Take Away The Stress!

There has been ample medical evidence over the past decade or so that confirms that stress is bad for our heart.  It’s not just our heart—many chronic illnesses are now linked to stress and the way we live our lives.  The Institute of HeartMath, a research organization in Boulder, Calif. has found that the electromagnetic signal of the heart is approximately 50 times the amplitude of the brain signals.  There turns out to be much more information going north from heart to brain than the other way around!  Since the brain is influenced by signals from the heart, school children can learn tools to decrease test anxiety, improve their emotions and attitudes, which could increase their scores and some students could get off their ADHD medications.  The avoided energy drain makes for higher performance.
