Sheva had all that she wanted in life except happiness. After pouring over self-help books and trying to fill the void with food, she found a practice called Heart Math that changed her life in a heartbeat.
Sheva's Story
"I was in total despair. I wanted to die."
I was eating boxes and boxes of chocolates and Saltines and blowing up like a Stay-Puft Marshmallow. I had everything, but I always felt lack. I had ballet lessons, and I had whatever clothing I wanted. Our cupboards were always bursting and all the neighborhood kids would come over to our place and eat. But I was absolutely hopeless.
"I knew there was way more to life than having a flat stomach and getting straight A's."
For a few months I laid on my parents couch reading every self help book under the sun. I thought my feelings were something that happened to me, I didn't realize my feelings were something I was choosing. I had to change my emotional attitude and perception.
"I discovered a concept called Heart Math while I was transcribing lectures."
Heart Math is really, in the simplest sense, the power of appreciation. Even if you can just appreciate that you have all your finger nails, and if you don't have all your finger nails, you can appreciate that you have all your fingers. It is actually what happens to your own heart beat when you shift your state -- that ends up shifting a cascade of 14,000 different things in your body. It shifts your immune system, it shifts your digestive system, everything changes -- in a heart beat.
Those tools taught me how to transform my despair and my story. I was really dropping my story about myself. You know, the heart is a muscle, so what I have is a really strong muscle.
