 ‘It was an indescribable, magnificent weekend that exceeded all expectations. As many participants said. Time flew! It's impossible to describe in words what happened and what was felt on 5 and 6 October. Even if I chose the most beautiful, delicate and impactful words. Even if I used a thousand and one frills and adjectives, the description would fall far short of what was experienced by those who were there. However, we can only thank everyone who attended because it wouldn't have been possible without your contribution to Cardiac Intelligence! As I often say, ‘The heart is something that speaks with one voice!’ To have more than sixty people come together in coherence and have their hearts speak with one voice - love, compassion, giving voice to the collective, to an intention of peace so that we can co-create and create a better world - was marvellous. All of this is something that goes beyond our existence because we are much more than what we can think or imagine.
We are beings of light with the power to create anything we want, but always from the inside out. One of the fundamental objectives that the HeartPower22 academy has had since it was founded is to present programmes that are not about us, the academy, but about each person who attends. We all have stories, some more difficult where we've grown up, others easier where we've enjoyed ourselves, but it's incredible that no matter where or who you are, when you get together in a room and enter into coherence, how you can feel that energy, that positivity. Seeing people who came in desolate. I'm remembering people very dear to me who, when they went in, their countenance was so heavy, but when they came out, they came out, not with hope, but with the certainty that we really can and do have within us the solution to everything. We can be in order to have! We don't need to wait to have something in order to be.
And this has been the big problem, the wrong direction that humanity has taken. We try to have something, a personal relationship, a job, something material, whatever it may be, we humanity always hopes to have something so that we can then be. To be happy, to be fulfilled, to be courageous, to be credible enough to believe in ourselves. This weekend showed that outside of us nothing has changed, but inside each person present, either everything has changed or change has begun! When we go to our hearts, everything changes, and when we change inside ourselves, we change our perceptions, the way we look at life, the risk that in Chinese has two translations. It can mean danger or opportunity! And we saw people leave that room knowing that they had a new opportunity, that their heart had given them a new chance! A new chance to be who they are, a new chance to live, a new chance to feel that they are capable of anything. Capable of improving our cognitive part, our physical health, our mental health, our emotional health. We've improved everything and we can continue to improve and help others to feel this energy and change too. I wouldn't change anything. Everything we did was incredible. Congratulations are due to all the people present, the organisation, the supporters, Luís from the magazine ‘Saúde Actual’, Filipa and Dulce with their brand ‘Nola’ and Cristina and Leonor with ‘Doterra’, Sônia Carneiro ‘Organic India’, Miguel Dantas from the Lisbon City Foundation and the photographers André and Afonso from DigitalStories who praised us so much. Hearing first-hand, from people who are working, that it was a weekend well spent, feeling that it really is programmes like the one we present that make them feel that they weren't working, they were enjoying, they were learning is a compliment and extremely gratifying for us. And a special thank you to the Espaço Ser e Sentir clinic, located on Rua da ladeira in Paio Pires. Without their tireless support, this transformative event would be nothing more than an intention. Once again, the coherence of the heart spoke louder and the marvellous happened! I couldn't help but end this speech, without belittling any of the participants who put in an excellent performance, by saying a word to the courage that Alfredo and his daughter Marta had in giving us that unique and magnificent moment that will remain with everyone present in that room forever.  Huge gratitude because we have also learnt from you. This is give and take, take and give. It's this cycle that we have to maintain and continue! This is what gives us at the Heart Power 22 Academy enormous encouragement to continue, not just for you but also for us! Because we gain strength and courage. We fill ourselves up with what we've seen, felt and received from everyone here.

 
Gratitude, Gratitude, Huge Gratitude! ’
