Learning the Language of the Heart
ByAs I work with clients on healing their heart issues, it occurs to me that learning to understand how the (nonphysical) heart works is like learning a new language.
Recently we had an exchange student from Spain living with us. As Teresa tried to communicate in English and we in Spanish, it was awkward, funny, and frustrating at times. My daughter and I struggle to roll our r's, and I suspect Teresa wonders what's the big deal.
You may feel the same awkwardness about learning the language of the heart.
What I love about languages is the way it opens up your perspective. Though you're dealing with words, it goes beyond words to a whole way of perceiving. That is the enriching part. For instance, when I call my cat "Gatita," there is no exact English equivalent that captures the warm affection "-ita" expresses.
As you learn this new "language of the heart," it will expand your perception of yourself, other people, and the world. The "grammar" of this language, as I wrote elsewhere, is governed by association, images, metaphors. To learn this language, you must be open to these non-linear, non-logical ways of thinking.
The language of the heart is largely governed by feelings. It's the feelings that we trace to the memory. The feeling is the clue. It's also the energy that is causing the negative frequency, the stress signal that's causing your cells to go into "closed, death mode" rather than "open, growth mode."
So to learn this language, you start with feeling. You are open to seemingly illogical things, such as a certain color sparking panic. A client began to tune in to the fact that she had a stress reaction to the color red. Why? She had no idea. We traced it to an infant memory of terror associated with the color red. As that healed, her overall stress level went down dramatically.
Dreams can give us big clues as to what the heart wants to heal. Again, you're looking for images and feelings. One client shared a dream with me and it became clear that her heart wanted her to heal some fear memories concerning her father.
If you commit to learning the language of the heart, your heart will begin to send you more and more clues. It's quite fun, actually. Of course, if you need a little help decoding, feel free to contact me for a coaching session.

William,
You’re welcome! I can’t help it–I’ve always been a writer. (Author of 11 books, you know. One of them is Abundant Gifts–the book of my heart.)
This is so true, Diane! Last night, I took my teenage daughter to her piano lesson. It was dark outside at that point and because her lesson is only 30 minutes long, I decided to sit in my dark car and do an "extended version" of the Custom Code you gave me for her while I waited for the lesson to end. Using a CD that I made of the downloadable 35 second chimes (available on the Healing Code web site), I was able to sit in my dark car, completely relaxed, doing the Custom Code. It's always when I am in that state of utter relaxation and meditation doing the Codes without fear of interruption that the most fun/rewarding things happen! Sure enough, I received the most amazing vision of something that was said at a Lamaze class my husband (her dad) and I attended when I was about 8 months pregnant with her which, I believe, is THE ANSWER I've been looking for to help her breakthrough the problem for which I requested the Custom Code (coincidentally, in my prayer just before starting the Custom Code, I told God that I was tired of trying to figure out why my daughter has this problem–and that I was just turning the whole thing over to Him–but that I would appreciate any insight He would give me!). I am SO excited about this breakthrough! Your article explains how to receive these breakthroughs and I agree 100% that it is actually FUN, as well as unbelievably beneficial in healing!
Mary Beth,
Thank you for sharing this. Your story also shows how prayer also plays a part in this process. God graciously revealed something (and I note that it was after you surrendered to him).
I wanted to add another comment that seemed appropriate to post here. I had another Custom Code session with Diane, yesterday. We were discussing the issue I wanted to address, when Diane suggested an aspect to this issue which I had never before considered (another bonus of working with a Healing Codes Coach!). So during my prayer before starting the Custom Code, I was trying to think of past events from my daughter's childhood that might fit with the emotion Diane had suggested; but I was unable to come up with anything, so once again, I just relaxed and turned it over to God, asking him to reveal any significant past events that I should include when asking for a healing of my daughter's heart-issues related to her current physical problem. Well, to my shock, surprise and delight, I was literally given a vast mental slide-show of significant events involving my daughter, which exactly matched the key emotion Diane had suggested! I never would have thought of those events on my own (or it might have been a much longer process, at best). I am so excited to now be able to include those events in my request for healing of my daughter's heart issues related to her physical problem. Thank you, Diane!
Thank you for sharing this process of how prayer works with doing Healing Codes. The process does seem to open us up to God in a new way, and this is an example of how he then “speaks.”
