Inner Journey 1: Transforming Self-Defeating Patterns 

The Foundation of Healing and Self-Discovery

Inner Journey 1 is the foundational workshop at the Center for Heart-Mind Coherence, designed to help individuals uncover and transform deep-seated self-defeating imprints that skew their perceptions and emotional experiences. These imprints are triggered and fueled by core emotional addictions to security, power-control, sensation, and struggle, which keep us reactive, projecting a past into the present.

What You Will Learn

In this immersive workshop, participants will learn to: 

✅ Identify emotional/behavioral loops that keep them stuck in reactive states
✅ Down-regulate emotional distress through heart-centered breathing
✅ Integrate self-reflective writing, creative practices, and contemplative exercises
✅ Reimagine stagnant narratives into thriving personal stories

Each step builds upon the other, guiding participants through layers of emotional awareness, helping them transform from past wounds and move towards authentic, empowered living.

The Science Behind the Process

Our approach is backed by the latest research in neuroscience, neuro-cardiology, interpersonal neurobiology, and trauma studies:

• Neuroscience & Trauma: Life experiences shape neural pathways, influencing behavior. Trauma can trap the nervous system in repetitive patterns of distress (Van der Kolk, B., 2015; Levine, P., 2010).
• Interpersonal Neurobiology: The brain, body, and mind are shaped by relationships. Attention is the key to reshaping neural pathways and shifting self-defeating patterns (Siegel, D., 2012).
• Neuro-Cardiology & Heart Intelligence: The heart has its own neural network influencing emotional regulation and cognition (HeartMath Institute, 2016).
• Ancestral & Collective Trauma: Our work is informed by research on generational trauma and collective healing (Hübl, T., 2023).

Integrating Science and Spirituality

Beyond neuroscience, the Inner Journey 1 workshop incorporates spiritual wisdom and heart-centered practices to support deep healing. Our teachings are inspired by the work of spiritual leaders such as Thomas Keating, David Steindl-Rast, and Thomas Hübl, as well as universal principles that emphasize love, connection, and the pursuit of meaning.
