Heart Coherence will protect you: How
Healing Elaine®: Bridging the Gap Between Medical & Spiritual®
When I began my work with clients decades ago, I knew the enemy would attack. I was already very familiar with him. My understanding transcended third party assistance - reading, church, any external teaching; rather it simply lived inside me - inside my heart. Others would approach me with fear porn, letting me know that I needed to do xyz for “protection” - but I knew differently. I had a good, and strong heart…and that was my protection.
I wrote about my conversion to the Catholic faith here. A strong reason for that conversion was connected to God’s requirement for me to go deeper as well as become more regulated in my approach to Him. It was in theory what I’d already been “doing” before, but what I’d been doing before was a fraction of his new requirement for me. Essentially, I went as far as I could go “my way”. With all that said, the core of the truth did not change one bit - all of the power in the human realm was still in the heart.
When we lie, we are out of alignment with our heart. We are not in heart coherence. Lying to others is one thing, lying to ourselves is another, and then lying to God is a whole other. At any given stage in our day or life, we fall into the above sin one way or another. There are varying degrees of blowback that occur based on what God knows about our heart coherence at that time and place. We may resort to playing the victim and remain stunted with blowback because of “xyz person place or thing” - continuing to cloud ourselves, avoiding being courageous, refusing to look at truth. If this continues, our heart coherence fades and we become grey - inside and out. God often sends along a messenger to give us the opportunity to wake up and level up - if we reject this messenger, we suffer to the brink of metaphoric spiritual and sometimes even physical death. Our external efforts become greater and our subsequent “success” is but a fraction of what it would otherwise be - and we can’t even enjoy it. Ignoring God’s messengers in this context is akin to a final Hail Mary as I wrote about here.
We know we are lying to ourselves when we move into FEAR - we may mask this fear with work, conversations with others who encourage us to lie to ourselves, addiction, and substances/medications. There is something we simply refuse to look at, but it is too painful - and we would almost rather accept the worst fate known to man: dying alone (without God). Such ultimate physical death becomes easier to contend with than the spiritual death whilst IN the physical (in which we are with God, but WITHOUT man). Except it isn’t, actually, easier - because time and space will collapse on our death bed and feel like an utter eternity all the same as God forces us to confront our lies.
Lies are the opposite of heart coherence. Before I became acutely aware of both religious and scientific teachings regarding the heart, I knew this. It’s why I deep dived my life away as a young 20 something asking for help and studying with therapists to gain greater understanding into my person; and they always came back to me with the same thing: there is nothing wrong in your life other than the people you surround yourself with. It was then that I learned, if I could align my heart with others who lived like me, I would be just fine. It’s just that it was against my nature to believe that those “others” existed - I had rarely met them, they were not the majority.
The main reason I launched my healing consulting practice was to help the other others. After I got over tremendous fear of “doing God’s work” and therefore potentially upsetting Him, because “who was I?” to do such, all I could focus on was the often dozens of similar souls and thinkers I was meeting per week. It was a dream come true, and the happiness I could feel coming from God was not something I ever expected - for I’ve lived my entire life believing I’m always doing something less than what God wants. This, naturally, has made me my own worst critic, constantly wanting to improve and transcend what does not belong. Upon meeting other others I noticed they lived similarly - and they were suffering for it. They needed to begin to understand the connection between lies and heart coherence, as it related to their outer world. Once they would identify those difficult truths and cut important ties, their lives would change - and they did.
But there will always be a new level of understanding - and God will require that we deepen our understanding and execute such. Complacency and laziness, especially as we age, is LETHAL. It is why some people shine and other people wilt.
Heart coherence requires that we are constantly addressing and refining our truth through various means in both scientific and spiritual contexts. And at a certain point, which opposes the way I began (which was just with my downloaded “knowing”), God will bring in new levels of data which mirror what we know on a soul level but articulate it with human language for the first time. This brings me to my conversion process.
I appreciate learning from the inside out - first using my God given tools, and only expanding upon them once I’ve exhausted everything in my intrinsic arsenal. Right or wrong in the context of religion, this is how I approached my life and work prior to converting to Catholicism. And yet the simple and base understanding of heart coherence never changed…it just improved - became refined.
Nothing is stronger than truth. Truth is the ultimate light. It is the ultimate healer. Truth is God. So obviously the further away from it we move, the sicker we become. Moving away from truth is the opposite of heart coherence, and it is nothing that intellect can rationalize or disguise…yet many try.
How do we know when we have moved out of heart coherence? Well we know we are doing so when we are avoiding truth…yet often our defense mechanisms are so strong that the lies feel like blankets. In this space we are infected, unprotected. We may unconsciously believe that the lie is safer than the truth, no matter how ugly the truth…but this is impossible - for ALL truth brought to light, loses power. Hence, confession in the Catholic Church.
Clients have shared with me some of the ugliest truths you could imagine. And in those watershed moments they were liberated. Their lives subsequently improved overnight. There was no more cancer weighing them down. Some truths were about themselves and terrible things they’d done, other truths were about the evils of those around them - very often those were truths they’d only seen and admitted for the first time, with me and to me in my office. All the same, they were set free.
Heart Coherence will protect you by liberating you from lies - the lies you tell yourself and others, and the lies told to you by others. It is true that “only God knows our heart” - but this doesn’t mean what people try to make it mean under the convenient Christian code. What it means is, God knows our TRUTH. For truth IS the heart. How honest we are willing to be, with ourselves and others, IS our ultimate value - our truth and our Heart Coherence.
Once activated, Heart Coherence can change our life in an instant. But we have to be willing to be honest, and this can mean many uncomfortable things: namely, being alone.
Activating your Heart Coherence requires the ultimate surrender and it is the ultimate test of our faith and intelligence (even if you are atheist/don’t believe in a religious God). Too often people are more content lying to themselves and these lies of course are reinforced by those closest to them who’ve been in on the lies since the beginning: family and caretakers. They may have started with “a good heart” or what they purport to be “kind” - but if they are perpetuating lies, they are anything but … for every year a lie sustains within them, they are required to commit worse and worse acts, against themselves and others in the external world. Because that’s how it works. They lose their favor with God, even if they put on a good external show. And it’s all rooted in lies.
The greatest risk of all is required to activate Heart Coherence: being alone (without. man). Separate from family and friends, and the lies they need to perpetuate in order to keep surviving - often at your great cost. And if you don’t understand why or how THAT works, then you need to learn about spiritual relativity and why “bad people appear to win”.
Heart Coherence will protect you, but it is not some nebulous notion. It’s more than a virtue, it’s a constant risk. And in confronting your greatest fear which is also everyone’s, being alone, you will find your greatest protection.
