Mysteries of the Heart

The HeartMath Institute () shares fascinating understandings of the human heart, as explored in their nearly three decades of research. The ’Did You Know’ facts are lesser-known gems of information to enlighten curiosity on how your own thoughts and emotions are affecting yourself and others. HMI Research Director, Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., says, “It’s important to take a pause and really consider what our emotions are contributing to our environment and to other people. Our research and its applications can help people create a positive emotion-based environment that has real effects on physiology.“ McCraty said that the true nature of human emotion is one of care and love. He said HeartMath’s and others’ research shows that by focusing on these core heart-felt emotions, it can enhance one’s connection with others, and that this connection extends far beyond the individual.
