I hit the jackpot recently through the discovery of Dawna Jones and the various captivating pies she has her fingers in.
The first thing I looked at was her blog, Evolutionary Provocateur (“Provoking the emergence of spiritual intelligence, self and organizational self-knowledge … so people can take their whole selves to work”). Her September 9th blog post, “Intuition Demystified,” explores scientific findings about intuition. I followed a link from it to an interview she did with Dr. Rollin McCraty of the Institute of HeartMath. The interview, “Intuition: Mystical power or powerful tool?” had me listening with my mouth hanging open much of the time. I was fascinated by Dr. McCraty and the Institute’s findings about documented connections between feelings and thoughts, between the heart and the mind, between people, and between now and the future. For instance, the heart has been shown to be the first part of the body to be aware of “pre-conscious events” (a.k.a., the future). In one study, the heart’s pre-conscious reaction occurred about six seconds before the event itself.
Dawna Jones’ interview with Dr. McCraty is available through a website called Management-Issues (“The heart of a changing workplace”), a British site that’s packed with information about healthy work, including links to the Workplace Bullying network of websites, one of which is the Workplace Bullying Institute. If you’re being bullied at work, you’ll find support and practical suggestions at these sites. Although I’m not bullied at work and haven’t explored the bullying sites extensively, the information they provide appears to be useful. If any of you are being bullied at work and you do look into these websites, I’d love to know what you think of them.
Enough. Happy clicking.
