Someone sent me this story today. I have seen it before and perhaps you have as well, but I thought it was worth sharing as another way to think about heart coherence. ...

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son,
The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment
Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather,

"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Practicing heart coherence is one method for "feeding" the Good wolf.

Just take some time everyday to feed it by:

- soaking in heart coherence for a few minutes

- noting events you are grateful for -- no matter how mundane

- noting people or qualities of people around you that you are grateful for - no matter how "small"

- recall positive qualities about someone you need to have a difficult talk with or with whom you are annoyed

- recall 3 positive things in your day to be grateful for and why you are; be specific and make them different every day

- if you have trouble finding the three things, identify a "negative" then create a rationale for why it is really positive - flip it around

Do you have other ideas? Please share....
