Jason Schwartz & Airielle Pearson interview LINDA GREEN about Programs of the Heart, a program out of Austin, TX -2011
Summary & Timestamped transcript Below…

The video features an in-depth interview and experiential session with Linda Green, a heart life instructor from Boulder, Colorado, visiting Maui. Linda shares her journey from a career in engineering to teaching and embodying “Programs of the Heart,” a spiritual and emotional development program founded by Diana Vella over 20 years ago. The core of the program is the course “Mastery of the Heart,” which teaches individuals to live from an open heart, connecting deeply with their soul and the Divine or Source of Creation. This way of living enables people to release emotional blockages, heal relationships, and cultivate a deeper, more radiant, and peaceful presence in daily life, including in busy corporate environments.
Linda explains that “Programs of the Heart” is not about meditation as a separate practice but a continuous way of living—a sustained state of presence and openness that transcends societal conditioning, gender roles, and time itself. The program is accessible to everyone but requires commitment and readiness to engage in self-examination and transformation. She highlights the healing of deep familial relationships, including her own reconciliation with her mother, as powerful outcomes of the program.
The video includes a guided experiential practice that brings participants into a deep connection with their body and heart, facilitating relaxation and opening to the Eternal Heart—the heart of all creation and source of infinite wisdom and guidance. Linda stresses the importance of integrating this heart-centered state into everyday life for greater flow, ease, and authentic leadership in any environment.
Linda also describes additional offerings, such as an introductory phone course called “Discovering the Heart and Soul,” a “Meditations from the Heart” CD, and private and group sessions. She shares her vision of expanding the program’s reach, including teaching opportunities in Maui, Boulder, and globally. The interview closes with warm personal reflections, gratitude, and encouragement to explore this heart-centered path for transformation and healing.

Detailed Summary and Analysis

The video begins with a warm welcome to Linda Green, who is visiting Maui from Boulder, Colorado. Linda introduces “Programs of the Heart,” an organization founded by Diana Vella that has been growing for more than 20 years. The cornerstone course, “Mastery of the Heart,” teaches people how to live from an open heart, connecting with their soul and the Divine—referred to as the Eternal Heart. This is not merely a meditation technique but a transformative lifestyle that enables participants to transcend societal conditioning, male/female distinctions, and time itself, entering a state of deep presence and flow.
Linda explains that the program is designed to be compatible with everyday life, including corporate jobs, making it accessible and practical. The course spans six to eight months, during which participants learn to identify and clear emotional blockages that constrict their hearts and inhibit their connection to their authentic selves. The approach is experiential, combining weekly gatherings with personal practice, allowing participants to maintain presence and embody heart-centered living regardless of external circumstances.
The program is inclusive but requires readiness and willingness to engage in self-examination and change. Linda notes that not everyone is ready at the same time, and some may come to the work only when it resonates with their current life stage. The reward for commitment is profound: greater love, peace, freedom, and the ability to lead from the heart in any context.
A significant portion of the video is dedicated to a guided exercise encouraging viewers to relax their bodies deeply, breathe consciously, and connect with their heart center. This process moves awareness through the body—from the chest through the hips, legs, spine, arms, neck, and head—releasing tension and fostering a state of calm and presence. Participants are invited to imagine floating in a stream of light emanating from the Eternal Heart, symbolizing the source of creation, love, and infinite wisdom. This practice exemplifies the program’s emphasis on embodied spirituality, where the body, mind, and soul align in harmony.
Linda shares her personal transformation story, which is both inspiring and relatable. Coming from a strong analytical and engineering background, she pursued spiritual growth alongside her professional career. A chance synchronicity led her to Diana Vella’s course, and despite financial uncertainty, she committed fully. The result was a dramatic shift in her presence and being, so much so that friends did not recognize her after the program. She highlights how the work healed her relationship with her estranged mother, turning resentment into deep love and friendship—a testament to the program’s power to heal entrenched emotional wounds.
