For a number of months I have been hearing about The Institute of HeartMath and have checked out the research and a several videos on their website:  www.heartmath.org.

They are discovering some very remarkable things about the heart. One of the most exciting is that people can change almost their whole experience of life by refocusing onto a positive experience "through their heart". This changes the coherency of the energy coming from the heart and will lead the brain and the rest of the body to synchronize. Needless to say it has huge implications for everyone's lives in the future.

I'm passing along one short article below, but I'm sure you can imagine what this might be able to do for improving every relationship you have with others, especially your loved ones. 

God bless your family and your marriage.

Researchers Discover Your Heart Has A Brain Of Its Own

Sara Childre, The Institute of HeartMath

Did you know that many scientists and researchers today, along with neurocardiologists, believe that the heart, which maintains a constant two-way dialogue and relationship involving many processes with the brain, contains a brain in its own right.

The heart and brain actually influence one another's functioning, and though not commonly known, the heart sends a great deal more information to the brain than the other way around.

The information it sends includes heart signals that can influence a person's perception, emotional experience and higher cognitive functions.

Dr. J. Andrew Armour first introduced the term "heart brain" in 1991. Armour showed that the heart's complex intrinsic nervous system qualified it as a "little brain." This heart brain "is an intricate network of several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins and support cells like those found in the brain proper. Its elaborate circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain - to learn, remember, and even feel and sense." (From the HeartMath.org book, Science of the Heart)

One of the most important discoveries HeartMath researchers made in relation to the heart brain, which HeartMath also calls the intelligent heart, is that "intentionally altering one's emotional state through heart focusing techniques modifies ascending neurological input from the heart to the brain."

This suggests that "as people experience sincere positive feeling states, in which the heart's rhythms become more coherent, the changed information flow from the heart to the brain may act to modify cortical function and influence performance."

"These findings may also help explain the significant shifts in perception, increased mental clarity and heightened intuitive awareness many individuals have reported when practicing the HeartMath techniques."
