HeartMath® System

As a 1 to 1 ProviderWhat is the HeartMath® System?
The HeartMath® System is a program that teaches new ways of dealing with negative thoughts and emotions. By disengaging from what is negative within us, and focusing instead on our heart and the area around our heart, we take the first step in changing how we think and feel. This simple yet profound change creates new neuro pathways in our brain; and the more we practice, the stronger the new pathways become. The outdated previous ways of thinking and feeling begin to fade away. We really do become what we think about, and the science of neuro-anatomy can now prove it through the use of sophisticated brain scanning devices that show how the brain behaves.
The HeartMath® System provides tools that everyone can learn and use, even children. And the tools offer relief from the negative effects of stress, a broader perspective on solving problems, enhancement of the learning process and performance, and much more.
Here is what one 14 year old boy said after participating in a HeartMath® seminar I presented to a Special Education Class in Danbury, CT:
“I thought the problems in my family were hopeless.
Now I have hope in my heart.”Research borne out of the science of neurocardiology gives us a new view of how the heart operates and influences us.
The physical heart is the size of a fist, with four chambers. It beats about 72 beats a minute, more than 100,000 times a day, pumps oxygenated blood to the brain and other organs of the body. In utero the heart begins beating all by itself, without any signals from the central nervous system; and science does not yet know how this happens.
The biographical heart remembers everyone and everything we’ve ever loved.
The emotional heart sustains actual physical wounds from suffering loss.
The intelligent heart has it’s own mini-brain and nervous system with which to consider problems and make decisions which are different from those made by the brain.
The spiritual heart senses the meaning and purpose of your life and offers you wisdom and guidance.
The relational heart communicates with and influences other hearts and brains with whom it comes into contact.
IS STRESS GETTING YOU DOWN…
“…the American Institute of Stress reported that 75% to 90% of all visits to health care practitioners were due to stress-related disorders; and the Mayo Clinic concluded that psychological stress was the strongest indicator of future cardiac events.”
...from The Heart Speaks, Mimi Guarneri, M.D. FACC
The kind of stress that poses the highest risk for damaging the mind body system comes from the small, seemingly insignificant, irritations that bombard us every day. Damage, as it is occurring, is often imperceptible – this is why stress is called the silent killer.
TAKE CONTROL…
The chronic stress (flight or fight) response, which is so damaging to health, is within your control more than you may realize. Learning how to relax and release negative thoughts is only part of the story. Once achieved, sustaining it through the ups and downs of daily life is the real trick.
SURVIVAL TOOLS THAT REALLY WORK…
The HeartMath® System is a scientifically validated system of stress intervention techniques. People learn how to reverse the physical effect of stress in the moment by using the power of their heart. Benefits include, but are not limited to, increased and sustained metal clarity, creativity, learning potential, intuition, positive emotional states, vitality, relationship satisfaction, and balance in the mind-body system.