Linda also recounts how the program has impacted other participants, including couples who deepened their relationships and individuals who reconciled with family members. These testimonials reinforce the idea that living from the heart can transform not only personal well-being but also social and relational dynamics.
The conversation touches on additional offerings, such as the “Discovering the Heart and Soul” phone course, which prepares participants for deeper programs by teaching foundational skills for heart connection and self-clearing. There is also a “Meditations from the Heart” CD that supports daily practice and integration. Linda’s availability for private and group sessions in Maui and Boulder positions her as an accessible guide for those interested in this heart-centered approach.
Finally, the video emphasizes community and ongoing learning, with instructors and students worldwide, annual conferences, and plans for expanded offerings. Linda’s warmth, openness, and clear communication make the spiritual teachings accessible while preserving their depth and transformative potential.
Conclusion
This video offers a comprehensive introduction to “Programs of the Heart,” a powerful spiritual program emphasizing living from an open heart connected to the Divine. Through Linda Green’s testimony, teachings, and guided practice, viewers gain insight into how this path fosters healing, presence, and authentic living in the modern world. The program’s accessibility to people from diverse backgrounds, including scientific and corporate environments, and its focus on practical integration make it especially relevant for those seeking deep transformation without retreating from everyday responsibilities.

welcome to another Mama presents I’m Jason you know me this is Linda Green Linda Green is visiting us from Boulder
02:52
Colorado how many of you know Boulder Colorado you’d see snow this is the middle of winter but here we are in beautiful Maui so if you’re watching us from downtown Boulder Colorado we welcome you to Maui Linda thank you for being here with us thank you for having me so much Linda jumped over and I guess for a little bit of respite and working her program that she wanted to share with all of you how many of you uh Linda probably many of you do but some of you haven’t met her yet Linda why don’t you
03:26
give these guys a little bit of a picture of what you’re doing here in Maui I know you have a program called programs of the heart but I wondered if you might give them a little window into what it is and then we’ll jump a little deeper okay um programs of the heart is the organization and it was founded 20 years ago a little over 20 years ago by an incredible teacher an incredible woman she’s a Visionary and her name is Diana Vella and she lives in Austin Texas and I discovered programs of the heart
04:02
in the late 90s I did a course called Mastery of the heart and decided to become a heart life instructor and I’ve been a heart life instructor for 10 years now and I teach in Boulder and we actually teach people to live in the heart and I’ll explain a little bit about what that means and as soul and everyday living and oh there’ll be some more explanation about what that means so I teach in Boulder Denver and I come back and forth to Maui and share this beautiful work with people here this
04:34
beautiful way of living really and this is a natural environment for it here in Maui so so 10 years ago you discovered has she been doing it for a longer time she has been a Visionary and a teacher for well over 35 years working with other bodies of work that she founded programs of the heart about 20 a little over 20 years ago in the mid 80s I’m gonna try to give it a definition programs of the heart is the name of the program and it’s a series of classes to and experiential teachings and learnings
05:10
and workshops well programs of the heart is actually the organization so that’s like we have we have more heart life instructors in Diana and that’s like the umbrella of the organization and the main body of work that Diana has put together over this this period of time working with thousands of people is a course called Mastery of the heart hence the name you learn how to master living in the State Higher states of an open heart and in connection with what we call the Eternal heart or your own
05:41
personal connection with the Divine or the source of creation and your own soul hence the name Part of Life part in life right and the more that you live with your heart open the more life comes back to you it’s really kind of a fountain of you and you have more Radiance and it’s 105. exactly what do you want to tell you and you free your soul more so you’re able to express your gifts more and be out in the world just um seeing people beyond their conditioning male female judgments um and it takes time so this program she
06:16
put together she’s compiled it over this 20-year period and refining it and refining it it takes anywhere between six and eight months so it really is accelerated when you think of addressing major things that have happened in your life that have impeded you from being free and having your heart be more open and you more connected with everybody and everything but we that course was put together so that you can still live normal lives and work in Corporate America my background is engineering I was an engineer for 17
