What If Wellness

May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.

May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with the rhythm of
the universe.

May you have respect for your individuality
and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.

Our research shows a powerful, measurable relationship between the heart and the brain – and how they communicate to keep the body well.

When you’ve been living in stress and survival, these centers become incoherent, pushing the body further out of balance.

But when you place your awareness on your heart – slowing your breathing and feeling elevated emotions like gratitude and wholeness – you activate this center and signal the brain to move out of stress and into a more relaxed, creative state.

As the heart and brain synchronize, they create more order and regulation in the body … leading you back to balance, homeostasis, and health.

Practice creating heart and brain coherence with the More Heart set – featuring two 16-minute guided meditations with music by Meilan Maurits ❤️
