Howard Martin: The Purpose of Your Heart

Howard Martin: The Purpose of Your Heart

OMTimes: Howard, for the past 22 years you are speaking for HeartMath and I quote you: “I want others living in these extraordinary times to experience a greater sense of fulfillment, self-security, health and success so that together we can create a more harmonious world”. What is it after all those years that makes your heart flutter?

Howard Martin:  Right now, for me that I can tap into the appreciation for what’s going on in my life. One of the things that shows up when I do that is an acknowledgement and recognition that my life is still an adventure and that it has no ceiling. When I compare my own life to many other people who are my age, there’s often not a lot of adventure left. They are living in a certain way and it’s comfortable for them and they may be very happy, but for me it’s still an open ended process.

The other thing that’s been up for me a lot more lately, is that I am feeling a deeper love for people and a stronger desire to do whatever I can to help reduce human suffering. It’s just more tangible and visceral for me now. I see things related to human suffering, (I see it on so many different levels) and in order to serve at best I have to remain above the fray. If I immerse myself in that too much then that’s not really going to be effective. My job has never been to join the Peace Corps. Others do that and I support them in that, but my job has never been to do it that way. It had to be done from a truly connected and compassionate place but not one that is immersed in it. That’s my form of service – acknowledging that and refining and fine-tuning that while my heart flutters, like you said. It opens me up to the desire to do everything that I can in my life to help reduce conditions of human suffering that take place in our world today.
