Many people believe that emotions just flutter through you on a
whim, without control. Research has actually shown that you can have a
lot more control over your emotional well-being than you might think.
Like a muscle that needs to be exercised, anyone can build up their
"emotional muscle" as long as you are willing to devote some time and
practice to learn to harness this ability; it is entirely within the
realm of possibility for anyone!
Both negative and positive emotional states can and do have an impact on the body. In fact, up until a few years ago there were no studies on the subject of positive emotions. Most of the studies to date focused entirely on either pathological behaviors or the effects of negative mental reinforcement on the body (hostility, depression, anxiety, and stress). All this is changing, and the new research is exciting!
Researchers have learned that there is a way to connect with your heart, both in the physical world and in the metaphysical - emotional world. Not only is the heart affected by physical factors such as food, exercise, and cholesterol, but also poetry, philosophy, religion, and motivational speaking. When you reinforce a new, happier emotion by then changing your behavior while focusing on maintaining this uplifting emotion (such as, "Put your heart and soul into it!"), you set up a feedback system that spirals up and can actually change your heart pattern and physiology.
The different systems in your body (heart rhythms, nervous system, immune system, and hormonal systems) all react and respond differently. Positive reinforcement can bolster the immune system, enhance hormonal and nervous system balance, and actually disrupt pain. By harnessing this ability and acknowledging how positive emotions work you can transform your negative stress into a regenerative positive force.
Researchers have found that positive emotions can also smooth the heart rhythm patterns that allow for cortical or higher brain function. Conversely, negative emotions (like stress) and disordered heart rhythms are detrimental to a person's ability to think clearly. This explains why when people are stressed they often make mistakes or make decisions that they later regret.
Another fascinating discovery was that the electromagnetic field generated by the heart changes as the heart rhythm changed. This field can even be measured from across the room! As you feel and experience different emotions your heart and main organs are actually carrying these emotions patterned right into the electromagnetic field, like 'waves'. This electromagnetic field affects the environment around us and influences people around us too. Thus the term, "environment of stress."
The combined aspects of the physical heart and the emotional stimulus are referred to as the "energetic heart". The field acts as a conductor of the energy patterns produced by the heart.
In a nutshell, your positive or negative energy and attitudes can have an effect on other people by radiating through your electromagnetic field! So if you feel an honest positive emotion such as compassion, then you can convey that feeling to another person, as well as experience your physical heart and emotional state come into balance.
Attaching a heart monitor to watch your pulse would show you that your heart rhythm pattern can change as your feelings change by using the same techniques and biofeedback software used in the Burnout Breakthrough program. Researchers have learned that you can sync up certain heart patterns, and learn to understand their meaning with insight into your emotional state. For instance, smooth and coherent heart patterns yield a sense of solidity and security. Feelings of anxiety or stress are reflected in your heart patterns as looking jagged and incoherent.
When you learn how to get in touch with your energetic heart, you can change your heart rhythm patterns to another pattern when you are stressed, and your feelings will follow accordingly. Your mind then becomes clearer. You can sync your brain's electrical rhythms with your heart rhythms and feelings. With this adjustment you will gain a new perspective; you will generate a positive emotion, which will lead to pushing aside stress. You become more coherent, which expands your perception, allows you to make better decisions, feel more content with life, even sleep better, and ultimately live happier and stress free!
You will not only feel better right away, but you will continue to feel better. Changing your heart rhythm can literally change your life!

Stress significantly affects the development, progression and
recovery from a wide variety of diseases, and workplace stress may be as
bad for the heart as smoking and high cholesterol! It's free,
