During this pandemic, it is easy to forget how resilient we are.

iheart’s message is that resilience and wellbeing is innate and always accessible – no matter what

***This is a one off offering to children & parents***

iheart addresses the mental health crisis facing our youth through the implementation of key principles that educate young people on the workings of our psychological system. This approach focuses on three unique differentiators:

1) PREVENTION (as opposed
to crisis intervention);
2) MENTAL WELLNESS (as opposed to mental illness);
3) EDUCATION (as opposed to raising awareness and acute treatment).

DM or email [email protected] to enrol or for further information.

*** our young people need support NOW, more than ever *** in facing challenges such as bullying/anxiety/social media/self-worth/school

As I am listening to this amazing conversation and realise, I’m white knuckle riding life right now...believing i’m the one in control🙈
✨
Our brains are not just label makers, they are story tellers too…It is very busy, making sense of what it sees “out there”…it looks for past examples and even tries to make sense of how the stories play out in “non existing” futures.

This machine in our heads job is to tell us basically that it has got everything under control…so of course we listen to it, of course where up at 2am in the morning listening to it…when we don’t believe there is a bigger guide called “wisdom” living us

We would not be here today if we didn’t have “wisdom” living us!

Good morning Lost in Thought community🤗

I was inspired by this topic after realising how much insecurity I am experiencing in my life right now...and how it looks so real to me, giving the thinking I am have having lately😔

Of course...if our experience is bought to life through our psychological systems via “thinking” then what I am thinking in that moment I will experience as my feelings. The more I attach to that thinking (believing it to be true) the more intense the feelings will be...

Fear, insecurities, frustration, lack of motivation etc

So, if I am experiencing these emotions then it looks to me like that’s my reality, right? that’s all that’s available...i’m stuck in that!

But what is truly amazing about our psychological systems is we can reset at any time through “insight”...yes, just like a computer 💻 has a “reset” button so too do we. As soon as we have an insight/realisation then our level of consciousness rises and we see thinks differently...
..breaking attachments and dissolving unhelpful thinking

Creating a new reality, we are never stuck, it’s just the illusion that we are!

How many times have you felt stuck in your life? looking back, notice how many times you have become unstuck...that unstuckness is a rise in consciousness. That makes way for our innate wellbeing to shine through. It’s available to everyone, it’s innate☺️

When our minds settle and we rest in wellbeing, we access our innate wisdom and find our way out of the situations we once seemed to be stuck in, freeing us of that sense heaviness and mind fullness

Happiness is one thought away ~ (Syd Banks)

Have a wonderful weekend ❤️

When we believe our well-being is dependant on something outside of ourselves, we will form an attachment to that “thing” and believe we can only be happy when it is available to us!

For further information please send a DM and we will be happy to give you further details

Had my own insight around this today☺️
✨
I have been putting off and avoiding doing a certain task for almost 2 weeks now
✨
I woke with it playing on my mind this morning...
✨..it hit me
✨
I am so attached to the outcome of not wanting to mess it up🙈
✨
I can see how I have used procrastination as a way of avoidance to keep me safe and avoid feeling the feelings of dissatisfaction and disappointment
✨
Wow, such a huge insight for me
✨
Would love to hear some of your insight around this “the presenting problem is not always the real problem”

- love this post [email protected] with

Feelings make us human. And letting yourself feel is the very best you can do for yourself and for others. To bring the best in you, you gotta observe, absorb and absolve every emotion, every thought that runs inside your mind.

It won't make you weak, it will make you potent 😌

“Sustainable Change doesn’t happen through doing...it happens through being”
▫️
We are part of nature, not APART from it...just like nature is ever changing we are too!

🧠

“ the answers to those problems will not be seen at the same level of thinking and understanding from which they were created” ~ Albert Einstein

When you aren't distracted by your own negative thinking, when you don't allow yourself to get lost in moments that are gone or yet to come, you are left with this moment. This moment-now-truly is the only moment you have ~ Sydney Banks

Things are always so much easier when you have the instructions
✨
Life is no different...when you understand our own “Psychological System” life is so much easier to navigate!

