Transcript: Aligning Mind and Heart
Yana: Hello and welcome to another episode of Timeless Teachings Podcast, where we have conversations from experts all over the world about human advancement, consciousness, and self mastery. Today we have a very interesting guest with us. Her name is Nathalie Collard Lepetier, and she is from France originally, Nathalie and I met in Singapore. This is where she has been living and working for a while right now. And Nathalie describes herself, or actually I describe her this way, as a person who is exploring and seeking truth and understands also quantum fields and quantum realities.
She’s also an author and a businesswoman, and she works with a lot of business leaders in the corporate world, helping them to align their mind and their hearts, and particularly learning how to lead from the future with the heart. Now if you’re wondering, what is that? And how do we do this? And what are we talking about here? So this is exactly what we’re going to explain. So Natalie, thank you so much for joining us.
Nathalie: Thank you, Yana and I’m really honoured to be participating in your fantastic program. And I’m sure we will have a very interesting conversation for our audience who is listening to us.
Yana: We’re gonna say that today we are gonna engage and stimulate both, your left and your right brain. So to make sure that we look at the concept holistically. And Natalie, your book, because I found it. It just tells so much about who you are and the work you do. And most importantly, the message that you are sharing with the world. So the exact name of the book is Quantum Heart, A Guide to Lead from the Future.
Nathalie: Yes.
Yana: We dive into the depths. Let’s set some foundation. When we say the word heart, I think people understand. It is beating, it is physical. So it is something very tangible and people know they have it.
Nathalie: Yes, many people understand the heart is a physical abilities, of course, and is like the master of our body in a sense that it’s Guiding all the other organs, it brings life to all the other organs and help to regulate how the body functions, but, the heart has so many other dimensions and the heart is like,the seat of our soul and the only point in our body where we can be in touch with eternity, because the heart is not only a physical, organ, but it’s as well a spiritual, energetical,
The heart has so many layers and is really multidimensional. And so this is important to understand that to then shift to quantum because, and this is how I start my book with, I am bringing back. The knowledge of ancient civilization, for example, and I start my book with the Egyptian, they were keeping the heart and throwing away the brain when they were mummifying the body.
And the Egyptians knew what they were doing. And they are not the only civilization to, to think really and to consider the heart as the master. And our journey together to today is to bring back that knowledge and be able to have a brain and heart functioning in thought, but with the heart leading the way.
Yana: I love that.
Nathalie: Yeah, it’s really important to introduce the heart in all these aspects before mentioning the quantum, quantum world, because, quantum heart, quantum field, all of that is described by science.
And there is a lot of documentation and we are going to go even further in what we discover about the quantum possibilities. and why I choose this word because I could have, I could have chosen sacred heart or, but quantum is what describes. In a scientific way, what ancient civilization has always known, like it’s the science that is helping us understand today what has always been known by humanity. We have just forgotten, so what is important to understand is that this is another dimension of space time. This is a dimension where everything is interconnected, entangled, and there is instant manifestation, instant realisation, instant understanding, because Time and space do not function in a linear way.
Yana: completely different approach. And there is a lot of,scientific research on that subject, but one which is really interesting is, the work of, Erwin Leslow, who wrote about the So Akashic field, which is another way of describing the quantum field, or the field of information, and it’s, it’s really, it has been known for aeons, and, in the Indian,Understanding of the world.
Nathalie: they had the Akashik records for them, there is no question of existence. it’s real. So it’s just another understanding of reality. Another way to look at reality. It’s another level of consciousness. It all starts with us and this is why I wrote about our quantum heart and I wanted to threaten the fact that we are multidimensional.
We have, we have access to so many layers of reality, and the journey today and the challenge of humanity today is to really embrace. That ability to function with a very analytical, rational approach, but at the same time in sync with an intuitive, and embracing and perceiving, ability. So both are in sync.
Yana: So right now, when we were describing the quantum heart, there’s a lot about non visible and metaphysical quantum fields around us.
But I think what is very important for our audience is to know that you actually also have a very solid business background. That perhaps when people look at you today, they might not guess it, especially given the work that you do. But you are actually able to do it. The work that you are doing because you have years and years of experience in the corporate world.
