During difficult and tumultuous times, to me, it often seems we’re a world suffering a broken heart. Unified in our grief, the best of us come forth to help: to protect and care for each other. Open-hearted, generous sharing is the silver lining which helps us each feel real… feel alive… feel connected.
My invitation to you is to allow this realization to guide you. Coming together for the better good is our neurological nature. Our nervous systems are designed to connect with others in loving ways and when we do, our bodies feel the goodness—no matter what our political, cultural, religious or educational differences. In fact, research has found that when college students watched videos of Mother Teresa helping poor children, the whole class received a boost in their immune system.
As I write this, thunder rumbles, hail drops while the sky is brightly sunny overhead—isn’t that just like life! Flowing with inconsistencies… and Mother Nature never apologizes because that’s just the way life is…
Life calls us forth: sometimes the hero, sometimes the rescued. In the end, they are the same…

Hero Guided RIM Experience with Dr. Deb Sandella
Right now, close your eyes and with a deep cleansing breath relax down into your body… Taking a few minutes to rest here… you’ll notice something inside you calling your attention… it’s your hero. Receive it as best as you can regardless of where it’s hiding in your body… no matter whether it’s large or small…smooth or rough… warm or cool…
Noticing what color your attention gives it, imagine being in that raw hero energy that you were born with… it’s always been there and always will… and right now you’re choosing to allow it to be felt…
Notice the feeling of it as you immerse yourself… swimming in, around and into it…
Rest in this place as long as you want… allowing the hero in you to be known and allowed as much as possible…
From this place, gaze out at humanity with all its joys and sorrows… all its ups and downs… all its agreements and conflicts… all its brilliance and ignorance… all its grace and awkwardness… all its wins and losses…
Noticing a feeling of generosity rising up from your core, you allow it to flow from you out into the world blessing all the inconsistencies and polarities of life… just the way they are…
Your body responds and you notice how this feels… something it naturally feels good to allow with what is… even though we may not agree with it… something within you knows you are part of something greater than you’ve ever imagined… even if you don’t what it is or how to do it… it just is… you just are… the way you are… hero and rescued all in the same…
And so it is!
