HeartMath Assessments at The Maple Center
For over a decade, the
Institute of HeartMath has conducted leading-edge
research on the relationship between the heart and brain
and the ways in which this relationship affects
physical, mental, and emotional health and human
performance.
Recent biomedical research has
revealed that the heart is not just a simple pump, but a
highly complex, self-organized information processing
center with its own functional "brain." With each beat,
the heart continuously communicates with the brain and
body via the nervous system, hormonal system,
bioelectromagnetic interactions, and other pathways.
The HeartMath Research Center has demonstrated
that the messages
are demonstrating that
the heart sends the brain not only affect physiological
regulation, but can also profoundly influence
perception, emotions, behaviors, performance, and
health.
When a person learns to consciously focus on gratitude
and love in their heart center, their heart rate
variability (the time between sequential heart beats)
changes from erratic to a sinusoidal pattern that varies
with breathing-called Brain and Heart Coherence.
Biofeedback software has been developed by the HeartMath
Institute to assist one in learning to shift emotions in
a positive way. The Maple Center is pleased to announce
that we will begin offering free sessions to teach these
techniques using the biofeedback software.
The Maple Center is
pleased to announce that we will begin offering
HearthMath assessments for individuals beginning March
12, 2007. These FREE assessments may be scheduled on our
website at
www.themaplecenter.org
or by calling The Maple Center office at 812-234-8733.
Appointments are scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays
between 9-11 AM.

"Nearly every disease or illness I've seen or treated in
two decades of medical practice could have been improved
or even cured had my patients or I known how to access
the physical power of our heart's intelligence.
HeartMath is the owner's manual we've been waiting for
to help us recognize and use our heart's energy to help
heal our bodies and our lives."