06:46
years worked for big companies and I work with a lot of Engineers and this we meet weekly and we and we we take what’s happening in your life so that you can address it just week by week and be able to expand and maintain these deeper more restful more connected States even at in corporations and busy The Busy World that’s out there it’s like you’re you’re holding your own space and you actually bring that space into wherever you go and people will start to relax and be more in the heart when you’re
07:22
there so you’re really a leader that’s wonderful living in that state yeah so take take me for example someone who thinks of itself as thoughtful and heart filled and but I don’t go there I mean some people talk about meditation and such is it meditation oriented is it more for people that are already touched with that kind of a loving nature or is it for everyone I mean what have you found over the years well it’s for everyone in a sense it is because we all have our own connection
08:04
to Creation but it seems like the people that are ready for this show up in my space or I cross their path or they cross my path so maybe not everybody’s ready to live this way and it does take it does take work it does take um taking a look at yourself and being responsible and doing what it takes to take actions to have the changes come forth for you so it takes people ready to make that commitment to themselves really in their own lives but what it brings is it just brings love deep love
08:38
and it brings more restful life and being more in the flow so the rewards are amazing and so yes the answer to your question is yes it’s for everybody but maybe not in this moment people may still be mastering certain things in life and this wouldn’t be a priority for them or it may not be in res you know resonate with them right now and so we are here to serve those people that want to attain this way of living now which is a real freedom for the soul and and just be there like they’re um hold
09:13
their hand until they can maintain it on their own type of thing so I wonder if everyone understands what you just said I mean I’m I’m hearing it I think of myself as a just went through a training and there are s’s they’re very structured teas that are techno people a that are all for fun in life and freedom and R which is caring and nurturing so as I’m listening I’m hearing something that I’m trying to put it into a structure and the heart is not structured the heart is like brand new every moment
09:53
creation is unfolding every single moment so we do not put people in categories on whether or not they’re ready for this and you can be you can be a very you know an Einstein kind of person a scientist or you could be a deep meditator and you still may be drawn to this like I said I work with a lot of Engineers who are scientifically oriented and business oriented it’s just whether or not this is just like the what’s next for you and it’s it’s presented as an opportunity not
10:20
everybody you know is maybe sees the opportunity or takes it and it’s not really result oriented it’s more right living from their heart in a business I’ll give you what I’m coming like we’re involved Ariel and I you guys know with something involving real estate and education but the people there come from a Pay It Forward heart attitude so as I’m hearing this I’m thinking oh what a natural marriage for people that already think about helping and loving people and wanting to make life greater
11:02
so anyone I guess that can come to understand that they would like to come from a place to make a better life starting from themselves out it’s because this is personal here it’s very inner and that’s the thing it’s like it doesn’t matter what you do but what this is going to do is deepen your own relationship with your number one your body because it always involves going in deeper and really nurturing and relaxing the body and then connecting into this place where there’s infinite knowledge and
11:35
wisdom available for any Soul who who is interested in going in there and accessing it and I’m not saying you’re going to go to the stock market you’re going to get information on a stock to buy or go to Las Vegas or whatever it’s what’s for the highest for each soul so we teach people to go in and ask for that guidance moment to moment in the morning who should I call what should I do and then your life becomes easier you’re really taken care of by creation but sometimes we get in our mind and we
12:04
get our action list and then we get really busy and drained and this will allow you to be in that flow with creation as your ultimate partner and we call it the Eternal heart but it’s just our own language jargon so that light life becomes more heavenly you think of it differently than say meditation is it things to learn to be able to attain that state or come from that place we don’t call it meditation we call it a way of living somebody might put it into a meditative category when you’re doing a relaxation
12:41