So can you just give us a little bit of information about this so we all understand and have a better understanding of you as a human being?
Nathalie: Yes. I started my working life in a very corporate business environment. I have always been a good student, a good girl, and always aiming for the first, Place. And I was very competitive and very successful and working with big global corporations. But in that I completely forgot and shut down all my intuitive abilities.
I really was, trying hard to cope with the system. And, sometimes we, when you are trying too hard to cope with the system that is not. ecologic for you at one point, something happens, your body sends messages. And this is why today in the corporate environment, we see a lot of depression, a lot of burnout, because we have reached a point where we went too far in controlling, and trying to push and control everything. Right now we are facing a challenge. A big challenge is the question of how we can Thrive, but at the same time, honour the planet Earth that is hosting us.
And this is why we see all this, this, debates about sustainability and even regenerative business. And this is coming big because it’s. consciousness calls for us to engage, now we can’t ignore that we are living in the living environment.
And we are very connected to earth and The way we approach business today can’t be the same. We cannot use all the resources of the planet without giving back. Because life is a dynamic, dynamic system, giving, receiving, giving and receiving. And by only Taking we don’t honour life and if we don’t honour life,we, we shut down, this property, cycle.
And it’s very important today, even in a corporate environment, to understand that, to strive for everybody and everything needs to strive. to come back to my background, I, so I was in the corporate world very, successful, but then, I had a health issue and I had to question everything. And I took a step back and I started to work on myself and to question why, and I went deep because the questioner ended up with why I am on earth.
What is the meaning of life
Yana: And, how can I contribute? And in this way, I, I,could address many layers of myself and many, Disbelief, maybe many, blockages, many, wrong beliefs. So I could access the core of my being and be able to make decisions and to lead my life from the core of my being from who I am really with pure intention and,intention to do good because at the end, when we leave this life what do we leave behind?
Nathalie: What’s, what is our, testimonial for us? So what is important is how we can engage to help others. Connection is the most important and, our connection between all is the most important, what we can give to the other. And at the end of the day, it’s not money that is making us happy.
It’s a big smile, it’s sparkling eyes, it’s how we can help another being. Being it in a business environment or in our personal life, it’s the same. We are whole here to create together. And this is why today in the corporate world. We need to really introduce, like this, this creativity, this ability.
Each of us is a genius. If we are in touch with our true essence, with who we are, and if we can express, our creative potential because today, facing all the collapses and, and change in, all, all straight of, all area of, society, economic, social, political, everything, has to be reinvented, but.
And this is where the future is very important because today we cannot create new solutions, by only projecting from the past. Here’s my point. if we create only from the past and from our learning experience from the past, great. We will find new solutions, but it won’t be enough today.
We need to be super innovative. And the only way is to create as well from the future.
Yana: Yes, Natalie. Beautiful. And as we are coming to this we’ll have a question. How do I do that? So when we talk about creating from the future and using the quantum heart, maybe you could give us a few examples. for someone who would love to make decisions from the future, both at work, maybe at home and their life.
give us some tools.
Nathalie: First of all, if we can access the past, we can access the future. We are like antennas, always. In connection with the field, the quantum field, the field of information.
We are receiving and emitting. And living from the future, learning from the future, creating from the future. It’s just, it’s just focusing the antenna in a different direction. And on another layer of the field. Today there is a lot of literature about the mind, and how to create in the quantum field with the mind because the mind is very powerful and can create anything.
The only problem if we only address the mind and create from the mind is that we are not sure we go in the correct direction. Hence, today, This big debate of how do we cope with AI, and instead of being pro or against, the thing is that okay, embrace it and create with it and but in a very aligned way.
And when I mean aligned is Body, mind, and heart, but with the heart at the centre, the heart leading the way. This is very important. Otherwise, we go in a direction that is probably not,sustainable and not regenerative for Earth and for humanity. how to do that?
Yana: and just especially I want to add here when we talk mind, heart, body alignment, it’s a huge topic. And I think everyone would love to learn and understand how to do that. I think people understand leading from the heart, but they don’t always know how do you align your mind and your body with
Nathalie: Exactly. Exactly. you were asking me of, of, tools and, how to do that. The easiest, quickest, safest way is to connect to nature, to earth. This is the easiest way. Put your bare feet on the ground. In the grass, look at the trees, look at all that is alive around us, and there is science beyond heat.
