Opening Up to the Gifts in Your Cardiac Crisis

Twelve Wisdoms to a Healthy Heart (http://www.12wisdomstoahealthyheart.com/)
Gifts Brought by the Challenges to Your Heart
Adversities and life challenges can be viewed as burdens and liabilities, or as gifts and opportunities. A heart attack or diagnosis of heart disease presents you with a dramatic wakeup call. Dr. Patrick Porter and I (Dr. Michael Irving) are convinced in their hearts that you too can be one of those who discover the gift in a cardiac challenge is its motivation for you to become a totally different person.

Your heart disease likely started early in childhood with slowly increasing damage and the forming of bad lifestyle habits.

With a comprehensive program, http://www.12wisdomstoahealthyheart.com/, Dr. Porter and I assist you to open your mind and heart through a powerful guided visualization process that uses light and sound technology to enhance learning and reframing belief systems to bring about dramatic life changes. Our visualization sessions, e-books, daily planning forms, newsletters, blogs, chat rooms and other resources help you define and be motivated to follow through on important initial heart felt resolutions and changes that you will need to stick with for the rest of your years.

Our goal is to assist you to live a vibrant, vital and well heart healthy life that you deserve and can expect. A cardiac challenge can open your heart and passions to make you feel better about being alive and greatly increase your appreciation of others. We know you can allow your cardiac crisis to deepen your sense of commitment that there are many reasons for you to fight to stay alive.

Self reflection will be a valuable component of moving forward to create a healthy heart lifestyle. Inside your heart are the reasons for embracing the life and people around you. Every day, in little moments and special periods that you set aside, find time to explore meaning, purpose and motivations that are found in the gift of your heart crisis.