and connecting in because you are removing yourself from the world temporarily to get more peaceful and to get connected but then it’s just so that you can bring that state back out into the world and maintain it and so we don’t like to use the word meditation because it’s can be lumped into a category oh I do this meditation or I do this technique and this is not a technique or process it is truly living this way right the invitation is a step away and this is just being more present speaking of
13:17
being a state of being and a state of deep presence in um in the world even if you’re in Boulder even if you’re in Boulder or L.A one of the most Maui busiest places you can you can live this way it’s like the saying being in the world but not of it so you are rooted and grounded in that that connection and that guidance and that support and you’re holding that space for the people around you the family the friends the corporate America while there’s other consciousnesses going on out there
13:52
there’s you know busyness and competitiveness and wars and you know all kinds of stuff I mean I can go on and on judgments and you it’s like you cut you can entrain in a way you know you walk in and people naturally go into their hearts and are more relaxed I like to think of it as again maybe we can’t change the world but we can change our worlds clean yes and the world around us just by who and what we are and how we are yes so this is a tool for being in touch with how we are in place
14:34
now I know just before we got on here the three of us got together and did little opening exercise to kind of get in touch with everything and I think we should show that piece now what does that scene that sounds wonderful and then we’re gonna come back and continue an interview and in fact you’re going to see this chair turning to Ariel just like that and I may come back and visit that’s what’s going to happen that seem good to you that sounds wonderful thank you we’re gonna get the second you’ll see
15:08
everything change here here ready the magic of television three so I want to share this with you this is the Foundation of working uh with the with the heart and what we’re going to be doing is we teach people to live in the heart and as soul in everyday living and that is beyond the conditioning of the world Beyond male and female there is a part of us that is eternal so it goes beyond Way Beyond this lifetime Beyond Time there’s also a relationship a partnership and that is there’s the
15:44
source of creation and we call it we happen to just use a name we call it each heart because it’s the heart of all of creation and that centers around our own physical heart so we all have our own direct connection you have your own personal connection you have your own personal connection I have my own personal connection and everybody out there has their own unique personal connection and their own unique expression of the Creator called their soul when we’re just using that terminology
16:16
so what we’re going to do in this exercise is Go deeper into that connection because what happens is is the way the consciousness of the world is today is it’s very busy and um just there’s you know survival energy still out there from ages past and judgments and things like that and there’s just conditioning so this is allowing us to free ourselves of those attachments kind of being in the world but not of it so to speak I don’t know if you’ve heard that saying so we’re gonna this exercise allows
16:48
people to go in deeper and then we teach people um to maintain this and expand this relationship out in everyday living I work with engineers in Corporate America we work with people who have very normal lives mothers and fathers and um it involves a combination of practicing connecting in and doing that like first thing in the morning as well as removing things that are keeping you and Contracting you from that such as blockages that you’ve held into your heart and it kind of gets stuck in
17:22
this channel between you and the source of life and the source of creativity and your own guidance and we have this very fast way of having that that energy that has held that in place open up and free or sold right so so that’s so I’d like to let you experience at least connecting in on a deeper level so we all go into that deeper place and people are welcome to follow along who are watching this you’re welcome do not do this if you’re driving otherwise right so um the best thing to start off is to
17:59
relax keep the body and the mind so I always have people go ahead and shut your eyes and just take a couple really deep breaths and you’re just letting go of the world and anything that you’ve been doing today getting here the busyness of the world and you’re just following the breath and your body you’re noticing the sounds and the environment but you’re just letting go of the environment at the same time and just getting to know and deepening your relationship with your own body
18:36
so using the breath take a couple deep breaths and just relax the lungs just the area of the chest the rib cage all the ribs letting the heart rate slow down letting yourself just be in a deeper state of beingness and you’re observing the body just from that place that place of your soul that expanded Eternal place just being the witness being The Observer we find we cannot connect them to the Eternal realm the Eternal heart unless we’re in our Eternal state and unless we’re relaxed
