How to Create & Write From Heart Coherence

The Infinity of an Open Heart: Writing Stories From Heart Coherence

I sometimes wonder, what would it be like if we changed the phrase from "my heart is full" to "my heart is empty"? The stories that life might fill into that space are often much braver and much bolder than my small self would dare to share.

Stuck in your writing or creative project? Stuck in your healing journey?

Telling new stories has to do with new perspectives, new observations, new dimensions of ourselves, really allowing ourselves to be recreated. In this 15-minute talk, Dr. Li spoke to a group immersed in a writing workshop, guiding an experiential visualization, taking us into a state of coherence -- mind empty, heart open -- in an expanded universe.

Dr. Li sees her primary role, as a writer and a doctor, as listening...listening to others, to herself, to nature, to life events, but mostly to silence -- to the great emptiness itself. When we come to that state, something surprising often pops up.

What would it be like if we trained ourselves to slow down, so that we can perceive the emptiness and the silence between our thoughts and the words? What would it be like if we could smile or laugh at our seriousness of purpose when we write? To open the heart is like the stories that we tell. There are an infinite number of ways to go about the same essential experience.
