“I came to the heart rhythm meditation community when my husband passed away in 2010. Even with all the skill I possessed as a therapist, I didn’t know enough to help myself heal from the loss of my soulmate. 

I am also a woman in recovery from childhood sexual abuse and religious abuse. I needed a strong practice to help my heart to heal in a spiritual way. Psychological healing and physical healing are important. Healing my relationship with the spirit of Life and becoming strong enough to help others heal was yet to come.

I consider myself to be privileged. As a white woman who was deeply loved by her partner,  I had access to extraordinary communities on my healing path. I studied the messages given to me in my dreams and I followed the body and its messages for me. I participated in professional communities to learn depth hypnotherapy and worked quite deeply with process oriented techniques. 

I had the money, the time, and the spiritual support.

As a psychotherapist, checking in with guidance for healing and life decisions has always been important to me. It became increasingly important to me over time to find the specific guidance that I needed to heal tragedies that most folks find it impossible to think about.

Heart Rhythm Meditation gave me an aware connection with my soul. From this place I found a wisdom that surpassed the vast knowledge of the inner world that I had already accrued.

I became capable of relaxing more deeply in my role as a therapist. The healing forces that moved with me helped me to care deeply about myself and care just as deeply about the person sitting in front of me. 

I also began to feel the larger being that holds all life. There is a beautiful awareness that grows within me each day. I am a finite being with an infinite partner. This infinite partner feels the desire of my heart and offers all resource toward my humble self in the accomplishment or the process of making my desire manifest. 

Simple things like a yearly case of bronchitis no longer happens.

I trust the resolution of small depressions and anxieties that come as the result of living in challenging times.

I find myself taking on challenges in work and play that help me to live more fully from a vision that exceeds anything I considered possible.

I design and facilitate healing workshops for folks healing from sexual assault.

I help couples find a shared heart path that inspires them to solve their differences with an air of playfulness and genius. 

When I teach heart rhythm meditation to my clients and students they begin to challenge the places inside themselves that had been numb for decades. 

I taught a father whose daughter was raped to meditate. He was able to take his body off the high alert of constant anxiety and begin to find ways to achieve a peace that allowed him to care about his life. He stopped drinking and started living again. 

The challenges of being human are many. I have found that energizing the heart brings many talents, gifts and qualities to the foreground, so that the meditator can continuously heal and step forward with the exact contribution that is needed in their families and in their community.”

The heart only guarantees one thing, and that is the real you. If it’s your heart’s desire, it will manifest. When I started, I was burned out, in debt, just finished chiropractic school, I didn’t have a penny. I didn’t think I could do it. I can say that this program restores your faith, your heart, and helps you fulfill your purpose.

If you are serious about making progress along the spiritual path, this is a fantastic way to do it. You are nurtured and protected all along the way. I don’t think you can really do without it. You can read, but reading doesn’t really give you experiences, it just makes you think that you know.

The depth of the whole faculty is amazing. Everyone is very, very good.

As someone who was very resistant to the process of change, and refused to open up initially, I cannot stress the power of unconditional support and love from my teachers and classmates. They were endlessly supportive and present, letting me go at my own pace and in my own way. I was a brand-new meditator and had limited experience in this work prior to iAMU. The teachers gently supported me and met me where I was at all times, and the results were astounding.