19:33
so just continue to bring deep deep breaths just letting that breath naturally breathe the body and just moving the awareness down beneath the rib cage remember beneath where the solar plexus is we often have folding and tightness contractions just from busyness in the day and just use that breath and let go of any holding right there bringing the awareness deeper into the beneath there where the rest of the organs begin the stomach and the liver the pancreas all the little organs like the gallbladder and spleen
20:25
small and large intestines and just to rest the organs the urinary tract the bladder the reproductive organs and there’s the muscles that hold the organs in place just let go of any holding let it unwind you let yourself just rest and be and then just feeling yourself sitting in the chair if you’re sitting or if you’re laying down we’re going to move our awareness into the area of the hips and deepen the bones and muscles the pelvic area front and back bringing that aliveness from your soul
21:18
deep in there and the breath waking up the cells and down through the legs relaxing the muscles and bones of the thighs down through the knees the kneecaps the ligaments behind the knees down through the lower legs relaxing the calf muscles The Shins and then deep into the the feet the tops of the feet there the ankles and the heels deep into the bones of the feet going deep into the even the joints of the toes all the way to the tips of the toes the bottoms of the toes the arches heels the pads
22:16
and then just at your own pace just gently bring your awareness slowly back up through the lower legs and the thighs the hips and we’re going to begin to relax the back just beginning right in the back tailbone area taking a couple deep breaths right into the bones of the tailbone and moving gently up each vertebrae of the back and you’re really nurturing your own body just with your own love and awareness As you move through each vertebrae and relaxing the spine deep inside all the nerves throughout the nervous system
23:05
moving up through the lower and mid back areas and when you get to the rib cage there you relax all the ribs the back of the rib cage the vertebrae in between the rib cage that behind the physical heart underneath the shoulder blades and then in the upper back all the vertebrae up there the spine all the muscles that hold the tension of worries and busyness and just relaxing across the tops of the shoulders collarbone and then letting the arms just the follow the arms down just relaxing right into the upper arm area
23:57
elbows down through the wrists arms and into both hands relaxing the palms of the hands the tops all the little bones and joints all the way to the tips of the finger and thumb taking a couple deep breaths down there and when you’re going to feet just bring your awareness gently back up through the lower arms the upper arms shoulders and we’re going to begin to relax the neck right in the front of the neck a couple deep breaths sides the back of the neck and all the vertebrae back there
24:49
taking a couple deep breaths into the right where the vertebrae attached to the skull and let it hold it in the back of the head just letting that lighten and any holding on the sides of the head around the ears top of the head and the forehead and then just letting yourself go deep deep beyond the skull right into the brain let the brain relax just let it be and you’re just watching and observing as Soul as the Eternal Part of Yourself who’s been in existence since the beginning of time
25:39
Beyond Time Beyond male female just letting the brain relax relaxing the forehead in the temple area and the eyes letting the eyes relax taking a deep breath and breathing in and relaxing the nasal passages sinuses and then just letting the face relax the muscles and the bones of the face the cheeks and the chin the mouth still watching letting the jaw the jaw tends to hold a lot of holding and tensions and it can help to let go of any holding there by just letting the lower part of the down strap open a little bit
26:37
just let gravity assist to let Lobby holding right in that jaw joint Let It Go and then breathing in and relaxing inside the mouth the tongue to keep the gums the glands underneath the tongue down into the throat area and then just right back to where we began in the chest area just letting go of any folding we’re going to move our awareness over to the left to the physical heart how does the heart feel is there any holding there sometimes there’s emotion heaviness or tightness some other kind of sensation
27:45
and just allow your awareness your breath your love to just let your heart begin to relax the different chambers of the heart let it open up and soften using the breath let the breath just be slow and deep naturally grieving the body just following the rhythm of the breath and then just begin to tune your listening letting go of the Sounds in the environment and if you want to put your hand over in the heart right over in that area just to begin to tune into the full station of the heart a gentle
