There is no resource other than the heart, that is already fully in place.

Does the Heart have a Mind of its Own?
​
For more than 25 years, the HeartMath Institute Research Center has explored the physiological mechanisms by which the heart and brain communicate. It became clear to the researchers that Depleting Emotions lead to increased disorder within the higher-level brain centers and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)—this was measured through Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and proven to adversely affect the functioning of virtually all bodily systems.
It was observed that the Heart acted as if it had a mind of its own and could significantly influence the way we perceive and respond in our daily interactions. In essence, it now appears that the Heart Brain directly affects our awareness, intuition, perception and intelligence.
​
HeartMath skills provide us with the tools to maintain Coherence, regulate our ANS, improve our immune functioning and overall health, while enhancing our connection to Self and the global collective.
Resilience
Resilience is the capacity to prepare for, recover from and adapt in the face of stress, challenge or adversity.
​
Think of it as the amount of energy you have stored in your inner battery. When you have a high level of resilience, or fully charged battery, you are able to remain calm, think clearly and be in control of your emotions. If your inner battery is depleted, it is difficult to be at your best and respond well in tough, or sometimes, even ordinary situations.
