HeartMath's Add Heart

In today’s rapidly changing world, resilience is a must-have skill.  Here at HeartMath, we define resilience as the ability to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the face of stress, challenges, or adversity. It’s helpful to think of being resilient as a healthy way of living  instead of as a needed action. While resilience is about bouncing back from unexpected challenges, we can also become...

The rise of employee stress has escalated to such a level that burnout is now classified as an occupational phenomenon according to the World Health Organization. Talking about feelings or heart in a company used to be seen as weak or “touchy-feely”. Yet now we’re seeing an emerging trend – an opening of heart within companies. Mental and emotional health and the mind-body connection are becoming...

Social media is a major influence in the lives of many people. It is an avenue for self-expression, a place to connect with others, and be swayed by others’ likes and posts. Social media isn’t just a place for videos, memes and small talk. It often shapes how people view the world. Social media is an important avenue to add heart and nurture our personal connections and the causes we care about. I...

Sparking this month’s Add Heart Call discussion, is the growing need for “compassionate latitude” for others and for ourselves.

With spring just one day away, we thought it’s a great time to talk about how we can recharge and renew. Each day we start out with a fresh charge to our personal energy – much like the battery in our phone. As we go through the day, we encounter many things that use up our personal energy. Some situations drain our energy, such as heated conversations, worry over the people or situations we care...

This month we’ll be talking about  reset , a simple, yet powerful process that can assist us now and throughout the year.

Stillness is an energetic quality that we can find – even in the midst of a busy day. It is a regenerative gift that only takes a sincere moment or two to access yet can change the course of our day. When we connect with inner stillness, we create a space to declutter our mind and hear our heart’s intuitive guidance. Stillness is an ancient practice, but so easy to dismiss in modern times. You’ve...

Host, Deborah Rozman and her special guest Jeff Goelitz, Director of Education at the HeartMath Institute.

Reducing separation, divisiveness and fear through the power of the heart From one perspective it may seem as though the human race is more divided than ever. 2020 was a year of events that amplified racial and political separation. And the global pandemic forced much of the world’s population into physical separation, creating divisiveness and fear. These and other global challenges are awakening...

The holidays are approaching and people are rethinking how to celebrate, given the pandemic and increasing stress levels.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many unexpected changes for all of us, including our children.

The past few months the pandemic and recent protest demonstrations have illuminated the importance of community and also where healing and cooperation are needed within our communities.

All of us need care to thrive – whether we’re receiving or giving care – it is vital to our existence. The ability to express love through our care is one of the highest attributes we have.

We feel more self-secure and resilient in life’s int...
