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,
Intuition is the process of perceiving or knowing something without conscious reasoning: knowledge of events such as an act of nature that has yet to happen; or knowledge of a distant material object such as an unseen obstruction blocking the highway ahead. Researchers with the HeartMath Institute and many others who have conducted numerous controlled and scientifically validated studies over more than half a century have expanded the definition of intuition to
What do researchers mean when they talk about heart-brain interactions? Researchers with the HeartMath Institute and other entities have shown that the human heart, in addition to its other functions, actually possesses the equivalent of its own brain, what they call the heart brain, which interacts and communicates with the head brain. This heart brain communicates with the brain via a number of pathways, and the brain in turn communicates with the
