Educational programs based on new scientific discoveries about the heart lead to improved emotional stability, cognitive functioning, and academic performance. …

As pervasive as they are in human experience, emotions have long remained an enigma to science. This comprehensive monograph explores recent scientific advances that clarify central controversies in the study of emotion, including the relationship between intellect and emotion, and the historical de...

Cell biologist Dr. Glen Rein had conceived of the idea that DNA would make a good target for testing healers’ ability to affect biological systems, since well established quantitative measures of DNA’s conformational state existed and it potentially offered a more stable and reliable system than cel...

Deciphering the relationships between emotional states and physiological processes is critical to broadening our understanding of consciousness. The purpose of this study was to explore the neurophysiological correlates of specific states of consciousness associated with the experience of sustained...

This fascinating monograph, The Energetic Heart explains the bioelectromagnetic interactions within and between people. Did you know that when you’re not consciously communicating with others, our physiological systems are interacting in subtle and surprising ways? Or that the electromagnetic...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stress management training on quality of life, functional capacity, and heart rate variability in elderly patients with New York Heart Association class I-III congestive heart failure (CHF). While substantial research exists on stress managemen...

The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, provides a reliable measure of autonomic nervous system dynamics that is particularly sensitive to changes in psychophysiological state. Whereas common methods of HRV analysis typically quantify the amount of variability in a given reco...
