Discovering the Truth Behind the ‘Woo Woo’ Label

What does the term ‘woo woo’ mean to you? Don’t hold back, my friend. Be honest here.

Do you think being ‘woo woo’ is wacky!? Is it something you find amusing, trendy, or maybe even unsettling? Let’s explore the deeper meaning behind this concept.

I admit to having used this term in the past, only to regret belittling something that holds scientific and spiritual truths. In this episode, I offer a fresh perspective that will help you appreciate practices often labeled as ‘woo.’  I even came up with a new framework to really understand how to see things considered ‘woo’ from a whole new empowering and life-giving perspective.  Join me on this journey of discovery, where you can unlock the potential for enhanced health, wellbeing, and a deeper sense of unity.

Understanding Heart Intelligence

As you probably know, I love the research and work done at the HeartMath Institute. A portion of all proceeds from my coach certification program goes to HeartMath, and I regularly donate to their organization because I believe in their discoveries and work…which some might consider ‘woo woo.’

Let me share with you one of the recent studies shared from the HeartMath Institute that will illustrate how important it is not to dismiss energy, beliefs, and things that could be considered ‘woo.’ A lot of research has been done to uncover a remarkable relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes and the effects they have on our own physical DNA. As you might already know after listening to my interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief, it turns out that our genes are changeable and not fixed. According to research done through the HeartMath Institute, heart-centered positive emotions like compassion, love, gratitude, joy, and care can all improve our immune function, suppress inflammation and heal our nervous system.

And get this, the practice of heart coherence (which has to do with your heart rate variability or HRV) and setting intentions (see my past interview with Lynne McTaggart about the power of intentions) was found to create the most significant impact on the physical aspects of DNA strands. What this means is that self-empowered healing is a real thing. It is backed by science and certainly NOT ‘woo woo.’

The Wisdom Of Oneness

Rather than focus on how we’re different, my new framework for WOO: the Wisdom Of Oneness honors traditions, spiritual truths, and science that shows how we’re all connected. To learn more about the power of our oneness, I highly recommend reading the book The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden, who has been a guest three times on this show.

My question to you is, how might you find that oneness within yourself?
