Have you ever experienced a tragic event and felt like you had a broken heart? Most of us have. It turns out that there is more to just that feeling than we could have possibly known. It was always believed that the brain was responsible for sending signals to the heart but there is actually a two communication pathway between the heart and the brain. The heart sends signals to the brain which can an impact on mood, sleep and even HRV, something Complete Human has discussed at great length. HeartMath research has demonstrated that different patterns of heart activity (which accompany different emotional states) have distinct effects on cognitive and emotional function. During stress and negative emotions, when the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered, the corresponding pattern of neural signals traveling from the heart to the brain inhibits higher cognitive functions. This limits our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions. (This helps explain why we may often act impulsively and unwisely when we’re under stress.) The heart’s input to the brain during stressful or negative emotions also has a profound effect on the brain’s emotional processes—actually serving to reinforce the emotional experience of stress. from HeartMath Institute websiteIn this episode we discuss the science of the heart brain connection with Dr. Deborah Rozman, it's impact on HRV and general health and what people can do to really optimize their heart connection. 2020 was a difficult year. Kids were confined to their homes why they attempted to learn through a computer. Most of us were cut off from friends and family as stay at home orders swept the nation nd the planet. Our way of live was turned upside down and possibly forever changed. In short - a global trauma ensued. The information contained in this episode of Complete Human sheds a fascinating light on the science behind this kind of global trauma and how HeartMath is helping people from all across the world heal.
