The Heart of Healing

The other heart

There’s more to the heart than the organ that pumps your blood. You also have an electrical field in the center of your chest that expands and contracts in response to the world around you. Imagine the aperture of a camera or the pupil of your eye. When we open this doorway (even a crack), we can tap into an endless source of nourishment, wisdom, and Love.

Tight in the bud

Many of us unconsciously clench up and close off parts of our hearts in an attempt to protect ourselves. This common habit makes us more susceptible to limiting beliefs, and it prevents us from living up to our full potential. Keeping our hearts tightly guarded can also lead to anxiety, overwhelm, depletion, loneliness, and all sorts of emotional and physical discomfort.

Unveiling the heart

Fortunately, we can gently open our hearts to health and happiness again—no matter how long we’ve been on guard. This kind of heart-opening doesn’t make you more vulnerable to getting hurt. It can actually protect you and make stressful experiences much easier to manage. It can also help you feel more ease, clarity, resiliency, and a deeper sense of belonging. Now, that’s worth opening up to!

A little background

This heart-healing work is based upon a system called Whole Heart Connection, created by Thea Elijah, LAc. I’ve had the honor of studying with Thea for over 15 years and assisting her in classes for over a decade. I’m also a certified chaplain with an emphasis on tending the heart. These practices draw primarily from Sufism, but are universal and relatable—regardless of your spiritual beliefs.

What folks are saying…

I always feel seen, understood and accepted by Sharon. She’s helped me see that my inner struggles are not personal shortcomings and may in fact be gifts that add to the richness of life. I feel such peace and ease at the end of our time together. Her support has allowed me to shift toward more patience, self-acceptance and open-heartedness. Sharon is a gifted teacher and advisor and I’m grateful to know her.

Sharon has a wonderfully nurturing, calm, healing presence that made me feel safe and deeply held.

Sharon’s presence is very soothing and supportive. I feel more grounded after our sessions and the exercises are helpful for regaining a good perspective on my life situation, as well as nurturing the innate healing potential of my body and soul.
