"Appreciation is like looking through a wide-angle lens that lets you see the entire forest, not just the one tree limb you walked up on.

" --Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program

From the Heart

HeartMath studies define a critical link between the heart and brain. The heart is in a constant two-way dialogue with the brain — our emotions change the signals the brain sends to the heart and the heart responds in complex ways. However, we now know that the heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart.

This research explains how the heart responds to emotional and mental reactions and why certain emotions stress the body and drain our energy.
