialists, and Program Director for the Trauma Recovery Project at the HeartMath Institute, shares with host Deborah Rozman how she and her husband Owen have found that by focusing first on their own emotional self-regulation then tuning to their heart for intuitive direction, their communications with their boys has become much more effective.
Jorina also shares a couple of powerful heart tools she uses to manage her personal energy and shift into a heart coherent place which enables her to reduce over-reacting to their undesirable behaviors. She says many parents are told to just breathe to avoid reacting, however if we don’t add heart coherence to a situation, we often end up lecturing a child which shuts down communication. Learning how to shift into heart coherence is key for increasing a parent’s or grandparent’s ability to respond in a way that empowers them in adverse situations – and kids do take notice.
Jorina and Deborah discuss how we can allow children to experience intense emotions in a healthy way. Rather than scolding their behavior, using heart-directed practices can validate their emotions, which helps to defuse their energy and allows for a deeper heart connection and communication to unfold – uncovering what’s really going on.
(more…)Read moreJorina says, "When we elevate our personal energy first, get into a heart coherent space, we can then also help our kids to elevate their energy. When you have kids and parents working together in this way, the connection and communication can be very deep and rewarding."

Read lessWhat is fulfillment and how do we find it and nurture it?
In this episode, Lynne Twist joins host Deborah Rozman to discuss how having a purpose larger than yourself is what leads to deep fulfillment. Lynne says that when we get "off our self-centered focus, we open to new possibilities" that reward us.
We’re in a time when many societal structures and ways of thinking and being are giving way to something new and as yet unformed, which can leave us feeling uncertain, without direction. In her new book, Finding Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger than Yourself, Lynne explains why it’s so important that we listen deeply to our hearts to find and unfold our larger purpose.
Lynne is a recognized global visionary, who has dedicated her life to serving a greater good. She has been an advisor to the Desmond Tutu Foundation and is the recipient of the prestigious "Woman of Distinction’’ award from the United Nations. She helped found the World Hunger Project and the Pachamama Alliance. She sees the time we’re in now as a re-birthing process for humanity and a grand opportunity to find a new vision and purpose in serving a greater whole.
Lynne and Deborah talk about why vision and purpose are essential for personal fulfillment. Their conversation explores the difference between taking a ‘heart-stand’ that unifies people rather than a "mind stance" that separates. Lynne explains how holding a fixed position on issues is what creates judgments and polarization, blocking our ability to see or consider other perspectives.
(more…)Read moreDeborah and Lynne offer hopeful insights and next steps in finding or unfolding a larger purpose. Listening to and following the heart’s inclusive guidance is what will ultimately bring people together, leading to solutions that serve the greater good, and that is love.

Jacqueline and Deborah discuss how gratitude and appreciation aren’t just nice gestures, but are powerful emotions that activate the brain’s reward pathways, feel-good hormones and endorphins that can greatly improve our outlook on life. They also share how scientists have been studying the "Helper’s High" that comes from giving gratitude. When we do something authentic and meaningful for others, it opens our heart and provides us with uplift, spirit renewal and health benefits.
(more…)Read moreThe HeartMath research lab also discovered that when we sincerely feel gratitude or appreciation for family, friends, nature, or the convenient things in life, a profound change occurs in our heart rhythms. They become more synchronized and coherent, which increases mental clarity, resilience and well-being needed for discernment and better choices, especially in today’s stressful environment.
Jacqueline and Deborah provide simple suggestions on how each of us can amplify gratitude and appreciation in our own lives to quickly uplift our thoughts, feelings and outlook.

Read lessMany Gen Z’s and millennials have lost trust in humanity and hope for the future. Most will tell you they’re stressed much of the time, according to a Deloitte 2022 survey. Driving their stress are feelings of being financially insecure and mentally burned out, fears over climate change, and world unrest.
In this episode, Dillon Brooks, a TikTok channel creator who has established a sizable community for Gen Z’s and millennials called "Citizen Scientists," and our host, Deborah Rozman, discuss what becoming a citizen scientist means and why it’s important for empowerment and creating the positive change we desire personally and collectively.

As a citizen scientist, rather than listening to handed-down dogma, you are empowering yourself to research, experiment, listen to your heart, and learn what really works for you.
Dillon appreciates how HeartMath® research and techniques have challenged outdated mindsets about the heart, mind, and emotions. HeartMath shows how these systems can work together to create lasting behavior change and a life that is aligned with purpose.

Read lessSome of our deepest heart connections are with our pets. Whether it’s a dog, cat, bird, hamster, or another animal, the love and care we exchange with our pets is supportive and healing for us and them. This undeniable energetic heart exchange with pets is the focus of this episode.
In this episode, Dr. Allen Schoen, a pioneer of holistic veterinary medicine and recognized as one of the most influential veterinarians worldwide for introducing an integrative approach to veterinary medicine, and our host, Deborah Rozman, explore this amazing energetic heart connection between people and pets. The therapeutic benefits associated with human-pet bonding aren’t new. In fact, research has shown this powerful bond can help decrease stress, regulate breathing, lower blood pressure, and release oxytocin – a hormone associated with love.
Dr. Schoen’s research exploring the heart-to-heart connection of the human-pet bond suggests that without the healing power of the love of animals that uplifts people’s lives, the world would be an even more stressed-out place. Animal lovers will enjoy hearing about the heart-rhythm synchronization that happens when people send love to their pets. Deborah explains these findings that come out of the HeartMath Institute.
