VIDEO: How one technique is creating calmer, happier people one breath at a time
When Diane Ball’s mind turns to looming deadlines and pressures at work, she takes a nice, deep breath on a count of five and exhales to the same count, all the while concentrating her attention on the area in and around her heart. The simple act of focused breathing restores balance to her autonomic nervous system, the portion of the system responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body.

New Study Raises Concerns about Current Test-Taking Requirements
There’s no doubt that today students are under intense pressure to perform academically, but at what cost? The Institute of HeartMath and Claremont Graduate University released a new study that depicts the high levels of anxiety students are shouldering due to the pressure to excel intellectually. Nearly two-thirds of the high school students who participated in the study reported being affected by test anxiety. The study underscores the detrimental impact of test anxiety on academic performance. Based on their findings, researchers say that students’ high levels of anxiety may jeopardize NCLB assessment validity and could be compromising testing results.

In no time, your feelings of depression will lessen and dramatic changes will take place in your mind and body that will result in better health and greater peace of mind.
“This book shows how specific practices of mindfulness and emotional mastery can help anyone regain control fo their physiology, and therefore their mind. This is an important help in the treatment of depression.”

What the Heart Knows
Dr. Bruce H. Lipton has done an elegant job of showing how the dogma of genetic determinism is just that – dogma. He has shown that our genes and cells respond to signals from outside the cells, including the hormonal and energetic messages that reflect our emotional, mental and spiritual experiences. Lipton and others’ research reveals that rather than being determined by our genes, we actually are continually changing our genes by what we choose to think, feel and do. Such choices are constantly being genetically encoded in our brain and energetic structures.
