e can broadly categorize inner state into what goes on in the heart and mind. In reality,

they are not distinct, but rather two parts of a whole, and together they constitute

the vibrational field within us. The state of this field is what we refer to as our inner

state. It can also be understood as the conglomeration of all our feelings, emotions, thoughts

and ideas. The above picture shows a framework for the inner state that was introduced in “The

Heartful Negotiator” [https://www.heartfulnessmagazine.com/heartful-negotiator-part-1/].
