To promote and participate in the mission statement of Christ to “heal the brokenhearted,” whereby He gives us singleness of heart and action (undivided hearts) to the end that we are able to “love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind.”
As Jesus put it; “This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
(*Scriptures from Luke 4:4:17-18a; Isaiah 61:1; Jeremiah 32:39; Matthew 22:37-40.)
HeartSync Healing does this (heals the brokenhearted) by intentionally synchronizing with the various aspects of the heart with each other and bringing them into full relationship with God.
“Brokenhearted” is defined as: Any persistent separation between and within the heart, soul, mind, and spirit of a person (an emotional and spiritual captivity hindering the resolution of conflicted beliefs, as well as the effects of pain and trauma), which prevents joyful connection with God and others.
All of us are brokenhearted or have a divided heart to one degree or another. Bishop Andrew Miller notes in his personal research that all people have at least four main aspects of the human heart, which make up the core human personality. Further, these four expressions of the human personality correspond roughly to four major areas of the brain. This is an important consideration as it means we can “check in” with each of the four core parts to see if each are in relationship with God and if not, we can work to resolve the conflicts which are keeping any parts of our hearts separated from loving relationship with Jesus.
The 4 Core Parts or Personality Aspects are:
TRUE SELF - The aspect of the heart and mind that has the capacity to connect most strongly with God. (Primarily associated with the Pre-Frontal Cortex.)
FUNCTION: The aspect of the heart and mind that does the daily functioning of life and often stays disconnected from painful memory. (Primarily associated with the Left Hemisphere.)
EMOTION - The aspect of the heart and mind that is most closely connected to pain, trauma, and unresolved emotions. (Primarily associated with the Right Hemisphere.)
GUARDIAN - The aspect of the heart and mind that believes the Emotion and Function parts of the heart must be kept apart, or else the Function part will be too overwhelmed to do any daily functioning—and so is devoted to keeping them apart. (Primarily associated with the Amygdala.)
The HeartSync Approach consists of the following steps:
1. Education
2. Opening Prayer (with Praise and Appeal for Protection)
3. Divine Encounter (or Connection)
4. Appreciation Exercise (including the five senses)
5. Explore: Work with the Presenting Part to resolve conflicts and spiritual assignments
6. Expand: Work to expand the Divine Encounter by progressively inviting the other Core Parts into relationship with Jesus—working to resolve conflicts and spiritual assignments until all the heart is in loving relationship with God
7. Return to Divine Encounter
8. Closing Prayer
