Numerous drawings, diagrams and cartoons illustrate the text of this 32-page booklet.

The Appreciative Heart - e-Booklet

The Appreciative Heart: The Psychophysiology of Positive Emotions and Optimal Functioning

By Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., and Doc Childre

Heart’s Role in Emotions

The Appreciative Heart provides a concise overview of the physiological correlates of positive emotions and the scientific underpinnings of two core HeartMath techniques that help empower Heart-Based Living. The heart's association with positive emotions, wisdom and intelligence is central to most cultures. New empirical research is providing scientific validation for this age-old association. This scientific monograph provides the steps and applications of two HeartMath techniques, Freeze-Frame® and Heart Lock-In®, which engage the heart to transform stress and sustained states of coherence. Data from outcome studies suggest that these techniques facilitate a beneficial repatterning process at the mental, emotional, and physiological levels.

The Coherent Heart - e-Booklet

The Coherent Heart: Heart-Brain Interactions, Psychophysiological Coherence, and the Emergence of System-Wide Order

By R. McCraty, Ph.D., M. Atkinson, D. Tomasino, B.A., and R. Trevor Bradley, Ph.D.

Heart-Brain Interactions
The Coherent Heart provides an in-depth discussion of heart-brain interactions and the role of the heart in organizing systemwide coherence. Includes: Theoretical Considerations, Psychophysiological Networks, Benefits of Psychophysiological Coherence and its Measurement, A Typology of Psychophysiological States, how vagal afferent traffic inhibits pain perception and affects cognitive performance, difference between respiration and positive, emotion-driven coherence and the heart's roles in emotional experience and processing.

Intended primarily for researchers, medical professionals, students of psychophysiology and related fields and laypeople who desire a deeper understanding of HeartMath's research.
