Biofeedback Reinvented - New Discoveries Show that the Heart Pulses Messages that Reveal Feelings
HeartMath essentially reinvented biofeedback in 1999 when they introduced the first affordable consumer stress-reduction product using their patented heart rhythm feedback. Their focus on heart rhythm feedback provided a refreshing departure from conventional biofeedback practices, and has since been adopted by more than ten thousand health professionals worldwide as an effective and invaluable tool for patients suffering from stress-related issues. Internationally respected for their research-based stress solutions, HeartMath peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated the critical link between emotions, heart function, and cognitive performance.

Happy Emotions Boost Creativity
Seeing the world “through rose-colored glasses” may not just be a metaphor anymore. Increasing evidence suggests that our mood literally affects the way we visually process information. According to a new study published in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a happy mood may “free our mind” and increase our creative thinking abilities. However, being in a good mood may also make us more distracted. “Having a positive mood affects your attention—it can broaden your visual field, literally,” said Dr. Adam Anderson, assistant professor of psychology at University of Toronto and senior author of the study.

Why Change Is an Affair of the Heart
In the drama of change, emotions, not logic, impel people to cast off the old and embrace the new
Everyone wants to know why so many IT projects fail to produce the business transformation they’re expected to. The reason we found after years of studying large-scale change may surprise you. Our research, based on interviews with hundreds of executives in Fortune 1000–type companies around the world, revealed that it is not the complexity of the technology, a lack of buy-in from top management, high cost or the failure to create shareholder value that derails new projects. Instead, the single biggest challenge in any transformation project is simply getting people to change their behavior.

The Intuitive Manager and Innovation
By: Leland R. Kaiser, PhD
Intuition gives birth to innovation. Innovation results in social and organizational change. Highly intuitive managers promote change by sensing “what could be.” By contrast, managers with little intuition resist change by reinforcing “what is.” In an absolute sense, “what is” is no more real than “what could be.” Either reality is equally available at all times to all healthcare organizations.
