Heart Field: An electromagnetic field produced through the heart that can be detected sever al feet from the individual. Many believe that conscious awareness originates in the brain alone. Recent scientific research suggests that consciousness actually emerges from the brain and body acting togethe...

Heart-rate-variability or heart-rhythm feedback is a versatile and cost-effective technology that has broad-based applications in clinical, academic, workplace and sports settings for enhancing health and human performance. Heart-rhythm-coherence feedback training can be used easily to promote a psy...

Throughout history and across diverse cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions, the heart has been associated with spiritual influx, wisdom, and emotional experience, particularly with regard to other-centered, positive emotions such as love, care, compassion, and gratitude. Current research pr...

Using 99 ninth grade students as participants, this study employed a between-group experimental design to investigate the impact of positive emotional refocusing—a method developed by the Institute of HeartMath (the Freeze Frame method)—on heart rate variability (HRV), emotional int...

Objectives This study aims to contribute to a scientific understanding of intuition, a process by which information normally outside the range of conscious awareness is perceived by the psychophysiological systems. The first objective, presented in two empirical papers (Part 1 and Part 2), was...

This chapter will focus on electromagnetic fields generated by the heart that permeate every cell and may act as a synchronizing signal for the body in a manner analogous to information carried by radio waves. Particular emphasis will be devoted to evidence demonstrating that this energy is not only...

Learn about the heart brain. The author, pioneer neurocardiologist/researcher Dr. J. Andrew Armour details the anatomy and physiology of the cardiac nervous system in this 19-page technical monograph. Groundbreaking research in the field of neurocardiology has established that the heart is a sensory...

Using a single-subject multiple baseline design across participants, this study examined the impact of computer-assisted biofeedback to promote engagement of students diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder. The study was conducted in a public school classroom setting. Specifically the on-task...

Objectives This study examined the impact of a workplace-based stress management program on blood pressure (BP), emotional health, and workplace-related measures in hypertensive employees of a global information technology company. Design Thirty-eight (38) employees with hypertension were randomly a...