It’s just, it’s not just a piece of advice. There is a whole science behind it and I developed that in my book. it’s a question of frequency and vibration is as natural as alive. The frequency trees, plants, and animals, birds are emitting is high. And so by engaging with nature, but not being on our phone or thinking,Our body, mind, and heart immediately align to a higher vibration. It’s automatic. And it’s interesting because you can refer to the Hartmut Institute, which I mention in my book, because they have done a huge amount of research on how the heart isthe most powerful organ of our body. And now the heart can help us shift within, and be, in sync with, with our environment, with nature.
We are, at the end, we are vibration, we are, information, our body,we see the material body, but we are so much more than that, and so it’s interesting because when you realise that, then you understand that if you engage with the living, the living environment, then And the, there is a shift, an inner shift, an inner peace is coming immediately.
So the first thing is to really engage with nature. The second thing will be to synchronise the brain and the heart. this is. very easy to do. It’s just by focusing on the breath, and having the breath really go in the centre of our heart, and then bringing back, uplifting positive emotions, bringing them back.
Because when we shift the focus from the breath, the mind, our soul, our feelings, to the body, to the heart, to the place within, and After a while, there is a sense of peace that is settling in. It’s just taking the time to really focus. And from all these years working with these people, it’s incredible because just by closing your eyes, focusing on the breath, and coming to your centre, something happens.
You shift. In a different state of consciousness. Why? Because we are so used to being engaged in the world. and, in the doing, in the doing, in the deciding, in the coping with the whole what is happening. So when we close the eyes, shift the focus on the breath, and then go to the heart, immediately something happens.
Something happens. we change, really our biology, we change everything. It’s really easy to do and very simple, very quick. So that will be a
Yana: demonstrate it. Let’s
Nathalie: Exactly. I was
Yana: yes, let’s maybe just take two, three minutes of time. So if also our audience who is listening or watching
Nathalie: Yes. My pleasure. Yeah.
Yana: Let’s do that. Let’s do this. So we show it once again. So that everyone understands. So the reason why we’re doing this is we’re bringing this attention into their heart.
Did they understand correctly the way you’re sharing it? Probably it will be one of the first steps to align the heart, mind, and body. So let’s do the first step.
Nathalie: Exactly. I am very pleased that you asked, Yana, because usually I always start with that when I talk, but we did it a different way. So I’m going to just demonstrate. So I’m, I invite you to close your eyes and bring the focus to your breath. Inhale, exhale, and just release all the tensions. The fear, the blockages, and inhaling again. Exhale, inhale, and just let your breath go down into your chest to your heart, the centre of your heart. Exhale and release the tensions. You can even place your hands on your heart. And there, imagine a beautiful rose in the centre of your heart. And with every breath, the rose is opening up even more. And now. Bring back a beautiful image of yourself, very happy, very peaceful, and place this image in the centre of your heart. Observe the beautiful emotions of joy, love, serenity, spreading from your heart, everywhere in your body, starting from your brain, the left side of the brain, and the right side of the brain, and then your face. And from there to your whole body, feel each and every cell of your body vibrating with these beautiful emotions. And then break back the focus to your breath, and let it move slowly down your body, down, down, down to your feet. And feel your feet solid on the ground, very grounded. Feel your roots under your feet. Feet. Feel your connection to earth. And observe this new alignment, your body, your mind, your heart, working in sync, take another breath and slowly open your eyes.
Yana: Beautiful. With this, you guided people into their heart space and very deep physical presence. And
Nathalie: Yes,
Yana: That’s the first step when we’re talking about their heart, mind and body alignment.
Nathalie: exactly.
Yana: how do we bring our minds into this?
Nathalie: When you make decisions, right? So now that we are very embodied in our heart,
it’s, now that we are embodied and really, aligned, this is very easy. When you have a decision to make, if it’s fully aligned, it will be super quick. It will come fast and it won’t be questionable.
Okay. And then, this is a creative mind working or an intuitive mind. And then you take that and you see how you can include it in your scope.
