About Our Theme:

"Healing Touch: 30 Years Connecting Heart to Heart"

For the past 30 years our work has been centered in the energy of the heart.

The physical heart has an electrical vibration more powerful than brain waves, transmitting more signals to the brain than it receives from the brain. Additionally, "these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function – influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart." (HeartMath Institute)

The basis of our healing work includes science, energetics, and attributes of the heart center. Brugh Joy MD believed that the heart center has definite qualities including Compassion, Unconditional Love, Healing Presence, Innate Harmony, and Service, accessing an interdimensional source of energy, a source beyond anything we can conventionally imagine in everyday reality. The heart center is the seat of forgiveness, inclusiveness, empathy and patience, bridging physical and spiritual energies. (Joy, B. 1979)

Barbara Brennan notes, “The heart chakra is the most important chakra used in the healing process. All energies metabolized through the chakras travel up the vertical power current through the roots of the chakras and into the heart chakra before moving out of the hands or eyes of the healer. In the healing process, the heart transmutes the earth plane energies to spiritual energies and the spiritual plane energies into earth plane energies to be used by the patient.” (Brennan, B. 1987)

Community, one of seven core values of Healing Beyond Borders is described as the “interconnectedness we experience with each other and the collective strength that flows from sacred community. Community involves acting in a beneficent way through cooperation, honor, and respect.” (Anderson, Anselme, Hart, 2024)

Connecting Heart to Heart is a moment to moment, lifelong practice.
