HeartMath is campaigning to connect a Million Hearts on April 22 by asking everyone to stop for 2 minutes and focus on the feeling of gratitude and appreciation for our beautiful planet. Watch their awe inspiring video here.

According to the American Institute of Stress, up to 90% of all health problems are related to stress. Additionally, a large body of research confirms that our thoughts and emotions have a dynamic effect on our health and vitality.
Emotions like frustration, insecurity and depressing feelings are stressful and inhibit optimal health. Positive emotions like appreciation, care, and love not only feel good, they promote health, performance and well being.
HeartMath's research has shown when you learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. A shift in heart rhythms may not seem important but in fact it creates a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The stress-reducing effects are both immediate and long lasting.
