Heart Wisdom
Last weekend I went to go to a book signing and talk by Dr. Joe Vitale in Toronto. I was thrilled when I saw Joe’s posting on his blog because I was going to be in Toronto that same weekend and at a workshop in a nearby hotel. It was effortless to go and hear him speak.
On the same bill was a woman I had not heard of before, Dr. Lise Janelle, talking about her new book Conversation with the Heart. When I read the outline I felt like the night was designed perfectly for my interests; both of my passions, the heart and advanced Law of Attraction principles.
Lise and Joe were a wonderful combination and I am thoroughly enjoying reading Conversation with the Heart. It has both information about the wisdom of our hearts and the value in listening to the hearts along with practical exercises to get in touch with that wisdom. Joe was speaking about his new book, Expect Miracles and I enjoyed reading that this week.
It was amazing to see how closely Joe and Lise answered the questions from the audience. Although they come from different backgrounds, their answers were completely in line with each other. Not surprising when you think that we attract what we desire by being in the same vibration as the desire. If our hearts are prompting us, then the desire is in alignment with the heart itself.
I know I am much happier and more fulfilled since I began to listen to the wisdom in my own heart. I am grateful every day that I chose to act on my heart’s urging and retire from teaching. It was perfect timing and it’s giving me the opportunity to apply everything I’ve been teaching for the last several years so I stay in a high vibration and at peace during these turbulent economic times. My ego has kicked up a fuss about how I will manage financially, but my heart knows and expects to not only survive but thrive.
On the 30th of October at 9:00 pm eastern, Sonia Choquette, another of my favourite teachers, is doing a workshop with Scott Martineau of Conscious One. It’s called Can You Hear Your Quieter Voices? Here are a few lines from the promotion for the call.
“In order to lead a happy, fulfilled, abundant life one has to be able to hear the quieter voices. To be still and hear them requires some skill. To know what questions to ask requires some knowledge. To know how to create your heart’s desire and live it daily requires wisdom and an action plan.
Sonia Choquette is an expert at leading a life listening to her quieter voices. She’s an author of more than 13 books- her latest one was a New York Times Best Seller and she’s the creator of her own Heart’s Desire Coaching Program.
Don’t let the loud distractions of today’s life stop you from creating your heart’s desire in your life right now. Now is the time to get more grounded in your own voices and leave the distractions to others. Sonia will show you how on this special live call - learn more here: http://tinyurl.com/5etmzl.”
I’m certainly going to be on the call and I appreciate how I am attracting all this support to do what I feel is my life’s work.
I have a couple more spots remaining in my offer to read your hands for only $49.00. The regular price is $149.00, so this is a great offer for a limited number of people.
It was learning my life purpose that gave me the inspiration to leave the security of my job and do what my heart had been calling me to do. Some of the benefits of a Hand Analysis include:
1. discovering your true life purpose
2. understanding why you struggle with one or more areas of life by uncovering your life lesson
3. getting clear direction of what you should do to ease or stop your struggle
4. learning more about the gifts you have and how to use those both for yourself and to help others
5. discovering your niche market for your services
Watch for next week’s announcement of a f*ree teleclass series on Maintaining Peace in Turbulent Times. People have been asking me to share a variety of tips to tune out the fearful voices and stay calm and peaceful. I have ten tips already and am excited to share them with others and help people at this time.
May your heart be blessed.

Cultivating Peace in Times of Scarcity
I recently read that scarcity is one of three basic human triggers. Want to know the other two? Curiosity and controversy!
Reading that inspired me to write about how to handle your fear of you find its being generated by all the hype about credit scarcity for mortgages. How do you keep a sense of calm when you read that you will lose your home despite your ability to make your mortgage payments?
Here’s what I do. I discipline my mind to focus on my intended outcomes rather than my fears. I use an affirmation such as, “I easily and joyfully attract the ideal mortgage vendor for my successful renewal.”
I recently listened to a call by Bruce Cryer of the HeartMath organization. He described the effects of stress on our bodies and the easy to practice congruence routine.
Did you know that there are 1400 biochemical changes in your body as a result of stressful emotions? Yes, you read that correctly - 1400! When you have stressful emotions, your mind becomes clouded and you make more mistakes. Your body is clumsy and you can easily fall and injure yourself.
