Host: Sheryl Glick R.M.T.
Special Guest: Baptist De Pape
In today’s episode of Healing from Within, your host, Sheryl Glick, author of The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love, welcomes Baptist de Pape, author of The Power of the Heart (http://www.thepoweroftheheart.com/). Baptist has assembled a collaboration of wisdom from leading spiritual thinkers, authors and scientists of our time such as Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Gary Zukav and many others who have all discovered the Heart is more than a physical organ and we can access a source of love and wisdom from the inner Being or essence of the heart that far surpasses that of the Mind.
Baptist and Sheryl will discuss as Baptist has written, that the voice of our hearts can bring about an astonishing transformation of our views of money, health, relationships and other aspects of life. Baptist De Pape born in Brasschaat, Belgium, is a spiritual explorer author and filmmaker. After graduating from the University of Tilburg Law School in the Netherlands, he traveled around the globe to interview the world’s greatest teachers for the film and book The Power of the Heart.
Baptist mentions that as a high achieving student, he was paralyzed with anxiety. Sheryl mentions that as a Reiki energy teacher, many of the people that come to her are sensitive or greatly in tune with the feelings of the heart and the spiritual universal understanding of Oneness Unity and the interconnection of all living beings to each other and to all of life. However it is only by becoming aware of their own energy force spirit through coincidences and synchronicity and the traumas of a physical life that they begin to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out we are all healers and need to learn ways to utilize this heart energy or soul presence for keeping ourselves healthy while moving towards self-actualization and our own hero’s journey.
Baptist tells us he was unable to sign a contract with a law firm after finishing school. He saw Oprah Winfrey interview Eckhart Tolle on a web class about finding one’s true purpose in life. Baptist says that changed his path completely. “When Tolle said that we should all think about what life wants from us rather than what we want from life…he had a sudden insight that part of his purpose in life was to investigate the power of the heart and make a film about it.
Sheryl shares the story of being called at work to see Oprah interviewing Gary Zukav author of The Seat of the Soul and having a similar feeling… “ Since I was now aware that we were functioning from our heart essence as well as the mind and aligned to an eternal life force “Spirit” Going from spirit to life and life returning to Spirit. I knew in that moment I must write a book to share my awakening process and being called as we all are called to remember that we are both an energy presence and a body! Life provides us with the experiences we need to refine our heart energy becoming more humane and compassionate no matter what the outside world brings into our experience. Many of the people I have met or observed over time and interviewed on Healing From Within like the people in Baptist’s new book are messengers and inspirational personalities who light the way forward for those who would make better choices if they clearly understood who they were and the possibilities for living their best life.”
Baptist says “The power of the heart is an inexhaustible source of love, wisdom and intelligence that is inside everyone and accessible to everyone. It far surpasses the power of the intelligence of the mind and is your true identity and authentic power. When you are connected with it the power of your heart will help you find your purpose in life and live your best life, and will change your attitudes and beliefs on how you think about money, health, relationships and success.”
