Thoughts (A Poem)

It's been some time since I've put "ink to paper" in an effort to produce a work of poetry.  I stumbled on this piece which I began probably a decade or so ago and thought I'd put some finishing touches on it and share it with you!

It's simply called...




Thoughts 

Fleeting thoughts and luminous notions all beget the wisdom of thy soul.
Reluctance of these would thwart thy grace
An act to those would appease.

If but I listen to my inner tone
Resonate throughout my being,
I will question not, a single thought
But add it to the tapestry.

Exultation over recognition
Tho brief it may be.
But like the flower, which endures deviation
The blossom will return to thee.

These thoughts but seeds in an omnipresent realm, subtle and profound
Unfolding into awareness
Only to enfold to ground.

But since the seeds of knowledge are planted
Emerge again they will.
If only we ask for that seed to sprout,
Our thoughts will hold us still.

Sacred splendor of reflection
Perennial wisdom appears yet again.
Tho slight in their brilliant manifestation
But a whisper in thy ear

A thought, deemed created by the thinker of himself
How mistaken he must be
As all idea has an infinite dwelling
Only occasioned by the soul

Despite the thought’s ephemeral movement in the consciousness of man
How refreshing to know being linked to the soul
That thoughts are always at hand.

Learn the "Quick Coherence Technique" for Optimal Well-Being

During a discussion with the executive vice president of Heartmath, Howard Martin, I learned of a brief process whereby anyone can regulate emotions by synchronizing heart and brain to achieve a more balanced and preferred state of being.

It's called the Quick Coherence Technique.

It consists of three simple steps:

Step One: Heart Focus
Step Two: Heart Focused Breathing
Step Three: Heart Feeling.

I invite you to listen to the process delivered by Howard and try it for yourself to experience a more relaxed state, peace of mind and positive emotional stability.

Conversations from the Heart - An Interview with HeartMath's Howard Martin exclusively on Conscious Inquiry Radio with Alexis Brooks


Howard052207154rt“All I want to do is bring out the greatness in great people – and that’s what I want to do for you.”  It was that phrase that Doc Childre, the founder of HeartMath told Howard Martin that has led to a 40 year journey of learning and leading others in an extraordinary understanding of the intelligence of the heart.
Together, Doc Childre and Howard Martin embarked on uncharted territory, delving deep into the quest to comprehend the vast spectrum of human and spiritual life and even consciousness itself.  This brave exploration eventually led to the founding of HeartMath, a cutting edge research and development organization providing unique tools to boost performance, productivity, health and well being.
In this interview with the executive vice president of HeartMath, Howard Martin shares his very personal story about how his meeting Doc Childre, literally took his life in an unexpected direction.  This is the first time he’s ever shared this story publically.
We also discuss life after 2012 and the acceleration of change, the practical application of intuition, and of course the incredible work that HeartMath has done to bring about an evolutionary change in understanding the expanded role that the heart plays in our lives.
This interview was conducted on site in Los Angeles at the Conscious Life Expo in February of 2013.