When you have positive emotions, you also have biochemical changes; however these are energizing and beneficial. HeartMath sells a product called the EmWave that tracks your heart rate. I watched Bruce’s heart rate pattern change as he imagined a stressful situation and then level out into calmness and a smooth rhythm just by his doing a simple process that took only a couple of minutes.
Here are the basic steps of the HeartMath technique as I remember them from the call.
1. Put your attention on the area around your heart.
2. Breathe into this area and feel the warmth. Breathe in and out as though through your heart.
3. Remember a person or a situation that brings you joy and feel appreciation. Spend some time continuing this process. In a short time your heart rate will be smooth and rhythmic and your body will experience positive biochemical changes.
As The Heart Activist, I am committed to living with an open heart and helping others to do the same. When I am contracted with fear, I don’t feel open-hearted. I want to close down and protect myself. I expect you are the same.
Does worrying about scarcity help stave it off? No way! It just allows those 1400 biochemical changes to go coursing through your body. When you place your trust in the power of your heart to create the life you desire, you take positive action.
Next time you watch the news or read the paper or listen to someone proclaiming doom and gloom remember to focus on your heart, breathe through it and feel grateful about someone or thing you love.
The Law of Attraction tells us we will get what we put our attention on and feel strong emotions about, whether positive or negative. Use this technique to keep your attention on what you desire and your vibration positive.
To your heart health,
Rosemary

Limiting Beliefs are Like Weeds
The other day I noticed a large growth of weeds in one of my gardens. I hadn’t noticed them in previous years but now they spoil the look of the garden and they are in the way of the new plants. As I was weeding, it occurred to me that the weeds are similar to limiting beliefs. They may have been around for many years and perhaps they didn’t interfere with us, but when we are ready for a different goal the belief is in the way of success and has to be removed.
Some of the weeds came out easily with the bulb sitting near the surface of the ground. Others were down so deep the tool I was using didn’t budge the bulb out. Just as some limiting beliefs are easy to let go of when we are ready and others are far more difficult to release. If we catch them early on, they uproot easily whereas the ones that we’ve held for many years have deep roots and take more effort to release.
I wasn’t satisfied just getting the blade because I knew if I didn’t get the whole root the weed would just grow again. I would pull and get some out and then have to go back and dig under a little and pull again to get the rest. I’ve had this experience with beliefs too. I think I’ve gotten rid of it and then later find it coming up to bother me again.
In some places the weed looked so close to the plant nearby I wasn’t sure it was a weed. Isn’t that just like some beliefs – they appear to be good information, the real thing, only upon close examination are they revealed to be damaging or fake.
After I had been working for a while, I started to question whether I should bother digging out the weeds no one else can see? Hidden behind a healthy plant, was it worth the trouble to dig them out? Yes, it was because in time they would have taken over and killed the healthy plant. I would know they were there and it’s my garden. Don’t I want it to look as beautiful as it can for me, or are the neighbours more important?
Limiting beliefs left hidden will eventually overtake healthy ones and kill them off. Experience tells me that trying to keep something hidden take a tremendous amount of energy away and causes me far more trouble than the time it would take to clean it up. Whether anyone else knows I have them is irrelevant. I know and it’s me they’ll hurt in the end.
Looking at the whole garden, these weeds are only a small part of the overall beautiful picture, but when I looked at the garden they were where I put my attention, rather than on the pretty flowers. And isn’t that the way of limiting beliefs? They’re a small part of who we are and yet they command the greatest amount of our attention.
What limiting beliefs are taking up your attention and keeping you from fulfilling your goals and dreams? Weed them out in the 8 Keys: Unlock the Door to Prosperity teleclass. Prosperity is more than money. It includes great health, supportive loving relationships and leading an inspired life.
Class begins Monday October 6 at 9:00 pm eastern, 6:00 pacific. The class is only $79.00 and includes the 8 Keys: Unlock the Door to Prosperity e-book. Register at http://www.rosemaryheenan.com/teleclasses.html.

The Manifesting Power of Appreciation
As a follow up to the article on “When You Find What You Want Inside You, You Will Find What You Want Outside You” I sent out a couple of weeks ago, I’d like to share some miracles I have received. I believe they came as a direct result of expressing appreciation for all that is.
I began a gratitude journal again last week and have been writing at least five things in it each night. Last week I had a minor car collision that I was responsible for. I had to pay for repairing the damages to the other car.
