Inroads In Trauma Treatment: Self-Regulating Emotions “The subjective experience of trauma is unique and varies according to the individual and the type of trauma. What does not vary is the fact that trauma often results in a devastating intrusion into a wished for life of peace, calm and well-being along with a corresponding unexpected and undesired fragmented sense of self and of life in general.” – Abstract of a research
The Heart – An Agent of Transformation It is no secret that our world is changing fast. As you face this period of accelerated change, do you feel you have the tools you need to deal with and adjust to all that is happening?

It has only been five decades since scientists began to alter their long-held belief that the human body’s cells, tissues and organs, particularly the heart, strive to maintain a constant static or steady state. “We now know that the normal resting rhythm of the heart is highly variable rather than being monotonously regular, which was the widespread notion for many years,” write the authors of a new article slated to
Heart rate variability (HRV), which is at the core of research the HeartMath Institute conducts, is a measure of the naturally occurring beat-to-beat changes in heart rate/heart rhythms. It serves as a critical method for gauging human health and resiliency. “The study of heart rate variability,” according to HeartMath’s signature work, Science of the Heart, “is a powerful, objective and noninvasive tool to explore the dynamic interactions between physiological, mental,
Core HeartMath research and principals figured prominently in a recent doctoral research project that explored whether heart-focused internal prayer-compassion meditation could contribute to personal and communal healing. “Can a heart-focused formal and informal contemplative practice of tuning in and identifying with indwelling life force energy, or spirit as one’s deepest, truest self, contribute to healing?” That was the central question in a program designed by doctor-of-ministry candidate the Rev. Catherine Mary Quehl-Engel. Quehl-Engel conducted her project
