174 - Discovering Heart-Minded Connection w/ Kimberly Snyder

In today’s episode, Kimberly and I discuss her new book, The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts, which discusses the connection between our hearts and our overall well-being. She shares how the heart functions like a brain and the concept of heart coherence—how syncing the heart and brain can transform your health and vitality. We discuss the five heart stages outlined in ancient Vedic texts, from the "dark heart" to the "clear heart," and how understanding these stages can lead to greater emotional intelligence and resilience. Kimberly shares practical tools for achieving heart coherence, including a guided heart-aligned meditation that you can incorporate into your daily routine. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself and others, this episode is filled with information to help you elevate your heart's power.
