HeartMath™ Can Help You

If you are looking for new techniques to deal with your current problems then HeartMath techniques could be for you. Learn to calm your frustration and grow the amount of time you feel content.

HeartMath is a system of simple and powerful self-regulation techniques which are easy to learn and designed to be used “in the moment”, whatever the situation, meaning that you can bring your best self to your professional, social and personal lives. To me HeartMath science proves that it is more important to listen to my heart than my head when making decisions. The heart is the first organ formed in the body even before the brain. HeartMath reminds everyone that the heart’s wisdom is necessary to have a meaningful life.

Stephanie became a Certified HeartMath Mentor to be able to bring HeartMath’s “in the moment” self-regulation techniques to the people of the Cowichan Valley. Being able to regulate your emotions with breathing techniques and activating the power of your wise intuitive heart increases your chances of being truly content.

Being able to communicate in a calm and clear manner in times of stress allows you to share your concerns in ways the people in your life can hear. HeartMath helps you to be able to breathe appreciation, love and compassion into your everyday situations which creates in your heart a feeling of emotional mastery.

Allowing yourself to believe there is another way to cope with your issues is the first step to having new answers to your old problems. Changing your perspectives with new ideas encourages you to experience your obstacles with a feeling of courage and hope.

In this HeartMath group we will practice time tested techniques in a supportive atmosphere. What is shared in the group stays in the group. You are welcome to join the group anytime in the 13 weeks of the group. I would be happy to connect with you on a one on one to catch you up on the techniques you missed.

The three groups will be held in Stephanie’s home at lovely Fuller Lake. Every Wednesday & one on Thursday in September - November of 2021. Fee $15.00 each or $150 for whole session. Call 250-732-4599 or email happinessishealthy@gmail.com.

100 Debates - AllCandidates Debate on the Climate & the Environment

Hear what our local federal candidates have to say about action on the climate crisis and the environment. This event has a simple mission: to make the environment an issue that no party and no candidate can ignore by organizing nonpartisan, all-candidates in debates on the environment in ridings across Canada. In October 2019, was the first 100 Debates. Local community organizers held 104 candidates debates launching a nationwide conversation that brought climate change and policy to the forefront of the election, fostered environmental leadership, and accountability in federal politics. Local United Churches in the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding are the non-partisan hosts of this Oonline All-Candidates - part of the Canada-wide “100 Debates on the Environment” happening in 100 or more ridings across the country. September 8th, 7 – 9:30pm – via Zoom and FB live Registrations open at: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/100debates-on-climate-environmentin-cowichan-malahat-langfordriding-tickets-168329146007
