There is much evidence (heartmath.org) that our hearts create a field around us that effects others. This field is tranformative. I have experienced radical change in my students with autism when I spoke/listened to them while my attention stayed in the heart. When one's attention is in the heart, you become present and when you try this (attention in heart, while listening), it may be the FIRST time ever that you are truly listening and present with your child

Love this! Thank you. What would happen? I don't know but I'm working on it,,,I'll keep you posted. So far so SPECTACULAR, less stress, staying present, positive, out of the box thinking, seeing everything for the first time over and over in a wonderful way.
How easy it is to forget....that is part of the practice...remembering to return repeatedly. Eventually one does not even have to remember....the flip happens and we become heart-centered.
You get it Sonrisemom30! Imagine what schools would be like if all of the teachers, admin., staff lived from the heart...Wow. This is where are current problems lie, the heart does not even exist for so many but then again many are now finding it once again. It's like a sleeping giant.
Come join us at the "Why is it Easy to be One" facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/WhyIsItEasyToBeOne You are already doing the practice. In my opinion, this is what the epidemic of autism is all about....turning us back to our hearts.
Wow. Well, I want to come clean and show everyone how true what you are saying is....I only ever read your question. I didn't read the paragraph below it. I really thought you were just posing the question. If I had elaborated I would have said that from the moment I stopped rushing around the house, trying to do too much, losing focus, feeling depleted, useless, afraid, and out of balance..way off center...I saw our lives change. My husband and I are both able to be home all day with Jama and so he has our attention. It he has it, in a way that is very much from the heart. I am locked in with him for hours a day. In fact, he lets me know when he wants to be by himself. Jama spends hours in nature, outside at the beach or pool daily, and he is so free, so alive, and so happy in these places. But he is just as happy when with me and a book. What matters is the love. The moment. Not missing a thing.
So then I went back and read your paragraph and realized that you do this at 1pm every day and you have a son who is autistic, and you wrote..."Let's get Started...stop fighting..and develop the heart!". I was moved to happy tears. Thank you. I have done as you suggest. Slowing down and living life as if one long, slow,meditation is how I have been thinking of this and I have tried to get even deeper. It is a beautiful thing to have those moments you know you would have missed trying to live outside your heart. It's all there. Listen and learn and grow together. I am so grateful for your post. "1 o'clock" it is!
My new favorite quote...Look deep into nature and you will understand everything. ~Einstein
What are human beings if not nature?
@A MyAutismTeam Member Oh yeah.....great to hear it. Check out www.heartmath.org to find out more about heart coherence. They have a biofeedback device called the emwave which one uses to create heart coherence. I am using it with my son and we have a few YouTube videos about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WmJeizJYb4 .
I have some insight into how this device could very well change the lives of our kids on the spectrum. The video also explains some of 1:00 stuff. Also check out http://www.facebook.com/WhyIsItEasyToBeOne for more info regarding the heart.
If there is enough people in the world doing this heart coherence activity, our collective minds will change towards what you said...Less stress, staying present, positive, out of the box thinking, seeing everything for the first time.....sounds exactly like what the world needs.
Have fun with it!! Knowing that friends and family are doing this at the same time allows me to make a conscious connection to my loved ones daily. Cool stuff....Thanks for the feedback.....Made My Day!!
@A MyAutismTeam Member The reason behind 1:00 is that there is a "group" effect. There are studies regarding groups meditating at the same time and violence stops and there is a general happiness which overtakes people. We actually start to create a powerful field. Are you in? Takes 1-2 minutes and that minute can have a powerful effect on the rest of the day.
This is also a very powerful exercise just before an IEP meeting.
