Episode 90: Incorporating the Heart’s Intelligence Into Day-to-Day Experiences, with Howard Martin [PODCAST]

It can be difficult to find common threads among all societies across the globe. For Howard Martin, it’s clear what binds us all together: the heart. As one of the passionate people behind HeartMath, Howard has seen first-hand the impact heart-centric thinking and living can have. But it’s not just about emotional findings – it’s about science. The HeartMath methodology is backed by a tremendous body of research – offering proof that the heart does much more than pump blood. Understanding the impact the heart can have, says Howard, can truly transform lives and even has the potential to change the world.

Connecting with your own heart to live a more fulfilling life.

Through his own self-discovery process, Howard connected with his own heart and realized the profound impact it can have. His experience led him to HeartMath, an organization founded on the principles of compassion, resonance and transformation as core values. At its core, HeartMath is a training and research organization dedicated to activating the heart of humanity. Howard discusses how connecting with the heart can impact areas throughout the mind and body, as well as the world around you.

The goal of continuous self-improvement.

Through decades of research, one thing has become clear: the heart is more powerful than we’d imagined. Howard shares some of the revelations of the HeartMath research, including its impact on our hormonal system and how it can influence our moods. The truly astounding research offers proof that our heart actually influences our electromagnetic field, which collectively can transform societies. Howard shares some tips to help bring heart coherence into daily practice and offers insight into the impact heart focus can have.

Creating a heart coherent state and the impact it can have.

When you shift your focus to your heart, Howard says, you experience a tremendous shift in your thinking and, therefore, your life. He discusses the concept of heart intelligence and how, when we come together, this consciousness can truly shift the global consciousness. Howard discusses his focus on continuous self-improvement and the goal of HeartMath to create harmony in the world by activating the heart of humanity.

What is the Global Coherence Initiative?

Howard goes on to discuss the Global Coherence Initiative, which is a membership site dedicated to bringing people together in order to shift the global consciousness. By connecting people around the world with a common goal, GCI is able to activate the heart of humanity and truly make an impact. Howard shares how this can create a more positive life, healthier societies, and even reduce crime around the globe. This powerful and inspiring conversation brings to light the profound impact we can have when we come together for the common good of humanity.
