For most of modern history, scientists treated the heart as just a pump. Smart, sure. Essential, absolutely. But a source of intelligence? Of emotion? Of learning? That idea was dismissed — sometimes openly ridiculed — for decades. Meanwhile, many teachers and parents already knew better.
Study Validates Effectiveness of Heart Lock-In Technique The Heart Lock-In® Technique, one of HeartMath’s earliest tools, has helped individuals and groups increase heart-rhythm coherence for many years. Now a study* has validated the tool’s effect on synchronization between the heart and geomagnetic activity, which is significant because this synchronization is associated with better health. The …
Measuring Workplace Stress – In A New Way Researchers studying the effects of stress on employees undertook a new approach in their research to improve upon what they said may be outdated and obsolete tools for evaluating workplace stress. As a result, they said, some of their findings were "astonishing." The researchers, Adrian Low of the …
Study Uses Paced Deep Breathing to Measure Dutch Workers’ HRV The researchers who conducted a recently published study using a short breathing protocol to measure heart rate variability (HRV) in a large group of Dutch workers say it’s the first of its kind. "This is the first study," the researchers explained, "to explore a 1-minute …
Study Finds a Little Quick Coherence Good for College Students Editor’s note – “Coherence is the state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation. It is a state that builds resiliency – personal energy is accumulated, not wasted, – leaving more energy to manifest intentions and harmonious outcomes.” Dr. Rollin McCraty, HeartMath Institute Know someone about …
Study Shows Geomagnetic Fields and Solar Activity Affect Human Autonomic Nervous System Functions Did you know geomagnetic and solar activity can affect your autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls your breathing, heartbeat and digestive processes? It’s true: A recently published long-term study whose researchers included HeartMath Institute’s Rollin McCraty and Mike Atkinson, reached that conclusion. "These …
Journal Cites, Importance of and Strategies For Social Coherence Being out of sorts, or off our game because of Illness or injury, anger or anxiety or when we become stressed out and overwhelmed can cause deterioration in our personal coherence levels. Likewise, dysfunction within a group – large or small – because of animosity, jealousy, …
Effects of Geomagnetic, Solar and Other Factors on Humans "All biological systems on Earth are exposed to an external and internal environment of fluctuating invisible magnetic fields of a wide range of frequencies. These fields can affect virtually every cell and circuit to a greater or lesser degree." – Synchronization of Human Autonomic Nervous System …
Study Looks at Coherence and Feeling States Researchers at HeartMath Institute and elsewhere have undertaken numerous studies through the years that have demonstrated the ability of HeartMath® tools and technology to help people increase psychophysiological coherence. A recent one was a small study at a South African university in which people attempted to increase their …