28:55
rhythm gently rocking the body and just let your soul begin to rest right in that rhythm Let It Be nurtured and begin to allow your awareness to just rest and if you want to imagine yourself just floating in a beautiful stream of light it begins right in the area of the heart and just goes right beyond the body and that light goes right to the source of all creation comes it’s emanating from the source of creation we call it the Eternal heart you might have heard it be called The Sacred Heart
30:05
our source of creation heart of hearts it’s the Beautiful place where creation emanates from where love comes from and life force and an energy that enters the body through the heart also wisdom and guidance is available there infinite wisdom and guidance for every soul is available and the words are very simple just a word or two or a phrase allow you some time just to go just a few seconds or a few moments to go just as deep as you can resting deep into that pulsation and deep into that stream of light and
31:08

33:26
people do on a daily basis if not once a day sometimes if they need to reconnect later multiple times multiple times if needed depending on the busyness of the environment I guess it’s very different if you do it with a mirror you can do it with a mirror it’s good to get to know yourself as soul and get to know the body I’m going to the camp I don’t want to leave this space okay Aloha wow that was great we transformed we transformed people we transformed our hearts that was very nice thank you very
34:13
much you’re so welcome very sweet I hope I I hope you didn’t see me like that oh my I am so relaxed it was great so we’re glad you’re here with us honey thank you now he is happy to have you thank you so much yeah yeah I was listening to you and I was thinking wow how did she go from engineer to this I mean that’s a big difference what prompted you to change your life that way well um I’ve always been drawn to people I love people and um but I was very good at math and science
34:55
and so I went to a college preparatory school and they very much funneled me in the direction of being an engineer which I was very grateful for um but I knew there was something missing although I was a very competent engineer and I worked for Fortune 500 companies and startup companies in Boulder and just enjoyed it but I felt something was missing so I would seek out kind of people-oriented spiritual activities in the evenings such as the Course in Miracles facilitating that and I decided to get a counseling degree so
35:28
I began to go to naropa university of Boulder right just part time at night as I was working full-time as an engineer and it was in the midst of that program that this course Mastery of the heart with Deanna Bella crossed my path and how it did was I just put it out there that I wanted to live by more faith and the next day the brochure showed up in my mailbox and I got a phone call and I was like whoa DDD I love that it happened so fast I’m like if I’m gonna if I’m gonna live by faith then this
36:02
is it and I went into the session and I wasn’t that you know the session didn’t do it it was more reading the brochure and just getting in my heart to do it and it was a big step because it was a five month long program that’s an extent and I was unemployed at the time too so it was like putting the money on my credit card but what showed up was an engineering job that gave me eight paid days off an office overlooking the Boulder Creek path which is very unusual it’s like that was a dream that I had and it
36:33
manifested and a hundred thousand shares in the company it was like I got a lot of support to do the course fantastic good for you so good manifesting so that happened to support me to do it and then afterwards within a year I decided not to finish the program at naropa I really got this was exactly what I was looking for there’s been no regrets and I’ve actually had people from naropa come and do the coursework with me after they completed their work at naropa and we may be teaching it in Europa actually
37:05
um we’re applying to teach them in their extended Pro studies program so we’ll see but there’s definitely a connection with naropa that sounds wonderful I’m sure they’ll be a pleasure to if you do that yeah yeah you know well she had the cosmic coincidence control board at work with her yes now which is very important board in our lives yes and I think when you tune into your heart that way it allows that board to work more fully don’t you agree yes you step out of the way and surrender
37:38
let yourself just be in the flow and so what results have you seen for this for yourself what has this done for your life doing this well the biggest result the first one that just really was the most profound besides I mean some people didn’t even recognize me after Mastery the heart because I changed so much in five months they took pictures before and after and I did not look like the same person how did you change um Superwoman well I just probably just more I was more my body I remember the first
38:13