We can never really loose happiness in the first place...it is inbuilt, innate in all of use
✨
It just gets covered up by contaminated thinking
✨
Just like the sun ☀️ is always in the sky, even when it’s covered by the clouds ⛅️

Expectation = unhappiness
✨
When we expect things to be a certain way, and it doesn’t show up that way...The type of feelings we gonna experience are, disappointment, unhappiness, victims
✨
Accept what is☺️

when we spend too much time dwelling on the past, or time travelling into the future...we cause ourselves unnecessary suffering
✨

Often, we fail to accept what has happed, happening or going to happen with us. So, we start to think too much about the “circumstance” and make ourselves unhappy.
✨
When we rest is the “now” that suffering ends🙏🏻

When you are touched by this understanding, that we are the “principles in motion” the implications are magnificent...creating change in our own state of mind and level of understanding that allows us to see life through “new” eyes.

“From the tiniest atom to the greatest mountain on earth, all life is one infinite ball of pulsating consciousness.” ~ Sydney Banks

I was so reminded of this, on my journey to work this morning
✨
After ranting at the TV during a Covid-19 debate, I do not watch news, but hubby was watching!
✨
I was totally distracted by what’s wrong with the world...and guess what? I found more of it, things that annoyed me
✨
Then BOOM bought back to the natural beauty all around me
✨
My journal takes me on beautiful back roads with fields & horses...the sun was coming up and early morning mist covered fields in such a beautiful magical scene
✨
Then my reality changed and I started to see beauty instead of annoyance🙏🏻
✨
Moral of the story...what ever we seek, we will find

Gratitude is a deep feeling that connects us to our true Self where wisdom is stored. This deep feeling releases insights, which helps us evolve and move forward on our inner journey ~ Elsie Spittle (Nuggets of Wisdom 11)

“It is the now that takes you from living in the darkness of yesterday’s negative memories and turns the darkness into light. Remember, my friend, darkness cannot survive in the midst of light snd living in the now is that light.” ~ Sydney Banks

No one...no thing has the power to put a feeling inside of you
✨
The power lies with YOU!

When we drop out of personal thinking💭 and slow down to the speed of life we experience beautiful implications...seeing more deeply, experiencing our innate peace of mind, connection and compassion! We have a whole new experience of the exact same world ☺️

“Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.” ~Eckhart Tolle
Do you worry about how many negative thoughts you have?
✨
We are led to believe that negative thoughts are bad, we should get rid of them!
✨
We believe...in order to feel happy, we should clear our minds of negative thoughts
✨
So what do we do with all that negative noise in our head...How do we make it stop? how do we swap negative thought for a more positive one?
✨
Most people misunderstand negative thinking because they do not understand where our thoughts come from in the first place!
✨
Peace of mind does not depend on how few negative thoughts you have
✨
It’s in the understanding of how our mind truly works
✨
Peace of mind, resilience, love, compassion are built into our phyche...it’s our natural state, when we do not label, attach or judge thoughts💭 they are neither negative or positive...thought is a divine gift
✨
When we see that it is our own interpretation of reality through the power of thought, we can have any experience we choose🙏🏻
✨
If we believe the power is “out there” and not our own interpretations then we will be a victim of circumstances, believing that external things have the power to put feelings “inside” of us! and not out thinking about it...

📌What do we teach (in a nutshell)?

An overarching question of enquiry underpins the iheart Curriculum:

❔Do you think someone, or something, is putting a feeling in you?

The answer to this question, either ‘yes’ or ‘no’, acts as a compass, informing us if we are on or off track and reconnects us with our and .

Based on this enquiry, the iheart Curriculum teaches:

Based on this enquiry, the iheart Curriculum teaches:

☑️What is innate/built-into our psychological system
☑️ Why we think, feel and behave the way we do
☑️Why and how our wellbeing gets covered up and uncovered again
☑️ How our built-in compass helps us return to our wellbeing

When intellectual thought is quiet for a moment, wisdom shines through and reveals our true inner identity. The intellect asks “why” - wisdom knows “why”. ~ Elsie Spittle

our feeling never let us down...they inform us we are “off track” or “on track”💫

No caption needed 🙏🏻

So I had my own experience of this yesterday!
✨
Growing up I was always terrified of the dentist and hated needles, the thought of a needle paralysed me with fear
✨
I made an appointment for the dentist a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t have any thinking about it at the time
✨
I suddenly realised on the morning just before my appointment that I had forgotten about being so scared 😦
✨
I don’t know when I lost this fear🤷‍♀️ but it’s clear that now my thinking about it has changed, so too did the experience of my visit 💥
✨
Just as a side note...I didn’t have to do a thing, no talking myself down, no thinking positive (it will be ok)...not a thing😃
✨
That’s the power of understanding how the mind really works...things just begin to fall away
✨

“insight” a sight from within...understanding of your own mind is the path to create opportunities to see things differently”
