HeartMath is a Good Feeling Therapy

HeartMath is the name of a very interesting kind of biofeedback. Think about learning to manage the time between heart beats, using a computer program, in about five to ten practices, and then being able to cue a very pleasant relaxation response when ever you want. ( Remember, you have learned it, and no longer need the computer. Your cue thought will trigger the response)!

I have been using HeartMath personally and professionally since late in 2000. (It is a great parenting tool, by the way, allowing me to parent from my playfullness rather than my temper).

I am a counselor, in private practice, and I work a lot with court ordered clients, who need to complete either a domestic violence protocol or an anger management protocol to complete their probation.

Lots of those clients, because of what has happened to them in their lives, have reason to be suspicious, fearful, or angry routinely, and my trying to "therapize" them with Cognitive Behavioral or Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy models are met with scorn. ("Won't work in my neighborhood...ect.")

However, using the HeartMath tools is a way to get around these doubts and concerns and to teach how fast thoughts impact physiology (about 1/18th second), and how subtle the influence of thought on physiology is. By increasing awareness, I am giving my clients the ability to make quicker choices, some of which may involve more peaceful conflict resolution styles.

Can you imagine managing your internal chemistry literally heart beat by heart beat?

Your Heart Has Its Own Brain?

The folks who are creating the HeartMath applications have worked extensively with the heart's own brain.

Yes, the heart has intelligence, (its own nervouse system, which regulates its own beat). That intelligence is affiliative and cooperative, and with practice, I can learn to utilize that intelligence to solve problems cooperatively and affiliatively.

In fact, the heart has more impact on the brain emotionally than the brain does on the heart. Because of both electromagnetic energy created from the heart's contractions and the heart's pneumatic impact from pumping blood, the heart impacts every neuron every time it beats.

To use a musical analogy, if I can get my heart to beat coherently (time between beats is consistent), then every cell in my body dances at that frequency, like a symphony orchestra playing exquisitely.

And the neat thing, I can cue this physiology anytime I want, no matter what is happening in the external world. (You know, even winning the lottery can be stressful). So the internal world, my chemistry inside my body, can be healthy and relaxed at any given moment, if I so desire to practice my heartmath skills. Or I can make that same chemistry one of adrenalin and cortisol, which ages me a little faster than I need to age.
