Heart Signals

"Research has illuminated that the heart plays a particularly important role in our physical as well as emotional well-being." Janet Carol Ryan quoting research done by HeartMath Institute

The HeartMath Institute researches the effects of emotions on the heart, measures how positive emotions create coherent heart rhythm and how negative emotions create incoherent heart rhythms, and teaches people how to be aware of their emotions and resultant heart rhythms.  What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to consider how our emotions affect our hearts and our overall health.  The research indicates that people practicing positive emotions with this HeartMath method can even affect the well being of other people and the whole planet.  The HeartMath Institute has developed the Attitude Breathing Technique which is comprised of taking five minutes several times a day to::
1. Focus on your heart as you breathe in.
2. Concentrate on a positive feeling or attitude as you breathe out.
3. Lock in this new feeling as you continue to breathe it in and out through your heart.
