Heartbeat Dialog Exercises
HEARTBEAT DIALOGUE EXERCISES
The Heartbeat Dialogue is used to explore our intuition by conversing directly with our heartbeat region. It can be helpful in shifting stuck beliefs and emotional states as well as assist in gaining emotional insight. The Heartbeat Dialogue employs:
*The heartbeat region, held to be a second brain and a subcortical area rich with intuitive connections.
*Three sets of dialogue exercise questions.
*The use of "whispering" to ensure our unconscious is fully involved in the process.
*Left nasal dominance breathing to prime our unconscious processes.
***Warning: This process is not to be used by persons with a history mental illness, severe trauma, or panic. Those challenges are best handled while working with a therapist. You are only permitted to use this process if you agree to absolve Steve Mensing, Emoclear.com, the webmasters, and the web host of any responsibility for the application or misapplication of this process. With any emotional process someone may experience discomfort.***

THE HEARTBEAT DIALOGUE EXERCISES
Here are steps to for performing the HeartBeat Dialogue Exercises:
(1) LEFT NASAL DOMINANCE BREATHWORK, HEARTBEAT REGION HOLD, AND FEEL A FEELING WHILE LAYING THE OPPOSITE PALM ON IT. Perform left nasal dominance breathwork while you place your right palm on your heartbeat region and your opposite palm on your feeling, emotion, or physical sensations.
To perform left nasal dominace breathwork gently pinch your right nostril shut and breathe through your left nostril only for the required 21 inhalations and exhalations. Inhale comfortably and fully though your left nostril only. When the last last left-nasal dominance breath is completed, then return to normal breathing Tune into a feeling you have about an event, yourself, or someone/a group. Fully feel the feeling and allow it to be there without attempting to get rid of it or keep it. (You may heighten your experience of the event, yourself, or someone else by using all 5 of your senses in recalling the event, yourself, or someone else. Hear, see, feel, smell or taste.)
(2) WHISPER YOUR QUESTIONS TO YOUR HEARTBEAT REGION. Whisper the Heartbeat Dialogue questions to your heartbeat region while placing one palm on your heartbeat region and the other palm on your feeling. Let your answer come from your heartbeat region. Let your heartbeat region answer. Do not think your answer--intuit your answer. After you respond, feel your feeling each time, before returning your attention to your heartbeat.
Exercise I Heartbeat Dialogue questions:
*What can you tell me about me, others, the world around me?
*What best I do?
*What do you want for me?
*Is there anything else I better know?
Exercise II Heartbeat Dialogue questions:
*Ask your heartbeat or feeling: "What do you want more than anything else?" [Your intuitive reply may come as an image, a feeling in your body, or something you hear].
*After you receive an intuitive reply, ask your heartbeat or feeling: "What do you want even more than that?"
*After you get an intuitive reply, can you ask your heartbeat or feeling: "What do you want more than that?"
*Keep repeating these questions and responding intuitively to them. At a certain point your thinking will seize up and you will experience essence. You will note the feelings you originally experienced transformed into its essense opposite. Typically you may experience: Love, power, serenity, wholeness, completeness, or unity.
Exercise III Heartbeat Dialogue questions:
*Intutively create a metaphoric symbol in your heartbeat region. Allow your unconscious to create this symbol--do not think it into being. (See the Metaphor Runner for more detailed instructions on how to intuitively create a metaphor as opposed to thinking one up). Pay attention to this intutitive metaphoric symbol as it appears in the heartbeat area. Ask it any questions that occur to you. When you're done, observe the symbol until it dissolves.
*A miracle happened overnight while you were sleeping and you awoke two years in the future. Upon awakening you fully and completely accepted your circumstances. How would you feel? What good things would you notice first? How would your mood be up? How much more energized would you feel? Who would you tell first about this miracle? Or would you keep it to yourself and just enjoy the moment?
Have fun, Steve
