Box 8036 Northfield, IL 60093 E-mail mailto:[email protected] Foreword Heart disease is the number one killer in the States, claiming the lives of 2600 people every day. Heart attacks cause one death in every 33 seconds, one/sixth of the victims is below the age of 65. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer of women as well as men claiming more than half a million female lives every year. We all must take steps to reduce the risk. To take care of your Heart, the best thing you can do is to be fully informed, fully involved and fully responsible. It is not healthy for you to feel at the mercy of your doctors. Your doctors are doing their best but they can not heal your Heart for you. You yourself must make the decision as to how you will handle your health. There is wisdom inside you that has more profound healing power than all the doctors put together. To me, the real point of medicine lies on focusing on what is positive to make life happier and longer and not necessarily on how to escape death which is an unavoidable reality for us all. According to physicians in cardiology literature there are a number of conditions that predispose one to hardening of the arteries which is the major element responsible for heart attacks. This includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, diabetes, obesity and stress. It has been my experience that the emotional stress is also very important in determining the risk of coronary disease and heart attacks. I believe that more than half of all our problems, both emotional and physical, come from the same source...from one cause, a cause with many roots and that cause is stress. Stress affects your Heart, and your life. Unless you learn to control stress, it can control you.. What exactly is stress? It is the way the mind and body adapt to change. One reason that stress of any sort is so hard on your body and mind is that it takes away our sense of control over ourselves and our environment which is one of the most basic human needs. Several studies have shown a strong association between stress-related emotions such as hostility and anger and coronary disease. In medical students followed for 25 years, the higher the hostility’s core, the higher the incidence of heart attacks and mortality. “The Heart never attacks itself... it is the source of life” Dr. Bruno Cortis An old Latin proverb says “Mensa sana, in corpore sano” which means healthy mind in a healthy body,. The body and mind are intrinsically connected and mutually conditioned and health is the product of a healthy mind, body and Spirit. Therefore, a more holistic approach to the care of the individual would attend to the needs of the body as well as the quests of the Spirit. How can health be without spirituality? Can the body live without the soul that makes it? The Spiritual powers within far surpass any others and transcend it. The medicine of the future will be more human, spiritual and love oriented, the real medicine is the medicine of the whole person. When I began the practice of holistic medicine, I was in search of teachers, of colleagues with whom to relate; I imagine that patients go through the same struggle in search of holistic guidance. Now the work of Susan M. Castle and her wonderful tapes and book fills that gap. This book and her tapes provide all the information necessary for you on how you can relate to others and trust, how to listen to your Heart and how to express your feelings. Valuable tools for self-assessment. Susan’s tapes will provide you with a key to critical lifestyle changes and to a more Spiritual dimension of health. There are may paths to get to that sublime part of one’s self, the Spirit. Affirmation, relaxation and prayer provide all a way to get more in touch with your Spiritual Self. As you practice each, you are putting your subconscious mind to work, It is like creating a street where you can walk straight and confidently. At the end will be positive results. By experiencing Susan’s Heart work, you will learn the benefits of quieting your mind, and how to breathe, but most of all how to open your Heart to love. As your mind progressively conquers through self-awareness and meditation, your Heart achieves self-healing in the newly found harmony of Mind, Body and Spirit.

The Journey Into Your Heart Secret #1 Making the journey from your Head to your Heart “The longest journey you will ever make in your life is from your head to your Heart” Gary Zukav The Heart is the Essence of Abundance The Heart is an infinite source of Intelligence. Many people think that the mind is the most powerful source within us. We've been led to believe that the mind is responsible for most of our knowledge and wisdom. When in fact, your Heart is much more powerful than your brain, 5,000 times more powerful. In fact, during the beginning developmental phase of life, within the first few weeks in the womb, the Human Heart is the first to register any signs of Life. It begins to pulsate a rhythmic beat much earlier than the brain demonstrates any activity. The electromagnetic energy of the Heart has been described as a creative, connective energy that seems to hold everything together. The life force that flows through the Heart is the strongest connecting energy in the entire Universe. This life force energy, strong and constant, functions to allow the Heart to pump nutrients to the body and Spiritual energy to nourish the Soul. INFINITE INTELLIGENCE IS WITHIN ALL OF US There is a magnificent Wisdom within each one of us, an infinite intelligence, that knows just what to do, when to do it and even how to do it. This infinite intelligence takes care of us, guides us and flows through our entire being. A Wisdom So True It Will Never Fail You You have, deep within you, a place where your inner Wisdom flows in abundance. A Wisdom so true that it will never fail you. A Wisdom that knows how to return your body to its natural state of balance and inner peace in any given moment. This Wisdom is found within your Heart. CAN YOU FEEL IT? Whenever you find yourself feeling confused, frustrated, stressed... afraid, lonely, unloved or uncertain... you've temporarily lost your connection to your Heart. You've become focused on the problems or stresses in your life and have struggled to find a way out through your mind. We gravitate toward our thinking mind to give us the answers and guide us to resolve our problems. What we don't always realize is that we are leading ourselves down the path of greater resistance when we attempt to resolve our challenges with the mind only. Bring your Heart's Wisdom into your problem solving and it will make for an easier more creative solution... one with no resistance. We need to reconnect to our wise Heart... the Home of Infinite Intelligence. Bring your Heart's Intelligence into your everyday life and watch your life transform. As one sageful man writes: "... the real problem is that our brain is thinking so hard that we can't hear our Heart think... tuning into my Heart reminds me to lead life and not be led by it" Dr. Paul Pearsall