In a sense that you don’t need, we have this weird relationship with time, we are very impatient and we are very dependent on time. And actually in my book, there are two chapters about time because, you can have this, this instant knowing this intuition, this, but the thing is that when the brain comes back into, into the play.
Then we want to do it now. We want to, we want to achieve.we want to push it forward. Instead of letting it unfold in its own time. It’s a complete shift. It’s a different way of working. It’s, okay, I have the insight. This is giving me direction, a new disruptive direction.
But now, okay, I take my decision knowing that this is the vision I had. This is a vision. This is an inspiration. And I take my decision, rational decision, having that in mind, so it’s really playing with both and not, completely, disregarding all what was done before. No, we need to include.
the past and the experience and, what we have been before in the scope. But having this vision in mind and then playing with time, because actually, and this is a very important,subject is when you are. Aware of the quantum field, the information field, and life, I would say, to make it easier, life informs you. So you lead from your heart. Okay. You have this inspiration. Okay. So then, what do you do with that? is that you allow life to play and surprise you with new encounters, new possibilities. Connection, new connections that you, you would never have made before, because once you have this vision, you have a new way of looking at reality, at your environment, at people you meet, and somebody you would have met before, for example, that you would have, it was not relevant, but suddenly because you have this vision, you are like, oh, this is weird, because It’s, somewhere I feel it has to do with what I saw.
The thing is to play with life. and this is something I really wanted to present. We hear a lot, there is a lot of literacy about creating the future. Okay, creating the future. But creating the future comes from a place of will inside us. We want to create the future.
Okay, but it’s a fully different posture. To be here and there, very present, feel that you are here to serve something bigger than you, here to serve, and to let the field and the future inform you. It’s completely different. It doesn’t come from a place of will. It comes from a place of, of,being in a giving, receiving dynamic.
It’s completely different. it’s coming from the heart space.
Yana: It’s really like a, of, giving, honouring and wanting to be part of something bigger, And when we do that, so when we connect to our heart and we brought mind and we understood our decision and allow the life to talk to us and give us signs and guidance, The body, right? So we said, it’s also important to build or to bring your physical body along. So how do we make sure that body is aligned with where we’re
Nathalie: yes. Yeah. and it’s very important. The body is our temple. it’s really. our tool to engage with life and to hone life.
And so the body is the most important and it starts with the body because the mind,there is a lot of speed and it’s, yeah, accelerating us, whereas the body is giving us a rhythm. The body knows before the mind knows. our body is functioning in sync with the mind.
Earth with the moon, the sun, so many, with everything, our body, as above, so below, and this is exactly that, our body is a reflection of the whole universe, and our body is Sending, signals, us clues. So like when we have goosebumps, when we have,a contraction in the guts or when we feel so throat, all of that is, is signals from our body that it’s an invitation to go with it and understand fear what is happening because the body is, Inviting us to stop some time when we need to pause and reflect, but it has well giving us the energy to move forward when we need to engage. And so it’s really, the body is super important and what is happening right now with the speed of change, with all what is happening in the world, with all the fear that’s, that is everywhere in the world.
Our nervous system. Is very exposed. our nervous system is the one that is challenged right now. And it’s super important to take care of our nervous system. Otherwise, what happens is that we burn them, we cannot function anymore. There is too much happening and so it’s, to be centred in the heart is important, but to take care of the body and to take care of the nervous system is super important.
And this comes with drinking enough, eating good food, breathing, exercising. and it’s. Much more important than any other task we could do. Because if we do, perhaps we take all our decisions and all our actions are coming from a place of anxiety, fear,and, and, where to achieve.
there’s too much tension on our body. It’s too much. We need to slow down and, I’m sure you all, experience that when you walk or when you are really focused on an activity. This is where inspiration comes. Intuition comes, insight comes, it’s when we slow down and when we do an activity that we love, that brings joy, because joy is, is what, is the fire that is moving in our body, joy is fueling the heart, joy is Helping us achieve what we want to do. If there is no joy, the results would be poor.
So it’s really important to engage the body with joyful activities. just to live. For example, parents just take time with their children because, we bring up the kids very often, and we have the professional commitment and we forget, but the most important is taking time for our dear ones.
