Emotional Referral Zone 4

The fourth ERZ contains the powerhouse of the human energy system. From its middle position, the fourth zone mediates between the body and spirit, and determines their health, strength, and balance. It is the heart center of the body. This ERZ is the keeper of the power of forgiveness and rules the process of transformation. The heart center regulates all issues pertaining to emotions related to love and hatred. It also governs the spiritual challenge of forgiving oneself.

There are six steps in empowering the heart and learning forgiveness:

1. Commit yourself to healing all the way to the source of the pain (heart).
2. Identify your wounds and establish meaning to each.
3. Identify how your wounds influence you.
4. Identify the good that has and can come from your wounds. Start living in the present moment,within the consciousness of appreciation and gratitude.
5. Forgive. Evaluate what you need to do to forgive. Identify what you are forgiving. Release thenegative influence of your wounds.
6. Think love and continue living appreciation and gratitude. Invite change into your life.

Point Of Focus: Love is Divine Power

Although intelligence or “mental energy” is generally considered superior to emotional energy, emotional energy is actually the true motivator of the human body and spirit. Love in its purest form unconditional love is the substance of the Divine, with its endless capacity to forgive us and respond to our prayers. Our own hearts are designed to express compassion, forgiveness, and love.
