What does it mean to work from the heart?

On December 21, 2012, at the tail end of a creative burnout that ended my second career, I made a solemn promise to myself. More than anything else in the world, I wanted to know what it means to work from the heart.

In pursuit of an answer, I purchased a one-way ticket to a small island, where I pondered that question, working odd jobs and meditating in caves.

Then I wrote a book so you could skip that step.

Working from the Heart is an online course that condenses a decade of insight and growth into 35 pages, five video lessons, and five simple practices.

Your heart offers you courage, acceptance, peace, wisdom, inspiration, gratitude, patience, kindness, empathy, compassion, forgiveness, faith, trust, joy, bliss, ecstasy, and unconditional love.

Working from the Heart is the practice of cultivating these qualities of the heart. It means living from your deepest truth.

This course is based, in part, on the Sedona Method.

What I wish for you

Discover your heart's deepest desires, and infuse your work with meaning and purpose, so that even the most mundane tasks can be an expression of love;

Awaken your inner genius by learning to surrender your cares, worries and problems, and welcome inspiration, insights and solutions;

Build empathetic bridges from your heart to your colleages, friends and family, so that you enjoy smooth communication, friction-free collaboration, and positive outcomes;

Invite these five practices to infuse your work with heart

Working from the Heart does not require study, strain, or stress. Allow yourself to play with these exercises. Notice what works for you, and what you enjoy.

Pushing the Reset Button

The thymus thump is a simple technique that demonstrates the energetic connection of your heart and body. A vigorous thump can reset your emotional state, enabling you to overcome an upset with courage, gratitude and love. A gentle tap can lead you to a meditative state of rest in the healing, life affirming emotions of the heart.

Loving Yourself Awake

Use heart energy to set the emotional tone for the day. Begin each day with courage, faith, trust, gratitude and unconditional love, so that working from the heart becomes a habit.

Listening for Insight

Learn how to consistently and reliably tap into insight, inspiration, and intuitive guidance. Spend a moment before sleep to surrender your worries to the power that knows the way. Learn to listen for the still, small voice of the heart that offers peace and certainty.

Centering Yourself in Love

Connect to your heart throughout the day and create empathic bridges to your colleagues, family, friends and loved ones. Hold a problem, a task, or a piece of communication to your heart and infuse it with courage, kindness, trust and compassion.

What is Your Heart's Desire?

Open yourself to your heart's deepest desires and use them as a compass to guide you through your day, the world, and any troubles that may arise.