I’ve heard that when we have what seems to be problems with too much money going out, if we affirm “I can hardly wait to see what good God has in store for me now” we will attract to us more money than we are having to pay.
I decided to put this to the test and began affirming it over and over. As you can imagine, I also had some negative emotions and fears and I used EFT and Ho’oponopono to release those. I was determined to not let this experience throw me off course in keeping my attention focused on my desired outcomes and not the present reality.
I had planned to attend an Advance Energy workshop being put on by a healer I know and love in Toronto next weekend. When I saw what the repairs would cost, I called and told the host that I would not be able to attend. I released on the outcome and kept affirming, “I can hardly wait to see what good God has in store for me.” A couple of days after I had cancelled, I received a call from another of the hosts asking if I would attend as a scribe. I can go to the workshop and take notes for them and attend at no charge.
Wow! That was a huge and most welcome surprise. It taught me that by expecting good, I allowed it to come to me.
My miracles didn’t end there. A friend I work with invited me to his home yesterday for a visit and to hear about the business he is doing. We decided to attend a psychic fair and he was happy to have someone willing to go with him. When I went over, he gave me some money to spend at the fair, treated me to the entrance fee and also bought me a beautiful massage wand. After the fair, he took me out for a lovely dinner. I had brought him some gifts and read his fingerprints for him, and truly enjoyed sharing the day with him.
As I drove home I reflected on his joy in giving me those treats and how much I appreciated them. I gave him a gift by being open to receive and his pleasure was evident. I had the same experience in sharing my gifts with him. That reminded me of one of Bijan’s Effortless Prosperity daily lessons, “I Give As I Receive”.
Do you remember how much joy you feel when you gave a gift and you could see how much the person receiving loved it? That’s the meaning of Bijan’s lesson. When we receive, we give back our joy and appreciation and the donor receives those and is blessed.
Another word for appreciation is increase. Whatever we appreciate expands. I invite you to join me in keeping a gratitude journal and trusting that God, or the Universe, has great blessings in store for those who appreciate all they have. Remember to affirm and expect great good when you have unexpected expenditures. You’re going to spend the money anyway, why not prove that it’s opening a door and flooding you with gifts.

Ho'oponopono Clears Limiting Beliefs
I had an inspiring experience today by using Ho’oponopono on a troubling conversation with a friend.
I'd been talking with this friend about my excitement with my investment plan, called InVeStworks. I shared with her that I would love to use this program with some favourite non-profit organizations who work with children. A key feature of the InVeStworks model is that it can be used to create a living fund-raising program.
My friend asked me if I would benefit financially if the non-profit used the model and I said “yes”. Then she proposed that I would be more likely to have the non-profit use this plan if I didn’t stand to make any money from it. I replied that I saw no conflict with it and since I would be introducing it to them and it was for their benefit, why wouldn’t it be okay for me to also make money from it?
I could feel my inner doubts and while the conversation ended at that point, I’ve not been comfortable with it and it keeps coming back to me. I know and trust that I am responsible for creating my life and my experiences. If I heard these thoughts expressed by her, there had to be something in me that brought them up.
Today I chose to repeat the Ho’oponopono prayer over and over while replaying this conversation in my mind. My goal was to clear whatever part of me was responsible for her saying that. How could I continue to create success in building my network of partners and be confident in introducing InVeStworks to non-profits if underneath my awareness I believed that I was acting only from self interest?
After about ten minutes of repeating the four phrases or prayers of Ho’oponopono, I started to hear an inner voice telling me that this plan is something I am passionate about. By marrying this with my passion for the non-profit’s work, I am helping the non-profit raise money. I will further assist them by helping them find partners to build their income from the program. Thus I get to do something that will help a cause I believe in and while I make a return on my work, the non-profit could have a sustainable, secure income it would otherwise not have.
I felt peaceful and completely free of niggling beliefs of self-service. By taking responsibility for this conversation, I had cleared any inner doubts that might have been holding me back from taking action to introduce InVeStworks to my non-profit.
Thanks to Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len for making Ho’oponopono known to all of us.
“I love you. Thank you. Please forgive me. I’m sorry.” - four simple phrases that clear us of negative internal beliefs. Imagine all the good that will come of me sharing my investment plan with organizations working with young children. They’ll be able to focus on their work while the InVeStworks plan earns them residual income. A win-win situation for all.
