&ldquoThe HeartMath approach outlined in this [audiobook] could save you years of therapy.” - Deepak Chopra, M.D. What if you could easily. . . Make better decisions? Enhance creativity? Slow down aging? You can! Simply by understanding your heart's intelligence - which has more impact on our emotions, our mind, and our physical health than was ever thought possible. And what if you learned that there is something you can do - potent tools that can channel your heart's intelligence - to live a healthier life with greater potential than ever before? Now, at last, the internationally esteemed Institute of HeartMath shares its research and the revolutionary techniques relied on by prominent physicians and Fortune 500 companies. In this audiobook, the authors offer astonishing proof that the heart has an intelligence, one that profoundly affects our mental and physical health. They have proven that when the heart's intelligence is engaged, it can completely alter our heartbeat, blood pressure, and hormone levels. When we use our brains alone, it is difficult to sift out all the emotions and perceptions that we have. Our bodies react to emotional stimuli that often unbalance us physically and mentally. When we engage the power of our heart's intelligence, then, and only then, can we make the most of our health and our minds. These life-altering techniques will show you how to deepen the qualities long associated with the heart'wisdom, compassion, courage, love, strength, and joy. Read by author Howard Martin on two cassettes.

Summary: A compelling book and tools to get you to coherence
Comment: This is an excellent book and it spells out the scientific proof of the power of the heart to help us find solutions to the complexity of our emotional lives and situations.
I have practised meditation for many years and the tradition I have worked with pints to the power of the compassionate heart to resolve issues and attain insights. This book gives clear evidence along with practical, straight to the point techniques that shows that you don't have to meditate for years to get back to a life of coherence and flow. So many insights and realisations from this book. Many thanks.

Summary: Spiritual Practices with a Secular Coating, I Think
Comment: This book offers three practices. The practices all begin with "breathing through the heart" and then apply the resulting state in various ways:
- "Freeze Frame" interrupts and redirects useless thought-feeling patterns
- "Cut-Thru" slowly or quickly dissolves longstanding problems
- "Heart Lock-In" allows one to rest in, and to share, profoundly good experience
Each of these practices ends with "listening to the intuition of the heart," which may give either insights or next steps to take.
All three work with "the heart," which seems to be both the physical heart whose rhythms can be measured and the experiential heart. Heartmath both works with subjective experience and measures it objectively. From that both-ness comes the surprising name, Heartmath.
I find from trying them that all three practices work. The Freezeframe interruptor really does break into unfortunate cycles of thought and feeling. CutThru does give an easing of long-term issues, though it does not undo them suddenly. And the unfortunately-named Heart Lock-In does seem to be a resting and recharging meditation.
The practices have all been tested empirically. The book is full of graphs of the results, and some of the studies has been published in journals. The authors have been careful to use business-language, speaking of the "efficiency" and "coherence" of different feeling states.
The language and the testing seem to be ways of making very old spiritual practices palatable to skeptical people of our time. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all understand the importance of the breath and the heart to the living being, and so do Hinduism and Buddhism. It appears the creators of Heartmath have translated old wisdom into new and practical forms for our times. Bravo to them!

Summary: Excellent idea
Comment: I find the idea of breathing through the heart extremely helpful in reducing the negative voice in my head. It also helps to get in touch with one's own feelings. Highly recommend it.

Summary: An Answer to Many Questions
Comment: This is a very well thought out and presented book on the nature of the heart, and has many implications for the body/mind principle.
Someone mentioned that the authors did not provide research outside their own internal findings. That doesn't mean that the research is wrong.
Someone mentioned the focus on marketing their own products. I'm 80% done with the book and not one mention of buying any products, although I'm already aware of their personal biofeedback devices which by themselves have great value.
The information provided in this book will enable anyone to step back and reassess how they are responding and reacting to the world around them and inside them. It is a great first step for many of us looking to eliminate our reactions to the stress we experience, and is complimentary to every other form of self-help stress reducing techniques out there.
The hard part is, as with any type of improvement course, is to find the courage in yourself to take action and to actually PRACTICE the methods that may have benefit for you. And then to maintain that practice until you have reached the point it becomes automatic, and practice has become perfection.
If you have read or watched "The Secret" which has garnered worldwide media attention, then this book will answer many of the "whys" we are left with after being introduced to the power of intentions.
I have only tried to put into effect the techniques in the book for a few days and already have seen improvement in how my own stress is being handled. Granted, it will take many days and weeks, maybe months, to rewire my automatic responses to my outside AND inside world - but I'm confident that this little book will be a great roadmap in addition to all my other traveling tools.