picture was hazy there was like a haze and that was my soul I believe that was not in my body I had so much shutdown in my heart yes it couldn’t be in there and so I was more present my soul was more in my body so that was the first thing and I had people that didn’t I was reintroduced to somebody I went out with at a party and he didn’t even know I was the same person a few years later wow so it’s that profound of shifts but the biggest thing was um I did an another course that Deanna
38:44
Bella put together called in the heart and soul of my beloved and it’s this sacred relationship horse and I did it in Aspen in the year 2000. and the relationship that came out of that although I was in a romantic relationship and it helped my relationship at the time was with my mother oh wow and we had a very broken estranged relationship very my heart had a lot of resentments an example is she didn’t come visit me in college and I was an hour away but one time as out of obligation it was just in a very
39:22
strained relationship yes and this course she became my beloved my best friend and we used to travel to Maui back and forth and she passed away like four years ago and I was with her holding her hand when she took her last breath and it was like very Angelic and so I miss her so much I mean I still cry about the about how radiant of a beautiful soul she was I totally was able to get who she was and she’s my hero I that’s great and I didn’t even have a clue who she was and I didn’t like her
39:57
and didn’t get her and she believe it or not is one of the thousand points of light from president senior Bush senior they flew in and gave her an award for community service so she is a very it was a very giving woman and I I still because of the resentments in my heart we had that wall there so it’s just that was the greatest gift that I that sounds wonderful and it’s truly amazing what we hold on to and and the walls that we build that are we put them up when we’re young we think that they’re real so yes
40:34
I’m glad you’re helping people to change that for themselves thank you so much absolutely I worked with somebody last year and just within the eight-month Mastery course she knows her relationship with her mother and they’ve become best friends and I’ve known her for years and she always had breakdowns and just couldn’t even talk on the phone and they came out to visit her the first time ever had a family reunion for Thanksgiving in Denver with her this year so it’s just it’s wonderful
41:06
it’s really truly healing relationships of the heart because those are old and deep many people have them there are many family and my sister there was a little Dynamic with my mom my sister and myself my sister’s older the oldest I’m next and we would fight and fight and it was like I did most of my Mastery clearing all of the stuff around my sister and now my sister came to Austin and did an event at programs of the heart event in November and she’s going to be doing heart and
41:39
soul of my beloved in April with her fiance in Austin before she gets married and she’s going to have Diana Bella marry them and I I didn’t even suggest it she came up with it on her own so it really does bring families closer together and that’s really true healing yes yes well good for you I’m so happy for you thank you so much that’s one of the best things to heal thank you so much that and our challenge is with our children um and I don’t have children other side so but I know the people that do they they
42:13
definitely this helps their relationships with their children too oh I have not a doubt about it all of us need help so I have I wanted to show you this is the invitation because there’s a beautiful picture in it actually from Lori Higgins who’s from uh the Hawaiian islands and this is the in the heart and soul of my beloved horse oh it does look Hawaiian yeah yes and she has not Deanna Bella has not offered this course in over three years and in over five years in Boulder and she’s offering it for the first time in
42:48
these over three years in Austin Texas at the end of April the the 26-27 uh 25th 26th and 27th and that’s the course my sister is going to be in and um so anyway I just invite anybody that’s interested in this course if they feel like traveling to Austin Texas it’s an incredible opportunity and the show may be over and on the air this way to pass that date but I bet they can get news about it and hear about it and if you’re lucky enough to have seen this at the right time lucky one
43:26
well um I wanted to share a little bit more about this I did in for single people I took this or I assisted with this the last time it came to older in 2003 and within within a month of that that course I met my my partner at the time within a month and it has been by far the deepest relationship soul to soul that I’ve had and we’re still very close we’re not together as you know as a couple he is with somebody that he’s found his soulmate and I know it’s from the work we did together during the
43:58
course and after um but to quote him he said our relationship was like a honeymoon over and over and over again oh and we still get together we talk four or five it seems like we talked four or five times a week we live very close to each other so for single people this can help with the obstacles that are preventing somebody coming close in and a lot oftentimes it’s related to something shutting down the heart related to the previous relationship breakdown or stuff in your family background or whatever
