The root of every major problem we deal with begins with the amount of stress we have and how we manage it. The Institute of HeartMath (http://www.heartmath.org)is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping people establish heart-based living and global coherence. So, what is meant by personal and global coherence? Personal coherence, also known as psychophysiological coherence, refers to the synchronization of our physical, mental and emotional systems. It can be measured by our heart-rhythm patterns: The more balanced and smooth they are, the more in sync, or coherent, we are. Stress levels recede, energy levels increase and our brain and what HeartMath calls the "heart brain" are working together. It is a state of optimal clarity, perception and performance. HeartMath tools and technology have been scientifically proven to help us achieve personal coherence. Global coherence refers to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the greater community of human beings, while acting in concert with their own hearts, each other and nation to nation in harmony with our living planet. HeartMath believes coherence on a grand scale is highly achievable when large numbers of people focus their heart intelligence on a common goal. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Howard Martin, Executive VP, Strategic Development who is also the co-founder of HeartMath , will be my guest. Howard has been instrumental in assisting Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath, in the development and teaching of HeartMath's programs since its inception. Howard is also the co-author with Doc Childre of The HeartMath Solution, published by Harper San Francisco and also developed Nightingale-Conant's tape series, The HeartMath Method. He is the key spokesperson for HeartMath and has conducted hundreds of news media and documentary film interviews including CNN Headline News, ABC Good Morning America, and ABC World NewsTonight.
