The “heart” energy is an inseparable critical synergy factor (CSF)) in the fundamental elements of our holistic performances in our day-to-day and moment-to-moment intentions, actualizations and realizations. This energy is the manifestation of the “soul” (in other occasions would be called as the “spirit”) within the “Body, Mind and Soul” system and mechanism. This energy gives capacity, capability and intelligence which many call it (in a way) Emotional Quotient – it participates initiatively, actively and pro-actively in
harmony (ideally) with the “mind” energy and the “body” (physical) energy. All are interconnected, interrelated and meant to synergize and to be in-synch one with another to produce and sustain the holistic (overall) performances which can be measured and quantified (in a way) as levels of competency or a term which some of us may use, Holistic Quotient.

While the Body-energy is the most apparent of all (visible and tangible), the Mind-energy (although not immediately visible) can easily be seen in the affects and effects of the physical (physical actions, body language, gestures, etc.), and in fact, in higher educated individuals with higher statures, the Mind-energy works extensively harder than the Body energy, more than one would imagine. The “Heart-energy” on the other hand, is the least
apparent - untouchable. Although can only be felt and sensed, the affects and effects are actually the most unbearable to resist and can strongly manifest in the streams and energies of the Mind (thoughts) and flow on to the actions and energies of the Body. Using the analogy of building construction, the Heart- energy is the foundation to support the structure, which is the Mind-energy, whom further supports the building construction, which is the Body-energy. The “Heart-energy” plays the most important role as it initiates (the intention and the will) and pushes (the power of will and the thrust) through the dimension of the Mind - and further on to the dimension of the Body and thus create synergy - to finally conclude the cycle of the “production”. These energies are called “energy” because they are meant to do one of the hardest works on earth, none-the-less to support the living of a person’s life every moment of the way. It’s only natural for these energies to have their own cycles of wellness, at times they are in their top-forms and in other times they are at the bottom of the scale. The level of the “fitness” as a synergy of all the energies and separately as individual energies do fluctuate, and that’s why it’s a must for one to maintain, manage and look after the levels of the “fitness” of the so called Body energy, Mind energy and the “Heart (Soul or Spirit) energy”.

Body-energy wears out when utilized excessively for physical activities at one given time, while the co-energies which are the Mind-energy and the Heart-energy are less utilized in this vey same scenario and composition. Mind-energy wears out when utilized intensely for mind-related activities at one given time, especially when it is also required simultaneously to support and escort the physical activities. The Heart-energy on the other hand is no less crucial and critical. Not only it has duties to create intentions but also supplies the will power, not only it’s sensitive to the dynamics from within (own Mind and Body), but equally sensitive to external interventions (other people, surroundings and circumstances). And just like the Body which can suffer physical exhaustion and like the Mind which can suffer “head-aches” and stress, the “Heart” can suffer emotional fatigue, depression, “heart aches” and many more. The truth is, although invisible, at times unthinkable and physically unfelt, the Heart-energy works the most – among others. Once again, it initiates intention, supplies will power, produces thrust to push through the domains of the Mind and the Body, and last but not least it defends and escorts the entire processes of the synergy and cycles of the works of human beings.

Many years ago close friends in metropolitan cities around the Southeast Asia region complaint that their intellectual and mental capabilities, capacities and comprehension seem to unnaturally depreciate sharply. This was unnoticed until they were faced with massive business problems to solve - somehow they were unable to perform as good as before. Somehow they’ve
considerably lost their sharpness, intuition, sensitivity, creativity, breakthrough initiatives, self-confidence, emotional control, patience, high enthusiasm, courage, swiftness, endurance, at times their coherence and so on. To some, this has created stress, depression, confusion, and even desperation. These are signs of “Heart -energy” depreciation, very similar to (an analogy) currency depreciation – constantly, persistently and by time the down sloping of the values of the currency gains natural acceptance and no longer becomes a major concern. Up to a point one forgets that values have degraded significantly through a length of journey that one has considered and accepted the new depreciated values as the new standard to live upon. Despite their efforts to take holiday-breaks and work out at physical fitness outlets, and so on, the complaints remain, let alone take chemical medication. Some consulted psychologists and were convinced that enormous level of stress is eminent, but then, problems remain - quick resolution to regain their “holistic fitness and competency” is of essence and urgency. Available methods (a number of foreign origin “inner-works” and holistic programs) to remedy were too complicated if not too lengthy of programs for metropolitan executives, who also tend to resist any types of available alternate practices of therapy simply because they don’t feel unhealthy (referring to physical and mental health). They prefer for a much more quick, compact, simple, practical and flexible solutions, better yet to call it instant solutions or “take away” solutions like when buying fast food. Or at least, as easy as going to available and easily found physical fitness centers.

With the global climate change on it course to complete the cycle and turn the world “up-side down” and “down side up”, and with the affects and effects of the “corrosion” penetrating hard and deep through the “Mind territory” into the “Heart territory”, it’s likely we’ll see more and more depreciating vitality with the “Heart energy” and more indications similar to what my close friends have complained. Browsing the websites on internet nets out information on the presence of groups, clubs, learning institutions which caters the issues of the “Heart energy” and “inner-feelings” processing, cultivating, developing and so on, but unfortunately the available solutions found on the web are a little to expanded, somewhat a bit too broad, time consuming and impractical for these particular crowd - metropolitan activists who claim never enough time for anything at anytime. This encourages the so-called “Inner studies” industry to beef up exploration and gather more discoveries, extend creation and innovation as well as expand improvisation on available means, methods and techniques through life experience and wisdom of knowledge to make available the quicker, more simple and practical, flexible and easier to grasp holistic methodology of which the focal objective is to empower, revitalize and regain the energy of the “Heart”.

Speaking of the energy of the “Heart” or the Soul for this matter is never simple. It’s probably one of the most sophisticated and “Hi-tech” elements and energies amongst all energies on earth. Some of the colleagues of mine mentioned that it could be unwise for “inner-energy” experts (within the industry of Inner-studies) to “compress” the cycles of energy processes which can
potentially lead into incomplete cycles or significantly reduced effectiveness and thus leads to minimum benefit gained by the exercise itself. I personally take it as a challenge to co-create a “sophistication made simple” types of
methodology as the population of those who feel it’s the time to take a holistic care of themselves are increasing.
