plays an important role in the production of emotion. With every beat, the heart transmits
complex patterns of neurological, hormonal, pressure, and electromagnetic information to the
brain and throughout the body. Consequently, our hearts are a powerful entry point into the
network that connects body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
Although psycho-physiological coherence is a natural state that can occur spontaneously
while people are feeling positive emotions, sustained periods are generally rare. Doc Childre
and the research team at the Institute of HeartMath (IHM) have found that techniques which
combine intentional heart focus with the generation of sustained positive feelings can lead to
lasting physical, mental, and emotional benefits.
