All the topics below will be covered. For more explanation, see the contents below and feel to call or email me with any questions you may have. This workshop is based on the practices in the "Sharing Heart to the Public" program, based on the exercises from Irmansyah Effendi book "Smile to Your Heart, a Simple Meditation for Peace, Health, & Spiritual Growth." Kurt Valle is certified to teach this class as outlined by the Open Heart Workshop Committee. We Are Meant to be Happy •It is the original and true intention in life •Many of us fail despite worldly successes and social relationships we seem to slip back to a lower plane, a place of wanting, again and again. •Nobody has found a complete and enduring answer, perhaps because itÂÂ's been to close to see .. We Are Meant to be Happy •The answer, the truth, is our heart. •Not the physical heart, but the spiritual heart •Follow your heart as the heart knows the truth •In opening and using our heart, weÂÂ're blessed with a lasting peace, and happiness we can feel-actually and really feel-as we go about our daily lives. Once we begin to trust our heart instead of our head to make better decisions, to enjoy life experiences, and to heal our mind and body, and we begin to find effortless happiness in what we do everyday. Who is it for? •This learning is valuable for everyone, including those who have no background whatsoever in heart training or meditation. The steps are actually quite simple and natural. Being guided by your feeling as you begin to practice, you will slowly move away from old habits that have led to struggle and frustration--to the beautiful ease of allowing your heart to lead you. What to expect? •It is a joy to share with you, not only information about the heart, but also simple and effective exercises to help open and strengthen your heart further. These are based on the instruction of Irmansyah EffendiÂÂ's book ÂÂ"Smile to your Heart, A simple Meditation for Peace, Health & Spiritual Growth.ÂÂ" New Language •I will be using new terms such as Open Heart, and True Source. As not to produce any confusion, I will explain these terms and it is my hope that you can use these terms quite comfortably, as I have become accustomed to feeling.
