A sweet and potent portal resides at the very center of our being, positioned perfectly to gather and transmit the most profound energies of this world. Our hearts hold, they understand and heal, creating personal auras that connect dimensions of depth and vitality.

Complexity and practicality underlie this vital pump, known for circulating life and love in both a physiological and powerfully intuitive way. Studies reveal a brilliant, bidirectional communication between the heart and brain—an intrinsic neural network that explains the wisdom behind compassion, gratitude and even grief which inform our days. 

This beautiful nexus—symbolizing flow, generosity and receptivity—naturally draws our focus as we seek points of light and sources of warmth this season, and our February theme of heart health solidly reminds us of the power of choice in preserving and strengthening our life force.  Contributors remind us of the importance of minimizing inflammatory circumstances—whether from stress, diet or emotional strain—in both mind and body to protect and nourish this vital organ.

When we live in a way that is life-giving and aligned with our deepest truths, we generate a gentle energy that ripples outward. The heart’s rhythm is a sacred intelligence connecting us to ourselves, each other and the vast pulse of existence. May we trust in its wisdom.

Here’s to the realms of peace and gratitude that uplift our world!

In gratitude,