44:28
and then for couples um it can just take you Way Beyond wherever you are even if your relationship is amazing it can go Way Beyond and I have a couple here two couples that took the course with me in 2000 this couple this is Sherry and Kenneth Bitz they because they’re so radiant and so in love they were asked to be models for a retirement community down in Athens Texas and this is them and I actually have audio testimonial of them that I share that I’m we just got last week and I’m starting to share with
45:05
people but it just what basically what they said is he didn’t he didn’t have time to go she wanted to go and they went and the relationship was already in a great state but it just went Way Beyond the depth and it’s continuing eight years later to affect them the results are lasting that’s great good for them yeah and then Jim and Kathy Condrey they’re in Arkadelphia Arkansas um they they sh they um they were already married they met during a Mastery of the heart course in the early
45:39
90s so the the heart brought them together earlier and one of the things that it did do for them was it brought them together more in creativity they they created a rap song about programs of the heart and it was a spoof on it it was really funny so they performed that and and and they have more like that romance and things like that but the results are they didn’t do anything they it just shifts you naturally that’s great so that’s that’s those two so when will people be able to see you again
46:10
here and how do they contact you well we have a website it’s programsoftheheart.com www.programsoftheheart.com my contact information’s on there I come to Boulder typically or I come to Maui typically in September April March April and definitely around the holidays and I’m really hoping that Diana and some of the Heart Like instructors come can come to Maui as well maybe even for heart and soul my beloved or another course um we have instructors in Australia we have one in training in New Zealand all
46:48
over the United States we actually did an annual conference here in 1999 wow so we have been here before and I actually have a picture of some of the instructors in Diana Vella here um right here this is Diana and then some of the instructors from around the globe this is just a small subset um so I would say probably probably in the fall we’ll be back and I’m hoping Diana Giana loves Maui so and she’s the one that teaches heart and soul my beloved and um uh some of the advance we consider these
47:28
Advanced courses where you need a little bit of a prerequisite I do have I don’t know if this would be a good time to share about these two things sure go right ahead um we find we want people when they come to do uh heart and soul or even Master the heart to have a little background so Diana put together when she went to Australia for a tour a phone course a phone conference course to help you teach you the basics of connecting into the heart and learning to maintain them in everyday living before taking going
48:01
and doing Mastery of the heart or heart and soul my beloved and this course is called discovering the heart and soul and it’s eight weeks so I said a group on the phone it’s a group on the phone okay and you we teach you actually how to do a heart life session on yourself uh behind the scenes which is a a very fast way that that involves clearing a blockage or something that has shut the heart down and it is permanent transformation that keeps your heart Connection open oh great that would be
48:31
certainly worth that yes yes so that’s something people on Maui could do yes without having to be there in Austin Texas yeah there you go and we have people from all over the world we’ve had people from South Africa Australia New Zealand all over the United States um maybe even I’m not sure if South America yet but and we’ve had people from Maui uh participate in this course great so there’s that and then another thing for people this is an introductory um a way to get have an introductory
49:04
it’s a CD that dionabella put together after 20 years we’ve been requesting and requesting something a CD a book or something she’s so busy working experientially with people One Soul at a time or with groups that it’s a book can’t really capture this yeah so I understand it just it’s just words and so she has put a little workshop together on a CD called meditations from the heart series The Journey and it’s a standalone Workshop in itself centered around healing and relaxing the body and
49:37
it also has um tracks on connecting into the heart and also doing little sessions on the bodies themselves so this is available as well on the website with Diana and I listened this is so powerful I listen to it every day in conjunction with me connecting into the part myself so I recommend that pretty cover hey Jason hi I’m coming to join you girls to say goodbye well I’m not gonna say goodbye yet for just a minute I know that we can go on and on I know that this is just the first time that Linda’s
