In doing that, you can access a far deeper intelligence—heart intelligence—that infuses the whole of your life with a different kind of synergistic power, paving the path to your best performance, higher health, incredible relationships, and the ability to find better solutions throughout your day, no matter what you are doing.There are five progressive stages that make up the process of awakening your heart intelligence and heart coherence, as well as unlocking the energetic, or spiritual, heart. These five stages of heart awakening are inspired by the teachings of the revered yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru to Paramahansa Yogananda.
