    Understanding our Core Heart Values

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 12, 2020 19:00


    - When those values are not honored, we feel pain. We can often see what we value most deeply, by looking at the things that bother us or cause us pain. Looking at the opposite of that pain can reveal our deepest value. Sometimes, when there is too much pain, we act out of that pain instead of staying true to our heart. Learning to identify our deep heart values can help us live from them even in the face of pain and malfunction in ourselves and others.

    Do you know how to quiet your mind and body? Do you know how to reach out to someone else who can help you to quiet if you can't deal with what is going on inside or outside?   Lowering my own energy level so I can rest after both joyful and upsetting emotions, as I need to and on my own, makes me feel stable. This self-soothing capacity is the strongest predictor of good mental health for the lifetime. Technical description: Release-on-demand of serotonin by the vegetative branch of parasympathetic nervous system quiets both positive and distressing emotional states.
