The seventh episode of our new podcast series – “Our Spiritual Heart” is now available! Listen to “The Benefits of an Open Heart” using the player below or on Spotify! Co-hosted by Kelsey Anderson and Kathy Grant, psychologist Ed Rubenstein, Ph.D. will be discussing, among other topics, the many benefits of allowing our spiritual heart to open and living a heart-centered life. Learning to open our spiritual heart is not about perfecting or mastering a technique; it is about the sweet and profound relationship with the Source of who we truly are. The all important question: How long will be stay separated before we let the Love of True Source bring us back to an open heart state?
True heart Feelings are connected to the state of our heart, not our mind
In Ed’s role as a Ph.D. level psychologist, he spent many years diligently teaching numerous mind-body interventions and mind based meditation approaches in a variety of clinical settings; and as he discusses, he was very committed to sharing these approaches. However, nearly 25 years ago, he realized through his own heart-felt experiences that these mind based methods were limited and that our heart was the missing ingredient to address and access the spiritual dimension of our lives. In this episode, Dr. Ed also discusses the difference between emotions and true heart feelings. He explains that emotions are connected to our state of mind, and in contrast, true heart feelings are connected to the state of our heart, which is directly impacted by our willingness to let the the Love of True Source to fill our heart. Living with an open heart gets us out of our self-centered tendencies and allows us to be more authentic and genuine as well as find meaning, purpose and connection in humanity, nature, and with the Source of our true selves.