And by doing that, joy is activating. And this is helping us in all areas of our life. and this is why today the path is to, is to feel whole. So instead of separating it to bring everything back into balance, we were used in the past to have a professional life, then a personal life, then a social life.
Now, it’s to bring everything into wholeness, into oneness, and understand that it’s always us. We cannot, fragmentation is for our soul. It’s very sad. it brings sadness, it brings sorrow, and this is a low vibration. Whereas joy, and if we are feeling whole, and being like who we are in all areas of our life.
And we don’t need to be perfect. We need to be perfect. This is it, and,
This book I wrote because I wanted to give hope and to open to a universe of possibilities. And I wanted to. each and every one of us to know that we are responsible.
We are responsible for our life. We are responsible for our choices. We are responsible for everything. And we should really question when we give our power to a system, to a belief, to another person. We really, it’s, today, it’s super important to bring back our power to us. It’s a very empowering path.
Yana: you so much. That was such a wonderful conversation. And I’m sure that the audience learned a lot. We. We talked about many things and you dived really deep in, in many things, but fundamentally, again, we were talking about the quantum wisdom and the wisdom of the heart and how do we align our mind, body, and heart.
And you said when we lead from the future with full alignment, but we are leading from the heart. So this is very important. And so I love all your examples. And also there’s the beautiful exercise that I would also encourage our audience to listen to and do it again. And it is also something that you could do as your daily practice.
It’s wonderful. Let’s say when you wake up in the morning before you start your day, you can just listen to this practice and you can do that. It centres you and your heart for the entire day. And I love all your just wisdom and your insights and perceptions about how it’s all about unity. And we are bringing everything together and it’s important that we know who we are.
We are comfortable with who we are and we have the courage to show up in the world the way we are unapologetically, just the way you are. It is a wonderful example. And I also just want to add here that each person has their own style and their own way of living life. And,when I hear stories of people who spent so many years in the corporate world and then usually get sick, it is very common and then decided to do something else, which would be more like in a holistic realm and in the wellness realm, I just also want to say it’s a little bit like with the money.
So money itself is not evil. It is how people deal with that often creates problems And so the same is the corporate world. The corporate system is not evil and the society needs structure to survive. Otherwise they’re going to be chaos. And this is probably just a message to people who are finding themselves right now in a corporate system.
You are actually the ones who are the insiders of the system. It means that you are the people who have the highest chance to change it from inside because you are part of it. And especially if you have a leadership role and you have a role that influences other people. So that’s why it’s so important to do this kind of work and understanding.
So when you make decisions which are more aligned with the heart and the future, as Natalie, you were saying today, then you also bring all people in your company with you. I just find this like a very important point that, wherever you are in life, it’s perfect. And what we are doing here is that it’s important to bring these more tools and alignment and mindfulness and quantum realities so that you can become a better leader.
Nathalie: Thank you. I just want to add that one person, one person, one leader can change everything because this is the beauty of it. is that the hearts. The heart field, the heart energy is so powerful that living with your heart, it can change everything.
So it’s super important today, super important because the corporate world is super important to create another way of living on, on, on our planet.
Yana: Yes. And as we say, the power is with the people these days and also with the private sector, right? And the private sector is often the business sector and corporate world. So people often tend to place. a lot of faith and hopes into the hands of government,
Nathalie: It’s a little bit like looking up to the parents and saying, do something for me.
Yana: I think it’s also time that we all need to grow up. And just as you said today. Realise that it is our responsibility and we take responsibility for ourselves, for our lives, our families and our businesses and our society. Then we create a future which is more inclusive and aligned and welcoming for everyone.
So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And to
Nathalie: who is listening to us today, so please, I would strongly recommend re-listening to the episode again. There were a lot of things here and there that sometimes when we listen for the first time, the mind doesn’t fully catch. So it’s important when we go and listen again.
Yana: And also, as I always say, I’m a big believer in taking actions. So when you listen to the conversation and the action could be outwards or inwards, you can at least start with reflecting what is happening within your life and within your mind, within your heart. And I’m just wishing you an amazing journey on this reflection.
Natalie, thank you for being today.
Nathalie: thank you, thank you very much,
